PTR SFGAm 5-8

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby tribar on May 8th, 2011, 4:43 pm
We got to the park around 9:40

Image

Pulled into the parking lot. The waterpark expanison actually looks cool :o

Image

Went straight to RB Back row. We then went back around and did it again. They had someone assigning rows but he asked if we had preferred any row. Then we hit AE:R (Which despite what someone said was running both red trains)
Image

Image

Rode that two times as well. They opened up Blue Side as well later on. The wait was pretty short both of the times. They had the "Great America maybe a great day is just what you need this year " song playing
We then just roamed around the park a little until we got to Dark Night. It is so nice not having the preshow. Rode it 3 times ad got on n about 10 minutes each time. Superman had a "90 minute wait" :roll: so we skipped it even though by the look of the line im thinking it was somewhere from 45-60 minutes. We then got our passes processed and waited in a 25-30 minute line for that. We then went to do B:TR which was about a 10-15 minute wait for the front row. We then left the park for the day
Overall it was good to be back and can't wait to go back again (hopefully next weekend :lol: )
PS Only superman had a wait time sign (although i saw Dark Nights in the station) how come the rest of the rides didn't have theirs out

Superman usually has a long wait no matter what, other than that what were the other wait times later in the day for Raging Bull and Viper?

Superman was definitely at least 90 minutes. The second train is still in rehab and the line was to the entrance.

I don't know i didn't go back over there sorry. You would have to get a good look at the queue because there wern't the signs not that there reliable anyway

PS i also rode Rajun Cajun once via the single riders line which was about a 10 second wait. The normal line was probably about 20 minutes

Jim Reid-Anderson didn't really find the point in it and let it be cut. You can still stay and watch it if you want. But you can bypass. And if you didn't know, Jim is working at the park full time, his office will be at GAm, so when you're there you should look out for him.

The pre show removal was a given one day. Who is Jim again? They should play old Batman episodes either those from the 60's or the animated ones instead of that lame pre show.

You can actually go talk to Jim if you want to. His office is right above the pass processing center. Me and David were thinking about it, but we figured we'd save it for when the rumors really start popping up.
P.S. Whatevers coming to the park next year, is going to be BIG. (The dip n' dots guy told me)

He's there full time. Thats where his office is. His family is in Chicago, so instead of commuting to Texas for meetings and stuff, he's stationed at GAm.

He's the new CEO.

^ I'm hoping in addition to whatever new ride(s) we get, him seeing American Eagle every day will compell him to finally give the ride a complete repaint.

Yes and no. They painted the red and blue parts, but not the supports.
