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!

Texas Giant Bash is Saturday, May 14th and includes TWO HOURS of ERT on the New Texas Giant (as well as other rides and more cool stuff!)

[Sidra]

Hurry up Friday!

[samisthabomb]

^Agreed! It's gonna be soooooo much fun

[chrisdanger]

Im excited for one...Looking forward to meeting everyone whos showing up this weekend..speaking of, would it be too early for us to roll-call off?

[cedarpointfangirl]

^ I am excited too. I will be there with my cousin. This will be her first enthusiast event. I know she's gonna love it, especially the ERT.

[UberBeavis]

I can't wait. I'll be there. The last time I was at SFoT, The Texas Giant had just opened, so there's plenty of stuff that'll be new to me, too.

[coastercrutchfield]

In-N-Out is opening in Frisco and Allen for people that are interested...

[supertrooper]

The forecast for Saturday is 78 and sunny! That's perfect...Yay!!!

Tomorrow is the big day. Too bad they're on the wrong side of the metroplex for me. I'm waiting for the Ft. Worth, Arlington and Hurst locations.

[cedarpointfangirl]

^Were heading to the one in Frisco 2marrow ..want to do it now because since TGB is Saturday I won't be able to go over there. A reminder, those who are staying in the TPR hotel (Friday) near the park, and are interested, The Rangers are shooting off fireworks about 15 minutes after Angel/Ranger game. Game time is 7:05, baseball is unpredicable but I can imagine right around 10:15pm would be a good time to see them.

[chrisdanger]

A great local summer tradition, Friday night fireworks at the rangers game..My guess is Frisco is going to be in lock down tomorrow because of in-n-out opening....

[robbalvey]

The BIG BAD TEXAS GIANT BASH email has gone out! Hope you all got it! See you on Friday or Saturday!

[GuruGuys]

Just got the email! While Shockwave ERT at night is nice, my experience is the ride has been basically walk-on throughout the day so you can probably get your fix in on it at night before the park closes then ride NTG all night

 

Also, I just now reserved a room at the TPR hotel, they are still had rooms at the TPR rate.

 

Can't wait to see everyone there!

Agreed...but I know Shockwave is a favorite for a lot of people...how could we not include it?

[SteveC]

Hey TPR, extra kudos, I've been watching the weather and see you have managed to get rid of those Thunder storms and horrible high 80's and made it into a nice sunny high 70's day which works best for me. I guess like the ERT, it may be subject to change, but I keep the faith anyway

[chrisdanger]

I'm going to try to swing by on friday eve to say howdy for a little bit, def. be there throughout saturday. One thing of note gang: Even though its going to be in the mid-high 70s on saturday, you def. need to both put on plenty of sunscreen, as the NoTx sun can beat down on you if you stay out in it all day, not to mention wear a hat as well. I know, im sounding like someones mom here, but the #1 emergency issue at SFoT is overheating/exhaustion at the park.

[GuruGuys]

The weather does indeed look to be great, now a high of 75!!! Wow!!!

 

I am curious of how they will handle ERT on NTG. Hopefully they do have all three trains running which is likely since it should be crowded that weekend, like Robb said. Also, in previous Giant ERT events there was never a line and you could sit and ride over and over, of course not many people ERT'ed it due to the roughness and were on other coasters instead. Now I'm sure it will be packed. NTAG has a very long exit cue, I hope we don't have to walk it after every ride, will be nice if they let us exit back into lines. ERT on Titan has been 50/50 on walking the queue after each ride, some years we had to other years we could sit on, but its exit/entrance queue is very short.

 

Regardless of how it works out, its gonna be a blast!

 

I second Chrisdanger advice, wear sunblock if you burn! Drink lots of water, any place that serves drinks will give you free cup of ice water, just ask.

P.S. I'm all in for Waffle House... Texas Cheesesteak Sandwich and a Waffle, yum yum!
