Sorry for the double post but apparently the park has added a one day dining plan option.

I voted for "They're Awesome" just to be sarcastic but was surprised to find 6 other people that agreed with me.
I just became #8.
I would drive thousands of miles just to ride a Pinfari Coaster. Kings Dominion used to have one called "THE GALAXI" when they first opened up their doors and I first rode it in 1978, my first visit to the park. If the lines weren't too long I would do marathons on that coaster. I remember other parks having that type of coaster; such as Busch Gardens, Magic Harbor, and Indiana Beach.
But sadly that type of coaster is starting to become an endangered species with two parks that I know still operate a Pinfari coaster: Adventureland U.S.A. in Maryland, and Morey's Pier in New Jersey. Whenever I hear of any park getting rid of their Pinfari coasters I feel like .
The adventure park USA coaster is a schwarzkopf

Looks like our chances of getting V2 are diminishing by the day.

They have a decent amount of land where the old water balloons game and tennis ball game were.
I can't recall where the water balloons and tennis ball games were?
But if I could think of a coaster to build at SFA . . . . I'd have a B&M Hyper . . . . 2 trains (red/white, black/gold) . . . . 263.2 feet high
Sadly this can't be a reality because we are stuck with a boring intamin hyper

Do they have flying aces? If not, that gets my vote.
I'm assuming you are talking about a Larson Flyer? If so, yes, they have one.
I think he's talking about the Junior SLC like at Carowinds and Kings Island.

Somebody could be getting the first Unicoaster. On the webpage for that ride, they said they sold the first one.

Is Hershey's manufactured by KMG or someone else?

I'm surprised no one said Ride of Steel. You hit the brake run right after an airtime hill. And your coming in at a decent speed.

The park posted a teaser with a phone number attached and when you call it gives you a corny semi-teaser.
Here's the number: 210-697-5478

^ I am 100% with you. I hate carnivals. When I visit them I ride the scrambler and maybe a UFO but never the huge rides like that because of the possibility of something like that happening. Prayers to the people involved.

For all the LGBTQ folks/Anyone who would care to attend, here is the info for pride night at SFA.

Hi everyone,
I'll be headed to six flags america soon on a weekday for a few hours. I had a few questions to make sure I was making the most of my time there.
1. What is the best plan of attack for hitting all the coasters in the shortest amount of time? I will not be arriving at opening.
2. Are there any flat rides that are worth hitting up? I haven't looked much into the flat lineup here but it seems like there are some cool rides.
3. What is the best place to eat? I'm looking for somewhere fast with quick lines.
4. Any other general tips that I should know about?
Thanks, all help is appreciated. I tried looking back 10 pages or so and I didn't see anyone ask these questions in a while so I am sorry if it has been answered recently.
Thanks in advance!
1. You probably won't encounter a line longer than 10 minutes for anything on a weekday unless you plan on a water park visit.
2. Wonder Woman, Rodeo, French Quarter Flyers, and the Rapids ride are all pretty solid flats.
3. My personal faves are Crazy Horse Saloon, Chop Six, and Gator Mcgees. Gator Mcgees Jambalaya is really good but you have to ask for it because it's not on the menu.
4. If you are a water park person, you should definitely do the one here. Don't waste your time on the drop tower. Ride front row on Mind Eraser and Apocalypse because other wise it's not as good. Lastly, Have fun and post a TR.

It would make more sense to remove Scream because there are several parks in the chain that could definitely use it. Viper on the other hand would probably just get scrapped.
-
Yes they looked like those.
-
Does anyone know if either of the wooden coasters had patriotic trains?
From Wild One's break run I saw some trains that kinda looked like the new articulated ptc trains.
-
What's the program on the new star flyer? Does it go up, come halfway down and then back up before ending like GreatAdv's? Or does it just go all the way up and come all the way down?
It does the great adventure cycle.

Just guessing, but I immediately thought of a Cyclone closing announcement when I saw this. SFNE pretty much did the same thing and did an early morning announcement. Especially with all the markers on the ride I would bet on them announcing it's closure tomorrow.

That's really exciting! Is Atlanta on the Eastern time zone?
Yes.

Visited the park today to get my first ride on Lasso of Truth and all I can say is wow. Every park needs one of these rides. Definitely one of the better additions to the park.
Also while I was in the park I noticed that they ditched the tubes on Mako and Hammerhead and now they are being used as body slides.

Is anyone else visiting the park today?
