Genx24 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Need these 15 days to fly by quickly more than I need air to breathe. Most of the offseason I was fine, but the past month or so I've been a fiend for airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 My non-enthusiast friends just don't understand how much of a stress-buster it is for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 My non-enthusiast friends just don't understand how much of a stress-buster it is for us. Or people who don't have off-seasons like Florida/California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Some advice. I've already, as some of you know, have decided to go on a Wednesday. I wanted June 15, but it closes at 8. Do you think that I should wait until one of the 10pm closing days? I'm doing the safari too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) The advantage of going on an 8 pm closing day is that crowds should be lower especially by 4 or 5 when the school groups leave. Some of my favorite days of the season to visit are on weekdays in May and June while schools are still in session (except on days when the park closes at 6) since during the day lines aren't too bad and those last few hours should be almost all walk ons.

Brassinthegrass Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 You should be fine, there is a possibility of a physics day, but post 3 or 4 pm the park should be dead and reprises galore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Excellent. June 15th it is. When do schools let out up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Jackson schools are in session until the week after that. Philadelphia and NYC schools usually are finished towards the end of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Thanks for all of the info. Now that I know when schools let out, would I be a fool to go that Friday of that same week. Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 It should be a little more crowded during the day with more school groups but probably not much worse. I went to the park on a Friday in June in 2014 before schools let out and got 21 rides in from 4:15 to 9:00 without Flash Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 BREAKING: Updated park map is out. https://static.sixflags.com/website/files/sfgad_park-map.pdf Of note: ~ That weird shortcut that showed up on the app that would go from GK to behind the bathrooms in PDC that we all got boners for is not actually there. ~ Old Country shortcut is open (though with everything - including JLBFM - listed as Movietown, I think it will just be open during picnic grove events as usual). ~ Plymouth Rock arena back to Northern Star Arena ~ New eateries going exactly where we suspected, and Macho still has a 2nd location in Movietown (and the people rejoiced) ~ They took the "Mine" out of Runaway Mine Train??

MitchCaltabiano Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Looks like they're completely redoing the Chiller part of Old Country. Some things I've noted about the area from the map are -Munchopolis looks like it will be placed in the building where they have the little Fright Fest store, I forget the name -Metro Grill looks to be placed near the Movietown Arena. It seems like it will be a decently sized restuarant due to the food description but no building is on the map nor was there a building there last season. Thats something Ill be interested in seeing come April 1 - JUSTICE LEAGUE headquarters store has been renamed to GOTHAM CITY gifts. This probably means nothing but maybe it could be a hint to a rename of GOTHAM CITY gifts. some other things to note are -The park finally got some sense and put Ka's description as "Tallest and Fastest coaster in North America" not the world - Shore Snacks will be giving out Nathan's hot dogs, and the original Nathan's has been replaced by the new cheesesteak place. -Plymouth Rock Arena is back to Northern Star arena. - (as noted above) Runaway Mine Train is back as "Runaway Train." - A new 10$ and Below store in Golden Kingdom near El Toro.

boldikus Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I feel like it was 6pm before? Also since when are Sawmill's lifts enclosed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellynn4 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Also since when are Sawmill's lifts enclosed? That's the main thing I noticed. I still have yet to look at past maps to see if that's a new thing or I just never paid enough attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 From GAH - 2016's had the enclosed lifts as well. So weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should never have changed to Runaway "mine" train to begin with. The ride dont have any tunnels or themeing. Im very happy it want back to what it used to be.
