805Andrew Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 ^At SFMM, I'd guess the headliner rides will be 30-45 minutes, and at Knott's 15-30 minutes. While it is a weekend, most schools will be back in session by this time so it should not be too crowded (certainly not enough to require a Flash Pass or Fast Lane). If you mean during ERT, as a general rule there are few enough people that lines are kept below 15 minutes and often are only two or three trains. Oh man if the headliners are just 30-45 this will be glorious! Certain ones will most likely be more like X2, probably Tatsu and Green Lantern, and possibly Riddler's Revenge. Note that the time estimates assume rides are being run reasonably well. If there are one train operations or significant stacking, lines could be longer. I just know that last time I visited SFMM on a non-WCB Saturday (although one in December), I was able to get on all the coasters and leave by 6 P.M. even though I left the park for lunch at a sit-down restaurant. If you're trying to get on everything with minimal waiting, I recommend ending ERT at Goliath and going counter-clockwise from there. Depending on what time lunch is at, you could probably do Colossus, Scream, Green Lantern, Batman, Riddler's, Gold Rusher, Apocalypse, Superman, Ninja, and maybe Tatsu before lunch. It may be tempting to go to X2 first, but that ride rarely opens on time and the line will drop mid-afternoon (usually to below 30 minutes), plus Green Lantern and Superman have terrible capacity. This sounds like a good plan. I was almost thinking the exact same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfcoasterfan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Just got tickets for myself and a friend! Also my ClubTPR membership! This will be my first TPR event, and I'm so psyched! I'm flying down on Friday and back on Monday night, thinking about hitting up Disneyland for the day on Monday. Anyone care to join? My WCB bud has to work and I hate going to a park alone. School will be back in session, should be fairly quiet. PM if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Coleman Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Just to warn you on that Monday Disney will have space mountain, big thunder mountain and the haunted mansion closed at the same time for various reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic hearse Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 All signed up! Just a heads up, I was at Knotts this past weekend and they now have new automated lockers the cheapest being $13. The price goes up as the lockers get larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 All signed up! Just a heads up, I was at Knotts this past weekend and they now have new automated fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo the cheapest being $13. The price goes up as the fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo get larger. So it looks like these digital lockers are spreading to other Cedar Fair parks. CGA got the digital "Go-Pod" lockers as well prior to 2013 opening. Much nicer to not have to carry a key. When we did the water park, the 3 of us stuffed 3 medium-sized backpacks (stuffed with clothes), 3 pairs of shoes, and our souvenir cups in a medium locker. Wow, that was a lot of 'fluffy bunnies' in that post just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyteowl Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Purchased my ticket for the SFMM day. If everything goes according to plan, I should be able to operate Monte for you guys on the Knott's day! Looking forward to another awesome TPR Event.

JJLehto Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hmm well I MAY get KBF in after all. Quite odd but my LA friend has...disappeared? No more FB, and I don't have his number, that's what I was gunna ask him for! Maybe he'll appear again by the time I leave, if not well...I'll have the morning of the 8th free then and can squeeze in ERT and some rides.

Kyle Coleman Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Just scored the knott's hotel on hotwire for 60 a night for both Saturday and Sunday. So if you haven't booked a hotel for the weekend it is available on hotwire right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singemfrc Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Goliath is perhaps the one I look forward to most! Possibly Tatsu. Does SFMM ever open the park a bit before official opening? Because I'm thinking of heading to X2 right as ERT is ending so I can beat the crowds to it when it opens up. Im several pages behind at this point, but since this might be helpful to others, yes there's always the 10-15 min window that gold pass holders and Discover card members get in, so you could sneak into that time slot. They don't always open X2 early (frequently even if the ride is ready they will wait until there is a large crowd waiting before allowing you to enter the que) but if nothing else you could get to the front of the line for the first train.

Oh man if the headliners are just 30-45 this will be glorious! Certain ones will most likely be more like X2, probably Tatsu and Green Lantern, and possibly Riddler's Revenge. And those last two have single rider lines which can basically eliminate any wait time if you're by yourself or in a small group and don't mind not riding together. For anyone else going solo the full list of rides with SR lines are Viper, Revolution, Green Lantern, Riddlers, and Lex Luthor. For most you just go up the exit. Green Lantern and Riddlers' SR lines are a little more concealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmullin Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Not sure if this has been asked already, but have the morning and night ERT rides been decided for SFMM? I really want to go to both days but I can't make the Sunday, and I might have to miss one of the SFMM ERT sessions, but I really want to ride YOLOcoaster so I would like to go to that ERT session. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. While the schedule is always subject to change and it has NOT been finalized yet, at the moment it's looking like YOLO, Luther and Goliath in the morning and X2, Tatsu, and Apocalypse at night. Keep in mind the park is only open until 9pm that night, so you should be able to make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 ROBB!!!! LOL wassup.. quick question... how do we know if we were able to secure tickets...

thrillseeker4552 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Do we get Flash Pass for the Six Flags day? I've noticed you guys had them on the Midwest tour; I was wondering if it's the same for WCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year there wasn't Flash Pass, but you didn't need it because you got so many rides during ERT, but if you want to buy it you can. And for buying tickets, if I'm going to buy three tickets but only two of us have Club TPR pass, can we get the Club TPR discount for the third person or not?

AlvChen1 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Has anyone booked their hotel around SFMM for this year?? I've been trying on priceline for 3* and 3.5* and my last bid of $70 was rejected. Just wondering if anyone has had success this year with Hotwire or Priceline for SFMM hotels.

gisco Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Decisions, decisions. I'm busy Saturday morning. The question is can I make it down to MM for night ERT or bag it and just go to Knott's on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
