DoinItForTheFame Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 How did they end up getting the train over the Raven drop, since the crane didn't work? Pretty sure the crane worked just fine... That's why the train isn't still up there. Or... another strong wind came and just pushed it right on up and over.

TXThrillster Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 How did they end up getting the train over the Raven drop, since the crane didn't work? Like this lol ... sure it did, since the "crane" with the man in the basket didn't work initially.
jarmor Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 Well, I got two rides before the all hell broke loose Friday . . .
Sportsdude360 Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 At the park now. Joker closed due to high winds.
Superbatboy Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 At the park now. Joker closed due to high winds. So they're not taking any chances with these 4Ds now Wasn't the one at Great America also closed a few days ago for wind? I wonder if they'll re-consider purchasing more of these...
fiestatexasfan Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Last December I rode the one at Fiesta Texas in 25 MPH wind and it was insane. I'm sure they would not do that now though.
chadster Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 If you were planning a trip to the park in August, re-check the operating schedule as things have changed (reduced hours/days). Consider coming in October instead, more operating days added.
OmnipotentSeal Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 I was at the park for the first time yesterday and got to ride joker. It was unique and fun, but not worth a line any longer than 15 minutes. It is just completely outshined by some of the park's other coasters. (NTG, Titan, Shockwave). Speaking of which, there was a power outage yesterday morning that had all the rides closed until around noon. Is that frequent or normal?
Sportsdude360 Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 ^That is most definitely not normal! In,fact, I can't even remember the last time an outage like that happened. As far as Joker, you didn't specify as to which side you rode- green/purple. The green side is much more intense than the purple. Also, each ride on Joker is different than the last due to weight distribution having a profound effect on the car's spinning and rocking! I rode Joker 11 times on VIP Day and let me tell you that no two rides were alike!
OmnipotentSeal Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 ^I ride it on the green side once. I probably would have ridden it more if it were not a 30 minute wait in the single rider line and 45-60 minutes regular line while elsewhere in the park NTG had a 5 minute wait.
Sportsdude360 Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Yep, that's the best thing about new rides! They draw crowds away from the older stuff! Did you ride Riddler or Catwoman?
Jason Maier Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 So for those that have ridden Joker so far at SFOT . . . . does it spin as much as the other S&S 4D Flyers? (or do they all generally spin at the same rate)
OmnipotentSeal Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Yep, that's the best thing about new rides! They draw crowds away from the older stuff! Did you ride Riddler or Catwoman? Unfortunately no. Riddler had a long line that stretched out of the entrance, and catwoman broke down right before I rode.
aLFREd_25 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 I'll be in the park tomorrow for a few hours in the afternoon. We have some business in Dallas, so I figured, why not get in to try and ride my first S&S Free Spin, and probably try to get a ride on NTAG and Mr. Freeze as well!
Sportsdude360 Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Some shots I took of The Joker last night. Notice how the Joker signs light up at night.
Voyager6442 Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 A friend of mine and I are planning a visit on Friday, June 23. Could anyone make a guess about how crowded the park will be that day? How about the order in which to ride things? I was thinking possibly Shock Wave first since VR makes that line move slowly. Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks. I don't know much about the crowds, but I recommend doing Titan later in the day because it doesn't get that long of a line. Also, I don't think they are running VR on Shockwave. If you want to do La Vibora I would probably do that first. When I went I ate at JB's BBQ for lunch and it was pretty good for amusement park food.
Voyager6442 Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 In case anyone is interested: Would you please let me know whether Shock Wave has virtual reality this season? Thanks. Thank you for contacting Six Flags regarding your concern. They do have virtual reality on Shockwave this season Charmagne Jackson | Guest Recovery Supervisor Six Flags Over Texas| 2201 Road to Six Flags Drive | Arlington, TX 76011 O: (817) 640-8900 | | charTaylor@sftp.com

livai Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 from Batman to the joker, there is a great space for expansion
Sportsdude360 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 I'll be out at the park later today with some friends. Wednesday's usually aren't that crowded, so I expect to get in lots of rides on pretty much everything. Well, except kiddie rides of course!
cejackson Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 from Batman to the joker, there is a great space for expansion Expansion at SF parks is rarely about space, it's money and ROI. A bunch of the parks have prime non utilized space.
