robbalvey Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hey everyone! Good news! I just found out I need to be in the Baltimore area for work the week of April 23rd, so why not have a meet at Six Flags America? The meet will be on Saturday, April 21st. The park opens at 10:30am that day, so let's plan to meet at 10:00am. We'll figure out what our plans will be based on how many people can make the meet, but expect to have a LOT of fun and ride a lot of great coasters! If you want to attend the meet, please fill out the RSVP form here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/sfarsvp.htm That way we'll know how many people to expect and we'll have your email address to send you more details. I apologize for this being so last minute, but I just found out that I'll be in the area that week. Myself, Elissa and KidTums look forward to seeing as many of you as possible! --Robb ROLL CALL!

okinawaboy11 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Wooowho... Just RSVP'd Prepare to be Ghetto-ized if you've never visited Robb or Elissa. (Don't forget your bullet proof vests and your book of ebonics ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdgoer Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 awesome! I'll try to be there. I live 10-15 mins from the park so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdgoer Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I doubt JJ is gonna be running this early in the season, who knows though. And ERT would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okinawaboy11 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 1. Batwing, probably not, they had two train operation on and off (mostly off) last year, It didn't work very well. (As if it works better with 1 train operation). 2.Typhoon, last I heard it was boarded up, It hasn't been removed from the ride list at SF.com, so I have no Idea whats up with it. 3. Ultra twister is in the same position it was in last year. And it's probably not going to move this season, or next, or the one after that. You get my point...

okinawaboy11 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Oh, lol, I never knew that. Good to know. The park hasn't changed much since the 4 years I've lived here so I doubt it's changed the last time you visited also. Lots of flats have been removed.

robbalvey Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 And no, there is no ERT planned. This is an official "meet" not an "event" like West Coast Bash. I mean, think about it for a second, we *JUST* found out that we're doing this trip like yesterday, so being able to get enough people to put together an event in less than 2 weeks is a bit unrealistic. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dailey Enterprizes Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hopefully it doesn't snow when you're there. Right now there's snow on the ground and it's like 20 degrees... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yeah, but the parks are still open! Trust me, I've been at parks in the snow before (remember Nasu Highland?) Personally, I would RATHER it be snowing!!! Would make for a much better Photo TR!!! Our trip is 2 weeks away, I highly doubt this weather will be exactly the same in 2 weeks. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb: Yup. SFA Official: What do you have that could possibly sway me? Robb: *holds up KidTums* SFA Official: .................... Oh dammit, I can't resist that face! It's a deal!

jackskellington101 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I'll be there. If I get the gumption to experience the assumed pain of Two Face, I should have credit 100 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I was last at SFA around 2003, so my recollection is fuzzy. I don't recall Two Face being too rough. Mind Eraser, however, is a different matter. Prepare for SLC pain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackskellington101 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Oh, I already know the pain of Mind Eraser. The name is very ironic because I'm sure that blunt force trauma to the head can certainly erase a few things in the mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I rode Twoface last summer in the 3 hours I was at SFA. ANd its still just as smooth as it was back when I roe it in 2002... and in 1999.... Canobie "Invertigos and GIBs OWN" Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_Holder Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 This will be fun. If anything, there should be a big group ride on Superman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 The park is not ghetto.... It's in largo.... If your judging by the staff then, you find similar attitudes at other parks. Six Flags just gets the rep because there hasn't been a significant change in attitude among employees. I however, expect this year to be different. My friend who works there told me many people were fired. Unfortunately, I am away in college here in Boston, so i won't be able to join. Have fun and take bunches of pictures. See if you can get any info on Ultra Twister or anything new for the upcoming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF? Did you even bother to READ anything about the meet, or are you just posting because you think it's cool. First off - We're not even going on the 23rd!!! We're going on the 21st. But you're more than welcome to join us on the 23rd if you'd like. Secondly, yes, you need to be 16 or accompanied by a parent. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolinacaniac Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hey Robb, Is it cool for us to bring friends? I would like to bring my fiancee and two of our friends (one of them is doing her internship with the Department of Interior in D.C.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerleeberry Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 HEY YA!!! I'm hoping to be there on Saturday, April 21 (if I don't have to work overtime - that would bite). Since I'm an early bird when it comes to arriving at parks, I'll probably be waiting for you all. When you get there, then you must Ride the Wild one: the coaster that is celebrating its 90th year!!!
