Going to SFGA Thursday

[John C.]

I'm going to SFGA thursday and I'm hoping to get there when the gates open. I'm not interested in getting a Flash Pass so I was curious to know how long the lines will be for S:UF, El Toro, KK and so forth... I haven't been to the park at all during the summer before. (I wait till a friday night during fright fest since it is empty) The last time I went I was only there for a few hours since it was friday night fright fest and was drizzling all night. The longest I waited for a ride was 5 mins. I know the lines won't be that short but what is an estimated time for the wait and what should I hit first?

I reeealy suggest getting a flash pass. I havent even been TBH but ive seen the lines, and FP's are always easy.

Well I just got back from SFGAd today and didn't buy the flash pass, as I only had 60 on me and it would have cost 50 for my girlfriend and I. Almost every ride was a 5 min wait in the station. The only long lines were TDK (duh) B:TR, and S:UF. El Toro was probably 20 mins long as was S: UF. TDK and B:TR were both about 30 mins. Kingda Ka was running all four trains today without any problems what so ever. I ended up riding that twice. Medusa Had either two or three trains going. (i can't remember) and Nitro had all three trains running. Overall the park was really nice and all the lines moved quickly as the ride ops worked their hardest. I can't stand the new locker rule though as I would have to chug my water or pay a dollar....I'd rather chug it. As I was leaving GASM I noticed the queue lines for the space shuttle were there. Wasn't sure what that was about. Anyway, the park really did great today as the lines stayed short the entire day and nothing was broken down. Even Rolling Thunder had all 4 trains running although they were not always running. Nitro encountered a ten min. problem with the restraints not locking in but after that is was all good. Thank you for a great day Six Flags

What's the difference between a Gold Pass and Flash Pass??

 

Do these passes work like the ones at Magic Mountain, Four rides per person?

 

It looks like I'll be heading to Great America on Mon. Aug. 11!!!!

Thanks in advance!
