The start of the storm. The start of the storm. The start of the storm. 4am 12pm

Love the photos! I hope I can make it out to those parks sometime this century.

^Glad to know that Fair Park being open during non fair times is a semi recent thing then. Lets hope they start getting some awesome rides in the near future. I feel like a nice medium sized wooden coaster would do wonders for the parks attendance. When we were there the park was dead! I wish I had the chance to ride OTAG... Better yet, I wish I had the chance to ride any TAG.

I'd bet it was budget cuts. There's a reason why Ride of Steel only has 1 train. Bizarro at SFNE still has mist effects... I bet it was a budget cut too. Also Ride of Steel has two trains, every coaster at the park does. From what I heard, every coaster only ran one train this year due a dispute between managements. Maybe someone knows more or could help explain it better.

^Totally agree with you about Viper! For me my favorites were... 1. Outlaw Run. SDC 2. Superman Krypton Coaster. SFTT. 3. Backwards Viper. SFGAm.

I'm glad to see the construction crew pushing on even with all the snow! Great work guys! =D

The 3 Deja Vus were all built without them. They were added later on. Technically they aren't needed but I agree with your other post and would hate to see catcher 2 release early on that one. =P

I'm also not against them. I just want a brand new custom ride that is made for my park.

Good morning everyone! I hope everyones well and enjoying the off season. Today's trip report is from Summer Adventures at Fair Park is an awesome little place that is located at Dallas State Fair Grounds. We came here to escape SFOT for a little while and try to get a few extra credits, little did everyone know how awesome the place really was! As soon as we got walked though the turnstiles, we were greeted by a bunch of really friendly employees that leid us! It was a great way to set the mood for the chill atmosphere the park set. We only spent a few hours at the park, but let me tell you that it wasn't enough! This place has so many fun rides, some i've never even seen before and some old school ones. Anyway onto the photos! Welcome to Summer Adventures! This was the very first thing I noticed when I entered the park and it was the first ride we did! I've been a site controller (To make it simple, I know a ton about them and i'm able to train team members how to safely operate them at SFNE) so I get to ride them for free! I love everything about them so seeing this was a pleasant surprise. The park had tons of these covered walk ways to try to keep guests cool on days like today. They also had a few funky life sized games like this checker board! They also had Windstorm. Now what I thought made this ride so fun was when we got into the station, the operator asks, Do you want the normal ride or do you want to go into the underwater tunnel? Since we were curious about what he meant by that, we said underwater tunnel. As the ride cycled and came by the station, the operator would spray us with a hose! It really made for a fun, unique experience. Also the coaster had that awesome drop about half way into the ride! Oh they also had a 500ft observation tower! Base of the tower. The cabins supports to the tower. The top of the tower! Looking down the tower. The park from above. Note all the blue awnings. Such a pretty little park. =] Windstorm from above. Hey Dallas! The park had some really cool flats like this one! After our ride on the observation tower, the park closed for the day. But that meant its time for the Florider ERT and Dinner! Here's a photo of me busting my butt on my first ever attempt riding one of these things! Overall I had a great time at the park. The park went well out of their way to make sure that we were as happy as could be. A big thank you to everyone at the park for your wonderful hospitality! I can't wait to head back there soon! So have you guys been to the park before? What did you think of it? Is it really different when the state fair is going on? If so how? Thanks for reading everyone. I hope you enjoyed the report! Please make sure to comment down below letting me know what you thought of the report and of the park! Next Update: Magic Springs!

I think SFNE needs a NEW coaster. The last new coaster we got was Pandemonium in 2005. Gauntlet and Goliath were both transfers.

Thats not a neuter though. That's just the ride running on a cold day. That happens to just about every coaster.

Last time I was at the Taco Bell in my city, they had a painting of what seemed to be b&m track! Next time I go I'll snap a photo of it.

I got into just about every Facebook game, along with crandy crush, ruzzle, and stamped run.

Yes Do you like snow?

It's 4am right now. Should I go out and shovel during a blizzard or stay in bed.

I know thats not true about Maintenance having to be called when a car comes in upside down. I've been on upside down cars coming into the station and though it sometimes take a minute, the ops can right you. Besides, even loaded the way it is, right before the station is the one place it almost always flips. Its the drops before the last one where the balancing takes away the flips. Maybe things have changed on it over time? I remember when I went to west coast bash in 2012 and they had to call Maint. for that issue.

One off the top of my head is Batman & Robin: The Chiller getting its rolls taken away before getting taken down all together.

Hey everyone! I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Years celebration! It's a new year so that means it's time for another update from the Texas Midwest tour! This time we're at Six Flags Over Texas. I was really excited to check out this park for a few reasons, one major reason being Texas Sky Screamer. Another reason, was because I always played that level in RCT2 and I really wanted to see what the park was like in real life. Corny I know. Anyways, I remember this being the hottest day of the entire tour. At 9am it was already over 90 degrees and with humidity felt over 100. I remember looking at my phone at some point during the day and seeing that it felt like 116 degrees! Any who, on to the photos! Hey girl! The new hotness! A few minutes before the park opened for the day, A few people from SFOT walked us over to Mr. Freeze so we could get the first ride of the day! This was the first time I rode a coaster with an inverted tophat and man did I love it! After Mr. Freeze, we picked up our flash passes and walked over to Batman. This is a photo of the flash pass entrance for Batman. Honestly, I thought this was the strangest and sketchiest entrance to a ride i've ever been in. You walked behind the building and down what seemed to be a backstage area. It just felt weird. For some reason, every photo I have on the ride the tower is tilted... Is that because it really is or is it because I suck at taking photos? It's prob the second one. =p Sky Coaster & S&S Combo Complex! How much sexier can a photo get? =] Oh look, it's another Panda clone! I was another first for me. Every time I've gone to SFMM, Sky Tower was closed, so I was really excited to finally get on one of these! Artys shot. Even at the top of the tower, Sky Screamer is still tilted. Six Flags White Water looked like a pretty solid park. La Vibora is such a pretty coaster. I really wish I had more photos of it. So beautiful. Whats that dropping into the trees? Nothing to see here. Moving on... Hey Titan! After riding Goliath at SFMM, this was really nothing super exciting for me, but the extra helix was nice. =] Heres Judge Roy Scream for you lift hill enthusiast! Such a pretty coaster! It's even prettier at night! <3 Overall it was a really, really hot day at the park. So hot that we even took a break from the park and headed over to a second park along with spending some much needed time back at the hotel. While I did have fun, I feel like the extreme heat just made me have a miserable time at the park. Hopefully my next visit I won't be on the verge of passing out! So I want to try something new and hear from you guys! -Have you been to SFOT? -If so, what did you think of the park? -What did you like? -What do you think could be improved? -Favorite ride?
