RollerManic Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Anyway, I'll be down there first full week in March and maybe going on the 9th. It's the day I leave but should be able to stop by. Curious to see if it will be busy that day. Any ideas if some schools will be on Spring Break that week? I would like to know this too, please.

RollerManic Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I would have also liked to have known what crowds would be like in general, because the park is open all week long, so there must be a demand somewhere that warrants that.

bert425 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Everyone please take pics of the joker or If you already have some please post on to here for six flags over texas discussion thread. Thank you. until the ride is running, there really doesn't seem much point to keep asking the same question over and over. all you're likely going to accomplish is being on more people's ignore lists, and then less folks will respond. I'm being kind to you, as I don't know your age, situation, or anything else you might have going on. . . but continuing to ask the same question over and over is really going to rub some people the wrong way, and instead of making friends you might be robbing yourself of that opportunity (if you're on ignore, they won't see your posts at all, and that's a potential friend gone without you even knowing it). really.. check out the rest of TPR, there are tons of other topics, and lots and LOTS of trip reports, that have many pictures of coasters.

SFoT is open all week due to the spring break time in Texas. . but since Dallas and Ft. Worth (the largest cities close) are not on break until the week of March 13, I'd expect the park to be very manageable, tho expect operations to likely not be great (since they are just bringing back the majority of employees after the long break). Other large Texas Cities that have schools on Spring Break the week before, typically wouldn't do a schlep to SFoT (Houston likely would go to Galveston for Pleasure Pier, or San Antonio for SFFT. . both much closer than a road trip to Dallas/Ft. Worth). just my 2cents. .tho others who live in the SFoT area can give you a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixflagsfans3793 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Good morning everyone!! Starting today we are going to give trivia questions that y'all have to answer and whoever gets it right will not have to answer the next set of trivia questions.

DoinItForTheFame Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Good morning everyone!! Starting today we are going to give trivia questions that y'all have to answer and whoever gets it right will not have to answer the next set of trivia questions. No, no we are not. If I had to guess I'd bet every single question, or 99% of them, would be related to Joker, and when it is going to open, or if they have made any more progress on the "operators booth or control room." If you're really wanting some games to play, go check out the Random, Random, Random thread on here. There are tons of games for you to play there!

Every time that we go the lines are either moving fast or not long, really short, so ya it would not slow the dispatches down unless like if a lot of people like vr and then there will be long lines on both.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark on this one and guess you've never experienced VR on a coaster?? The 4 VR coasters I've been on always had ridiculously awful dispatches.

Like, 5-15 minute dispatches per VR train. Yes I have. We have been on the superman at sfft be but it was pretty fast when we went. I like be on the coasters but then again probably slow dispatches as you said. I will get on another vr coaster which will probably be shockwave since we had a nice experience last time. The only thing that I didn't like was that you had to hold really right or tie it tight because it would go up and down like move throughout the ride but hopefully shockwave' s vr will be better and stay on your face without moving throughout the ride, but it might be the motion of the ride that was making it move. What I mean is all the movement the ride was downing like going upside down. Who knows because you never know.
