Opening Day

[JimPanky]

Really they seemed thinner, lower, and angled wider. I didnt bang my head at all and I usually get it bad since Im pretty short.

I would like to bring something else up.
On May 3rd, right around 8:15pm near Guest Relations I could of sworn that I saw the park president Hank Salemi. I exited the park next to GR, yet I wasn't sure if it was him.
I didn't get a good look, but there was another guest having a conversation with him (if it was him) about Goliath.

Anybody see Hank either on the 3rd or 4th?

^You probably did. He walks the park. On top of that he is a big boy. Kind of hard to miss.

I should of said hi and thanked him for Goliath and XF.

Did the restraints on X Flight change so they don't get extremely tight?

In the summer you will see hank mainly in hurricane harbor he loves walking around there, at least that's what I noticed when I worked there a few years ago

I don't know, they still feel a little tight to me.

I felt that they weren't as tight anymore as they used to be.

I saw Hank too. Not the first time. He walks the park alot. Ive heard people compliment him and ask questions before. He is usually really open to interact with guests. Relatively quickly of course, he is a busy guy.

Being park president, I'm sure he's got many things to take care of everyday at SFGAm.

Yup he checked me out for a concussion once so that was fun haha

Hank is often at the gates as guests leave to end the night, saying thanks for coming. I have even seen him out sweeping up garbage by the entrance gates before the park opens for the day. Very visible and happy to talk with guests, as a good park president should be.

Cool, if I see him on my next visit, I will talk to him a bit and say hi.

Definitely do! We have talked with him a couple times and he is very friendly.

He is a nice guy. We were talking to him by Goliath while we were watching them put the support up.

Restraints on X-Flight remain unchanged from last year

I'm not big at all (weight and gut). Last year, Even I had trouble breathing waiting to come into the station. This year I got first ride of the season in Front Row, Right Wing and I was fine.

I sat next to you on the outside lol!

[CoastsToCoasters]

It felt like I waited for an eternity for security so did I simply miss it, or did they not have an opening ceremony as they do every year?! :/ I was really saddened that there seemed to be no big deal made at all. I know its just that lever they turn on to "fun" or whatever but there was nothing! Or was there? :/

[BURTONxBLUNT]

There was no opening ceremony this year....

[TwistedSTEEL666]

I wonder why? Cutting back on costs, or something else?

[Viper 88]

I especially don't like they cut the everyday welcome with the Looney Tnes characters that would be one of the first things that I would bring back.

[GoBears]

I was hoping for an opening ceremony too. Also, the last few times I've gone, I haven't noticed them playing the anthem before opening. Any reason to that?
