I just want to know if the line wait was over two hours for Superman on May 3rd? Average:2-4 hours?

by **stolen_starz** on May 6th, 2003, 5:26 pm

I do'nt know for SURE but I went on may 4th and we went on it around like 1 in the afternoon and we only waited about an hour and a half and then the 2nd time, we went around like 6:30 or so and it was only a 15 minute wait!! at the end of the day it's really short on all the rides. i am hoping it's like that the sunday after prom!

don't count on it, wait till summer comes......................... :wink:

Well I heard the line got out to the bumper cars...and it was still just about 1hr 15 min. Because each train can hold up to about 32 people (I believe) And runs 2 trains. The ride is pretty short and loading is a bit fast. But I wasnt there yet, so I am not to sure about what all I said..

SFGAm should have SUF running a 3rd train, call up B&M and ask for it, how hard can it be? hoe long do U think the lines will get during the peak of summer?

What good would a 3rd train do? The coaster is only 2800ft long and has 1 station house. If they had a 3rd train, the ride would constantly stack which means no better capacity.2 trains is sufficient for this coaster just like Batman:TR and Iron Wolf.

I really don't see how that is possible. We waited in line and it was just outside of the queue house about 30 ft and it was an hour and a half wait at LEAST so how the heck was it only an hr 15 from the bumper cars, i'm sorry, but i don't see that being possible. it can't be. not with the time we waited. and i agree, 2 cars is just fine. there isn't enough time to run 3 cars with loading and unloading time, it would cause the cars to stack and cause MORE chaos.. raging bull is the only one that is suitable for 3 cars because the track is so long and loading time is pretty short. there is enouhg room even if 2 cars did happen to come in to the station and they hadn't let another train go. raging bull is a relatively long ride and the time in line is surprising short when they run 3 cars

Ill have to agree with Joker, everyone I talked to said around an hour and a half. It took me about 30 minutes at the end of the night on opening day.

most i waited for it was 1 hour 45 min.s but three main attractions were closed at the time so that could be the reason.

by **TwistedSTEEL666** on May 6th, 2003, 6:31 pm

3 main attractions...........I know RB was closedDeja Vu tooBut what else was closed?

by **Chitown** on May 6th, 2003, 6:37 pm

Raging Bull was only closed for a few hours (due to the incident) and V2 opened up around 5 pm.The only coaster closed all day was DV.

by **SfGaMownz** on May 6th, 2003, 9:10 pm

V2 is the other "major attraction."I didn't see S:UF out past Condor at all. When I waited thats where it was and I only waited about 1 hour and 15 mins. I was surprised at how fast the line moved.

by **coasterswimgurl12** on May 6th, 2003, 10:42 pm

actually, it want bad.....on openeing day I got on Superman in 30 min...and that was right when it opened...and after that the line was still pretty fast, but not quite as fast as Raging Bull

S:UF lines were about 1 hour and a half. S:UF cant have a third train like the others said because of stacking. It works out perfectly with two trains. If they wanted a third train like S:UF in SFOG has then there would have to be another station just like the one in SFOG has. SFGAm didnt think it was necessary for three trains and besides the second station would have costed then another million dollars. People that Ive talked to that go to SFOG a fair amount of times say that the second staion is hardly used. It was a wise decision made by SFGAm by not adding the second station.

by **coastrcorey** on May 7th, 2003, 8:18 pm

Yeah, the second station would've most likely been a waste. I agree that they're two train system works perfectly.

by **SfGaMownz** on May 7th, 2003, 10:05 pm

I was at SfOg in March on the 22nd and 23rd. One day the 2nd station was opened and the 2nd and the station was closed.

by **coasterinsane** on May 8th, 2003, 1:08 pm

I got on the second ride of the day so i did not know how long the wait was at first but around 3 o clock it was 1 hour and 15 minutes long.... then i got on the last ride of the day, it is okay at night but you cant even see the groung. Itrs way better in the day.... then on raging bull I was in the station when the little girl came in! it was pretty scary, i did not expect anything like that to happen, well at least 5 feet in front of me!!!! i was gonna get in the row she was supposed to get out of! it was quite an experiance.

by **TwistedSTEEL666** on May 12th, 2003, 7:50 pm

were SUF lines any longer THIS weekend or where they around the same as last weekend?

R.I.P. Deja Vu 10/07/01-10/28/07

The lines were a bit shorter.

by **coasterzak** on May 13th, 2003, 3:34 pm

Gotta love those duel loading stations...

by **CoasterMan629** on May 13th, 2003, 3:51 pm

I only waited about 1:15 or so, the whole maze part in the beginning is very boring, crowded, smelly, and hot!

I felt like a buch of cattle being herded in a farm house! :shock:

I like Raging Bulls line the most because of the amount of room in the zig zag spot.

But yea the line didnt take too long, well not as long as I expected it too. :wink:

R.I.P. Deja Vu 10/07/01-10/28/07

It seems like it would take forever but remember that S:UF is a short ride.

by **coasterswimgurl12** on May 13th, 2003, 9:16 pm

they have really quick loading timew too.....its fast, but not as fast as RB

R.I.P. Deja Vu 10/07/01-10/28/07

I think the loading time is the same.

by **Aero737** on May 13th, 2003, 9:38 pm

SFGAmfreak4life--Loading time is the same as what? Raging Bull? I wouldnt think so. On a good day the ride-ops on Raging Bull can really haul. On S:UF you have to wait for the floor to drop out and the seats to tilt. Plus people seem to take longer to get situated on S:UF. Maybe its because they gotta put their stuff in bins (if they ever get them). I dont think the load time on S:UF will ever be as fast as Raging Bull is. The coasters are just too different.

Were Superman lines over 2 hours on May 3rd?
