SFA Trip 2 On A Warm and Partly Sunny Mid 70’s 5-1-04.

I got picked up by my buddies at 9:31am. We arrived at Six Flags America around 10:53AM.. As we were waiting in the line ride SROS the mechanic said that the ride will bet temporarily delayed. . I notice that the Blue train on SROS was missing back seats.

After they take off one of the trains we rode it in the 1st row. So after doing 2 flights on Superman Ride Of Steel we headed for JJ Joker’s Jinx and it is back up and running so we rode it in the 1st row. Now we are going to lunch break at Pizza O’eight and the line were long and they had to make more pizza because it was going fast. Pizza O’eight was doing a booming business. SFA has added remote boats in front of the ship and the cost is only .75 cents.

After a bite to eat we took a ride on Roar in the 1st row. Then we took in a flat rides on High Seas ,Flying carousel, Tower of Doom & Octopus. As we where waiting in the line the ride operator couldn’t get the ride going so we left the line.the next ride we rode a ride on Two-Face The Flip Side is back up and running. So we rode it in the 1st row. Then we headed for a coaster ride on Wild One and rode it in the 1st row.

Typhoon Sea Coaster is still down and I ask the ride operator on if the ride will be opening this season. The ride operator said that Typhoon Sea Coaster might open Saturday May 8th. So after a ride on Wild One we headed for PBR Penguin’s Blizzard River.
Then we a attempted to ride Batwing and while standing in the line they were having trouble getting the seat to recline correctly.. So the Mechanics had to get the Seats row by row done by hand. We waited for about 2 hours then left the lines.

We are going to take a dinner break at Crazy Horse Saloon. After a dinner break we went back to see if Batwing & SROS was back up and running. As we got down there one of the ride operator said that both SROS & Batwing were down.

So we ended our day with 1 ride on Tower Of Doom row at night on Wild One. Doing 4 laps on Wild One makes up for Night flights on Batwing & SROS. We also rode Mind Eraser. We also took a 2 rides on the Great race were while waiting in the line we saw a family got on the ride on the exit.

Roar 1 Lap

Wild One 5 Laps

Two- Face 1 Lap

Mind Eraser 1 Lap

Joker’s Jinx 1 Lap

When I went everything was closed, the worst experience at a park to date. Sounds like you had a pretty good time though.

Hrmm sounds like my experience there SFOG....I went and got on 2 rides. I paid $30 for the ticket...so lets see, basically I paid $15 for each ride. That place was horrendous. My previous experience there two years ago was pretty bad and the one last week was even worse.

I was with him on that trip & unlike our opening weekend experience where nearly all rides were closed most of the rides were running.

I posted my trip report just a few threads down from this one last night & included some of the highlights & details that we experienced during our day at the park....including a rather funny incident involving the on-ride camera on Roar so go check it out & feel free to post a reply or two.

I just hate it when I post my TR's & nobody bothers to read them,let alone reply to them.
