John Knotts Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Technically, there is! But no one is going to tell you that. then there isnt one. The only single rider thing i get is after your on the stairs sometimes they will call for single people to balance the car. But since they wernt running balanced it wasnt an issue and therefore didnt get me special treatment. Um...that's what a single riders line is, at least at SFMM. You wait by the exit stairs until a single rider is needed. Obviously the wait varies depending on what is needed, just like Deja Vu's. However my friends and I got several rides on GL in less than an hour.
buckaroo234 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 they arent letting that happen anymore, i tried. You have to wait in the full line, then at the bottom of the lines stairs and wait to be called.

BlueFireCoaster Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 ^What is wrong with having a single rider line coming up the exit to fill up the cars? Just as fair as a Flash Pass, IMO.
RocketJet94 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 A single rider line is a horrible idea for a low capacity ride like Green Lantern...it slows down the line significantly while gaining a large single rider line with guests hoping to get on ASAP. Single Rider lines or rides like Riddler's Revenge makes sense as it is not in the open where everyone see it and obviously is aware of its location...this it never gets to crazy and doesnt slow down the line. FLashpass slows lines down enough as it is!!
Mechanic Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 ^ Exactly. Taking a single rider from the normal queue is far more fair. A dedicated single riders line is one thing, but just hanging around the exit of a ride that doesn't have a dedicated single rider line and hoping to get in front of someone that waited through the regular queue is just wrong in my view. Flashpass is a separate topic.
atem122 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 If it had a dedicated single rider line, it wouldn't slow down operations at all. They have the cars pre-grouped before they open the gates, so they could easily allow someone from the single rider line to enter while the next train is grouped, but not yet boarding. Methinks they should get on that.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 ^True, but it's kinda hard to incorporate that kind of thing into a ride after opening.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 ^Hope you have a great time if you can make it. I haven't been mysefl since WCB. I really want to check out GL, but with summer being in full swing, it's hard to find spare time. Hope to get there some time in the fall.
RocketJet94 Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 I want to go back so bad!! I probobly wont until the very end of August or early September
buckaroo234 Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 I may be going there in 2 weeks! If your going on GL and your male, wear a cup. Trust me. Even if you just wear it for the one ride, you will thank me later.
atem122 Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 ^IDK if a cup will save you, but completely agreed. I haven't been able to make 1 baby since I've been on that ride.
RocketJet94 Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 When should we see Thrill Shot begin to come down?
John Knotts Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Seems like more things will be coming out of SFMM this fall than going in!
JJ728 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 ^Those trims after the first loop and batwing sound lethal even in the video. Great footage as usual!
Zeppelinfreak Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I know this is off topic, but has SFMM announced the Fright Fest mazes for this year?
Sir Clinksalot Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 ^ Haven't seen anything yet, but they did announce auditions on their FB page today.
Zeppelinfreak Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 ^Thanks. Because I got a coupon saying they are having 13 mazes and scare zones including 2 all new mazes.
RocketJet94 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 What do you mean? The Deja Vu thing is just rumours. All we really know is that Thrill Shot is going Bye Bye:)
Wes Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Looking more and more like Deja Vu is heading east: http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2011/08/six_flags_working_to_add_a_new.html
daveydo5172 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Why is the caption under the pic, at that link, a "republican file"? What the hell is a "republican file"?...hmmm, says a 2004 republican file photo...I get it now...just very odd!
RocketJet94 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 ahaha that is funny:) but with fright festthis year, someone at Planet Six said that Colossus may not be going backwards this year, is this true?
