Thanks for the great photos! I've been evac'd from Indy twice this year and Splash Mountain twice but never got food vouchers. That's okay, the evac is a treat in and of itself.

Allison, the hostess with the mostest? And then something about trying the donuts at the Cyber Cafe? I hear her spiel whenever I take the O. Express up the hill. I wish the Tatsu ops, which we've mentioned many, many times, along with the aforementioned Goliath op, wouldn't repeat "Is everybody in?" a la the X2 recorded spiel so many times. I rode Tatsu 3 times during morning ERT and they used it each time.

A huge thank you to all that were involved with WCB at SFMM! Unfortunately, I couldn't stay for nighttime ERT and yet it was still an awesome experience for me. I was running a bit late but Robb and Elissa were so quick to register me that I didn't miss much of morning ERT. Mark was an excellent guide for the back stage tour. At Q&A, I really got the sense that Jay and Neil and Tim were just as excited about this event as we were. Free bottled water was great too! I'm not sure if the park profited financially from us and if they didn't, it's all the more impressive that they rolled out the red carpet for us, so to speak. Thank you once again and see you all at WCB 2011!

^Austin, I guess you weren't treated to the Tatsu Ops Comedy Hour then? It seems like the Goliath op has toned down her act a bit from the summer so be glad about that.

I went today as well. It wasn't extremely busy but because there was no X2 or Deja Vu, it made Tatsu's lines longer than what they might normally be. Although they were loading on both stations, it seemed like the station on the Ninja side was much, much slower. It also seems like while the Tatsu ops have taken their act even further, at least the Goliath op (blond girl) seems to have toned down hers. I think I read about this many pages ago but that restroom over by the lockers! wow! what a renovation! Overall, I got in 20 rides today including my first ever rides on Tatsu and Revolution in the dark.

I read Robb's tour of Asia theme parks trip reports on another site, saw a link to this one and decided to join up, especially since we have such an extensive group of SFMM locals.

For what it's worth, my 2010 Xtreme pass is identical to what Eric described on the previous page.

Calicoasters and southpuddle, are your passes green? When I renewed my xtreme pass online, they sent me the green play pass instead. Even if you guys had to pay for parking to get the situation fixed, I would imagine that Guest Relations should be able to refund the parking charge to you.

That food discount should be good at all sit down counter service establishments but not food carts. Often times, you may need to remind the employees about the discount. I got hosed at Katy's Kettle once last year as well as Flags when I bought some merchandise. For Katy's, they didn't give me any money back but at Flags they gave me back the difference in cash. There probably aren't that many Xtreme pass holders compared to Play Pass and so that may be a reason for the mix ups. Heck, I just renewed online a few weeks back and received the Play Pass instead of Xtreme.

^Oh well, that's my loss that I didn't stick around today. =(

It seemed very crowded to me as the plaza in front of the gates filled up more quickly than I'm accustomed to. I only went there to get my pass renewal problem solved (renewed my Xtreme pass online but got the Play Pass in the mail) and once I saw that crowd, decided to just come back another day.

It's a lot easier now to get from Sylmar to Six Flags now that Santa Clarita Transit runs an express bus from North Hollywood station to McBean Station. I think the last bus leaves Valencia at 9 pm so one should be able to stay as late as 8 pm at SFMM were they to utilize this option.

I like that idea! I've not been out there since September, actually, so I'm a bit overdue for a visit.

I renewed my Xtreme pass online but got a Play pass in the mail today. The card is green, says 2010 Play Pass on it, does not have the same bar code as my 09 Xtreme pass and does not say "parking" on the pass. Furthermore, my credit card was charged for the Xtreme pass renewal. Is this a situation that I'd be able to fix by going to Guest Services at the park or would I need to do it through the site?

Actually, X2 was running 2 trains later in the day when I had my mini marathon of 3 straight rides. This was around 2-3 pm, by the way and all 3 rides were walk ons! I had a great day and set a personal best with 33 rides, including 7 on Terminator. I'm joining the club of those of us who can't take the outside seat on X2 anymore.
