  1. That is the worst thing I've ever seen. Why point me out though. BTW I'm not even Asian. Please get that off of here!
  2. I do agree SFMM isn't perfect. For instance their main gate is crappy and worn down. But the one thing I really hate is the painted walkways at SFMM! Other than that I think the park is perfect in it's own way. Don't get me wrong, the employees are kind of...well not the best, but that isn't the parks fault. Because I go to the park almost daily I've found a hidden beauty within the park that you guys can't understand completely. To me there is no need for the park to add it's own scenery, because I appreciate the park for what it is; the mountain views of my hometown, the trees and plants, and etc. One thing that I love about SFMM is that they found the Coaster name of all time, none can be better and most people over look it. That is Full Throttle. The reason is that Full Throttle isn't just a theme, it is an opinion of life. Other rides around the world have name like El Toro, Top Thrill Dragster, and The Smiler. But what do those name really mean? The Bull, Dragster, and I really don't know what the Smiler means at all. Those are just random themes, Full Throttle is unexplainable as a fact.( Well to me no coaster name can top. Don't want to start a debate).
  3. Well, there goes your credibility for absolutely anything ever again. Why does everyone hate SFMM? They are one of the best parks out there. They don't have many family rides because Knott's and Disneyland are nearby. And their themeing is decent. Yeah, SFMM is not the best (Cedar Point is!), but SFMM is still a really good park. Since 2011 the park has changed and it's much cleaner than it was.
  4. Trust me there better than you would think. SFMM isn't some crappy park. There food options are much better then they used to be. I can't tell if this is sarcasm or if you have never had any Mexican food...ever. I wasn't being sarcastic. If you tried it, you would agree with me. FYI Carna Asadas are my favorite and I've had them from my different places(outside the park). Make sure you get the Gold Pass or you won't get in early.
  5. Trust me there better than you would think. SFMM isn't some crappy park. There food options are much better then they used to be.
  6. Don't know why my viper photo showed up first when it was 2nd to last? Hot Rod Racer parts are here, but are hard to spot. Wind must have broke the Green Lantern Single Rider sign. Best place in the park to get food is Food Ect. There Carna Asadas are amazing. They're some of the best I've ever had. 5 min wait! Full Throttle Night Rehearsal. The track is gray, not red as they were thought to be. Well unless they get painted. x2 and Viper look to be the exact same height from here. 4 times in a row in the front on Viper!
  7. If you arrive at the park(not parking lot, the front gate) at 9:50 you'll get in quickly. Trust me it's worth waiting that long for the front gate. Also there is a Discover Credit card line that gets in 5 mins early, but thats if you have a Discover cards though. The M&M path is easy to spot if your looking for it.
  8. Everyone says do X2 first, but they don't know what they're talking about. Do Full Throttle first, then X2, tatsu, superman, then head towards the back of the park. On Saturday I did those rides in that order and didn't wait more than 5 mins for any ride! While Full Throttle and X2 were running only one train!
  9. Bonzai Pipeline has started going up. Looks like Venom Drop Lives! But with a drop capsule.
  10. This is my trip report from 5/8/14. I arrived at the park around 4:15 There are now red paint lines on the rails at the top of the loop. Don't know why they're there. Revolution has been down for like a month, but it was testing today. It should reopen this weekend. New advertisements. Now to ride the 2nd most over rated ride in the world, X2.(first being MF at Cedar Point) Another entrance sign! Another entrance sign! Viper is still one of my favorites in the park Top hat and loop though the trees. Another entrance sign! Sideways brakes of doom! No line! Nerdy stuff! More nerdy stuff! The motor with an annoying high pitched squeak. Another entrance sign! Full Throttle's loop again! The music worked today! Old track colors on the transfer Music Box More squeaky motor More ugly old paint They were only running one so with no line it took almost 30 mins! The only video this screen ever plays. More ugly paint Now it's time for Viper! My favorite Arrow Dynamics coaster. (yes, I like this even more than Magnum XL 200) Never use the Single Rider line for Viper. The operators don't even know there is one. More work on Hot Rod Racers..... and the theater! Note: the only way to get the whole Superman tower in the shot is to tilt your camera 90 degrees. Today I went for my 250th ride on Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom! Fun Fact: The Superman tower according to Tim Burkhart sways up 4 feet! 2 feet each direction! Scotty We Need More Power! (A Star Trek quote that my friend says every time on Superman) Then I rode Batman Backwards! Great ride as always! Then for one of my favorites! Green Lantern: First Flight I've gotten 9 flips on this ride once. 9 full 360 degree flips. You have to see the movie before you can understand the line. I was on the last ride of the day! Better view The sign should go up soon Full Throttle only had a 10 min wait today! Even with one train!
