To say the least.

I'm happy to hear this. Good results there could mean HITP next year down here.

Yeah, talking about how many would not just come out, but stay. Pretty cold this weekend.

Pretty happy that they are going to renovate the water park bathrooms.

This weekend will be a good test, since it will be cold.

Oh! Didn't even read the post properly.

I give up. What's this about?

Most of the year, food service is slow.

Outrageous. The park is open to 9, right? Those people aren't going to get much in by the time they enter.

You are right, but it depends on what is considered a short wait to each. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I had some 45 minute waits when it got dark. Some 30. Walk-ons early in the day though.

Great! Hopefully they will try it at SFA after the big success at GA.

Great news indeed.

That's why. The "insane" ejector airtime on the first drop is back row only. That's where the true experience is I'll remember that for next time.

It depends on when you go in the summer. On a weekend it will probably be needed. You could probably get away without it on a weekday if there are no major events scheduled that day like a concert. If you can go to the park in June on a weekday, that would probably be the best if you pick a day they are open until 9 (usually starting the 3rd week of June). School groups leave by 4 - 5 and it's usually walk ons the rest of the day. That's what I'll do then! I was actually aiming for June.

Thanks! Actually I rode in front.

This event is awesome. As this is my first time at this park, I'm inclined to do a 'partial' trip report (nothing very thorough for now); sometimes coasters run different in the cold, operations, look of the park in full bloom, regular shows, etc., etc. Once again, I repeat, partial No hard feelings in here. I can't wait to finally try the park next summer with everything open. My daughter and my mom were with me. SFGadv seems superior to every other SF I have visited so far though. I couldn't get my eyes off of Kingda Ka over there, or El Toro. I can't wait to ride those. Coasters: Nitro (9/10)- I'm a fan of smooth rides, and this one did not disappoint. I was quite thrilled throughout the ride. I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere halfway through. For coasters like these, I do prefer a serious bank at the bottom. The turn doesn't have to be as devastating as the Intimidator at KD (not that I mine), but something exhilarating like the S:ROS at SFA is good. No complaints though. I need to ride up front the next time I go. Skull Mountain (5/10)- Probably going to piss some people off with this rating, but I'll be passing the next time I go. It was boring ride to me. Dark Knight (6/10)- Blah, it was OK. The blind drops were good, but probably will be passing next time. I can tell the wait times are bad in the summer. Green Lantern (7/10)- I hear CoasterBill on this one. Apocalyse, but longer. I got annihilated on GL. Why 7/10 even though my ears got destroyed? It still hauled. The ride itself was good. Superman (9/10)- Oh yeah, I like this one. I've only been on one other flying coaster (Batwing). I like the Batwing too, but it tends to put some pressure on my chest which is uncomfortable. Loading seemed faster on Superman too. Batman (10/10)- I'm a fan of SLCs. Put it this way, I like the Mind Eraser (most do not). This one may be taking the #2 spot in my list for favorite coasters currently held by Alpengeist. Admittedly, I was surprised that I like this one so much. Was a little dizzy afterwards though, which has never happened to me on any ride; even the Fireballs. Operations/waits: No real complaints. When we first got there, we waited no more than 10 minutes for each ride. We had 30-45 minute waits as the sun started to go down. One train ops on most, obviously. Honestly, I wasn't real crazy about some of the employees. I've been spoiled by SFA and SFOG (I won't even input Disney here. Will not be fair.. )on which I've always have had a superb experience. Maybe it was the MD Terrapins hoodie I was wearing For the first time, I have to come down on the ratings for the employees and walk-around characters (the email survey). My daughter likes everyone, but had a pretty bad experience by one of the walk-arounds (Sylvester)..lol.. Like I said, spoiled by SFA. As for food, I see that SF is slow in every park with SFA being the absolute slowest. So far SFOT has the crown for being the fastest and they were slow too. I'm comparing all of this to KD, Disney, and BG. Parking: Hmm, good enough. Holiday in the Park: A resounding 10! The attention to detail was superb. No other way to put it. The light displays (especially the tree show), the shows, and the placement of props were masterfully done. I've actually contemplated going back up there one more time before the season is over. I really hope that this is a huge success. I need them to do this at SFA next year (3 miles away). Everyone needs to attend this event. The 2h 45 minute drive was well worth it. Maybe someone can fill me in, but let me guess, I will need to get a flash pass in the summer? So far, Cedar Point was the only place where the pass was absolutely necessary for purchase. Again! All of this may change a bit after I go next year. We'll see. I have a nice line-up next year: SFMM, SFGadv, SFOG, Disney, KD, Hershey, maybe Cedar Point, I always go to SFA, and possibly Universal in Florida.

Yup. Been nice to go today then. I had 40-45 minute waits on Friday.

I had a great time. Attention to detail was magnificent. I'm going to do a partial trip report later on what I thought about HITP and the park itself. Like I said, a partial report on the park. It was my first time going. I can't wait to see it in the summer next year.

That's actually not true. I called Six Flags Over Texas and asked and they said I must wait for Six Flags America to open back up which means my trip to Texas this winter is now canceled. Not to mention I live in NC. I happened to be in the DC area and grabbed a season pass membership while on vacation, never expecting I was going to have my wallet stolen. Now I am paying a monthly membership fee and no way to replace my card unless I plan another vacation to Washington DC. Ok, this is what I found out. My friend doesn't work in the season pass place, but knows a little. Checked on the mobile app thing; because SFA doesn't use biometrics, using the app will not work. Still, what you can do is call SFA. Tell them what happened. Once you give them your info (membership number, name, etc), they can make you another one, then they can send it to you in the mail. Lol, if they don't mail, I'll get it for you.

I tried to get the meal pass up there. They couldn't do it because my pass is from SFA. Weird. I bet money that you could call SF or SFA to get something figured out. They keep the pics in the system. Maybe they can make you another, then send it to you. People work there during the winter. I know someone personally; owns the turkey leg place.

Going to SFGAdv for the first time today. Looking forward to it. Oh, yes they will replace your season pass.

Yeah, I'm going to set aside a weekday to do that. Already looking forward to it.

I'm looking forward to checking this out today. It's funny, after all of these years, I've never been to SFGAdv. I frequent a great many parks where I'm at and below (SF America, Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens, Hershey Park, SFOG, SFOT, Disney, etc, etc) This event has me intrigued so much that I'm going to take the 2h 45 min trip to check it out. Hopefully, the event pulls in big enough money where they give it a shot down here at SFA next year. I wish more of the coasters were open, but I guess you can't have everything. I want to see first hand what's so bad about Green Lantern. It can't be any worse than Apocalypse down here.

I like Roar, especially at night. That being said, RMC it already!
