robbalvey Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 So today we took a quick trip up to SFMM. And I have to say, we had a really good time! Sure there were a lot of little annoyances, but it wasn't as bad as some recent visits over the summer, and we managed to get on everything we wanted to. We got to the park right at opening, got our FlashPasses, skipped right by Tatsu and pretty much got almost the back of the park done in about an hour. Went right to Riddlers, than Batman, then Scream, Colossus, then decided to head over to Tatsu with our Flashpasses. Rode Tastu twice, then Viper, Superman, Ninja, Gold Rusher, Goliath and then finally head out. Our longest wait of the day was about 15 minutes at Superman, but we didn't even notice as we were totally mesmerized by this strange man spending the entire duration of the queue taking up close photos of his kids eye balls with his camera phone. A pure example of quality humanity! Anyway, enough boring text...here are the photos!!! Oh, yeah Ryan! This one's for you! POUND IT!!!! (Bethany is hiding!) And finally, we end this Photo TR with the pleasant, loving family photo of Bethany killing Dallas. TIGHT! Proudly sponsored by some show I've never heard of... Our final coaster of today...GOLIATH! "Sound advice!" Wow! Something I never noticed before! If you don't like Ninja....BLAME CANADA!!!! "When the coaster makes the funky wheezing sound, press the red button...." Over at Ninja, the "cool crew" was all "Yeah...we're cool, check us out....HI YAH!!!!" "I hope you guys are comfortable!" Dallas LOVES Tatsu!!!!! Probably the most disappointing thing of the day was seeing the empty FlashPass queues, and the ride ops not filling them. Some trains would go out half empty. Yay! The obligatory "signature shot" of Tatsu! Viper was actually good today. Thanks Jahan! Turns out, Dallas is ALSO an "ArrowFanMan." Jahan is proud. You can see him in the back seat comminicating with his alien planet. He is saying...in alien language "I love da cock....yup." Something tells me this is the most action Flashback will ever have. Good to see plenty of sweepers out keeping the park nice and clean! Good to see Psyclone's track is good for something! We were going to ride Tatsu, but somehow they managed to break it. We'll be back later. OMG! OMG! OMG!!!! STOP!!! HOLD EVERTHING!!!! We were all happy that Ryan couldn't make it down this weekend...and then! Woah! Someone ELSE bought that shirt?!?! Turns out, the kid lost a bet. And now that this photo is out there on the internet for all those girls to see....they won't be "lovin da cock." Sorry Jahan. On Colossus Dallas was doing his very best impression of an Asian boy screaming his head off. I think he did quite well! Dallas enjoyed the "park the car" coaster. Scream is the ultimate in parking lot coasters. Had they painted the trains like taxi cabs, it might almost have been forgivable! This is Jahan. And although he "loves da cock....yup" here you can see him taking geeky photos...like a geek....because....he "loves da cock! Yup." Since the park was so empty in the morning, they were running one train empty, one train full! OMG! Dallas!!! THROUGH THE TRAIN!!!! OMG! Batman! THROUGH THE TREES!!!! Dallas seems fairly pleased with Riddler's. No worries...we'll just head over to Riddler's...where NO ONE has made it yet. I think we even surprised the ride op crew! When we first got in the park, we went for Revolution - but Mike was standing out front - "Sorry folks, Revolution's closed. Moose out front should have told you."

ebl Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Believe it or not, I actually contemplated going out to SFMM today. But with the fire and being sort of tired, I decided...eh. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deano Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 HiYa!!! I think its pretty funny actually, the ride ops need to entertain themselves somehow. They did only say it once though when i was there last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Robb, is Tatsus crew still slow? Yes. It was very dissapointing. Took about 10 minutes for one dispatch, and we were left out on the brake run for about 7 minutes. Weird because all the other crews in the park seemed to be kicking ass today. But Tatsu was pathetically slow and running trains half empty. I just don't get it. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Yes the Tatsu crew is still slow... Poor Dallas didn't get on Deja Vu because it opened late, then it proceeded to break like a good Vekoma ride! Mike, you can break any ride you try! Joey, so...you like the sweeper???

pvcoasterguy Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Maybe my praising of (RIP)Shockwave is inspiring the other Arrow loopers to run better. Anyway, Bethany was in chat last night, which totally blew my mind! And Jahan's picture is priceless. Nice TR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking86 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Nice pictures! Looks like you had a great time! I must say that the seats and restraints on Scream looks surpringly worn for being on a 3-year old coaster.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shesaidboom Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I can't believe Driving Force sponsored a coaster!! That show is awful. It's about that John Force drag racer guy and how he fails at raising a family. It's even worse than that show they made about Hulk Hogan's family. Every time I see a SFMM TR I want to go even more. I will eventually make it there..I hope Looks like you guys had a great time. Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy T. Koepp Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I love the "Dallas doing his best Chineese kid screaming" impression. He looked just like the South Park kids when they all turned into Chimpokoman fanboys. Funny stuff. It looks like you all had a great time. My God! Those kids are growing up fast. When did Jahan come out of the closet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Well, at least the park is running decently (at least, everything that is open and isn't Tatsu). But, I'm not going to complain about how much they suck at operating Tatsu, as that means no lines for anything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Nice PTR! Lots a good pics and lots of rides! Too bad X isn't open still . Or is that a good thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
