I agree and I think it’s a staff problem. I talked to a person at the flash pass merge at park close on Saturday and he was talking about how he doesn’t do anything about line jumpers because “if they arnt being physical he doesn’t care”

I think there definitely needs to be more enforcement, and i know some people didn't know what to do when it came to these line cutters
Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back

Single rider lines would help… Just saying…

I agree with you about cutting the park slack! Friday was opening day so they're still training new people, working out glitches, etc.

As for linejumpers the most annoying thing is when several people pass by to "meet up with their group" !!

SFGAm is now open for business for their 50th season! How did it go? I was unable to attend this year, though I see there is still a lot of construction

Well the remodeled Flags shop was closed on Saturday and didn't even have the Sign up.

Oh and the Emporium Shop to sell 50th Anniversary stuff was closed too.

Also the audio was scratchy and horrible.

I was there Saturday. Didn't have a great time compared to 2025. The one train ops on Wrath and Bull were unexpected. I was anticipating at least two for those.

I only got on maybe three or four rides. Viper's newly refurbished trains look great but there's still a nasty pot hole that needs fixing on the first drop. I couldn't buy 50th merch in the park because both Flags and Emporium weren't ready. I didn't get food either because I wasn't hungry till after 3, which I know is peak time for most groups so lines were nuts. They only had one trainee taking orders at every place I tried so the other person was essentially doing both roles.

I left early, maybe before 4.

The highlight of my day wasn't even the rides or having a good time. It was getting a group of 6 ejected from Wrath's line for jumping. Sad that of all things, that's the highlight of my trip.

Also, Siren's Curse is awesome and you should give it a try.
