^I would say that their are a lot more season pass holders (and Gold members) than every other type of member, so when those start, it will get worse. Remember, gold members are the cheapest membership, and those people are only 2 hours after the other 3 sets of members group.

So what do you think the average wait time would be from 11-3?
^I don't know the statistics of those 3 types of higher memberships. I wish I knew. Just say, in the first 2 hours, it would be a 1 hour line. Than, within the next 2 hours (at 1 pm), it might jump up to 90 minutes. The season pass holders (and every other membership) I think are going to raise it up to 2 hours+. It's a guess. It could be a completely awful rainy all day, with no one showing up, & the ride is shut down. Who knows? From what I've seen, there have been awful FLOPS of membership stuff at the park. Maybe, all those members just weren't interested in it. Though, this is a brand NEW large roller coaster, and not just hang out in the waterpark event early on, on a colder day.
When you first asked about it, I thought everyone was going to be allowed to ride it at the same time (all the members / all the pass people), but it's tiered (I guess). So, thus I said, it COULD be 2-3 hours.
Some great people to ask would be as to what happened last year with the Ring of FIRE ride, and their tiered system day of memberships. I am not a member (season pass holder), so I don't know, and I never rode that ride (and will never ride that ride anyway). How long was the line for Platinum day membership line for the Ring of FIRE ride? And to me, those rides stink (Rode it before at carnivals. That's how I know. I also just want to clarify just incase Six Flags looks at these posts, I do not think all carnival rides stink. However, Larson Ring of FIREs, and that Harley Quinn ride at Six Flags Over Texas are terrible decisions / rides. Sidenote; if Frontier City wants to give us their Zamperla Power Surge for next year instead of Fiddler's Fling, I would LOVE it! Gimmie Gimmie. I will ride that thing every visit! I know. It's a million to 1 odds that the park would get that Power Surge, but I can always hope.), so this ride should be 4 times as important as that one, in my opinion.

You guys are also forgetting though that I would think most people still work on Wednesday. Maybe brute leaving early for a long weekend but I don’t think it will be that bad early when the park opens.
I'm very much looking forward to hearing a synopsis of the Maxx Force ride experience from those who are going to the commercial shoot tomorrow. Or a full-blown report. That would be awesome. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
Platinum, Diamond, and Diamond elite members will get the first two hours of the ERT on Wednesday, the Gold Plus members join in for the next 2 hours, then they will let in any general public that bought a Maxx Force clothing item during that day, and then they will finally let season pass holders in for the last 2 hours (lol, they really hate season pass holders now).
They say there isn't a spot in the park where rusting metal or peeling paint is at least 15 feet away from you.
Yeah I don’t think we’re going to see that long ofa wait on Wednesday. As for public opening yeah that’s going to be a 3 hour wait or longer for sure. I’m only going Wednesday night after work so hopefully the wait time won’t be too long.
Yes, a saw it test about 5 times when I was there. They added ceiling fans to the station and speakers are everywhere. The train zips through the last two inversions! Cool to see.
Lol so for everyone ALLOWED to attend while my bitter a** is walkin the pride parade, PLEASE send us your instagrams (if ya have em & are not private) so I can see any vids & pics y’all take during downtime & as always, tell us what you think of the ride!

Does anyone find it weird that this ride is based on F1 cars, and all these car rides seem to be based on different types of racing? You have Intimidator based on Nascar, Top Thrill is based on Top Fuel cars, and West Coaster Racers is based on illegal street racing. West Coaster Racers is supposed to be in "a LA-centric urban-themed area." Than, you have the Italian Job or now Backlot Stunt Coaster based on getaway cars.
For a year or 2, I was watching the F1 stuff, and it just seemed like the same 2 drivers won all the time. At that time, it was this person named Hamilton, and Vettel. To me, it just didn't seem very exciting even though they drive fast around the course. Now, I rather watch other forms of racing such as dirt off-road instead, or demolition derby, etc.
