Great trip report! SFOT looks better then I thought, and SFFT looks like one of the best parks in the chain. It definitely looks like it has the best atmosphere of any of their parks, and it looks like they focus on small touches and theming quite a bit.

 

Best park in the chain. Wow, just wow. For having a floorless, boomerang, Batman clone, a spinning mouse, and Poltergeist, you consider them the best in the chain? Go to Magic Mountain, Over Texas, Over Georgia, Great Adventure, or Great America, and than we can talk about best in the chain. Who cares if the theming is great in my opinion if it hardly has any good rides?

 

For the Goliath and the Sea World clone thing, you want people to come to your park. For people that like rides, they don't have to go Sea World if that's the only thing they care about. They can now only go to Fiesta Texas. I don't plan on going to Sea World in Orlando (even though different Sea World) anytime soon because I feel I can get animals at a zoo instead, and I rather go to another park. Sea World just doesn't have enough rides in my opinion. If they put a flying coaster at Universal, they would be wonderful for me.

Just because the older parks have more coasters doesn't necessarily make them a better park......but I do see your point. There's more to the park then the rides they have. SFFT is doing quite well for not even being 20 yrs old yet. I personally wouldn't go as far as saying "best" park in the chain....but i would say "NICEST" park in the chain.

 

But that's just me.
