Ok, so we arrived at the park at 5:15 with there already being about 12 cars there. They open the gates and we enter the parking lot. We are greeted with new signs as soon as we exit the car.
(All these pictures were taken on my camera phone, 1.3 megapixels, which may explain for decent quality)
Pulling up to SFGAm
Tickets to get into the park
Finally inside the park again, the carousel.
The new garbage cans.
A new mister thing.
Another misty thing.
Let's ride it!
We get to our first ride....
It is rather rough for Bull
Cycling the red train empty.
Then we rode Viper, it was an amazing ride, probably the best ride of the day.
Eagle's new entrance, crazy queue.
Now some Wiggle World!
Eagle's new queue area thing. It's very long and annoying, but RERIDES now (set up for it without exiting and re-entering)!
Then we rode this since AEB broke right as we got up there, so we left.
Just a random shot.
Then got on this awesome ride!
The queue line, boy was it long....
Then we something strange in the window....
It's That Guy!
Then got on this ride, just to ride it.
The awesome garbage can shot.
New posters!
Cool shot with the sun reflections
We then rode Demon and Whizzer, which then it came time for the Kickoff Party. All these next pictures are from that party. It was also inside the Spy Girl Stuntshow ampitheater
Hank Salemi, the GM of the park (kinda blurry).
New show, Spirit of America. It is rather good, I like the story of it.
And the Wiggles had a segment from their show too
That's it, two hours of ride time, rode plenty of stuff.

Universal Orlando Mechanical Engineer Marathon down, Goofy to go.
I happened to be there at the event when all the props were half-built. That was a very exciting presentation, something Six Flags used to do long ago. I wouldn't be surprised if you heard the words "Friendly, Clean, Fast, Safe" uttered over and over. And they were belted out enthusiastically.
As much as I miss the old American Eagle entrance, Wiggles World looks like a great kiddie area. If I were a kid again I would sure ride all of those rides. And the hot potato song had a peppy beat and rhythm to it.
"NO PROFANITY ALLOWED." High Time!! I happened to hear a lot of swear words uttered throughout the park over the years. And don't even get me started on the rides -- stoopid teenagers treating these words like mandatory vocabulary so they can have the time of their lives. Yeah, right!
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.
Hear ye, hear ye: "After 45 years, Six Flags has stopped smoking."
Quick question about Wiggles World. How does it all fit into place? By the look of some of the pictures, it seems like it is packed in there, with not much room.
If it walks like socialist, quacks like socialist, smells like a socialist, .... it's a socialist. Hope, and change we can believe in.
