Sportsdude360 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Line jumping definitely happened while I was at the park. As for the bees, perhaps they're only a problem during the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonR Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 SFoT added signs in queue lines in an attempt to curb the line jumping issues. Wonder if SFFT plans on doing the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I saw no signs like that when I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky dude Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 So SF's 2014 announcements are on August 29th. What do you guys think SFFT will get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 ^A new parade or a new show? I wouldn't expect too much after Iron Rattler. Possibly, a flat ride at the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasThrillSeekers Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Yeah I wouldn't expect a large investment like IRAT in 2014. I've done some research and can't find any rumors for Fiesta in 2014, but have found other rumored attractions for some of the other parks in the chain. Fiesta has a bunch of shows, I mean that's what they are known for. So maybe a new show. Plus Fiesta is running out of room I believe. The only free area of land I know of is just past the boardwalk. Right? Edited July 19, 2013 by TexasThrillSeekers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I think they will focus on the water park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFFTbajam Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 There is plenty of room at the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 ^Enough room for a Intamin coaster? That is what I just read. Isn't there some land not used on the right side of the park if your looking at the entrance from the parking lot. Plus you could always just build on top of other rides. I just be happy if Superman got a new coat of paint for 14'. I noticed last time at the park, the Superman sign on the station looked to have been replaced and looked great.

Ducky dude Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 There is plenty of room at the park. I agree! It's just hard picturing where the next thing would go. Can you give us a hint of the next new attraction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasThrillSeekers Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 There is plenty of room at the park. LOL! good to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You should never say there isn't enough room at a park. There are way too many instances where parks have fit coasters in spots that were not previously thought to have enough space. Just look at SFOG. I would of never dreamed they could of fit a B&M hyper where they did, but sure enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFFTfan Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 There is also room on the east side of the park. From what I see on Google earth, there is a property line that runs from Six Flags Dr to almost Old Fredericksburg Rd, then goes west to the La Cantera parking lot. Looks like a lot of land.

Sportsdude360 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I have to ask, is iRat still operating? In view of what happened tonight at SFOT on NTAG, I wouldn't be surprised if it were shut down as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasThrillSeekers Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 IRAT is not in operation at this time. I believe I read until the investigation concludes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Jamie - Can you let us know how long Iron Rattler will be down for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernierocker Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) I haven't seen anything other than a few tweets from random people saying that it is closed. Edited July 20, 2013 by ernierocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadster Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 It's closed for 'precautionary' reasons per guest services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomman295 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I just got back from a day at SFFT. I may post a full update if I get the time later, buy here were a few quick points worth mentioning (All of which are nothing more than OPINIONS). Iron Rattler was fun, but far more tame than it looked. It's going to be in the top 3 coasters of the park for years to come, but the better moments of the ride were too short. It's loads of fun though. Poltergeist was the surprise ass-kicker of the trip. Incredibly intense and has absolutely FLAWLESS pacing. I preferred this a bit more over iRat. Superman Krypton Coaster was easily one of the smoothest B&Ms I've been on, which was a surprise as I got forced into the back seat as a single rider. Very well paced, some great forces that weren't too strong, and it's one of my new favorite B&Ms ever while being my most preferred coaster in the park. Goliath, even though it doesn't fit in with the park at all, was surprisingly good because it was the most forceful ride I've ever been on... Next to Goliath at SFMM. It's also worth noting that SFFT has the BEST Scrambler and S&S towers ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming by just got back you mean from a trip yesterday? iRat is still closed correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFFTfan Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Never saw iRAT operating the couple times I passed by the park today on 1604 and I usually do. Parked in La cantera parking lot for about 5 minutes then drove around the park and never saw it operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooMuch Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Has there been any word on when IRat will reopen? I'm assuming if the restraint system has to be modified on NTAG then the same fix will have to be done to IRat.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
805Andrew Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Just saw the video for Iron Rattler, it's looks really cool and blends in with the scenery really well. For those of you who have ridden both NTAG and iRat, which one do you prefer or feel is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Drove by SFFT today. News station was filming at the entrance on La Cantera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
