weatherkid17 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Yesterday I went to SFoT. Wasnt too crowded, and everything was open except Mr. Freeze. It was also a nice day out too. Heres what I did the whole day. Batman--Nice ride, but it gets boring, they have it at almost every park! 6/10 Mr Freeze--Nice for looks, but not open No Rating Flashback--Another attack of the clones, smooth though, not too exciting 5/10 Shockwave--AWESOME Schwarzkopf, nice Gs on loops, and a TON of airtime in the back 9/10 Texas Giant--Looks nice, awesome track design, bumpy as he** though. The new cushioned seats helped alot. Nice padding on them! 7/10 Titan--I love the positive G's, maybe more negative G's though. VERY SMOOTH, and the extra helix is the best part! It pulls the most G's on the whole ride! 9.5/10 Runaway Mountain-- A very simple ride, nice compact turns, and very smooth. 7/10 Roaring Rapids-- Pretty good rapids, better than most. Got soaked! 8/10 Judge Roy Scream-- I loved the retracking! Awesome job. Lots of air too Nice view behind the lake of the rest of the park. 7/10 La Vibora--I love bobsleds for some reason. It was really cool. Not fast, but very relaxing. I just couldnt stand the brakes! 6/10 Wildcatter--Nice vekoma freefall action. My favorite flat ride! A little bumpy, but still awesome. 7/10 Rockin Rocket--Cool going upside down, nice new expansion! 4/10 Mine Train--Awesome ride. Sometimes jerky, but a nice track, and great scenery. I love the ending! 5/10 El Aseradero (Flume 1)-- Wow. This flume is way better than the new one. Its awesome how it wraps around the forest, and is pretty fast for the worlds first log flume. 6/10 Superman: Tower of power-- Nice ride, pretty intense ride. Love the launch, and the fall too! 7/10 Now for the photos: (BTW im not in any of them, parents wouldnt let me put any on here! Sorry... But I did have an awesome time! Thanks Six Flags, for the great day. Nice job with the new rides, it adds great theming. Almost forgot the Oil Derrick The helix which makes the ride alot better, and makes alot of people black out More Titan Titan If you ever wondered what the titan looked like under it, here it is. The titan at night And last but not least, Goliath with an extra helix Mr. Freeze, Not open Mine Train Buried in there Worlds First Log Flume El Aserraderro Up, Up, and Away! Yeah...more superman And the superman sized line! Superman: Tower of Power And who could forget the best new ride of all? lol. jk. The Caddo Lake Barge. Another ride, rodeo! Runaway Mountain (Only pic I have, its an indoor coaster) More new rides!! Those turns do look very tempting.. and that fun drop. Note 1999.....but it got like number 10 in 2004, its still decent Texas Giant Lift Hill...at least THATS not bumpy The Texas Giant..I feel the pain just looking at it The new location for El Sombrero Boot scootin, another new ride The new splashgrounds in gotham And more La Vibora Intamin bobsled..fun Thats pretty cool, I didnt know that. And there is the splash The ride that gets you wetter than soaked! A skyline of TX Giant and Titan from Judge Roy Scream The second best ride in the park...yeah right. Its one of the new rides, cloud bouncer Gunslinger (AKA Texas Tornado) And yet more freefall fun Ooh...airtime Intamin Freefall Goodness!

metrock Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Oh, one of my favotrite parks ever. Granted, I have only been there once. But I had some of the most fun I have ever had at theme park. The Texas Giant is my #1 Wooden coaster. That does not say much because all I have been on are the California, Texas and New York wooodies. Anyways some great pictures of the park. Man I cant wait to get back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Wait, Shock Wave is green now?! Anyway, thanks for the pictures. SFOT is my favorite Six Flags park! (Or does that smack of faint praise? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkchan Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Very nice trip report and good pictures! What is the safety system like on Rockin Rocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherkid17 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 the restraint system on rockin rocket is an over the head restraint and a lap bar that comes down really hard! also, I think shockwave was painted green in 2002. the green paint is starting to peel, and it shows some blue paint. and im pretty sure the ride additions are permanent. they dug holes into hills and everything to put these rides in, and put down permanent footpaths, and nice que lines. i think they will be there for a while.

SixFlagsTexas Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Did you get a chance to ride Rodeo? It looks awesome, but I have only heard negative reviews about the ride. I need to get out there before school starts in less than 2 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 It's only part of Triple Play from SFGAm .. it's also part Warp 2000 (SFAW) and part from La Ronde's ... Triple Play is due back next year and yes, all rides are there to stay. Shockwave = Painted in 2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgwfreak Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Shockwave was so jealous of Mindbender at SFOG that it turned green with envy! Looks like a great park, can't wait to go there some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskater132 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Awesome TR. I went yesterday 7/27/06 and didn't get many pics, but I'm gonna go on sunday and post a TR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherkid17 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 didnt really ride rodeo, i wasnt really interested in the new rides, although they added alot to the atmosphere. i was mostly on roller coasters, rode the titan 5 times, batman 4, and shockwave and tx giant 3. all the new rides looked really nice, and they did a great job with installation.

socalMAN123 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Flashback--Another attack of the clones, smooth though, not too exciting 5/10 For a second, I thought you were talking about SFMM. Then when I saw it was a boomerang, I was surprised you said it was smooth. Nice Photo TR, very nice pictures! ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
