If it is, hop in it, you'll get on much quicker, tho you won't get to chose what row they put you in to fill an open seat. Single queue was not in place when I was there in Oct. for Fright Fest Link to post Share on other sites
TEDodd 19 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Several Coasters have Single Rider queue (most importantly Twisted Cyclone & Goliath). Completely useless. Even after waiting I'm the main cue forever then you wait in the single rider line as they dispatch trains with half full rows. Occasionally they look over at the single queue and take one or two.Totally unlike the single rider experience I had in Texas several years ago (2014?). Bypassed the main queue (using fast lane) and they filled every empty seat from the single rider queue if people there.So SFOG almost never has anyone in the single rider lines because of that. Once or twice I got the fast lane person to let me up to the single rider line on Cyclone, like in Texas. Then I watched 3 trains leave with 4-5 empty seats. Link to post Share on other sites
bert425 220 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 ^ absolutely not my experience using the single rider. I've always gotten placed very quickly from that station queue. guess it just depends on the crew working that day. Link to post Share on other sites
CoasterGuy06 10 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Agreed on saying you should hit up DDD and Superman first. Twisted Cyclone's line is usually much shorted in the afternoon though. Normally crowds would be bigger those Saturdays because you have a lot of band/choir groups there, but that won't likely be the case now. I'm sure they will still "cap" their attendance, but even so you will have enough time to ride the coasters most likely. Link to post Share on other sites
The username 5 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Do we know if Mind Bender is going to open on opening day? Thinking about continuing my new tradition of attending opening day for the 3rd year in a row, but if there's no MB idk if I can really justify it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking about continuing my new tradition of attending opening day for the 3rd year in a row, but if there's no MB idk if I can really justify it. I would say the answer is "no" I saw a press release last week, referring to "Spring Opening" and mentioning brand new trains. and a quick check just now at SFOG website, doesn't even show Mindbender (or Riddler Mindbender) listed on the Rides list. so. . yeah. . it won't be open till later in the year. ETA: it absolutely could just be shitty Six Flags Website. . as I notice Pandemonium isn't on the rides list either. . that certainly hasn't been removed or closed. Link to post Share on other sites
The username 5 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 After looking at season passes, might just go anyways. 50$ with free parking is a smoking good deal. Link to post Share on other sites
bert425 220 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 ^ free parking, does that mean the are upgrading to Gold for free? if yes, GRAB it. . that gives you free parking at all SF parks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They did away with that Gold upgrade stuff. Season passes have parking now. Mindbender will 99% be closed. On their FB page, their response to it being running opening day was simply, "Spring 2021." Pretty sure that's a nice way of saying no. Also, if you bought passes last year, they are still good this year. 'The username' mentioned having a streak going and then buying new passes. Letting him know just in case. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The username 5 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 ^Good thing to know! I did not have a pass for last season mainly because of MB and GASM not being open when I went on opening day. Def rubbed me the wrong way, might just be spoiled from how good 2019's opening was. Link to post Share on other sites

coasterbill 650 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Some eagle-eyed people have noticed that the Sky Buckets have been removed from the website. Assuming it’s not just an incredibly-unlikely site error and the ride is being removed, I can’t say I’m surprised but it’s a bummer. Aside from it being a nice ride, it’s also a bummer because they’ll probably leave the towers there forever like New England and it’s a straight budget cut since it’s not opening up any real space.

bert425 220 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 don't panic just yet. . look up thread. . Mindbender/Ridder Mindbender, and Pandemonium are missing too. it's just the website, I'd think. . . "Six Flags". . LOL (tho there supposedly were rides being removed from some parks, right?) EDIT: looks like Pandemonium is back on the rides list. Still no Mindbender/Riddler Mindbender tho.

CoasterGuy06 10 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 FWIW, on the SFOG History Facebook group someone posted that a member of management confirmed to them yesterday that Sky Buckets are indeed permanently closed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
thrillseeker4552 75 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 That's a bummer. It was closed when I went in 2019, but for some reason that didn't surprise me. Hopefully the one at Great Adventure sticks around for a while. Link to post Share on other sites
