Yes, the comments about the new system being "unsafe" are very silly. While I was in line tonight the train did stop when larger guest's were not able to properly be seated. In other words the train would stop and can if needed.

I'm at SFOT now and have ridden Giant twice. I think the new loading procudure is VERY efficient. The line moved very quickly, and there is even a pouch on the ride to place loose articles. As far as picking seats the operator controlling the line was allowing people, but stated they would have to wait for the next train or so.

I think most people are making to much of a big deal over the possibly new loading procedures on New Texas Giant. The park knows what they are doing, and if they determine this loading procedure is better then so be it. We will all live.

Cool. I hope its a wing coaster...those things look amazing!

I recently read a post on Screamscape stating that the FAA only approved a height limit on Skyscreamer of 227 feet, down from 240 feet announced earlier by Six Flags. I really don't think that 13 feet will make that much of a difference, it will still be a fun ride!

What do you guys think.....I'm excited for Skyscreamer and I think it will be a great addition to the park. However I would love to see a new coaster come soon. Do you guys think the park may add a coaster in 2014 where the closed mini mall is and Flashbacks old spot, or market new shows for 2014 since they are spending a bunch for Skyscreamer in 2013?

Six Flags has begun construction on TSS. me and a buddy were in the area not to long ago and it look as if they have been working on the foundation. We probably won't see the tower go up till next year though.

Sounds like a lot of folks hate Boomerangs lol. Listen I rode Flashback several times at OT and while I can say it was not the best ride there, it was still a lot of fun. I have read that a lot of people are describing it as a very painful ride. I dont know if its just me, but the ride never hurt me. I mean it was a little jerky, but that was expected. I can understand though how SFStL fans could be a little upset with the addition of Boomerang, but it is another coaster that adds to the coaster count. I personally love the way the CEO (James Anderson) is managing the parks. I mean EVERY park EVERY year will get something new. This has not happened in the past. I feel confident in SF overall future, and cant wait to see how all the parks evolve over the next few years.

For those wondering about the Christmas lights the park added to Texas Chute for Holiday In The Park every year, they will be adding the lights to both sides of the Oil Derrick Tower. I noticed the lights on both sides of the tower today as I was walking around the outside of the park. I think those lights will look very cool on both sides of the tower leading up to the stars the park places at the top of the tower each year for Holiday In The Park.

For those wondering if there was an extra train of Flashback sitting in the boneyard the answer is yes. Today I spent alot of time walking around SFOT and I saw a lot of things. Flashback (Bommerang) was in the parking lot receiving a green paint job. I then ventured in a wooded area by Titan and the boneyard and noticed 2 of Flashbacks trains sitting there. One was the one the park has been using with the Never Stop Screamer advertisement over the train, and another was a black train with the red restraints that looked like an older train. After reading reports on screamscape stating Boomerang may not be receiving new trains that could be true seeing that SFOT has 2 of the Flashback trains in the boneyard.

Today I have been walking around the outside of SFOT and noticed that they were painting Flashback (Boomerang) a green color. I've tried to upload pics here but it won't allow them

I've been walking around SFOT today on the outside of the park and I've noticed construction for Skyscreamer has begun. I took a video clip of the construction and if I can figure out how to post it here I will.

I'm sorry I should have made the post more clear. I know they use Texas Arena during Fright Fest. However, other then that they do not. I know in the past they used the Arena for live productions, and I was wondering if anyone knew why they do not anymore...

Does anyone know why SFOT does not use Texas Arena anymore? It's a nice arena that they have used in the past for shows. I wish they would either tear it down for something new, or bring a new live outdoor production.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm excited for Holiday In The Park. It's nice to see the parks Christmas lights, and Christmas shows. And maybe by then we could see parts of Skyscreamer being constructed?

I'm super excited for Iron Rattler! This ride looks sick! And I think it looks much better then Outlaw Run. Ive seen the animation videos for both rides and they both look awesome but to me Iron Rattler looks way better and longer too. My home town park is SFOT and RMC did an amazing job of the reconstruction of New Texas Giant. Iron Rattler looks like it could be better, especially with the the inversion being added. Really cant wait to ride it for the first time next Spring!

I have mixed reactions when it comes to SFMM. I have never been to the park, but after researching and reading several reviews this is what I have come up with. The park defiantly has a lot of trill rides. For thrillseekers this could be one of the best parks to attend. However MM seems to me to be lagging behind in other categories. For example, the park has many thrill rides but seems to be missing the family attractions, shows, and small rides for the young ones. Now I now they have a section for children, but it just doesn't seem to be enough. My home town park is Six Flags Over Texas and this park really seems to be the best when it comes to variety of rides and attractions. SFOT has the thrill rides, family rides, and shows. I really do believe that MM is missing out on these other family attractions. With Full Throttle opening, and droop of doom last year it just seems like MM caters to the thrillseekers. And there is nothing wrong with that if you are a thrillseeker. But for those who want the trills, and other family attractions, shows and so on, it just seems like MM is not the place for that. I mean MM even took out their family log flume ride to build Full Throttle. Listen this is just my personal opinion on MM as we are all entitled to. I'm sure MM is a good park and hopefully one day I will make the trip to Valencia to check it out.

I was at the park Friday night and La Vibora and Shockwave were not done. The track piece facing the parking lot of La Vibora looks done, but track pieces towards the end of the ride still needed paint. Shockwave's track looked to be fully painted but the support didn't look quit done yet. As far as Texas Sky Screamer goes look for the park to start construction on the foundation very soon.

Agreed. Adventure Theater does need a good makeover and hopefully that's what the park has decided to do. Back in it's early days during Dino-Island it was amazing. Spongebob was also pretty good. However Fly Me To The Moon was not very good in my opinion. So I do hope to see it reopen soon with a good show this time.

Iron Rattler looks like its going to be very awesome. I can tell you Rockey Mountain did a great job renovating New Texas Giant, and I expect this coaster to be just as good, maybe even a little better. Don't know yet thought, I cant wait to ride it!

I too noticed some minor things that could be fixed on Gold River Adventure. However, overall its a nice addition to the park, and especially for families. Has anyone heard anything about the reopening of Adventure Theater for the 2013 season? I read on Screamscape that it could be possible.
