At the park now! New Diamond Elite VIP Card!! Aquaman update! Turntable should be added just on the other side of the hill! New VIP cards look great! Diamond Elite Members who DID NOT pause their memberships at any time during the pandemic are automatically upgraded! I will follow the progress on Aquaman and post updates as they become available.

SFOT is pushing back Aquaman Power Wave until 2022 as well, even though the ride was basically complete except for the queue and loading station. The reason for this, however, seems perfectly understandable. The new park management has made what, in my opinion, is a wise decision. They're adding the turntable loading station as well as an extra ride vehicle to increase capacity. This involves removing that section of track along with the footers and replacing them with the turntable itself. The loading station also has to be re-designed to accommodate the turntable apparatus. None of this woul

Here are a few shots of me riding Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster with my friend Mike. NOTE: All photos are by Nick Carlos, TTS staff photographer. Wave Breaker is good Intamin family style launched coaster! Those trains look cool! Over the water! Mike's arms weren't long enough to reach the hand grips! lol -

Here are some photos of the Texas Thrillseekers (TTS) ERT on Texas Stingray during our recent SWSA event. I'm in all of them, I'm the guy with dark hair and glasses. Texas Stingray is possibly the best GCI I've ever been on. The ride is fast and furious with great pacing on all the elements! At the end of the day, Ray Gonzales and the staff at SWSA surprised us with gifts of Texas Stingray wood! It's leftover wood from Texas Stingray made into souvenirs! NOTE: On-ride photos are by TTS staff photographer Nick Carlos. Trains look nice! This would be me! The dispatches were great! E -
^ Catwoman Whip will be the park's "New For 2021" attraction, so no real surprise as to the lack of construction. Most SF parks are following this same path. Here at Over Texas, Aquaman: Power Wave is very nearly complete save for the queue and splash pool. But it seems that all work on the ride has stopped and won't resume until possibly next year. The only SF park that seems to have completed it's "New For 2020" attraction is Fiesta Texas. Their Dare Devil Dive ride is already operating.

Some pics I took today. Hand sanitizer stands like these all over the park. A few mask selections were available. I chose this one. It appears that some work had been done on Aquaman. That building off to the left houses the electrical system. The concrete section is part of the water filtration system. Joker was running today. Riddler was down. Catwoman was only loading every other seat. Harley was running at reduced capacity. Aquaman seen from the Oil Derrick. The power building is plainly visable to the right of tower 1.

Screamscape is saying that Catwoman Whip, which had been intended for SFSTL, is being put on what they call "long term hold". It seems that other SF parks are having their "New For 2020" attractions put on hold as well. But it does appear that SFFT's Dare Devil Dive ride has resumed construction and is nearing completion. However, there has been no word on the fate of SFOT's Aquaman: Power Wave. The new Mach Rides Power Splash, which replaces the old Hopkins Chute The Chutes ride, was far along in it's construction when the park closed down.
