Preferred parking is right by the entrance at SFSTL. I just wondered how you get the paper to get you in. Thanks. -

Can anyone explain how preferred parking works? I bought the 2024 Diamond Pass but I can't find any additional information about how to use it. -

No Mr. Freeze today. The train is in the valley. How long dues that usually shut it down for? -

August 30 is also going to be the day they announce “an incredible, UNBELIEVABLE new attraction for the 2019 season.” I’m guessing it will be Excalibur or Colossus actually working in 2019. -

Is there a minimum temperature required for them to open? Sunday's high is only supposed to be around 15 degrees. I can't imagine riding anything in those conditions. -

No line at JB's and we got our food quickly. They also had ice in the Freestyle machine and a full selection of flavors. This was right after it started raining. HITP is so much more enjoyable than FF. FF has become so huge that it's just not enjoyable anymore for someone with younger kids. Today was great and one kid got to ride Batman for the first time while my youngest got to ride Ninja and American Thunder for the first time. Very happy that they've added this to the calendar. -

The park was open from noon until 6 both days. There were still a bunch of skeletons around which my 5 year old had fun finding but I wouldn't call it a Fright Fest weekend. All of the water was clear in the fountains and the traditional flags were flying by highway. -

1:00 - 5:00 for lunch. 1:00 - 9:00 for snack 5:00 - 9:00 for dinner. They're not open until 6:00 tonight. Lots of annoyed people waiting to order at 6. -

When I bought mine Saturrday, the lady selling them said another guest had already done that in Chicago. -

My family and I went out there Friday and it seemed like a large number of rides were either not operating or operating at less than full capacity (which seems like it would cause longer lines at rides that were open. Thunder River and Excalubur were both closed in addition to Superman (glad to hear that may finally open). The log flume only had one side open and had a fairly long wait as a result. I don't understand why they don't operate both sides on a busy holiday weekend? We also noticed a large amount of trash inside the grassy area of the ride. The fireworks were great and one of the operators at Pandemonium will be getting a special mention in my survey for going out of the way to help us. -

If you read the sign outside JLBFM they're calling it a "Technical Rehearsal" They told us once you're at the emergency exit inside, the wait would be about 20 minutes. It took twice as long and they were clearly having problems but the ride was a blast. Glad we got in line around 11:40 because we wouldn't have waited 3 hours. I think a little patience on everyone's part is needed as they figure out the bugs and hopefully get them worked out soon. Also, a special thanks to Robert K. In security. Really helped me out and then recognized me and followed up the next day when he saw me walking around the park. -

I have no new info on Marvin, the Mechanics will get the ride open as soon as they get the parts. I don't know specifics on Ranger Pilots (rides in Bugs Bunny National Park aren't in my area and having a full time job elsewhere makes it hard to keep up with things at the park) but it should reopen ASAP. Same thing applies to Tugboat Tailspin and Superman. While we're asking, what about Highland Fling? Same story? I was there the day it was supposed to reopen but I don't think it ever did that day and it was still closed today. -

Can someone pass along information about how the VIP Early Entry works for Gold Pass Holders? I see it on the website as a benefit but it doesn't say when it applies or how to use it. -

The 5 minute walk when there is no line is how I get my exercise. Seriously, there is no need for all of the winding around at the beginning when the line, as far as I know, never even comes close to reaching that long. A shorter, more direct line to the ride would be great. -

Actually, it's not. It's spelled out very clearly on the website before you ever click anything that would allow you to purchase the passes. It's the same deal they offer all Fall - buy 4 to get the free gold upgrade. They don't have to offer the extras and you complain when they do? Some people clearly can't be pleased by anything Six Flags does... Here's what is on the pass purchase page and it seems very clear to me: Bonus Offer: Get a FREE upgrade to our exclusive Gold Level and FREE season parking when you buy at least four Season Passes now and process at the park by April 26. -

Do they ever let the line get that long? They only let enough people on the tower to get to the split. The line yesterday was out past the flash pass entrance and up towards the other queue line. I wonder if the line wouldn't seem so bad if people could wait on the stairs instead of watching the swampland that's created by the leaky slides. I know once I hit the tower it won't take long at all but winding around on the concrete takes entirely too long. -

Until they allow the riders at the top to start going down the slide before the prior riders reach the bottom, it doesn't matter. The OP at the top of the ride is consistently waiting for the people at the bottom to clear the ride before sending them down. I understand being safe but this seems like overkill on this ride.
