Memorial Day visit to SFA

Got to the park at 2:30 pm. Found the main parking areas full so had to park in the "spill over" lot behind the waterpark. Crowds were pretty big, but not shoulder to shoulder big.

Joker's Jinx- 10/10...(lead car, rear right seat)..gotta love this launch! Kept my arms up during the ride. love the raised arm choppers effects! The purple train is at the park, and awaiting for their wheel systems to be attached. Expect this train to be roaring to go by next weekend or the one after.

Batwing- 10+/10....(train 1..lead car,center right seat)..the queue never moved so fast as ever I saw before for this coaster. Two train operation and both sides open. Never had the wind knocked out of me during the helix from the intense g forces. thats why there is a plus after!

Superman- 10/10..(blue train..lead car, front left seat)..such a blast to ride this as usual...the shaking of the train has completely disappeared this time. airtime is bountiful!

Typhoon Seacoaster- 7/10..(fourth boat..front left seat)..all the water effects are finally on...never saw the water effects on before, but it really adds on to the ride. Got really wet at the end of the final drop. the ride lost points for slow queue and not using its max capacity of boats.

Roar- 10/10- (green train..lead car, front left seat)...love the speed,some pops of airtime, and turns! love this woody!

Minderaser- avoided this....I do not need a migrane headache!

Roaring Rapids- closed due to some kind of problem.

Shipwreck Falls- 8/10- (boat 2, rear row, far left seat)..great water ride to cool off from a hot day..lost points..wish this ride would be longer and make an adventure out of this ride!

The Wild One- 10/10- (blue train, rear car, rear right seat)...great out and back woody! love the lateral forces of the helix. Great airtime and beautiful steady speed!

Two- Face- closed to a problem on the second lift.

Left the park at 7 pm due to upcoming rainclouds.

Overall, i had a great time and got on all the rides i wanted to get on with waits of 30 mins, with the expection of THE SEACOASTER for a wait of a hour.
