chadster Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 ^They don't? Wow, but then again SFSTl really doesn't have any single rider lines at all do they? SFOT has four and they do make a difference, I've never waiting more than a few minutes on rides with a SR line. ^^Agreed, it was an afterthought. They were originally making people pour drinks out before getting in line, but with the heat that's not practical. So the solution for now is pour your drinks out in buckets before you enter the A/C building.. Give them time though, I think a permanent pour your drink out here station is on the horizon, but as far as a leave your drink here station goes, I wouldn't expect to see it.

aeyrolet Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I've seen that the park's train now has a hold up at random times during the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykethekid Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm not one to complain about amusement parks as they are hard to run, but this trip I just took was possibly the most disappointing experience of my life. Mainly on part of the staff. They were so incredibly rude and slow, it was horrible. An op at Titan was trying to tell a lady to put her bag somewhere else and the op said "use yo brain woman, but I doubt you got one" In one of my drinks a peice of the soda machine nozzle was in it! That plastic thing was so gross. The lady who have us a drink more than likely lnew what happened because she gave us an odd look. She then walked away giggling. So much else happened like that it made me insanely mad. I was going to spend the rest of today there but we left to go back to wichita. I honestly don't want to come back because I know nothing will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager6442 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I’m planning a road trip that includes the following stops: Six Flags Over Texas Sunday and Monday, June 14 and 15, 2015; Six Flags St. Louis Thursday, June 18, 2015; Silver Dollar City Friday, June 19, 2015. My main interest is in the coasters. If anyone would like to meet up for some rides, please let me know. Thanks.

LiftThrill Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I went today and weather wasn't great but it shortened lines. A bunch of rides were closed for about an hour around 2PM and after that lines sort of vanished (hint: use these ride closures to get meals). We got in relatively early but due to random rain the original plan changed quite a bit. I'll get a Photo TR once I'm home since this was just day 1 and I'll probably post some random daily updates in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Went to SFOT for the first time yesterday and a couple hours the night before. Ride count: NTaG: 31x Freeze: 17x Titan: 4x Superman ToP: 4x Shockwave: 3x Runaway Mine Train: 3x Pandemonium: 2x JLBFM: 2x Judge Row Scream: 1x La Vibora: 1x Log Ride: 1x Raging Rapids: 1x Runaway Mountain: 1x Train: 1x Batman: 1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadster Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Shockwave only 3 times? SMH. Seems as if you liked Texas Giant, don't blame you there, and although there are newer RMC's that now top it, it still delivers great airtime and rides like it did on opening day.

Password121 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 ^You must have really made great use of a platinum flash pass for those kind of ride counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 ^ Yep. I wish I had gotten 31 rides on NTaG. I actually liked it better than Iron Rattler due to its length and boatload of airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboy Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 ^You must have really made great use of a platinum flash pass for those kind of ride counts. Can't speak for him, but with scattered light rain all day, the park was probably dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Just visited SFOT a few days ago for the very first time! Rode everything once. Highlights: NTaG was awesome! That airtime hill after the 3rd overbank is insane, length is great, but I still prefer IRAT. Mr. Freeze was much better than I was expecting. Texas Sky Screamer was terrifying. Justice League was great. The park was clean. Honestly the park is really missing a big looping coaster such as a floorless B&M. Hopefully the park gets something soon to fill that. The only thing that bugged me was the staff. Some of the worst operations I have experienced at an amusement park. They were lazy, slow, and just looked miserable. I witnessed 6 minute dispatches on NTaG. Overall it was a decent visit! I will definitely go back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerManic Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I wouldn't say shortage unless we are talking about SFA or SFM. Two B&Ms, both incredibly forceful, is pretty good. Yes, I am classifying Titan as a B&M, since it uses the same track and Giovanola had relations with B&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the same track and all, but the layout isn't really B&M's style. When I think B&M hyper (closest B&M style to Titan), I think clamshell restraints and out and back with floater airtime hills. SFOT is still in more dire need of an Intamin than a B&M, I'll give it that. Because La Vibora is too much of a novelty coaster to count as a normal Intamin.

DoinItForTheFame Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 NTaG was awesome! That airtime hill after the 3rd overbank is insane, length is great, but I still prefer IRAT. I will never be able to understand why people prefer iRat to NTG... iRat just bores me. NTG is... relentless, its.. AMAZING!!! It's neat to see how each person views each coaster differently.

I will never be able to understand why people prefer iRat to NTAG... iRat just bores me. NTAG is... relentless, its.. AMAZING!!! It's neat to see how each person views each coaster differently. Iron Rattler is far from boring, but I agree on NTaG being better. Iron Rattler is missing the high positive G that you get between hills on NTaG, and it doesn't last nearly as long. Although the first drop on IRat wins and so does the setting, but as for the coaster itself I prefer NTaG. I also find NTaG more rerideable.

miketeavee Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Visited for the first time today. I think I might be the only person to be slightly underwhelmed by NTaG... It's still a fun coaster but I found the pacing to be kinda dull and monotonous. It has airtime but not much more than that going for it in my opinion, and it's hard to enjoy when you're stapled anyway. I also found it to be kinda slow in general... This could be because I was on Outlaw Run only a couple days ago and Twisted Colossus a week before that, so my RMC expectations were high. Other than that it was a pretty brutal day at the park - little relief from the heat and dismal operations, but I expect that from six flags haha.

Rattler destroyed any hope for Texas Giant for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
