A SIX FLAGS DAY! 5/2/2010

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby DejaVuGurl1203 on May 2nd, 2010, 6:08 pm
I am actually in the park with Galvan today! Today has been really awesome so far! I got a few re-rides on BTR, so awesome. I'll post more later, but I just want to say that today I saw several things that I did NOT know about on Opening Day, including track... Awesome stuff. I'm really glad I came today even though I am supposed to be studying for finals. We've gotten a lot of rides in so far, and we still have about 2 hours left.

One complaint though... I'm kind of shocked that Bull still only has 2 trains and Eagle only 1. At least they got the second train on SUF and Whizzer, but our second time on Eagle was a long wait because of the 1 train.

I am wearing my Dominator shirt, and a few employees noticed.

Man, I need to come with other people or Galvan more often... my fiance is way too whiny and tired when we come here! LOL.

2 on Bull is fine for now. 1 on Am. Eagle is fine, there isnt much of a line (atleast the 2 days ive been there) S:UF needs 2 trains, as its the parks 2nd most popular ride.

I went today just for an hour or 2 to get my pass processed. 1 Train on AE is not fine. It turned a 15 minute wait into a 35 minute wait.

American Eagle slowed down later in the day. It was moving painfully slow. Even though the lines never seemed to reach past the stair area, it still took a while to get moving. Front row first time for me today on Blue!

Today was just amazing. A Six Flags day indeed.

Bull: 6
BTR: 6
AER: 7
Viper: 3
SUF: 2
V2: 1
Demon: 1
Giant Drop: 2
Ragin Cajun: 1
TDK: 1
King Chaos: 1
Whizzer: 1
Total: 32

It was surely more crowded than opening day, but somehow I got on a lot more today. BTR a bit later in the day, I rode 3 times without moving. AER before closing, we rode 5 times without leaving... AMAZING!!! After Eagle, we ended the night with Bull... we got to re-ride it once, and then since we were 2nd to last train, they actually let us go again! So 3 rides without getting off. That was an amazing way to end the night.

And yeah, one of the times we went on Eagle about mid-day, line was almost to the stairs and we waited a whole hour. It was pretty bad. But honestly, it was SO worth it, because that was the first time I'd ridden in the back row in a long time. Eagle was running SPECTACULAR today. Oh yeah, and one of the times we rode it, when we came to the last little helix, there was a squirrel hopping along on the rail!! I found it funny!

Man, today was probably one of the most fun times I've had at SFGAm in quite a while... crazy.

By the way, guys, Galvan is actually a very nice guy in person. :) Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Yep, I saw it every time. You just have to turn around when going up the lift hill. I also could see it from Giant Drop. I thought I saw a support or two also, but have no idea.

Well, that explains a hour wait. You have 4 possible trains for the ride, and they are using what, one side, and one train on that day?

Well, no. One train on both sides. Still an hour for each side in the middle of the day.
