CycloneMan Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Date: August, 13th 2007 People: Me Spike (NitroFan) Brian (Sue's friend) Ride Count: Nitro 1x Skully 2x Houdini 1x El Toro 1x Rolling Thunder (left) 1x Runaway Mine Train 1x Kingda Ka 1x GASM 1x Batman 1x Trip Report: Not much to really say! Just read the ride count! But there were something that happened, so read this! On our way to Nitro, we ran into our friend Brian, and had him hang with us, and ride Nitro with us, but afterwards he left! We then went to Skull mountain, where we queued up behind a camp counsler with 6 kids. A minute later, three camp counslers with 60 kids came behind, and CUT US! They all just went right on by! I started yelling out the counsler but he was so dumb that he seemed confused! Thank god for a wide queue, so we were able to slither right by! El Toro's hostess was really bad too! The line filled up, and was about an hour! We would stand for 20 minutes at a time before moving, because the woman kept letting flashpass go through! El Toro was running...like El Toro, great! A little bumpy, but not as bad as it was before the reepairs! Rolling Thunder was running 3 trains! 1 on the right, which had a huge queue, and 2 on the left side which was a 3 train wait! We ate lunch at Best Of The West, which is always nice. We checked out Medusa, but they were making the guests enter from the back swithcbacks, and we saw that the big 2 swithbacks were filled, and the other 2 were starting to fill, so we just left! Now on to Kingda Ka. We waited 10 minutes in the switchback, and I finally got into the locker room. They're really anal at Ka, so of course, we had to waste $2 to put my fanny pack, keys and Spike's cup in a locker! As we put the money in we hear the announcment that Ka was broken! Well...we got totally pwnd! Because we couldn't get our money back, so we waited it out. About a half hour later we were on GAK 2nd row. We flew over the top, great airtime! Quote of the day: "First they are line cutting! Now they are sitting on the hand rails! THAT DOES IT!" Photos: Spike and Brian at Nitro! There's the green train just chilling, and making the right side's line ridiculous! Hehe, Pot hang out! What is this enjoyment pose? My camera sucked, so I didn't get the people! But they were using all 4 swithcbacks at Medusa! Just a picture of the two of us...I need to shave! So both trains of Chiller are no where in site! Entertainment department seems to be doing good this summer! I decided to take a few shots in Skull Mountain, with out the flash! Only two were worth posting! This one is cool! I like this one of the train heading up the lift! I noticed this on the way in and out of the park! Six Flags Great Add-venture! I like this shot of Supersuck Ultimate Flop. Too bad it's not good! -Dainan "That's all, bye!" Rafferty
Airtime&Gravity Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 ^so does S:UF get long lines at SFGADV, or are you just showing your hatred toward the ride? I'll agree that it sucks, but I don't get the "flop" part. I also don't know how El Toro can get really long lines since it didn't seem to have much of a queue(seemed like it had the capacity as Viper), and when I went, three-five rows were filled, and it was around a 10 minute wait. Oh well, great photos and tr of a great park. It looks like you had fun, but too bad Kingda Ka broke down immediately after you rented a locker.
IwantRevenge Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 ^the lines are massive dude cool TR, Rolling thunder and medusa had a line! woah it must have been crowded!
Superman06 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 hey! I was also there Monday. I tho got flashpass. I know its a ripoff but I dunno. To have a fun day I think its worth it. I didnt find El Toro bumpy at all. Then again maybe its cause the old wooden coasters that are bumpy as heck. Now Nitro I had a front row seat and it was just an average ride for me. I didnt really notice any airtime really. Same thing with Kingda Ka. I've ridden it so many times over the last 2 years that the thrill I used to have when riding it is just about gone. Besides the launch none that exciting to me anymore. Rolling Thunder was a walkon when I rode it. Didn'teven need the flashpass. My ride count... 4x El Toro. Everything else once. Total...16 rides. Nice pics tho.
