Given the reputation of this park's clientele, that sounds like a supremely bad idea. Kinda kidding a bit. I graduated from U Albany in NY and we had a giant tunnel system to get from the dorms to the lecture halls. They were closed when I went there because of the assaults that were committed down there. Im glad your kidding.

I've always had a problem with that concrete throughout. I disagree with the building comment though. A great many of those buildings went through a small rehab, with new paint for holiday in the park. I agree with the walk from Superman to Batwing. One ride in the middle will fix that. Other than that, Gotham is fine, now that WW is there. Filled a big gap. Shade, you are right. I'm just one who doesn't care about it. I can spend all day in the sun. Yes, a beach guy here.

I remember people flipping out at the capacity of Superman at SFDK. Or Green Lantern at SFMM. Or every single 4D Free Spin (especially at the larger parks). This one really shouldn't be worse than those. Well, the FreeSpin coasters have higher capacity than these (they have the equivalent of 5 trains on this) and they're more likely to see interest decline to flat ride levels over time than a big full circuit ride. Also, let's be real - their capacity really isn't great. But Six Flags doesn't so much care about that in new rides. Want to sell fast passes.

You really talked to those guys? I'm still hung up on the arena for many reasons. Riddle me this is not leaving (too many people ride it, and the ride itself is reliable), and probably not Rodeo. Blizzard River I can see. RMC, mmm, wouldn't be surprised, but doubt it. So, I'm still 'guessing' that the arena is going for Justice dark ride; I take what Sally said with a grain of salt. They remove the zooamazon falls slides, and put a water coaster there. They'll mess up, and put in a Spinsanity. I'll take a Spinsanity! Those rides are fun and the closest one to me is at Dollywood I think. Nope. There is one at Go Carts Plus in Williamsburg.

Roar was closed again today . . . . . didn't see a "closed for the season" sign nor did I see any RMC guys there. Great weather today . . . . but no performances of the stunt show today. Roar was closed on Tuesday too. Maybe this could be a sign of an RMC makeover in the next year or two? Also, Six Flags doesn't have "closed for the season" signs. When Two-Face was SBNO for the entire 2008 season, there was a sign similar to the one in front of Roar's entrance all season.[attachment=0]20170725_195101.jpg[/attachment] We'll have to wait and see if an official announcement regarding Roar comes out. the longer the "closed for the day" sign remains . . . the more I wonder Last year, it was closed for a while. They did track work to great effect.

Add the stunt show. If the tall Australian sounding dude is acting that day, you will laugh continually. I like EFX. Add Bonsai Pipelines.... awesome. Ride the green slide for the fastest ride on Amazon Falls. You'll get heart pounding air time on the Mako slide. To this day, I feel like I'm going to fly off. Water in Splashwater Falls is way too damn cold, but have fun. A great shoot the chutes ride is here. Wouldn't ride Apocalypse, but if you do, ride the front or the second row. Be strategic when moving your head when riding. Also, make it the last ride of the day. Ride a middle car on Roar, front or back on Wild One, and first two rows on Mind Eraser. Back on Joker's Jinx. Drop tower is fine. For the size, it's an intense quick drop. If you do the go carts, pray that you get #12. That's all I have to say. I agree with basically everything else said about other things. Also, I agree with Alli. Too many enthusiasts bash. This comes mostly from pre- conceived notions. It's the human factor of herd mentality. Piling on if you will. Great example: The park runs 1 train a lot, but mostly they run 2 on the 'weekend', unless one is broken. I've even seen posts on here about the park running one train ON ALL rides at a certain time or all day, when I was at the park at the EXACT time that the person that posted was. The park was running 2. In other words, they straight lied. Mostly wanted to jump on the bandwagon, so I usually don't call them out. Once I took pics, then low and behold, someone claimed 1 train ops on all rides on that same day. We are all friends here, so I didn't post behind them. Took the high road. During the week (M-TH), 1 train is all they need. Most wouldn't disagree. The other bandwagon comment I hear ALOT. "Everything was a walk on"; on the weekend!! Now, I do agree that this is subjective. I consider a walk on as I got on the very next train. Some consider a station wait a walk on. Depends. Also depends on the parks that they are used to. I will say this. If you go during the week, before the water park begins to empty a bit (around 4-5), you will have many walk ons though. Ragin Cajin and Fireball lines can be devastating at times. I go all of the time. I have little complaints. Flat ride ops are always slow, but overall have gotten better. Wonder Woman and Zinger ops seem to be quick. Coaster ops are fine. People usually jump on the slow ops bandwagon. Usually people riding hold up ops. Not including Batwing, and when a rider doesn't hold up ops, I time consistent 45 seconds to 1 1/2 minute dispatches. I time from all butts in the seats. Timing is something that I do all of the time. It is fun to me. I always complain about the food lines. On constant occasion, food operations are unacceptable. They need better shade around the food stations while you wait. Plenty of shade where you sit and eat, but not where you wait. This is coming from one who likes being in the sun, and rarely complains about shade. Employee attitudes are always pretty good. May run into a bad apple or two. What workplace wouldn't you find those in? Honestly, SFA keeps one of the cleaner parks that I've been to. Lol,.not much to keep clean.. It's a smaller park. By the way, some people that post on here are very objective, which is good. I can always spot the bandwagon folks. I'm also one who doesn't compare. Some parks have bigger budgets than others, different sizes, a different customer dynamic, etc, etc.., I always take those into account. If I compared, every park would suck hard when compared to Universal and Magic Mountain...lol
