prozach626 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Can you even rent a campsite for $49? A typical $49/night establishment probably has hourly rates as well. "Have a Six Flags Stay." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jynx242 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 ^ and ^^ - Gave me a chuckle this morning so Thanks. On Topic - a hotel near a park will NEVER be at a $49 price point unless it is during the offseason and the park is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 You can rent a tent site at the KOA near Six Flags for $49 on non-peak dates. We do that pretty often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacherkim Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hmm. My survey put the price/night at $49. Are you sure you didn't misread that? My survey was giving two price points with varying amenities $249 and $299. Even the Super 8 near SFSTl was advertising $60 as their start at price. And it's probably a close contest as to what's more "rustic" the Super 8 or KOA Most theme park owned hotels range $200-$350 per night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilrider Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 You can rent a tent site at the KOA near Six Flags for $49 on non-peak dates. We do that pretty often. That was the rate we just paid for an RV site there this week. Nice to be only a mile from the park, and it’s a really nice campground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesk25 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Back at the park today, I have not been since April, the park is hopping like usual in 95** degree heat. Most rides by 2pm were around 10 to 15min wait, Boomerang was down looks like it shot the cable motor again, Tidal Wave is barren with no life, Thunder River is strangely down for refurbishment- anybody knows whats going on with that? Log Flume had a good sizable line with both sides running, though I believe one sides water chute was not working correctly. Super-girl was awesome for a first ride, really enjoyed it though it does not have a good zen moment like the old Enterprise, and the ride que needs major work with the shading aspect. Overall I enjoy my local park New membership service is open, no idea when they finshed They need more shade for the cue, with temps hitting over 110 this can be a hot spot. Late to the game but wanted to share my pictures of Excalibur. Love the random huge potted plant at edge of the log flume. Makes me wonder why they don't take out the asphalt in the corner and put a proper tree and plants there. Edited July 1, 2019 by jamesk25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing major, as far as I know it was a part that needed to be replaced. Just meant to say that it is on track to open soon, unless a new random issue comes up.

prozach626 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 the park is hopping like usual in 110/115 degree heat. Um. No? Phoenix is supposed to get up to 111 this week, so maybe you need to change your location on your weather app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix is supposed to get up to 111 this week, so maybe you need to change your location on your weather app. It was mostly running in the 95's on my weather app, I am just figuring for humidity and the overall blacktop "affect". But your right once it gets to Phoenix level heat than we can start flipping eggs on the pavement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFStl Fan Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Tidal Wave is supposed to reopen next season, but there is a rumor that plans have changed and it will be removed. We will have to wait and see. I like that rumor. Especially if it includes the addition of something shiny and new. Seems like the shoot the chutes are on their way out.

thisdougsforu Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Yep, rumor or not I've thought that ride was next to be on the chopping block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The one here at SFOT is already in the process of being deconstructed. Our train won't be running for the remainder of the season to make way for the cranes and other equipment coming in. My guess is yours is being removed too, possibly to be replaced by Green Lantern: First Flight from SFMM. SFOT already has an S&S 4D, so we won't be getting that.

SteveStL Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Unless our park plans on cannibalizing yours if it's the same model. Since this the worst possible scenario that could happen to Tidal Wave's Site, it probably will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Water pumps and other salvagable equipment has already been removed from Aquaman. It's possible those parts could be headed to SFSTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesk25 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Six Flags Fiesta Texas also removed their Shoot the Chutes back in 2017, theirs was an Intamin though. From what I see SFStl Tidal Wave (1991) is a Hopkins model as is SFOT Aquaman (1987) so parts should be cross compatible, but it would be a shame if Six Flags didn't take the opportunity to put a bigger ride (maybe a RMC Raptor Clone) their instead and would add further interest in that corner during the colder months.

Sportsdude360 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 ^The thing to watch for is construction fencing around Tidal Wave. They've already put fencing around Aquaman in preparation for it's deconstruction. If no fencing around Tidal Wave then it's probably just a refurbishment. If fencing does appear at some point, then it's a fair bet the ride is on it's way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouscactus Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I'm going to be going to the park on the first Friday night of Fright Fest at the end of September. I've never been to the park before, and they have very limited hours (6p-11p). I probably won't do any of the haunted mazes even though I get a free wristband w/ DE because all of the six flags mazes I've ever been through at various parks have been terrible. And it would probably eat up to much time on a shortened day at a new park, and I'd have to buy a band for my wife who has a regular Six Flags pass instead of a membership... unless anyone can convince me otherwise that their haunts have better standards than the rest of Six Flags - What is the best order to get on all the major coasters if I go at opening? I don't care about Boomerang, and I'd wait to ride a Batman clone until I've ridden everything else. - if you had one ride to use a skip the line pass on, what would it be? What typically gets the longest line that is a must-do? - Is there anything unique besides the coasters and Justice League that are must-rides? - Is their spinning coaster (pandemonium?) a unique layout? The picture I saw it doesn't look like the others, even the trains look very different, but I could be wrong. - Best place to use the dining plan? If I even bother eating... we will probably do that before the park to save on time. Thanks for any advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
