SFStL got it on Ninja, and it's only a matter of time til something at SFGAm gets the same treatment, but at the very least once the movie is released, Whizzer will go back to it's old self.

Ninja, that's just sad. so. so. so. sad.

See, that angers me. They might aswell call it Stride. A COMPLETE train repaint ruins the ride. :(
Now I'll complain. lol

^^What's odd about the Ninja wrap is it's only on one train.

I wish they went the route of the Georgia Scorcher. The sponsor (Georgia Natural Gas) fits the ride and the wraps look great. No next, just a very small logo and some blue flames.

Sure is. Kingda Ka was the recipient of the Karate Kid wraps.

After going to the park today I think the park has lost all of it's charm. Demon now has blue and green stride stickers all over it. That is ridiculous, I don't want to ride coasters and see ads all over the place as well as the trains I am sitting on. I will not be going to the park for a long long time as after going today, I just had enough. Is it going to do anything? No. And I really don't care if I make a impact or not. I just think the park has gone downhill since 2006.

I think the downhill slide started around 1999 and peaked(well, vallied) in 2001, now it looks like it's a double dip, hopefully the bottom is in sight.

Hopefully Al can get rid of these ads for next year. if I were you guys, I'd attempt to rip em' off when going up the lift. Where are the ads exactly? And are they removable, decals, or airbrush?

In my opinion, V2's the worst of the 3. However, it's not a "classic", no one cares. During the entire ride, it's right in front of your face (the ad).

Hopefully now people appreciate the site more, and will spend less time complaining! (yeah right...maybe in a perfect world)

I dont really consider most of this as the annoying complaining as some of you think it is. People are just starting to realize that the cheaper season pass price was subsidized by the addition of very ugly ads all over the park.

Is anyone complaining about the rides themselves or the food or the permanent fixtures? Nope, just the tacky stuff that affects the charm.

Would I be willing to pay the extra $10 a year to minimize ads...of course. People do that for iPhone apps when they dont want ads, and people pay premiums on websites around the world to avoid ads.

Ads don't really bug me, but something like painting Sky Trek Tower that color blue just is an eyesore. Even at night, the thing looks so dark even with the lights shining on it. I just think of the ride as a UFO now because I just don't know what to make of it.

MY thoughts on people who complain about SFGAm so much:

If you don't like it, don't go...
I'm irreverent and stuff...
