SixFlagsOMA80 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Question for those that use MyPass to manage a family of passes. (Myself, kid and wife) is it me or is this site crazy glitchy and buggy ? Also if we all three have memberships shouldn’t each of us be earning points and not just one person?

Not true! You will pass some Waffle Houses on the way! I was excited to visit for FF but I broke my wrist and no casts allowed on Batman or Mr. Freeze, so bummed about that. I've spent 6 days at SFStL and only have two rides on Freeze to show for it. I am not sure if I can add to that upsetting statistic haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be 8 years ago, or 13 years ago. Neither, the last major investment was in 2015. The Justice League dark ride. You might not consider it major but they were extremely expensive rides to build. Easily several million dollars. Enough to have built a decent affordable coaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, you live literally in the center of the country and within a day's drive or two hour flight of nearly every park east of the Mississippi. Go somewhere else. You mean like Kings Island (6 hours), Great America (5 hours), Worlds of Fun (5 hours), Holiday World (3 hours), Mt. Olympus (6 hours), Kentucky Kingdom (4 hours), Silver Dollar City (5 hours), and Indiana Beach (5 hours)? What a terrible set of options...

Six Flags is on company owned land, it turns a profit, and it gets a new ride almost every year. It's only a perspective issue, because of your limited knowledge. You're flat out wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveStL Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Like I said earlier... in a word, simply put - Corporate does not hate our park, but it may look that way if you are a expecting a coaster every 3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacherkim Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Been out of the country for the last 10 days so just getting caught up. While we would all love a new coaster, I've always agreed with the stance that investments in the park that bring in the masses are better for the bottom line. For example many enthusiasts ignore the water park BUT the mom that has to sit all day while the kids ride stuff and she doesn't will notice the quality of the water park as that's where she will spend the day to relax and have a "pool" day. Multi-generational rides like JL, water slides, and the carousel are an investment and get a good roi for this particular park. We can argue all day about the demographics that make that reality, different for every park. Doesn't mean that corporate hates us or loves us, they do what's best for the bottom line. At some point we will get a new coaster, it just isn't a priority right now for park investment imho. As far as TW site goes, the boy says you are all crazy. He looked at it and there are no markers or any sign of anything happening there Zach, why does it take you 5 hours to get to SDC? Do you stop and eat rolls at Lamberts for two hours? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must just go across the bridge really slow while you are watching Eagles Four hours sounds about right from your neighborhood, unless you stop off at Fast Eddie's for a few beers and a basket of peel and eat shrimp first.

For the record that maze is WAY better than the last Camp Killamore attempt. The only time that was ever decent was when it used Hurricane Harbor facilities. I'm actually fine with there only being 4 3 mazes this year, staffing is seems fine to run 4. I was at Great America this weekend they have 6 mazes - in two cases I literally only saw 1-2 scare actors. And that's in a top tier park. Plus the Gates of Hell maze was just awful in general - they absolutely should have scrapped that one and had that staff spread out in the other 5 and it would have made the remaining mazes better. The 6th maze isn't helping spread the crowds out - almost nobody entered the Gates of Hell anyway (word gets around guys). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Is Insanity Alley (or I guess its called Night Terrors now) one that is not operating this year? If so, I'm surprised, being that it stays up year round. Also, I quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danrarbc Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Lighting has always been one of my favorite parts of Fright Fest. But I do believe they've upped their game to at least some degree this season. Figured I'd get a shot of the concrete pad Moon Cars' loading platform turned into. Wonder what they're planning for this. Edit: Nice to see Mine Train get some love for Fright Fest. Edited October 10, 2021 by Danrarbc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
