Used this app yesterday at Magic Mountain. It gives the ability to post and view current ride waiting times much like the Cedar Point ride app does. I also saw atleast four other people talking about wait times using the app while I was at the park.
Really hope this catches on as it can prove very helpful on what rides to hit quick and which to skip for later.
As for the Six Flags app. It's still installed on my iPhone, but it doesn't load the park maps anymore (which was about all it was good for) so it has since been deleted.

^Be thankfully the park has an access point period. The entire Walt Disney World property has a grand total of one access point with free Internet (at a hotel) and that is only a trial started in the last few weeks.
The app is crap. My phone suffers from a clogged network in crowded places, but when i was able to get on, it stated wait times for wahoo racers and other hh rides, and said IW was a 20 minute wait when it was a walk-on. I guess you cant expect much when they got rid of the boards with the times at the ride entrance.
^Not sure about Great America, but the employees down here love to mess with those apps. Nothing like seeing Carousel of Progress as a 2 hour wait and Soarin' listed as a walk-on when the wait time was 90 minutes.

I honestly don't remember. I'll redownload it next time I go. The major problem is, though, is I hacked my phone and for some reason when you do that your reception is weak, even outdoors. I'll usually have the "edge" network but no 3G once the park starts getting crowded so really I can only use the app when everything is still a walk-on.
I think the ride hopper app could be a great thing but it's up to us. I'm going to make a point this year of entering all my wait times. If we all do the same it will help us all.
i used this app last year was kind of helpful but not. most of the time people would enter a random wait time and it was just all messed up. If everyone who uses this site had this app and goes enough it could be a real benifit!
