I'm most likely going on opening day. My parents will only take me if the weather is decent, so I'm really hoping it won't rain that day. I'll definitely be heading to SUF first, then I'll go over to ride RB. I'm gonna try to ride every coaster except SSR. I'm gonna try out the very back on SUF, Deja Vu, V2, and Demon. I'm probably also gonna try DareDevilDive. This roller coaster withdrawl has just been a big pain for me, lol. It will be great to be back!

Well I am going Opening Day. I definalty hit Superman first, then I don't know, but probably Deja Vu ( if it is open), then maybe V2 or Raging Bull,. But I will definalty hit Viper. That ride is AWESOME. I love that ride!!!!! I will go on all the rides at least once, except SSR. Then of course I will hit my favorites more. Hopefully it isn't crowed. I have never been there before on opening day.

I'm definitely going opening day. As well as last year, this year 9 friends and I got a hotel room and we're going down there Friday afternoon and staying through Sunday night. We had such a blast last year, it was awesome. Me and my friend Erin (ragingbull_lover) are gonna get up at like 6 AM and walk across the street to wait for SUF. We're just a *tad* excited. Then I'm sure we'll do front row Raging Bull and front row V2, followed by Viper, etc...Hopefully we'll get on everything (including the flats).

I'm not going opening day. I was going to, but then i decided to not renew my season pass. So, instead, I'm going on the 7th for physics, and later in the year. I'll probably pick up a cheap season pass in Ohio in June, though.

T_Biggs... pick up a cheap pass at Wyandot Lake. $49, near Columbus. Or you can pay an extra $10 and get it at WoA.

I would, but its going to be a complain getting to SFWoA the way it is. Someone traveling with me has forgotten it's my trip, not his... I'll get to SFWoA, though, one way or another, even if I have to listen to someone who is mad because I'm taking back what is mine. (Long story short, he wants baseball and rock and roll hall of fame, I want SFWoA and rock and roll hall of fame. It's my graduation present, so it's obvious which I'm demanding be done.)

Travis.You might want to call SFGAm and find out if you can still purchase a parking pass if you have a SFWoA season pass.I heard that the park wont sell you a parking pass if you have a season pass from another SF park.If they wont sell you one, it would be more cost effective to buy the season pass here.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

Parking isn't that much of a problem. I don't go enough to make it worth getting a parking pass, anyways. I'll probably go there twice this year, once for school and once with family, maybe once with friends. In any case, parking won't be a problem, because only twice I'll have to chip in.

They will sell you a parking pass becasue last year I had a MM season Pass and had no problem getting one. Anyways I already got my pass this year and they say Six Flags Theme Parks not they name of the park that it was bought at, and Superman is on it.

Did this policy change at all the SF? Because I kind of want to do the same thing. Get a pass somewhere cheaper and buy a parking pass at the park nearest to me.

Well I'm hoping to ride the Vu, but I doubt that'll be open. I think I'll be running to Raging Bull.

If it's open, probably Ragin' Cajun. If not, Vu or Raging Bull. I guess it depends if I'm meeting up with anybody.

I never plan what coaster I will ride first. my friends and I enter the park, line up at the chains, and decide just before running. its chaotic, yes, but quite the rush.

I'm hoping to go opening day.
If I do, I'll do S:UF first, then run to V2. I havn't ridden V2 since last May, because it was closed every other time I was there last year :roll:

See, I thought that by going to SFOG and BGT, that it would make this last month before May 1st go by fast. Well, it actually made it a little bit longer as I'm more anxious to get back to a familiar park. :D
Finally Coaster Season!!

I have never riden' deja vu. It is a pain in my side. Last season i made it my life's mission to ride this coaster and i still havent.
Because once it took me the whole day to convince my friends to go on it. and we ran there from V2. (Which wasn't a fun experience) and when the ride was in sight a lady walked out of nowhere and closed the gate. i was like two steps away! ugh.
Another time. I was actually in the station and my ride was begging me to go. And then it broke down so everyone basically pulled me out of the line. (literally).
The rest of the time i've been there it was closed or the line was in Hometown Square, when i passed it.
So if this coaster is open i'm going. If it's not i'll probably check out stargate and all the other new things. i.e. ragin' cajun. And it helps that superman (One of my favorites) is in that area too...

They send the line down south, so it would literally have to wrap around the park to be in Hometown Square.

Ok whats known about my May 1st 2004. I'm going to get to Six Flags Great America at 8-8:30am, then at 9am be the first at metal dector # 9 (Jemma :wink:)

Plans for my May 1st 2004 are...

Plan A:
Right at 9:30am when the gates open I will run to the Orleans Place bridge and wait till 10:00am. Then when the chains drop I will run...errr sprint (if allowed to) to Ragin Cajun and be one of the 4 first "GP" riders :lol: and then enjoy the rest of my day.

But if the "new rides" are not open I will do...

Plan B:
Right at 9:30am when the gates open I will run to Superman Ultimate Flight and be the first in line. I will get the first Flight of 2004. Unlike last year :cry:. Then I will enjoy the rest of my day.

Comon May 1st :D

DejaVuGurl1203 and Me are in the same situation. My parents only said if the weather is ok. If I do go here is my plan.


My Plan A: My friend and I will Ride all the new rides first. Then we will "Take on a Phenomenon" and ride Deja Vu. Then pick up from there.

If the New rides are'nt open then:

My Plan B: My friend and I Ride Deja Vu and then pick up from there. We ride Deja Vu first because Deja Vu is our Favorite Roller Coaster EVER.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu
