Also The Single Rider lines for New Texas Giant, Batman, and Runaway Mountain were added just last month so they decided to take them all out.

Every. Single. Rider. Line is gone. They added this rail at Giant last month to seperate stairs for single riders. It was for nothing. I walked by all of the single rider line rides that had it. Donezo. Edited April 10, 2022 by TallShortstop Deleted picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallShortstop Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 The first day of operation for Giant, Runaway Mountain, and Batman Single Rider lines was March 12. Not even a month. They made those rails and signs for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallShortstop Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Did anyone notice what happened tonight about 15 minutes before the park closed? Security shut down the whole area of Gotham City and Boomtown at about 6:45 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallShortstop Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I was just on Mr. Freeze shortly before this happened. One train got stuck in the launch tunnel and they shut down. I left for a little bit and fire engines were going inside the gate next to Batman towards Mr. Freeze. Shortly after they shut down Mini Mine and Mine Train as well as all of Gotham City. I don't know what happened but apparently the problem stemmed from Mr. Freeze and Arlington Fire Department logs (pardon low quality photo) show a Fire Department Assist to SFOT at 6:46 pm just 14 minutes before park closed (same time all this happened). I don't know what happened but Mr. Freeze may just have been added to the long list of SFOT rides on the fritz. Hope everyone is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallShortstop Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Mini-Update/Review incoming: For anyone wanting to go to SFOT this weekend they are open Friday-Monday but with massive holes in their rides lineup. The following rides are (probably) closed: Judge Roy Scream (Retrack? : down for weeks) Rodeo (Speelunker's Cave area construction) Titan (Lift hill chain broke : 6+ months and counting) (Giovanola went kaput so it's hard to get a ride-critical part like a lift hill chain) Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast (Spontaneous combustion) Pandemonium (unknown but closed all last weekend with blue tarp on top lift hill motor) The Joker (unknown problem but only operated 1 day in last 3 weeks so problems? That 1 day had 3 breakdowns in 45 minutes when I tried to ride) Harley Quinn Spinsanity (Closed all last weekend) Batwing (Some planes taken off arms) All Single Rider Lines are out for good it looks like too so it's about to be the queue line wait times from hell. I heard that people were abusing Single Rider line by demanding the Station Attendant put their group together while going through Single Rider lines. $199 season-long Gold Flash Pass looking like a solid gold purchase right now. I'm not dogging Six Flags at all. It's understandable that everyone got rocked with Covid money losses. The Dark Horse rides are Shockwave and Batman. I went on Saturday and waited at most 15 minutes for Shockwave during peak hours at 4:00. Batman is so ridiculous how short the wait time is (high capacity : 32 riders per cycle). The ride had a station wait at 4:45 on a Saturday! I was shocked. Six Flags Over Texas is a fun park but caution to the wind of any first-timers as lots and lots of rides are down.

Giovanola being out of business has little to do with getting a replacement. I'm sure the park will say "supply chain issues"...but at a certain point that excuse can't fly anymore.

michaellynn4 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Rodeo and Harley Quinn were both removed from the park map. Wonder if this is an indicator about both of their long term statuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWolfman Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Yeesh, really glad I postponed my first visit to this park that I was supposed to take this weekend. No Mr. Freeze would have sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Website park map has the ride photoshopped out and IOS and Android apps have the ride as LABSICS: CLASSIFIED. Either one of three things. Staffing, mechanical, or no one rode it. During the most crowded time on a Saturday I've seen Harley Quinn ride operators waiting for people to show up to actually run the ride. Main queue had 0 people waiting sometimes.

Natalie2560 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 When does Pirates of Speelunker’s Cave open? Is it soon? "Early 2022" isn't specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it's hard to say. They were going to open Pirates sometime in April, but I'm not sure if that's still possible. I'll see what I can find out this Saturday when I visit the park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not within the next 2 weeks but for sure before Aquaman. They've done a lot with the queue line for Speelunker's but there's no telling with inside the ride.
