Goliath is running both train(I got on the first train of the season!)

SWT got new wood for the path between viper and JBs.

Yellow train isn't running this season on Demon.

Strutters seemed to have an LED sign.

Operations were actually pretty good. Minimal stacking.

Viper now has pouches in the cars for items.

Goliath now has a disney-esque way of checking seatbelts. Lapbar is still the same.

No more Goliath walkback. You can run there.

New announcer once again.

Demon seems to have gotten a lot smoother. Might just be me.

I might've missed something, so if I did, post it.

No, I don't. The person behind me did record something, however. I might've remembered you.

Sorry to double post, but apparently, all SF parks got the survey about the Frisbee/Discovery. Not sure about the DC renames, though.

There's now a quit zone by the exit of sky trek tower I guess the GP haven't taken the loud pop music as fondly as the park had hoped.

Does this mean we might see the return of themed music or no.

A Sky Screamer would be a perfect fit for the Revolution area. Even Screamer's original queue house matches the Kidzopolis gift shop! But that doesn't really matter.
p.s. this is the Sky Screamer from SFStL

Well that is kind of an obscure area, might just be Sixflags being thorough as they always are lol.

Nice! If that were to happen, it would look awesome in Sky Line photos of the park! and it would draw alot of customers to the games gallery! I wouldn't put it past them to do something like that at all!

Wow. Didnt realize they actually added a sign designating that as quiet area, nice catch.

Viper 88 asks what game we played before smartphones.

Flip phones were before smartphones.

Snake was a game on flip phones.

Thus, Snake is the game we played before smartphones.

Simple logic, really.

The only places that wifi has actually worked inside parks are WDW, Kings Island and parts of Valleyfair. Otherwise a lot of places advertise wifi and it doesn't connect properly.

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P

Has anyone caught what the price to upgrade a ticket to a season pass is after getting into the park?

Thinking of using my $29.99 passholder discount to get someone a season pass.

Is there a better deal out there?

There's an ERT on May 14th. Do they usually wait to announce what rides the ERT is for until the day of the event ?

^Yeah, usually they put up a sign saying what rides have the ERT on the day. The Discover ones usually put up a sign by the Carousel.

If you would like ERTs to be actually times for extra rides and not extra line time, I recommend not posting them on here. But yeah they rarely announce what rides will be open ahead of time. Interesting note, Grad Night is also at this time so it could easily be a mess.

I don't think posting on here will have a significant effect on ERT wait times. They send ERT notices out in emails and in-park signage on the day of an ERT, and they're listed under "events" on the website and app. I'm sure 99% of people who follow this site get those notices.

Guys, I think Eagle is getting repainted. Everything up to the transfer has a fresh coat of paint.

Holy crap. It's actually happening.
