I trust that Dr. D is a massive upgrade but my preference is for something on the Order of Superman or bigger…..all air time….I don’t need inversions just huge drop and lots of huge hills…..

I would prefer a massive ride on the other side of the road in the massive parking lot they own…..I’d wait a couple years for that…..they have a big property there and could build a garage to compensate…..

Nice day today at the park…..first trip this season and weather was great and crowds were manageable……we live close enough and pay enough monthly that getting there for opening isn’t a thing so we arrived 3:30 and stayed to close…..got 2 rides each on Supe, WC, Pandemonium, Riddler, and Batman……daughter got an additional solo ride on Supe to finish it off…..everything was running great…..some short downtime in several of those rides but nothing major…..only thing to complain about is the new arrangement at Pandemonium……FP riders get merged with regular riders too early and you end up waiting 15 to 30 minutes to get on…..that’s like the opposite of what FP is for…..anyway was good to get on Supe…..hadn’t ridden since September 2019…..pre COVID….jesus

Maybe - we’ll see when I get there before opening tomorrow - but that’s not the point is it? It matters that what I pay should match the expectation of services they sell…..and with this change it totally doesn’t……Ken? That’s not even my name….

So far my search of the SFNE website is hush hush on the topic........I'll have to deal tomorrow morning when I get there.......

Except its not a mild inconvenience - is 90 minutes a mild inconvenience to you?.........I pay a lot per month to be able to have the flexibility I want to show up when I want for a few hours and not pay for anything.......I don't want to waste 90 minutes in line to get the wristband when others getting the same thing can just do the whole thing on their phone - its BS......and don't age hate......I pay for the same thing people are now getting while they walk into the park using their phones......its the same damn thing but with improved access now granted to a subset of those buying it........where that didn't exist before......its totally devalued in that those people now have the time I am going to spend securing our wristbands to ride rides - while I will not.......riding rides is the point dude........all that devalues what I am paying for which is why I suggested they discount mine until they get it set up........thats reasonable to ask........

Its literally nothing like that but OK guy.......you're doing it wrong when you don't enable a feature for everyone who is buying that thing........that instantly devalued what I am paying for if I am on the outside looking in......unless they discount or suspend payments on that thing I am buying - which of course they won't.......and thats irritating AF.......they're doing it wrong and you support it - real nice

No….it’s easy…I pay them money for the season flash pass….I shouldn’t then be boned when I arrive at the park and have to wait 90 minutes to get that flash pass when some shmuck off the road can buy a day flash pass and be ready to go on his phone in 5 minutes…..you have an argument why that’s totally fine?

I’m not convinced….we know they have this up and running for people who buy the one day flash pass…..it’s bullshit they also didn’t boot up the people who pay monthly for the season flash pass to do the same…..that’s what I found out a couple weeks ago when I went…..no reason they couldn’t fire up both at the same time….like you’re collecting my money….why are you fucking me up my ass so hard though….

Going Monday…..did they figure out the season flash pass on your phone thing yet? Some poor manager is gonna get an earful if not when I go there Monday morning….that’s some bullshit….

Pretty terrible visit today…..not impressed with the wait at flash pass office to secure my season flash pass that I pay a lot for every month so we opted to just wait in the infuriating separate line for our skip the line passes and when I asked the guy why my season flash pass isn’t available on the app thing they love to now tout everywhere he said “I know it’s weird - they haven’t added season FP people yet…… FFS….what a disaster….I said it before - they’re doing something wrong if they have an app for a daily flash pass but just forgot about the season FP holders…..come on…..so we opted for our skip the line passes only without waiting in the 2 hour FP line….. Later my kid and his friend got stuck on catwoman after boarding and I happen to be at the exit waiting for them when one of the Leadership Team showed up - after maintenance was called - and I asked her what happens if my kids used skip the line passes to get and now have to get off……she gave us 4 anytime passes for use on any ride the whole season And each gets four people max on a ride….so that was the only bright spot…. Mostly I’m fine going to SFNE….have a good time usually but the crowds today and the inability of SFNE to manage the crowds especially For customers who pay a lot per Month to not wait around in lines made it a very bad day…. do better six flags

They’re doing something wrong if they can’t get it to work regardless if it’s a day purchase or a season long pass…..it’s literally the same system….I mean how can it not be….. On a side note I was told last week when we went that they are selling single skip the line passes now for $19.99 a piece…..lol….combined with the separate line they have now for skip the line passes the line to get them now backs up a ways up the hill….so that really sucks if you are a member that needs to pick up your skips and your FP….Tonight I had the kids wait in the STL line whil I waited in the FP line…..I mean I get it….selling single STL passes is another - probably pretty lucrative - revenue stream but you can’t screw already paying members and make them wait in line like that…..they need to modify that….IDK maybe make it all phone based - man that would be genius lol On a side note….Supergirl got stuck tonight at the end of the night with a few guests in the one side facing straight down lol…..they slowly lowered it down eventually and got them off…..IDK….we haven’t ridden it yet

Wait…..we have the season flash pass and never knew they’ve activated the system for phones…..is this real? It’s so dumb to wait in some 45 minute line to get the FP….totally defeats the purpose…..

Went for 3 hours yesterday and got in 2 TB....1 Panda, and 2 WC.....had a blast for the short time we were there..... Interesting on the first WC ride the train almost stalled halfway up the lift hill.....just crawled for about 7 or 8 seconds then it finally went normal the rest of the way up.....anybody have this happen? I never have and I’ve ridden that thing a bunch of times.....second time didn’t do it

So chatted with corporate.....if they’re to be believed then paused memberships will restart May 15 when the park reopens officially.....this won’t impact paused members from making reservations now.....haven’t tried yet but we’ll see.....thrilled we made it.....last time we were at the park was New Year’s Day 2020.....crazy
