Texas Giant BASH! - TICKETS NOW ON SALE!

[chadster]

^ In this case, I will stay the entire event, unless I need to make a run for personal reasons to the hotel. I'll also invest in the gold pass.

My train from the commercial is a still picture (also in the real commercial at 8 seconds) on the six flags web site if you click on the second tab on the left I'm in the 4th row red shirt!

[Sidra]

I think I'll also be there all day, never been to this park, but if it were a park I've been to before I usually take off for a couple of hours in the afternoon to go relax somewhere, get cooled off, not walk for a while, eat. Because I've never been to SFoT and the event is on a Saturday I'll probably get a gold pass too.

Seeing I live all the way over near downtown, I may chill for a little bit in my car...

[SharkTums]

KT and I will take a break during the day...maybe a little pool party at the official TPR Hotel is in order?!?!

[1badgmc]

When you're looking at around 8:30am to 11:00pm, that makes for a looooong day. I'm sure the wife and I will head out to the parking lot and crank the a/c for a bit. The weather was great 2 weeks ago when we went to the park, upper 70s and sunny, but I'm betting on temps in the 90s on the 14th. I'll be needing a break for sure.

[Meteornotes]

I can't imagine I'll spend the whole day at the park, especially since I've been there before. TPR Pool Party sounds like fun!

Speaking of the Official TPR Hotel, where is it? I'm just about to pull the trigger on flying down there for my first park trip since the opening weekend of Prowler in 2009. Gotta book all the particulars in one fell swoop.

[BigThunder Man]

Tickets ordered and looking forward to this TPR event! This will be the first TPR event for my girlfriend and her son so it should be interesting.

[SharkTums]

^^Once you're registered for the event you can email Robb for the hotel information.

Morning ERT is 1 hour of ERT on TX Giant and Titan

Evening ERT is 1 hour of ERT on TX Giant and Shock Wave

Sounds awesome. I am trying to convince a friend to come with me... what are the wait times usually like during ERT?

[samisthabomb]

I'll probably stay at the park all day since my guest needs all the credits! Getting the Gold Pass too.

Going by previous events I have attended that SFOT, the waits during ERT are 1 train to none depending on where you want to sit on Titan, they usually have two trains running. Front and back seats usually have a 1 to 2 train wait at most. I bet they have all three trains on for Giant, so I would expect similar wait times there too. Remember too, these are coaster enthusiasts riding not GP, so we know how to sit down, get restraints down and the ride ops can dispatch trains a lot faster than the gp as well.

 

There is usually no wait for Shockwave during the day except for front and back seats, and then maybe a 1-2 train wait. if there is nobody in line they will let you re-ride thus I've never used my ERT for Shockwave at previous ERT's.

After a 2 year hiatus from most things coaster, I'm in.

[GuruGuys]

Did I miss an email or anything stating what time the event starts? I'm planning to drive up there very early Sat morning, I just need to start planning exactly how early that will need to be? I'm assuming around 8am?

[robbalvey]

^ I would assume it would start around 8:30am, but I'm waiting on an email from the park with the final schedule.

[chrisdanger]

8:30 am would be just fine for me i'll even bring you a coffee robb, how do you take it?

[robbalvey]

Some good news! I got word that I can extend ticket sales through Sunday for Texas Giant Bash. I need to give the park our final event numbers on Monday, so please be sure to BUY YOUR TICKETS if you haven't already!
