christianscoasters Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I searched for anything I could find regarding Texas parks, but I couldn't find all the information I needed. In about three weeks, we will be going to San Antonio, Texas for vacation. We are leaving on Saturday, March 14. We are driving there, and stopping if we see something cool. That night, we will spend the night in Dallas, then the next day, drive to San Antonio. My first question -- Is there anything cool to stop and do along the way from Wichita to Dallas and/or in Dallas? (We won't be going to SFOT, however.) Second, we will be hitting up Sea World and SFFT. I'm pretty much shocked that my mom is letting me go to Six Flags considering how anti-roller coaster she is. In fact, I broke the news to her tonight that Sea World has roller coasters and it kind of disappointed her But anyway, we have Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to go to these places. She says if we want we can stay longer. So my question is, what days should we go to these parks? Third, on both parks, when is the right time of day to go? In what order should we do the attractions? Any information about ANYTHING is helpful!!! Thank you very, very much!
cedarpointfangirl Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 ^ To add to the post above the park is pretty much part of Speedzone. Speedzone has go karts, mini golf, an arcade, and they even have a roller coaster, it's a "Fireball"! Speedzone Speedzone is also not to far from Dave and Busters. Awesome arcade and good food.

christianscoasters Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 Hey thanks for the response, guys! We've changed the plans and we are going to San Antonio on Saturday, and leaving on Thursday. Just adding an extra day. I guess my questions now are, what days should we do SFFT and SW? What's open now is Sunday-Wednesday.
christianscoasters Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 Aww dammit! I didn't even bother to check the schedule! Man, this sucks. Now it's gonna be even more crowded. On the other hand, Sea World is open all week! What's best for this park? Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday? BTW, I appreciate the help GREATLY
paintballer Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 For Dallas, I'm your guy. You can visit the JFK muesem or The Aquarium in Downtown Dallas, but if you like Art muesems head down to Ft. Worth (West of Dallas past SFoT) You can visit the Kimball Art Muesem and there are some Botanical gardens also. Also, you might want to go on through to San Antonio and skip Dallas altogether. Its only 4 more hours down the road and if you leave early you can make it before dark. Oh and if by chance you stop by SFoT We can meet up there. SFFT, I finished each ride 3 times in the middle of summer in 6 hours, while spending an hour eating. So, I wouldn't worry. You could probably get 2 day tickets for SWSA and pay a visit to the Water park for the rest of the day.
christianscoasters Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Thank you guys! That's good news about SFFT. I'm glad I can probably get it all done easily. No SFoT for us. I'm sure I'll go there some day in the future though. I'd love to go to an art museum, but my mom and her man really aren't "artsy" people. I'm totally excited to get TWO B:TR clone credits on this trip! I've been on the one at SFMM, and I've been on Patriot at WoF, but those are the only B&M inverts I've been on. Patriot is a damn good ride, and I can't really remember B:TR that well (but I do remember tons of forces and our feet hurting when we got off), so I guess I can see how Patriot and B:TR compare!
paintballer Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 THe Great White I believe has a tighter helix or something I thought, so not a true B:RT clone, but if you wanted B:TR Clones, Texas is the place to be.
christianscoasters Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 SFFT is open on Thursday, the 19th, and we have decided to stay an extra day. Will it be fine to visit that day, or should we go on Sunday, the 15th? We got our tickets for $24.50 a piece! Yay!
CHILLERLC1 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 No waits for Great White or Steel Eel. : ) Your mom could watch shows at SFFT. Check out the gem that park is.
christianscoasters Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 ^As much as I wish she would go to SFFT, she won't. I'm going with her boyfriend. We are both coaster-lovers. I know she would have a GREAT time there, but she really doesn't want to go. In fact, she's looking forward to being by herself at the hotel, staying in the pool, etc. She would have such a great time though! Really? No waits? Holy crap! That's awesome! Totally excited about Steel Eel. My second Morgan hyper. Is there any particular order to see the shows in? Which ones fill up quickest?
