Oh thanks RagingBullFan I never knew that

The "Trash Receptacle" sign has been gone since last year, but didn't notice the Eagle statue missing.

WHAT?! OH god! How else will people know? Who will warn them of the dangers of the EVIL Receptacle?!

Nice.

I forgot to mention that we got stuck on Cajun's lift for 15 minutes. I know the park employees are train to be super friendly, one reason why I could never work there, but the guy on the lift wouldn't shut up. When I'm stuck on a non-moving coaster in the cold wind, I don't want to hear about how cold the operator is. Here are 2 pics I, I would have taken more but there was no down time due to the lack of people so I got caught up in the fast pace of the day.

Great pictures of opening day! I would've gone today, but I had to take the ACT. I would go tomorrow, but there's an 80% chance of rain.

The eagle is removed over winter to protect it. Most likely haven't had time to put it back up yet.

Is that why Raging Bull's sign is different or is it a permanant change?

side note: are the pictures cut in half for anyone else or is just my computer?

Raging Bull's sign is not protected over the winter, the sign change is permanent.

Resize them and they will work. PHP forums are set so threads aren't "broken" by huge images.

Also...

-Picture of this random Fiero I found.

I know that car... :wink:

That now makes two PTR cameos...

I saw your car too haha :lol:

^SUF = Superman Ultimate Flight. I also hate when people say it's to cold to ride coasters.
I would have gone Friday, but I had school. I would have gone Saturday, but I had to take the ACT. I would have gone Sunday, but it was snowing and the park closed. I'm planning on going this Saturday though, and so far the weather looks perfect.

^Make sure you say hi in Hometown Square if you get a chance

by **traincrossing9** on April 7th, 2009, 4:20 pm

^Are you working there or just going for the day?

by **Demon_07** on April 7th, 2009, 4:25 pm

Working. My unit is Hometown/Southwest.

by **sfgamguy** on April 7th, 2009, 4:39 pm

Cant wait for Bucaneer Battle if the guns are moveable and u can spray people in ur boat and u feel water in the back of the head know its me

Were most of the flats open? For Friday, yes and no. Rides like Ricochet, and The Orbit opened later in the day, and they have been doing that for awhile during the non-peak season. River Rocker might have been closed. I wasn't paying attention to it even though in that area. There might have been more rides, but I'm not sure. I save a lot of flat rerides for the peak season when the roller coasters are 40 - more than a 1 hour long. The park doesn't open certain rides till later. Hometown Fun Machine is like the only flat ride not open either day though last week. People that I know where riding Sky Trek Tower, and were saying it was making strange noises.

by **Demon_07** on April 8th, 2009, 3:47 pm

^It sounded fine to me

by **demonbulleagle** on April 8th, 2009, 10:00 pm

^^ The "strange noises" were probably the cables banging on it from the wind, that's my guess.

I'll try and stop by as well. What color shirt will you be wearing? Kidding, what's your name then? I'll most likely be wearing my worn out brown hoodie that my dad hates but I love.

I have a couple of questions about my season pass as this is the first year I have one. I bougt it online so I still need to process it. Can I do that before the park opens or is the Pass Processing Center inside the park? Any good times to do it, like when it's not busy?

by **Ilovthevu'** on April 9th, 2009, 1:17 pm

I would think you would have to do it in the park. I would go there first in Hometown Square which is to the left of the Whizzer, near Triple Play (to the right of Triple Play), and right next to the Firehouse restaurant. I don't know if you are familiar with the park, but this area (Hometown Square) is one of the first areas after the entrance (carousel).

This area is on the right side of the park (Hometown Square). Don't go left after the entrance. Walk past the Go Karts (actual Go Kart on the sign on top), walk past a shop (Carousel something), walk past the Pictorium (on right), walk past the bridge, and you are in Hometown Square now.

^Thanks! Yes, i'm familiar with the park, just didn't know where the pass processing center because I never had a pass. I'll get it processed before I rush over to Viper and Raging Bull. Should be a fun day

by **Demon_07** on April 9th, 2009, 4:13 pm

You'll have no problem! You'll see a sign directly to the right of Triple Play that says "Pass Processing Center"

by **traincrossing9** on April 9th, 2009, 4:30 pm

Will it be open right when the park opens?

by **Demon_07** on April 9th, 2009, 4:32 pm

I would think so

by **traincrossing9** on April 9th, 2009, 4:57 pm

Well, you know how Six Flags is :roll:

by **FParker185** on April 9th, 2009, 6:39 pm

yep, eager to get every last cent they can, Season Pass processing will be open at the crack of the rope drop

by **traincrossing9** on April 11th, 2009, 9:05 am

Leaving right now (my family is slow), i'll be wearing my faded brown hoodie and light green t-shirt. Weather looks good so far!
