I love pie Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 ^Head for NTAG and titan when you first enter the park. The right side of the park is usually dead, and NTAG and Titan can have really long lines. If you get hungry go to JB's Smokehouse. It's near NTAG, and has some really good food.

CoasterGuy06 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Something I was wondering after my visit: how long has Shockwave had seat belts? So from what I understand, the back two rows have always had seat belts, and the rest of the train added seat belts back in the late 80's. Crazy. I was wondering if they were added after the NTAG accident. Amazing to think Mindbender still runs lapbars only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 For anyone interested in seeing the Catwoman Whip at night. This video was shot by my friend Mike Burden. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 ^^ Wow that's an awesome lighting package on that ride. Thanks for sharing. Looks pretty much like a newer version of Spinnaker (Enterprise) with open seats vs. enclosed gondolas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 ^Yeah, that's pretty much what it is. Unfortunately, Mike's cell phone was low on memory when he shot this. But he still got some great video of that light package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Wow...CW looks great at night! Not sure if I could do this or not as the last Enterprise I went on made me a little ill...but given that it's so cool looking, I would probably still give it at least one try.

CaptainCrush Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 They really need to add pop song remixes made out of assorted "Meow"s as a soundtrack! Plus a Michelle Pfieffer animatronic would be pretty nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonR Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I've been sitting on a bunch of Titan footage not knowing what to do with it, so I slapped it together in this format. There's some nice shots of Titan at sunset! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I've been sitting on a bunch of Titan footage not knowing what to do with it PM all of it to LiftThrill. That's what I'd do with it, he loves this ride. It's his favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I'll be totally honest, it's actually fairly fun in the back car. There's a hint of airtime and no headache in those three rows. It also looks good and has a great presence at the front of the park. Maybe my tolerance for greying out just got bigger or something but out of the 5 rides I've had on it, there has now been one good one. I wish I had ridden it again that day to see if it was growing on me or if it was just a lucky seat. Firehawk is the new #last. I dont need more blood flowing into my neck. Also I love you coasterbill lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been since the new rides have been put in? It's totally different now. That side of the park is crazy. Even on light days. If you plan to ride Riddler without having to wait an hour, Gotham needs to be your first stop at rope drop. And I've not seen a long line on Titan in a long time. Usually only on busy days, when everything has a long line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I love pie Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 ^I've only been to the park after the new rides were built. Out of the 20 times I've gone to SFOT, there was only one visit where the right side of the park wasn't empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoup Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Planning to hit about 8 parks next year and to make it to them all I will need to do some before the summer. Looking at SFOT past schedules, they open for about a 10 day stretch in March with full hours--10am-10pm. During that March window how are the crowds on the weekdays? is it light like early June weekday crowds at most other SF's I've been to or is crowded b/c all the kids go during their school break?

Texascoaster89 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 It can get pretty busy with the Spring Break season going. Six Flags to me has become more of a "baby sitter" and this is most evident during Spring Break and when Summer first starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdcfan88 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I wonder when Judge Roy Scream will be replaced or fully refurbed. It could use the RMC treatment or a rebuild by GCI. When I last rode it back in 2013 it was quite painful to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboy Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Don't make any solid plans until the operating schedule comes out. They ran that second week of spring break last year because a handful of local school districts and schools in Oklahoma had a different break than most of the local districts. I don't believe that is the case in 2017 or at least not to the same degree as this year, so there's a good chance the park may only run one week. If they run 2 weeks, aim for the one that's opposite of when Arlington, Fort Worth, and Dallas are on break. I haven't been on Judge this year, but it got some attention last off season and I remember hearing that it was riding much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) ^ Sorry to disagree, but I rode JRS a couple of weeks ago. It's still pretty rough and almost no one was riding it. Most trains were being dispatched less than half full. I'm of the opinion that JRS' time is up. It should be removed and replaced with something better. An RMC woodie along the lines of Outlaw Run would be awesome. Edited September 14, 2016 by Sportsdude360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texascoaster89 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I gave it a spin this past Saturday. Before I continue...let me say that I loved the old Texas Giant and I love a good rough roller coaster. I sat in the back because I wanted it to give me all it had...it didn't disappoint! BUT! It is time for it go, it was so rough that I was laughing at how rough it's gotten when we pulled into the station. It was fine early last year after the re-track work they did...but it didn't last.

Genx24 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I rode the Judge for the first time back in April. I thought it was terrible and it didn't really have any redeeming factors. I'm usually of the opinion that parks should try and keep their classic woodies, but I wouldn't shed a tear if the Judge was removed. That's a nice plot of land for a potential replacement.

coasterbill Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 That's a nice plot of land for a potential replacement. It is, but it's also a weird plot of land and if they removed it there's a very good chance that they would just leave that plot of land vacant. Nobody would really notice and it wouldn't impact gate so it would be a nice cost cutting move for them. I'm just speculating but you can't pretend that wouldn't be a very "six flags" thing to do. Be careful what you wish for with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadster Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 It's still not as awful as Apocolypse, I have no need to ride that again until something major is done. There are still some spots on JRS that need some TLC, no doubt, but it's by far not the worst woodie out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
