Still 1 train as of Physics Day.

If X-Flight gets crowded tomorrow and/or gets a long line, can we request to a supervisor or ride op that they put the second train on the main circuit to speed things up a bit?

I know you haven't been around for awhile (me neither!) - but SFGAm doesn't typically have all of their trains ready for opening day like they had in the past, so obviously one couldn't request a train that isn't ready. This year seems pretty good though, with X-Flight being the exception rather than the rule.

ok ill say it its not a matter of just throwing another train on. all trains have work done going into the start of the season. if a coaster is running 1 train that means the 2nd one isnt ready yet. they would not run 1 train ops on opening weekend by choice.

Very last minute, but I will be attending my 4th opening day at SFGAm tomorrow. First ride of the season will probably be Viper. Nothing says welcome back like some kickass airtime!!

I hope everyone has fun this weekend! It's been a long offseason and the weather for the weekend looks near to perfect. I'll look forward to seeing many of you both Saturday AND Sunday!

Well like I have the voucher that I printed out online, but obviously season passes are way different this year, so it should be interesting how the whole process goes this year.

Good call, because they're letting cars park now, and they're literally hauling ass racing for spots
