coasterbill Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yeah they showed up on my app too. Seems like the exact same days as last year, and there are BAF days on those weird November weekends between FF and HITP so I'm happy its confirmed they'll be open again then. Those have been good weekends to visit the last two years. Yeah, even with those discounts those days are pretty much guaranteed to be incredibly slow. I feel like eventually they can build up attendance on that first weekend with the Grape Adventure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Also, sorry for the double post but the Bring a Friend Free days are out. Avoid going to the park on a Sunday in May or June (aside from Memorial Day Weekend) through June 18th or any Friday in August. Aside from that you should be good. Take notes! Don't be like me... It appears that I won't be visiting the park in May or June. I used to love Sunday mornings at SFGAdv in May and June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that I won't be visiting the park in May or June. I used to love Sunday mornings at SFGAdv in May and June. Same here, I'll be avoiding those days. I decided to get cedar fair platinum passes and a Busch Gardens Williamsburg platinum pass this year so this makes it an easier choice as to which parks I'll be spending more time at this year.

Ah, crap. I was going to go on a Friday in August.... Now, I'm going to have the Gold Flash Pass. How bad are we talking? Is it still likely to be okay with the Flash Pass, or should I redo my vacation plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 It'll be okay with a Gold Flash Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBpony414 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 ^ You'll be just fine with the Gold FP. Make sure to spend the time to go on the Safari!! It's absolutely worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The Safari is one of the things I'm looking forward to the most, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Chiming in to say the gold FP will be fine, especially if you are stopping by Thursday for a bit like I think you said you were. Just make sure to reserve each ride as soon as they scan you in to the previous ride, don't wait until you are done and exiting. This way the time you spend riding you are also queuing for your next ride. Saves a lot of time and will get you on much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Excellent. Yep, that's still the plan. Just wanted to be sure BAFF wasn't going to result in 2 hour lines or something like that where 50% is still very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 "All-new spiraling coaster, now open." Yep, it's official. I hate Six Flags. I could tolerate it when it said "looping coaster" but spiraling... Really?? Maybe they threw in a few helixes and just haven't told us yet.

DirkFunk Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 So that makes 50% of the Plug N Plays SBNO for the 2017 season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) I'm going to throw a fucking tantrum. I am super concerned after it was announced this morning that Colossus would open for 2017 either. And I was going to go back to SFGADv this year.

I Like Theme Parks. Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 This Great Adventure Online group said they confirmed that El Toro is going to be open and that it's just a mistake. I hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) ^I hope so. But if the park confirmed this with an online fan group, they should have immediately corrected it on their website. Great Adventure Online is saying that the website has not been updated since HiTP, but El Toro is the only coaster that says closed for the season. For reference KK and K:DoD, Runaway Mine Train don't show closed for the season. Log Flume and Justice League show not open yet. The way it appears in Six Flags current website is just odd.

AndrewRnR Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 T Express is listed as closed - not sure if it is closed because of the season (don't they close some rides during the winter there?) or because of something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pear Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It's confirmed to be a mistake on the park's end thankfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MIntaminGCI Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm still skeptical of it, but hopefully that group is right. I wouldn't be able to take Toro being down for a whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellynn4 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Part of me wants this to hold true just to watch enthusiasts lose their poo-poo... While no one should ever lose one's "poo-poo", El Toro being down the whole year is a much more valid reason than freaking out over a new ride's prospective name or getting pissy over Larson Loops getting called coasters. That said, I trust the moderator of that group; he's an excellent and reliable source for information. I'm sure it's just an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm about to have a heart attack over here. Haha. First Colossus, then El Toro, then T-Express. I'm visiting Liseberg for the first time this year and I'd be devastated if Balder were closed too! Hopefully we find out soon what's really going on with El Toro and T-Express.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I've been watching the website, and not much has been done to it since the season ended. The Flash Pass screen still doesn't say whether Justice League is on it and says Joker is new for 2016, and still lists dummy prices for each tier. I think the website hasn't been a real priority to them over the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Why do I feel like I remember something like this happening with their website last year (or maybe the year before)? With certain things listed as closed and then we showed up opening day and all was fine? Relax everyone, I'm sure The Bull will buck again this season. And I'll be there first thing opening day making sure its happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
