2 trains, fast ops (except one rotation on Superman), and 2 (yes 2) station ops on Batwing. New 3 point shoot out court material.

You must have been there before I arrived because they were only running one train on Joker, Superman (excruciatingly painful operations), Roar and Batwing for the several hours I was there. Wild One had two trains going but the ops were slow to say the least. What's up with them now pushing the bars down for you on Wild One? Hmm? I just left a little while ago, and was there all day save for 2 hours. 2 trains on all except Mind Eraser. No slow ops. Not making things up or you...lol?? I will post a pic of the 2. This was mid afternoon. It was great. Batwing broke as usual, then the ride op said, "everyone go to the other station". Ah, the joy of having 2 stations.

News flash. Two station ops on Batwing..lol

Found out that there were over 10k people in the park on Sunday. I knew that it seemed a 'little' busy. If no one knows, that is a lot of people at SFA during a non water park day.

Yes, ROAR is a cold weather coaster. Always has been, but was better two-fold last year. That Gotham stage holds a lot of special events. It is going no where. I for one look forward to the BMX and body building show there. Since we are talking maybes, I have been saying that we are getting a water coaster next year. V2 a close second. I will talk maybes again in a few months. Just want to get the 2017 ride going first.

I thought April 1st had passed.

Yup, second to last row FTW.

I know. Hard to tell from the pic. Better than nothing i guess.

Yup, three times. I quite enjoyed it.

Lol, it's a 3 minute walk.

Only way it would work, to actually have entertainment value, would be to have it start at the furthest end of the water park, and end at the ass end of Mardi Gras. You'll get to basically see the entire park.

Batwing has a 30 minute wait when there's five people in line. Even ride OPs are worn out from the uninspiring walk back there. Build a path from Coyote Creek. Going through Whisltestop with the WWloT construction detour is more exercise than I care to do. It should be quicker but it isn't. Can I get a sky ride? Can I a get a SKY RIDE! From between the fountain and the water slides to the back between WWloT and Superman. Make em clear and call them WW invisible jets. Talk about cheap low thrill upgrade. You could tell the kids about the struggle. Sky Ride? That'll be the day, especially at small SFA. Now, I'm with you on the path. Been saying it for a while. The walk will be a little more inspiring with WW there, and V2 set in between S:ROS and Batwing. Oops, did I say that?

Tower is up. Saw it from the street.

Batwing has a 30 minute wait when there's five people in line. Lol,..true.

See this is just it. Superman to the bottom of the stairs is like a 3-4 train wait. Maybe not even that long. Wild One into only three of those switchbacks? 10 minutes or less. That's a walk on to someone that is used to waiting 30-60 minutes for their parks more popular rides. Ok, I understand that logic. The wait was about 20 for both of those mentioned. Batwing about 30.

Oh yeah, you will definitely have walk ons during that time, ..all year.

The 4 times I rode Wild One, it was MAYBE a one train wait each time. Superman was a walk on the entire time I was in the park. Usually a 0-1 train wait. Ragin Cajun actually did have a decent line the majority of the day, but no loss to me. I'm not a big fan of spin-n-puke coasters. When I did try to ride Batwing it had just broken down... But later after Batwing had re-opened I was on the last train out on Superman. Looked over and saw Batwing cycling with only 2 ride operators on the train. So it couldn't have been that busy, or they wouldn't have had the line cleared out by 7:00. Voodoo Drop was a walk on the entire time I was in the park. Of the 6 times I rode it, I never had to wait more than one ride cycle (if that.) Aside from Ragin Cajun, the water rides (which of course are going to have longer lines given how hot it was...) and the fact that Mind Eraser has that stupid VR crap going on which causes awfully long lines... While I was in the park everything else was basically a walk on. Trust me on that. You got lucky. Trust me. Wild One's line was in the third row of the queue. Both times. Suoerman, down the stairs. Batwing down the stairs. Drop tower, about a 7 cycle wait. Just saying 'everything' was not a 'walk on'....for me. I was there between 1:50-6:45. My daughter was waiting in line when Batwing broke down with people stuck in the down position. Before it broke, I had time to wait in a food line (lol,. u all can figure out how long that probably was), and she still hadn't gotten on.

Agreed! There has been an A team on Wild One all season thus far. Jenna is the lady who runs the flyers. She is awesome and quick. Will be mentioning on the survey.

Lol,..Wild One, RC, Batwing, and Superman were no where near walk one. Trust me on that. The Rapids, Penguin, drop tower, Fireball, the boat, and Mind Eraser had enormous lines on Sat.

Nope, I'll try to find the press release from the PR person. Definitely will not be July. No park in history, from what I know, has opened a new ride in July.

Opening Mid May

Yes, you are playing with fire with that stretch of road. Leave early, and you'll be ok

Very surprised. Might not be ready.

Let me start a little conspiracy theory. SFA rigged the JJ to stall to get publicity. The park was very full today. More than I've ever seen for spring break. Thank goodness for the two trains. Of course I'm joking, no pun intended, about the theory. Had to put that out there. I know how some take things a LIL to seriously..lol

Does Poltergeist ever have issues?? I know both of the Mr.Freezes had issues in the beginning, but aren't LIMs pretty reliable in general?? It depends on the coaster. Batman and Robin: The Chiller had the worst. The ride barely opened. With bad operations at Six Flags America, Joker Jinx could face the wrecking ball if these problems continue. Well I did read that (for the time being) JJ will be closed for safety inspection. But yeah, if something like this happens again, it could be . . . hasta la vista Joker's Jinx. And yeah, operations can be bad (waits for food, rides taking too long to dispatch) Not this year. Dispatches have been very fast. Less than 1 minute. Food waits are horrible. Worst I've seen.
