Coming from the east on I-80 was ultra foggy over the hill/mountain at like 1:00 pm. Me and my friend managed to see all the animals we wanted, rode medusa twice, roar twice, kong once in Row 2, keeping your head tucked into the turns helped a bit but still a bad ride. We did sky screamer once and we soaked a few people on the bridge exit of monsoon falls with cannon 3. Really light crowds, Medusa was a walk on on our second ride and we got 3 rounds of bumper cars in before they closed.

Best Theme Park Food
Fire2box replied to ChrisZer0's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ben and Jerry's was pretty good at SFMM last time I went. Everything else even (now replaced) moose burger lodge was mediocre IMHO. Thankfully it was all covered by the VIP package I won. It's so not worth the cost unless you got money to burn and don't live remotely close. -
#BanSelfieSticks - Help Us Spread The Word!
Fire2box replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Why don't we just bring our own. Then when we see others being stupid with theirs we engage them in a "lightsaber duel." destroying them both, getting park sercuirty to notice and ban them. (joking, but still these types of people suck.) -
Please share your secret. All of my Kong rides have been nothing but pain and regret. I'd love to know too. The rattle of my brain isn't bad but my ears hurt like I had overly tight headphones on for like 4 hours from my head slamming into the OTSR's. Also I'll wear my Oakland A's shirt, pretty sure me and my friend will be the only one's in them at the park. Have been the only one to wear oakland A's shirt's after the A's season died after the wildcard in Kanas City, from what I've seen. My plans are to check out the animals first, go see the depressing fish/shark exhibit (looks much more run down then from 2010) hit roar, bumper cars, then medusa and kong.

Sounds like Apocalypse will be fine for me. Roar is a bit rough but I don't think its as rough as The Grizzly at CGA from like 2004-2007, though I haven't been on that either after Cedar Fair re-tracked it or whatever happened with it. Also I still think Falling Skies would of been a nice re-theme for the coaster, I mean that shows still on right?

Are Alpine Coasters credits?
Fire2box replied to K1ngdaKa88's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Right, but even that has it's flaws. For example, RCDB does not list Olympia Looping or Alpina Bahn and I'm pretty sure this should count as a roller coaster. I don't follow anyone else's list but my own. I also stopped counting in 2012 which makes things even easier now. I just ride stuff for fun and not worry if it's a credit or not! Has anyone been known to survive that? Looks like the closet thing to that euthanasia roller coaster design. -
They aren't for me. Might not be up until march I think, because a lot of SF parks are closed for the winter season. First time I've had season passes since the perk system existed. I miss the rewards you get for coming, it was some beta program in like 2010. like a free soda, a one time use front of the line pass, etc. it rewarded you for coming back and using your pass.

Whenever there are updates to it someone will surely post about it within 4 or 6 hours on here, maximum. You can also visit rocky mountain constructions social media accounts or watch that "our mountain" facebok page. Betwen TPR, RMC and that page there's no way you'll ever miss a major update about TC.

Which rides have given you greyouts?
Fire2box replied to rcjp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Goliath at Magic Mountain did once, but not in the helix. It happened on the 2nd drop after the tall U-Turn. -
Motorcycle on the Red Bull Roller Coaster!
Fire2box replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Excellent. Surprised they were able to do backflips like that. -
Days where there's cheerleading/dance competition at SF:DK means the park will be jammed packed and lines that are normally 20 mins long in the "off-season" become 40 mins long at the shortest. Because families will only watch when their kid is doing something and siblings will be bored and go do the rides. Meanwhile the groups of performers will stand off to the side doing some final practice stuff. If its anything like these events at SFDK, expect very, very heavy crowds. I went once recently (I think during Fright Fest) when there was a cheer competition and the park wasn't too crowded. I can't remember exactly when it was, though, but it was a Sunday. I think I was there that same day. It wasn't so horrible I wanted to throw myself off the top of medua's lift hill, but the parking lot became filled that they had to open the parking lot of the fairgrounds. Personally i'd avoid such days but SFDK doesn't give updates on these sort of events.
