yeah I'm going this Monday (June 2). we got out of school on May 29, which was cool because all the other schools get out sometime in June. I'm going to ride superman this time but probably won't when we go in July with my cousins and other family, if the line is real long. nice thing is the longer line on Superman should mean shorter lines on everything else. :D on yeah my brother wants me to ask you guys if they are still running one side of the Eagle backwards?

If you go when the Park gates open at 9:30, dj6, you should not have any problems with Superman's line. You should be able to hit V-2 and Batman after that as well. American Eagle is running its Blue train backwards, and its Red train apparently only runs during the weekends as of now.

Raccoon, I don't know when/if AE will run the Red trains during weekdays. Also, regarding June 10th, it depends on the weather conditions as well. There may be other school groups during the day, but the late afternoon/early evening should be alright.

I hope that when I go there there it isn't too crowded and the weather is nice so all of the coaster (cept DV of course) are open!

I think I must have gotten lucky, because I went on Thursday, May 29 and in the morning around 11:30, it was an hour wait with a breakdown, but in the afternoon, it was about a 20 minute wait. But I personally would wait 4 hours for Superman, I love that ride! The Pretzel Loop is awesome!! :lol:

So tomorrow it's supposed to lightly rain. Any suggestions as to what to hit first; as in which coasters might close if it sprinkles?? Also I would assume that since there's the possibilty of rain the amount of people in the park might be less? I hope we have a good day tomorrow. We're planning on either riding Superman or Raging Bull first. But apparently S:UF's line is shorter later in the day like 5-6 than at 11-12. I can't wait!!

You should hit V2 and Whizzer before it rains. Go on Superman first only if you get to the park early and get in the line before its 10. Or else go on it after 5. Hope you have a great day.

Also, say it rains earlier in the day and V2 closes. How long would it take to open back up?? Cus we're headin to the other side of the park first and workin our way around so V2 would be one of the last ones we go on. And also it was closed last year the day I went and I was so mad cus I really wanted to ride it (hey, but I got a ride on Deja Vu). I hope I get a chance on V2 tomorrow!

It all depends on how hard and how long it rains. I hope for your sake that it doesnt rain before you get to it.

when i go up to six flags this saturday my cousin is in a wheelchair so we get to go up the exits and we wont have to wait at all :D because that is what we did last year and i went on de ja vu 4 times without waiting but the only bad part is that you have to wait atleat 1 hour before you can get back on the same ride but oh well

It must have been an atypical day at SFGAm today, but there were a line of wheelchairs near many of the coaster Exits of people trying to get on the rides.

If they do need a wheel chair, that's fine. The people today seemed as if they were truly in need of a wheel chair. But, I'm sure there are also people out there who do it to skip lines.
