Hey TPR! It's been a hot minute since I've been on here but since I might be able to swing a quick trip to SFOT during Holiday in the Park while I'm in town for the Cotton Bowl, I have a few questions: -Since I'll be staying in downtown Dallas (non-negotiable, let's just say I'm part of a group that has some special gameday duties ), does anyone have any experience using Uber to get to the park or at least know if it's possible? (Is there some sort of drop-off area, or would the driver have to go through the parking line? etc.) -What should I reasonably expect to be open during HITP?

Glad to hear you (have?) had a good time here in California! I'll be waiting to hear more about why you recommend Sonoma Train Town, since I'm probably not too far away but haven't heard of it

Since they've already announced RailBlazer, why wouldn't they wait until next year to close Loggers Run? I doubt they'd be starting a waterpark expansion so early...

So I guess SFDK and CGA are both getting RMCs this year...

That makes sense...do you think Twisted Cyclone would fall under that banner too, though? EDIT: Apparently the park was teasing the ride with the hashtag #ChaseTheStorm2018. So it sounds like this is a placeholder name after all...

Just looked back at the renderings and noticed the edges of the pictures seem to conveniently obscure any view of Whitewater Falls. Is there any possible significance to that, or am I just over-thinking things as usual?

That doesn't sound very family-friendly...

So far... CGA took out Invertigo before I was tall enough Knott's: Boomerang, Coast Rider, Sierra Sidewinder SFDK: My first few visits missed Zonga, then Big Spin by a year or so :/ SFMM: Deja Vu (sigh!), Apocalypse BGW: Went the year before Tempesto...and then we drove right by KD USO: Revenge of the Mummy...we decided to go back to the hotel instead! Figures.

I just now saw it on SFMM's Twitter too...it was only posted a few hours ago: (tried posting a mobile screenshot but it didn't want to play :/ )

With FastPass+, FPs can be reserved 2 months in advance by those staying at WDW resort hotels (I thought it was 1 month in advance for non-resort hotel guests, but I can't find that anywhere...) You can choose 3 if you're booking in advance. It is possible to get day-of reservations, but they seem to be pretty limited. Not sure how current this guide is, but Screamscape posted a guide to FP+ a while back that is pretty descriptive: http://screamscape.com/html/walt_disney_world_resort.htm#WDW-Fastpass

Knott's owns every square foot, or actually CF owns it. They lease nothing and are beholden to no one. He was talking about CGA, not Knott's.

One of my friends was at Volcano Bay yesterday and said that waits were generally around two hours and the slides had downtime issues, but he still had a good time. Granted, he wasn't the one paying for admission, so I suppose you could take it with a grain of salt...

Looks like a fun little place! Thank you for the TR.

...what is TSM? Sorry, I'm a nerd. The League of Legends (videogame) team Team SoloMid was there...they're probably the biggest players in eSports (goes to show how much of a thing that is I guess).

^Did you get to see TSM there?
