chadster Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Black train will come back in September/October, Red train will go off.
Sportsdude360 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Took my first nightime ride on the Texas Skyscreamer tonight. I'll have to admit, this thing is much more un-nerving at night than it is during the day. Spectacular night time view of the surrounding D/FW Metroplex area, but you get the sensation your going to fall more intensely at night. Nightime on the Texas Skyscreamer is a whole different ballgame!
TexasThrillSeekers Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I loved riding TSS at night. It really does provide incredible views of DFW and the park.
eddie200330 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I loved riding TSS at night. It really does provide incredible views of DFW and the park. Yep...as long as you can keep your eyes open and enjoy the view...LOL
deathbydinn Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 What time does the early entry for gold pass holders begin?
TexasThrillSeekers Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 What time does the early entry for gold pass holders begin? 10 min. before park opening. So around 10:20 A.M.
angrynerdjosh Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I'm headed down this Friday or Sunday. Hopefully its not too busy or hot. A lot to ask for in July. This will be my first time to ride TSS.
BigBomer Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Me and a friend will be in Arlington at the park Thursday night, Friday and Saturday. It won't be my first time but I still have a few questions. -Where should we go first, and how should we attack the park? We won't have a Flash Pass. -Are there any place that serve food outside of the typical Six Flags food? -Are there any magic seats? -Is anything down or down to one train? Thanks
SingleRiderCam Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 ^ I also need answers since I'm going to the park on the 27th.
angrynerdjosh Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Thursday night will probably be the best time. I've never had to wait long on a Thursday night. Just waulk in and go counter clockwise. That way when you get to titan, ntag and LA vibora its later and even more cleared out. Batman will probably be the longest wait. Near the shockwave you can get panda express which for me is good at a park. The rice helps keep the stomach calm lol. If you view the park as a clock and the entrance at 6pm then panda is roughly at 1130 lol. As far as seats my wife said the front left of the titan is a must. At the mid course breaks it feels like you will fall out.
SingleRiderCam Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 ^ Thanks. But is there any park information for a Saturday?
deathbydinn Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 ^ Thanks. But is there any park information for a Saturday? I would just say to go in the order of the rides you want to do the most. The reason being, this is a park that closes a lot of rides in even a very light rain. When I was there last Thursday, we tried just going in a circle but a very short period of rain closed things for hours, so there were rides we wanted to get on that we couldn't. Most of the flats, Titan and Pandemonium will close in the rain and lighting will close anything that doesn't stay on the ground. It takes a very long time for rides to reopen as well, if they ever do.
SingleRiderCam Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 ^ Thanks, I will keep the information in mind the time when I go to the park.
BrandonR Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 ^ Thanks. But is there any park information for a Saturday? Yeah, don't go.
BigBomer Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 At the park right now, Texas Giant just threw someone from the ride. Section of the park is on lockdown.
hinklea Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Received a text about the same thing. Lots of Twitter traffic about it so far.. no media. Guest on the train reported restraint came open and a female guest fell out on the a turn. Update: Media on the way https://twitter.com/wfaachannel8/status/358383822783516673
robbalvey Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 Update: Media on the way https://twitter.com/wfaachannel8/status/358383822783516673 Tweet doesn't exist. Are there any actual news reports about this?
megametal Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 I just read that the Arlington PD have confirmed a death at the park.

Sammy* Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Wow, and I was just about to leave for a late night trip to the park. Terribly sad. I see changes coming to NTAG Edited July 20, 2013 by Sammy*
sfgam#1 Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Doesn't look good for RMC... My thoughts go out to the family of the victim. Edited July 20, 2013 by sfgam#1
