PeoplemoverMatt Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 But the larger point is that the advertisments are helping the greater financial picture, and that's a good thing for all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 24 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hey guys! Im heading to 'the Mountain' tomarrow. Im gonna see if this whole free water thing is true. Its going to be mad hot over there! --Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterking2981 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I would suggest getting fastpasses. Waiting for over an hour in tomorrow's heat will not be worth it unless you had a fastpass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Id reccomend definitley not getting Flashpass unless you deem necessary while in the park. On weekdays this time of year parks are normally dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atem122 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I don't think there's a new soundtrack... there wasnt on Tuesday at least. ^Edit: Also remember that a lot of kids are already in school. The place was empty Tuesday, Friday should be a bit more heavy, but not enough to warrant buying a flash pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAL Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 The park was dead on Tues. I'd wait on the Flashpass. We saw a few poor souls who'd bought them - they were absolutely no use. Â Please post up and let us know what Friday is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 About the advertising...I understand bringing in revenue, and some advertising is reasonable and to be expected. But when the place starts looking like the trashy part of town with billboards and posters plastered all over and everywhere you look is yet another ad, it takes away from the experience. Â I think most people go to theme parks to get away from their hum-drum daily routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoasters Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Brent, I heard it was the Aquabats and Everlast. What a weird combination. Is that true?Chris. Â It was Everclear. I didn't see the Aquabats because I've never heard of them, but my girlfriend happens to love Everclear, so I was forced to watch that one.

metrock Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 ^ It was originally going to be Lit & Everclear. I was set to go because I like both bands. It was then changed after Lit canceled a bunch of shows this summer after their drummer, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor last year, became sicker. He ended up dying on Aug 13. Â I never did make the concert to see Everclear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 24 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Hey everyone! I just came home right now from the Mountain. It was mostly empty throughout the day but closed at 6:00 due to a private party going on at the park...it looked like a huge party because there was a bigger crowd coming in than what Ive seen all day! It wasn't even as hot as I thought it would be, but really smokey the first half of the day because of the L.A fires. Eventually the smoke was gone by around 4:30 I was able to get free water from the Cyber Cafe just in case anyone was wondering .Oh yeah and by the way...all rides has 5-20 minute wait times! Enough talk and now on to the rides...started the day with Revolution-1 train running. Next was Tatsu..went on twice-2 trains running,left station open only. Went down the hill to Terminator..went on 3 times without seeing the preshows once-2 trains running. Rode Deja Vu only once even though the line was short. Riddler's was next which I went on twice. Batman was next..also rode twice. Scream! was a walk on of all the 3 times I went on it. Then I rode on Collossus only once in the front row for the first time and it was acually the smoothest ride I ever had on it! Rode Goliath 3 times..best crew as usual. Headed up Samari Summit and rode Ninja twice..HII-YAA!! After that, I rode Superman-The Escape 3 times. Headed back down the hill towards Viper and rode it 3 times (Wow...thats alot of 3's). And finally to end my day...4 times on X2! That final Raven turn is a killer . My legs were getting tossed around like a rag doll, but it was worth it. I ate at the Mooseburger Lounge before I left, just as a horde of peole were coming in for that priviate event mentioned earlier. I had a good day overall. Please mind this is my first TR...so please dont be harsh. Thanks! --Andy  p.s--has anyone else notices that the red Six Flags sign above the ticket booths now has Magic Montain & Hurricane Harbor under it where it used to have California before they removed it?[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GivenOneChance Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Has anyone here gone to one of those Season Pass Appreciation days? Â The next one is supposed to be Sept 11, 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I can't remember when the last one was---or if there ever was one. But I did get an e-mail about the one on September 11, and I just might show up there. Â At one time, SFMM had special passholder days for new attractions, but the last one I remember was for Superman---The Escape. Â Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroG001 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I have a question for season pass holders. One of my friends has a play pass, and we plan on using one of the free tickets that comes in the coupon book on Monday, the 31st. He says that he also has coupons in there for $10 admission and $25 admission. Can we use those coupons along with the free ticket on the same day, or no?

SharkTums Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Yes you can, because you'll use the coupon book at the ticket booths to get the discounted ticket, and then the free friend coupon directly at the turnstiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroG001 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Alright, thanks for the information. Â EDIT: For the coke can deal, can you use any can of coke, or only the cans that have the ads that say you can use it at SFMM to buy one ticket, get one free?

rawrtotheargh Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 At one time, SFMM had special passholder days for new attractions, but the last one I remember was for Superman---The Escape. Eric  That's probably because play passes are so cheap and almost everyone has one. Back then Season Pass holders most likely much lower in number. Imagine how many people would show up if that did that now with the Play Pass deal. They should do something for Extreme Pass holders. Since they limit the number of those being sold. Like how Sea World used to do Passport Previews but Fun Card members were not allowed to attend. At least for Journey To Atlantis here in SeaWorld San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
