. Thankfully we didn't have to deal with anything of the sort on this trip. First off I made a VIDEO for SFOT clicky clicky.......

I'm sure most of you have heard of "Holiday In The Park". If you haven't, well your in luck because i'm gonna tell you all about it......
First off Ive only been to SFOT during HITP, and its my second favorite park in the chain, the park is well populated with a variety of rides even during this event (BTR, MR. Freeze, Flashback, & Texas Giant are closed during HITP) During this event SF brings in many unique food items that can only be bought during this time of year, some examples include: Many different unique fried items from oreos to green beans, hot soups in bread bowls, fajitas cooked in very large frying pans, and hot drinks in souvenir holiday mugs.
Also During HITP, the park is vastly decorated with MANY lights and decorations (I regret not taking very many pictures of the decorations, but I have some from SFFT so look for that PTR later on) I Tend to get overwhelmed with taking pictures of the coasters
Everyone knows that the true reason to visit SFOT is for the outstanding Schwartzkopt Masterpiece dubbed the name SHOCKWAVE. Seriously this thing is freaking insane! Definetly rated a top ten ride for me, the front delivers some nice floater air, but the back delivers some of the most wtf ejector air imaginable, plus the ride starts off with two of the most powerful back to back loops that make it feel like your being plastered to the seat. The General Public like always are to stupid to realize how good the ride is and are to busy bowing down to Titan, so this ride is always a station wait.
some random ride reviews..
*Tony Hawk's Big Spin - smooth, fun, fast, intense as always, im a big fan of these clones. This one happens to be my favorite because they load two cars at a time unlike most of the others which only load one car at a time.
*Titan - The extra helix just put the icing on the cake for this Giovanola creation. I'm a huge fan of the notsosteapfeelslikeyourfallingforever first drop.
*Shockwave - See above.
*Superman Tower Of Power I belive this is the tallest of its kind in the world (Maybe?!) This is my favorite S&S tower so far, however I have yet to ride one of the tiny ones which I hear are pretty impressive. However for me most of what I love about drop towers is the heights they bring you to, which is why this one is pretty awesome, Its super tall!
*La Vibora - one intense bobseld... quick direction changes are the best.
*Runaway Mountain - Why doesn't anyone talk about this ride?! Its almost my favorite ride in the park! Theres a wtf drop in there somewhere which really takes me by surprise every single time.
*Judge Roy Scream - A fun ride for what it is.
*Frosty's Sled Hill - FRIGGEN FANTASTIC!!!!!! (Yes they have a sledding hill and its one good ole time!)
Well most of you probably dont even read this gibberish so I'll get to what your really here for....PICTURES! Make sure you watch the VIDEO!
ah here we are, the original Six Flags, Must have been very exciting here in 1961
ah how i love beating little punks to Titan in the morning, its hilarious how they think that there gonna beat me to the first ride in the morning, not a chance
The rebuilding of Texas Giant has began. Well at least I think it has
Titan is way the hell back in a corner, nowhere near anything else
ah my beautiful shockwave how are you on this lovely morning?
you certainly are running brilliant as usual
hello world, we would like to point out that shockwave is our favorite ride in the park, it should be yours as well!
The Vertical Loop of hell! (In a good way)
One of the best spots on the ride for airtime
screw that hypercoaster over there, my heart goes to shockwave!
Im just kind of here to touch this storage track, moving on...
Breaks the old fashion way
Spin Spin Spiny Spin Spin!
This one doesn't have the cool ramp looking thing
A closer look at one of the trains
Magic Mountain needs this great family coaster
That screen is VERY bright when its dark
The parachute drop has lights on it that make it look like a Christmas tree, therefore its not open this time of year.
oh dear, good thing I dont have to ride that
SFOT's tree is made up of a bunch of mini trees.
La Vibora otherwise know as La Fantastica!
a m&m would really hit the spot right now
now we venture into the parking lot to get some otherwise impossible shots of Titan
the WTF support
some fantastic floater air is to be had over this low drawn out hill taken at high speeds
In this photo you can find the moon and an airplane
I'm pretty sure Titan got a paint job recently, anyone know anything about that? It was definitely not that shiny last year
This drop is probably my favorite part of the ride
coming off the MCBR
The first part of the ride can be considered similar to Raging Bull, although Titan does it much better
more Titan pictures, don't worry there almost done
The security guards came and found us and thought we were gonna hop the fence to retrieve a hat, im sorry but this is Texas not Georgia you have the wrong park.
I love this twisted bowl of goodness
that Texas Giant thing
obligatory jaime texting on my phone picture
we shall make our way back into the park now
One of my favorites!
SFOT closes most of the rides when temperatures drop below 36 degrees, so when that happens Runaway Mountain is the place to be!
looks familiar
The Giant
I like the red Titan train the best, they switched it with the orange on the second day
Titan riders coming back to the station
Superman
They have toasty fires for when it gets cold
Night at shockwave = best moment in eternity
If you thought it was good during the day, well hit the lights and you'll be amazed when its dark (That could make a good thats what she said joke.... haha so funny....
......LOSER)
Judge Roy Scream at night
Judge Roy Scream during the day
aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh run, hide, scream!
Watch out the street might hump you
i took this identical shot last year....
The blue tower made a chur chunck sound at the top
Mr. Freeze, sitting there, chillin. no pun intended
I like this ride
FREEEEE!
Mr. Six being a creep
The SFOT food staple, the PINK THING!
Pink Things are so simple yet so delicious and cheap to! I must have had 7 of them, there addicting!
This is very suggestive
OMG THERE SELLING BIZARRO MERCH, THEY MUST BE GETTING A BIZARRO NEXT YEAR......sigh
This Clone is superior to the rest because of its dual loading capabilities
That tower thingy
Thats what I like to see
This is what the world looks like through a cardboard cut out.... hey wait a minute, JAIME GET OUT OF THE WAY!
Giantness
Hello Wax Dummie
Everythings bigger in Texas y'all
Frosty's Snow Hill!!!!! I fell off my sled the first time and it was quite hilarious, dont worry I redeemed myself and made it all the way down the second time
That Might be a B&M, Sigh I miss my B&M's, good thing I went to San Antonio where B&M's are operational at the moment
Mr. Freeze must be frozen, that's the only logical reason why it could be closed
I see you through the fence
They had this little extra section in gotham city section open which was not open last year
I did last year!
choo choo
both enjoyable rides
This would be the Mine Train
Chocolate!
Huge skillet
Random food menu
the lost an found, because I accidentally dropped my camera case, these nice people found it and returned it to me
Im gonna eat another Pink Thing and continue stealing your phone
typical La Vibora Vehicle
oh lord
That's freshly painted
A typical Titan seat, don't worry the ride was not in motion when this was taken we were stuck on the friggen break run because of the train in front of us.
well im just gonna enjoy my time here in this lovely chair
Same.
THE END!!!! Keep a look out for my PTR of Sea World San Antonio and SFFT
