SFMMGeek27 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I for one agree with their business standpoint. Why spend extra $ on stuff that won't bring extra people to the park? On the other hand, they should do stuff that costs them very little or nothing that would help improve the guest experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I was at the park today and it was packed. Every non-kiddie coaster had a full (or nearly full) queue except Gold Rusher, and several were spilling into temporary queues (namely Full Throttle, Green Lantern, Goliath, Superman, and Tatsu). They even extended the park operating hours due to the crowds. I don't know if this is normal crowds for winter break, but if it is I would strongly advise anyone planning to visit in the next couple weeks to purchase a Flash Pass if getting all the coasters is a priority. Also note that Ninja only has one train due to maintenance and X2, Sky Tower, and the three water rides will all be closed until March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 The day before X-mas and weekend after are always INSANE at every park that is open. Everyone is with their visiting families (or visiting themselves) and needs something to do after the actual holiday celebrations. Probably felt extra crowded with those rides down (those people who would normally be in line for X2, Tidal Wave, Jet Stream, Roaring Rapids, or up in the Sky Tower have to go somewhere!).

SFMMGeek27 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 The reason why it was so busy yesterday and why it will be so busy today Is because the park sent out free friend tickets to many season pass holders via email that could be used yesterday or today. And we know what happens anytime there is a free friend ticket.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTown661 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Heading to Six Six Six flags in a couple hours to while the remainder of the day away. Perhaps I will try Tapatalk if Cyper-Cafe is offering a Wi-Fi signal. Seems like longest line should be season pass, but today I have nothing but time on my side as I have no agenda. Maybe I shall do the rides of yesteryear like Buccaneer, Carousal, Swashbuckler, and of course Gold Rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazydude Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Spending Christmas Eve in a park with at least 15 coasters operating could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. M Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Roller coasters don't snuggles. Doing anything to "while the remainder of the day away" does not sound like a recipe for a happy holiday... =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someotherguyuser Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I'll probably go to the park on Friday. That's going to be my last day I visit before I let my pass expire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Merry Christmas to all on this my favorite thread which is about my favorite park - MM. No rides today , but I'll be there tomorrow. I didn't get to the park until 3:30 after flying in from South Florida to spend my holidays here. The park wasn't too bad. I didn't get to ride my fav Goliath or YOLO. Both had waits of over 1 hour. Nice to see "Pocky" running 2 trains again. The #2 train delivers the best ride. Also 2 trains on Scream and Riddler. Only 1 train on Goldrusher and Ninja, but still not much of a line. I'll definitely be back tomorrow for more! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND ENJOY THE RIDE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koasterking48 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 ^ Please, for the love of God, do not call Apocalypse "Pocky." Roller coaster nicknames like "Millie," Tattie," etc. are one of the most irritating things ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTown661 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Had a great day yesterday. Stayed at park a cpl hours had to skip swashbuckler but rode scrambler in its place. Looks like the small size for photos on Tapatalk is rather small so will try next size for these leftover shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaG Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 By the way, SFMM's new coaster is nothing to be excited about. It's a cookie-cutter kiddie coaster like this one, according to RCDB- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Kiddie coasters are never anything to be excited about. If that is really the coaster they are getting, I doubt adults will even be able to ride without a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArizonaGuy Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I think SFMM is just going to go basic and call this new one "Kiddee Coaster" considering they haven't named it yet.....why not go with the obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
