Lol why does one of the Google Reviews say "Too many black people in line"?

Because there are racist D-bags that live in the Chicago area?

Thanks! I just reported that to Google. For anyone else who wants to do so, his name is Manuel Lopez and that was posted about 2 months ago.

. . . But for a park that is slowly starting to run out of room. . .

 

The park is not "running out of room." Whenever you think "Hmmm, this park is starting to run out of room" just remember Gröna Lund. . .

 

And in case you forgot what Gröna Lund looks like:

 

 

 

 

Therefore, "The park is running out of room" is never allowed to be an argument. . .

Holy crap... America would never give any park permission for that

Does SFGAm have any actual Joker coaster track on site yet? I ask because here at SFOT our parking lot is full of the stuff.

[RollingCoasting]

To my knowledge, no. The park seems to be focusing on deconstruction of everything else first, given the ride's location within the park

Just wanted to remind everyone that the last weekend is a BAFF weekend.

Thank you! It drives me crazy when people attempt to bring up the space issue. It was also used as to why Goliath is so short: "they did as much as they could with the space." Wrong. They did as much as they could with the limited budget. Why not wait another year and build a full roller coaster ride? Six Flags doesn't do that anymore. Low capacity, trick or "contraption" coasters are what's happening now. Hey, I ain't complaining too much... we still have Whizzer!

[RollingCoasting]

^^ Everyone found out in like August

 

It is a good decision by the park, bringing in money on what would be slow and colder days, but annoying for pass holders

[9Armgeddon4]

^ I know just that I wanted to remind everyone about in case anyone forgot. I don't really have a problem with it. Heck as of now I'm going with a group of 8. Me and 7 other friends. 4 of us have passed so 4 are getting in for free.

I edited my post just now.

[9Armgeddon4]

Man I can't believe the park is only for this weekend and next then that's it until next spring. Makes me wish we had HITP like the other SF parks that do.

[RollingCoasting]

Could be worse, some parks closed in September

 

 

Does anyone think Halloween will be crowded? I'll be going regardless, but I heard it was completely dead in 2014, similar to Opening Day 2009 so I'm getting my hopes up

[Superbatboy]

Hey at least when SFGAM opens next year, they'll have a nice, shiny new coaster

[9Armgeddon4]

^ That I can't to ride on the season pass holder day(if there is one) and grand opening.

^^ Yeah your right about that. I'm not sure I've never been to the park on Halloween. I assume it will be a little busy but nothing like a Saturday or Sunday.

Please

 

We all know it won't open until Memorial Day XD

[9Armgeddon4]

Which is when Joker should open if you ask me along with the other 2017 attractions.

Jester's Wild Ride is completely gone

I have a question for the regulars? I'm a first time Gold pass holder (already purchased at Great Adventure) and I got the dining membership that came with the souvineer bottle. My question is do all the rides here have those holders for the bottles or will I have to get a locker for them?

I think the only time I've gotten a locker is at the waterpark. Can't think of a situation in the park that's required a locker.

However, speaking from experience (as a victim, not a perp), those things are a neon sign saying "Steal Me!"

You are correct, other than the Hurricane Harbor lockers are not required to store items unless you want to buy one which who really would?

I stick a big piece of gum to the top of my bottle so no one will want to steal it.