  11. More parts for Bonzai Pipelines are here. My camera ran out of power so I couldn't get a picture of it. If anyone wants to check it out, they're behind Scream.
  12. Go to Full Throttle first, then X2, Tatsu, S:EFK, then GL:FF. The gold passes get you in 10 mins early(makes a huge difference) or if you have a Discover Credit Card you get in 5 mins early.
  13. 3 things happening at the park today! Foundation for Hot Rod Racers Full Throttle Sports Bar is open Bonzai Pipeline was being hosed down by a guy on a crane
  14. Today I did Full Throttle, X2, Tatsu, Superman, and Riddler in less than an hour. If you plan to stay two or more days, get a gold season pass, because you get free parking, early entry(which does makes a huge difference), and you can go to all Six Flags parks for the rest of 2014. Best deal out there. Do Full Throttle first than go to X2, then try to go towards the back of the park , because the first hour and a half there's no one in DC Universe. Green Lantern, riddler, and Drop of Doom both have single rider lines that work quite well, and can be done later in the day. Trust me I go every week at least once if not that whole week.
  15. Don't know if anyone said this already, but I think it will like Falcon's Fury, but start underground(with special effects) and maybe go higher. My guess is it's not what the ride does that's amazing, but the effects that push the limits.
  16. It might be because they take you picture, but who really buys them? At least they do pay the locker fee for you. I think that they think it come out of pocket, because I already took a picture and I was about to get on the ride.
  17. Adventuredome and Vegas Trip Report 2/22/14 Part ll Best Part of EL Loco Rim Runner! There is a lot of that ride left over! This what the under side of an EL Loco car looks like! Trick Track! What a weird element. Time to get away from EL Loco. Spongebob 4-D is really good, but I do prefer the old Spongebob one to the new one. Chaos is still awesome and always will be! I love these rides. Why did all the other parks get rid of them, but Adventuredome? I mean I know they had problems, but why didn't Adventuredome get rid of theirs? Rim Runner again. I forgot to take a picture of Canyon Blaster. So this was the best of that ride in picture form. Out of the dome to go to NYNY. We parked by the LINQ. (Bad idea)! Like I said bad idea, because the sidewalks in Vegas on a Saturday night are packed! It took almost 30 mins to there from LINQ! Hated Manhattan Express! It was my first TOGO coaster even redone by Premier and it was still bad! Why does it still have those weird Shoulder bars? And they have a dumb policy. If they see a phone or camera out in line it has to go in a locker. They won't even let put it in your pocket! If my cam and cell has survived Green Lantern: First Flight, Magnum XL-200, and EL Loco it could survive this! That's it for the Adventuredome. Oh on the way back I saw the supports for SFMM's new Hot Rod Racers coaster. The supports were black. Didn't get a pic because my camera was in the back of the car.
  18. I went to the Adventuredome on Saturday. I started the drive near SFMM at 5 in morning. This picture was about...well the middle of nowhere. There's Desperado. Didn't do this coaster, beause it was like 9 in the morning. Is it just me or does that Ferris Wheel look tiny! As soon as we arrived a German guy who spoke little english was trying to get directions to LA. His navigation system of coarse was in German. Look it's the Fright Dome car! I heard on this thread that it looks bigger in person. To me it's tiny. If you'd guess I have the opposite of a fear of hights. I have a fear of not being high off the ground. Loco Time! It always makes a clanking noise going over the last inversion. This is the small station use to be used by Rim Runner. I thought the logo was painted on? Hey Dummy! The lines did get long, like 25 mins. I'll post part ll later today. It will include Manhattan Express and the LINQ.
  19. Hi, I'm Great American Coasters and I'm new to TPR. I will only post park updates on this thread. Bonzai Pipelines parts are behind Tornado!
