ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I have plans to visit the park this summer, and I was wondering: I have never been to a six flags park before and does this park have any fast pass or fast lane system? Answers appreciated! Yes yes yes, and you want it. Badly. I got the platinum pass last summer, and it was worth every penny. $110 last year (I don't know about pricing this year), but it will make your day. I rode more coasters than I have ever ridden in any one day ever, and the double rides on everything are AWESOME. Invest in the platinum pass, please. You will not be disappointed.

beenagins87 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I was just wondering if someone can help me out with some park history. I know Goliah is where Iron Wolf stood, and SUF is where Shockwave was, where was Deja Vu located?? Is it where X-Flight stands now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 ^ Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was in County Fair across the midway from Demon, where Buccaneer Battle is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodon Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Did anyone on here do the Coaster Challenge for the Special Olympics last year? Sounds like it could be fun. http://www.soill.org/event/coaster-challenge/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Wolf 90-11 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 ^ I second that. My father and I are looking at possibly taking part in that event as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribsinbacon Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 ^ I second that. My father and I are looking at possibly taking part in that event as well. My girlfriend and I are interested. We'd love to do the full marathon but we don't think we could raise the 1k to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 SFGAm posted on their Instagram page that they will be offering "double rides" on American Eagle this season. I assume by that they mean "second rides". It should be fun for the people riding, but when you combine this with Six Flags' wonderful dispatch times, this is going to kill capacity. Let's hope they have both sides running this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwgator Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I wonder if this may be a hint at removal or RMC conversion....jut a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Doubtful. I'd bet it's part of their "40 Seasons" celebration, as a way to "celebrate" their coasters. American Eagle is an obvious choice for this as it is a "classic" attraction, relatively popular, and most importantly, very high capacity. I don't see any one SF park getting two RMC projects before most of the major SF parks remaining have one, and I don't see Great America getting another coaster for at least another two years. At least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyRush Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Seems crazy to have more than one RMC at a park, yet then again parks have multiple B&M's and Intamin's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCI Wooden Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 So, I am going to SFGAm this summer (Tuesday in June), and I was wondering how I should conquer the park. My current plan is to go Goliath, X-Flight, Giant Drop, and then Raging Bull, but I'm not sure what I should do from there. I'm thinking to go from Raging Bull to Whizzer. Also, does Superman: Ultimate Flight ever have a time where the line shrinks down (Some rides at the front of some parks have very small lines towards closing, is this the case with S:UF? Any help is greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodon Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 ^ Personally, I would get to the park well before opening and hoof it over to Goliath first. If you get to the park early enough and jog over, you should be on the first few trains of the day. From there, I would hoof it back to Superman which should have a smallish wait at that point. If you don't get to Goliath well before opening, your wait will likely be over an hour and a half, at least that was my experience last year. It could be a bit better this year, but it's still the new hotness. I would also wait until later in the day/evening to ride Whizzer when most of the smaller kids have left the park. Whizzer is a fun and unique ride that is worth a lap or two, but it has terrible capacity and is one of the few family coasters in the park so the line can get really bad during the day. Hope that helps a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilrider Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Seems crazy to have more than one RMC at a park, yet then again parks have multiple B&M's and Intamin's And SFGAm has multiple of both those companies' coasters. With only so many big name coaster manufacturers, I think it makes sense. I am skeptical of an RMC Eagle anytime soon though, though I would not mind at all!

I305forever Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 ^ But the difference is that B&M and Intamin make a lot of different types of coasters, while RMC only has two. It is like having multiple floorless coasters at one park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I think everyone is just anxious to know what the other three RMC projects will be for 2016 (the fourth being Wildfire). Something tells me SFOG, SFstl, and KK (or maybe BGT? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
