coasternate Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Heading to the park today. Hopefully won't be too crowded due to Spring Break! It'll be great to look at Joker construction. I'm super excited for Joker to open! It looks insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire2box Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'll be at the park around at least 12:30. Gonna wear my Gravity Falls Mystery Twins shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternate Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Went to the park today! Wasn't all that crowded considering that it was Spring Break. Joker construction is looking amazing! The outward-banked turn leading up to the breaking wave turn looks EPIC and the step-up under-flip (or whatever they're calling that first element) looks insane. The opening can't come fast enough! (although I have no idea when it'll open, exactly.) Here are some photos: The drop is insanely steep, and the laterals will be awesome This element looks crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire2box Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Got to the park around noon or so, as stated it wasn't that crowded. Decent crowds but not horrible wait times apart from kong/superman. Me and my group mainly just did Medusa over and over. Milkshakes are now a snack item on the season meal pass. got Garlic Fries today to share with friend though. Will get a vanilla milkshake next time. edit: Forgot to mention two RMC workers were putting up guard rail on the right side of the track behind the break run/sub station, whatever we want to call it.

They'll have to try really hard to screw up a vanilla milkshake even at Johnny Rockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviemansig Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Will the park likely be crowded Sun. 6/12? (6/11 and 6/12 are Girl Scout days at the park.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterdoug Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Will the park likely be crowded Sun. 6/12? (6/11 and 6/12 are Girl Scout days at the park.) As a personal rule of thumb, I always assume that special event days will be crowded. If the chance of rain (which is currently forecasted at a low 20%) increases significantly, then that could lower attendance. However, if it was me, I would assume a crowded (or, at least, more crowded than usual) day. EDIT: I just realized that even though the question was regarding June 16, I looked at the weather forecast for this coming Sunday. Obviously, Sunday's weather forecast won't factor into the equation 2 months from now. Indeed, I would assume that the weather will be sunny and warm. Add to that the fact that most schools will be out on summer break, and I would assume a crowded park. Edited April 6, 2016 by scooterdoug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelRush Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I really think Medusa needs a repaint badly, it almost looks white imo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I really think Medusa needs a repaint badly, it almost looks white imo! It is quite faded, but fortunately the colors used still look fine when faded. Much like Flight Deck at CGA when it was black, even when it faded it still looked "natural". Tatsu at SFMM is an example of the opposite, it badly badly needs a paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Anyone know how early the VIP early entry is for the gold pass? Also, do they close all the rides in rain? Edited April 9, 2016 by jray21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire2box Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Anyone know how early the VIP early entry is for the gold pass? Also, do they close all the rides in rain? it's only like 10-15 mins and only for cobra, kong and medusa in Oasis Plaza on the front/right side of the park past coldstone/lockers. They run Medusa in light rain or did last time I was there and it had light rain. No idea if they close superman in rain but if it's moderate/heavy rain I bet they would. v2 was still closed down for I matience on march 31st, which I thought was weird given spring break and all. White water safari, the rapids ride was open too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thanks for the info. I'm heading to the park in a bit. Looks like rain most of the day. Of well, at least they have the animals to look at. Also, last minute question from my sister. Do they have a mothers lounge there or a baby center at all? I doubt it, but just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I don't think I've seen anyone post this yet, but SFDK posted a teaser pic of their trains. Courtesy of the SFDK fb page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 If the trains look anything like the ones in the concept video, I'm a happy camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterdoug Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I saw those wheel pics as well. Makes me excited at the progress. Joey, I'm not aware of any designated nursing center. Don't let the rain discourage you. I've ridden the major rides in the rain. If the rain is intermittent and not heavy (which is how it looks so far), then you should have plenty of riding opportunities. Additionally, the park should be empty. Have fun!

Loved the wheel photo!! Can't wait to see the full trains!! At least someone got it I was hoping this ride would be finished and testing by now. I'm still thankful for this coaster but the timing of this thing opening probably won't be as ideal for me as I was hoping it would be. And I'm reallyyyy anxious to see the full trains and witness it testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy13 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 It seems like they're on track for a Memorial Day opening, which is pretty standard for Six Flags. I'm totally starting to get anxious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
