Satans Hockey

I'm looking to come up next weekend and do all Saturday and Sunday (16th and 17th) how will the crowds be? Id rather not get a flash pass. I've never been to this park before but from reading some of the the past few pages it seems superman and wicked cyclone are the two I should hit up first. I'm really surprised you can't pick your own row. I'll deal but I like to try to ride front/back row on every ride for my first two times on them.

Well I was going to take my chances tomorrow but you guys have me leaning towards no now lol I might just wait and see how bad it actually is tomorrow when I get up. I want an empty park after dealing with the crowds at six flags over Texas last weekend. How bad do you think Sunday will be crowd wise?

For what it's worth, I'm staying right across the freeway from Batman / Mr. Freeze, and I can already hear both of them running right now. EDIT: Looking at a flier I was given yesterday, there's ERT at the park for pass holders from 9am to 10am on both the 2nd and the 3rd. Thanks! I got here a little after 10 but they hadn't opened the side of the park to get to the Texas giant yet. This is my only priority today so if it's all I get on I'll be happy since I'm only staying for a few hours.

Didn't know that and don't recall anyone mentioning it on the ride, it was the first ride I got on and I got on it almost immediately so I probably just missed the sign. I was actually confused because I thought you had to sign up and come back like the website says to go at your designated time so that's why I hauled over there first cause I wanted to at least try it out. I don't think even with the blur fixed I would have enjoyed it, it was a cool as a once off but I wouldn't ever ride it again.

See if you can get in early. I showed up yesterday around 9am thinking I'd get breakfast and camp out, but some of the rides were already running with people on them — 1.5 hours ahead of opening. Also, I wasn't into the VR experience either (there's a dial on the top to fix the blur), but Shock Wave wasn't that great even without the headset — and I'm a Schwarzkopf fan. I'd get more rides on Giant if possible, but I also really enjoyed Judge Roy Scream. I'll write up a full report once I'm back home. Thanks! I forgot to mention that, I got there at like 10am expecting to be lined up at the gate for opening and it was already open like you said, I wasn't expecting that whatsoever and didn't see anywhere online that mentioned it

I was expecting it to be crowded but had no idea how abysmal the lines would be. I waited 2 hours for the bobsled ride. Also waited 2 hours for justice League cause it kept breaking down, literally broke down as I got on to the ride then they made us get off then when we were the first ones to get back on it broke down halfway through the ride and we were in there for another 15 mins. Absolutely ruined the ride for me. I did manage to get on a decent amount considering I the crowds and the fact I didn't get a flash pass. Did... The virtual reality coaster Mr freeze Aquaman Justice league Bobsled Log flume Runaway mountain Jolly roger Yosemite Sams river ride (needed a break from the long lines lol) And closed the night out with the very last ride on Titan since we were able to get in the line before they closed it. I'm only down here for a few days and the park is only open yesterday and today so I had to deal with the crowds instead of just leaving, probably should have gotten a flash pass but I can never justify giving six flags more money for a system I don't agree with. My home Park is Great Adventure, I really liked the theming in this park where at least all the superhero rides are pretty much in one section. I thought the park looked beautiful. Something happened that I've never seen before while waiting for Mr freeze, apparently a little kid tried to hold in it but couldn't and ended up popping literally all over the queue (I guess his parents picked him and tried to walk him out quick, idk) the park employees took way too long to come and actually clean it up, I know it's a horrendous job but come on ya just can't leave it there for as long as they did. I really liked how this park has the picture pass scanners at each photo booth so you don't even have to ask the photo attendant to put the picture on your picture pass card. I wish Great Adventure would add this feature, we only have those at the main photo booth. I was able to get on the very last ride on Titan, they let everyone who was on the line get on and we didn't get out of there until almost 10:40. The ride operator fooled everyone into thinking we would get 1 re-ride since we were the last car and the reactions to his joke were hilarious lol this might have been my favorite ride in the park so far. All in all it was very hard to justify waiting on the lines we did but I still enjoyed a lot of the rides. I thought the virtual reality coaster was horrible, it looked blurry and the graphics were terrible, looked like a ps1 game as another poster said on another forum. I think I would have enjoyed the ride better without it. If they are gonna make this a permanent thing the graphics need to be vastly improved. I'm going back for a few hours in the morning just to get on the Texas giant and maybe ride shock wave without the stupid virtual reality headset.

You do realize you skipped the best ride in the park? Part of me likes most folks not being aware of the amazing, far superior back car rides on this beast, but why oh why does anyone wait for the front row on El Toro? It's truly baffling to me. It always has SUCH a long long wait but just WHY. Golden Rule of Toro: Once you go back you never go back. I took your advice about skull mountain in the back, that first drop had me completely out of my seat haha

Hey for you guys that work at the park can anyone tell me if guys are allowed to have a well kept short beard and longer hair to work at the park? Or do you have to be completely clean shaven? I tried searching for the correct answer but there is nothing that is really recent. I'm thinking about applying. Thanks in advance!

Went for my first trip with season passes this year with my gf yesterday. I haven't been to the park since 07 or 08 but we decided to get gold passes and gold dining passes plus a picture pass. I was really impressed with how easy everything was, the passes, dining pass and picture pass were all easy to use and worked just like they were suppose to. I thought the park looked great and looked pretty clean. Park wasn't very crowded today so it was a great day. My ride list for the day was Kingda ka front row and back row Nitro front row and then a reride in the back row Zimanjaro Superman front row Skull mountain front row El Toro front row Dark Knight Batman front row Bizzaro front row Runaway mine train I felt bad for the people running El Toro. They were having issues when I was waiting because too many people didn't fit in the seats properly. Runaway mine train we sat in the second row and got banged around way more then I ever expected lol The food lines were run pretty well today and we both did 1 lunch and 2 snacks each. The funnel cakes were fantastic. Something that both my gf and I noticed, why are there no mirrors in any of the bathrooms? We went in a few on different sides of the parks. Is there any reason for this? Just seems odd to not have them. All in all a great first trip and looking forward to going back down on Wednesday. One main issue we had were being on some coasters with people who wouldn't put their cell phones away. On nitro we were in the back row next two two girls and one of them had their phone out for the entire ride. Nobody said anything to them until we went to the photo booth and the girl running the booth wouldn't show them the picture cause their phone was clearly out. She warned them that they could be kicked out but didn't get security or anything. Then on skull mountain someone took out a phone and it ruined the entire ride cause they wouldn't put it away and instead of hearing the music and effects all you heard was the operator over the speaker. They should have kicked the person out and let us re-ride.
