John Peck Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Since I'm making my first trip to SFA since 2003, what order of things should I do? It will be Labor Day, so it could get busy. I am planning to get a SF pass (higher end) for 2018 and use it this season. Is there any early ride times or early admission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highridin Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Today is teaser day. I wonder what is next? If they are truly looking at forums, they'll be at Shipwreck Falls or the Lazy River. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highridin Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Ha! Didn't think about that. That'll be a bad tease. It hadn't closed since the last retracking. Of course most will be fooled..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Ha ha! See, now that the last teaser is out, and is at the Lazy River, I think they are teasing according to what is being talked about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Maier Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 More and more I'm wondering . . . . so SFA personnel read the board here? (not a complaint, just that what we speculate regarding what's leaving after this season magically appears on their FB page, etc). Â That being said . . . . A water coaster or mat racer would fit very well where Castaway Creek is now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgtlover Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 ^FYI: Most parks have social media personnel who check out forums that have a decent following (not just TPR). Some even join and post regularly....even higher ups than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 More and more I'm wondering . . . . so SFA personnel read the board here? I would make the assumption that most parks do read our forum from time to time if not frequently. Especially considering the fact that we do often Tweet out links to reports made on our forum and we will regularly get back notifications like this one we just got right now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 You're posting on/reading what is arguably the most popular theme park forum in existence. Always assume parks management and employees lurk here. Occasionally they will even will post (Tony from CP, Paula from Holiday World, etc). Â If you worked in marketing or management @ a park, wouldn't you want to stay up to date on what people thought of your business? Especially a site that's main purpose is theme park reviews?

To be fair I often end up having to apologize to many of those park management people for some of the things that are written on the forum. Since a lot of times what is written on the forums looks very much like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alilstronger Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 By the way, this is what I was talking about every time I mentioned Mat Blaster [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Â You go so slow on the up hill part. That is what I do not like about the traditional uphill slides. Now the newer ones like Fiesta Texas has is awesome. There are no slow parts. Â Even though I know Zoomazon Falls is really old they are my favorite water slides in the park. They are so fast! Last time I went I flipped over my stomach without even trying. I remember when you it was Adventure World and you use tubes on them. You would almost fly off. Â If a update is coming to the water park.... can we please fix the really sad looking pool/lazy river area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djackson Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 ^The only slide that is good on that tower is the green one. The other slides are terrible imo, especially the yellow one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Yeah, you are right. The yellow one is a disgrace. Both the green and red ones are good. Green being the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Green ZoomaZon (because of how darn quick it is) and Mako/Hammerhead (you WILL get airtime on them) are my favorite slides at Hurricane Harbor.

EliHorton Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Fingers crossed for a discovery Same. Discoveries are probably my favorite modern flat rides. You get so much floater air time on them! And for some reason I don't feel nauseous on them. Like, swinging ship rides usually make me feel really nauseous but discoveries don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
