Is it lame to go by yourself to six flags?

[Stickmassacre]

Well I'm planning on going to six flags tomorrow. I tried to get everyone/anyone to go with but they were all busy. I'm trying to get my girl to go with me but shes not sure so in the worse case, I still want to go just for the hell of it.

I know it wont be as fun, but I was wondering if its lame or has anyone just gone to six flags by theirselves?

[LAFFfan4lyfe]

it's not lame. sometimes it can be better because you can do all the things that you want to do rather than thinking of others in your group. It may get lonely, but who knows, maybe you'll see some sfgamworlder at the park, and you'll make a new friend.

[FParker185]

I used to go by myself often, not that bad.

Easy to meet random people there in lines (though that probably wont be an issue tomorrow/later today with the rain).

I may end up going today(still undecided), so if you see someone wandering around most likely alone wearing some obscure coaster shirt holding a Busch Gardens Williamsburg umbrella, it's probably me

[Mr. D.T.]

I've gone by myself almost all the time for the past 8 years. It depends on what you are in the mood for. I've seen a film in the Pictorium with a group before. I think I might take one of my younger cousins with me there this summer.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

I used to go by myself all the time. Sometimes I would be by myself and bump into some enthusiasts. But I'm hoping that I won't be going alone at all this year.

[Stickmassacre]

Well if you see a tall 6'2 or something guy with brownish hair wearing a blue shirt with two red strips on the seelves and its says US POLO ASSN. in the front thats going to be me.

[FRD714]

Yea if I could I would go alone. More time on the rides you want to ride.

[Stickmassacre]

Well the people I wanted to go with are cool and we usually agree on what we want to go on, for the most part at least.

[Galvan]

Its not that bad at all to go alone, I actually went on a Trip to Texas by myself after my friend that was going with got really really sick the night before we left.

[diggerg56]

I travel quite a bit for work and visit SF parks (and others) whenever I have the extra time. As a result, I'm often at the parks alone and have no problem with it. Most of my trips are to Chicago though.

I do know people from ACE and CoasterBuzz all over the country as well as a couple from this site that I occasionally bump in to. If I do, I usually ride with them for awhile. If not, I'm happy doing whatever I'm doing at the park by myself also.

There are advantages to being a single rider at times as sometimes people ask you to go ahead in the lines inside the stations to make their groups come out right. If I see another single rider, in some instances I hop in to fill up a row or whatever.

[Trailblazer Tony]

I've gone alone as well, it's not so bad, you'll have a fun time and just make yourself approachable if your feeling sort of alone. I actually have some of my better trips when i break off and go on my own so you'll be fine. Sorry, I decided not to go, stupid me was too chicken to ride the subway alone after the park closes.

[LaTiNoObSeSeDSFGAm]

Going to SFGAm by yourself is lame? uhh YES! Seriously who will you talk to in the lines. Your going to see everybody at the park having fun with their girlfriends or friends and your going to be by yourself either on the phone or listening to music. You dont want to be like those old people that go up to anybody and start talking to strangers and having a complete conversation with them when they dont even want to talk to you. If you got to go for a quick visit to lets say buy something or like get your picture taken then its straight but going by yourself for the whole day is pretty lame.

[Director_Guy]

I wouldn't call it lame....but it sure isn't as fun.

[Drkstarboard]

I went by myself yesterday. Its fun to have a friend go but going by yourself is not lame. Its fun because you get to call the shots. Yesterday was the first time I went by myself and I ended up going on V2 15 times

[Bob O]

I dont think it is lame to go by yourself.
It is usually more run to go with others, but i have still had a good time when i have went by myself.

[rb1]

Its not lame youll have more fun because you get to ride the rides you wanted as much as you want without anyone nagging you that they dont want to go again and you dont have to worry about anybody other than yourself. One time one of my friend got sick because it was too hot I got worried so we just ended up sitting throught the park and watching shows until he got picked up. So its not a bad idea.

[jAhmad6960]

Yes, your a loser.
Get friends...


















I'm kidding...
Well, its not lame,
probably just boring.

[John Doe]

Ive never gone by myself, but I imagine that it wouldbe pretty boring.

[Trailblazer Tony]

It's not that boring, you just have to talk to people. I met three girls last time while riding V2 alone and they stayed with me the rest of the day (and no, they stayed with me not me with them). Plus, you could always find people in line that are also alone, they will be just as eager to talk as you would be.

[Do I Know You]

I used to go by myself all the time. You get a lot more rides in.

[yeti_cat]

I go by myself all the time because my parents are afraid of heights and/or too big to fit on the rides and my friends don't all have season passes like I do.

It only starts to suck when you start to get tired of the park. I've had a season pass for 5 years now, and I'm beginning to get tired of the park as a single rider. Not to mention, when you're in a long distance relationship and you keep seeing couples together all over the park it starts to bug you.

Like people have been saying though, there are lots of opportunities for single riders, you get faster seats and you can meet people and just hang out with them all day. The best thing is when you find someone who wants to hit on you and has a fast pass. That was the best single rider day I had, this dude had an extra fast pass that he let me use, so we went on a bunch of rides together.

Just for the record, I only get sick of the park as a single rider, half the fun of alot of rides and the whole amusement park experience is the interactions with your friends while in line, or making a fool of yourself on the rides or running around...etc. Its hard to act a fool on your own, you end up looking like you've got mental problems.

So in conclusion, it is not "lame" to go to six flags on your own. I'm just going to warn you against doing it that often, it looses its thrill after a while.

I like to go in the morning during the week and jog from the parking lot to Eagle. Its a good morning jog for me. It beats running around my home. After I done with the jog out to the eagle I will ride it and then hit up a few coasters on the way back to my car. Usually in under 2 hours I can get 5 to 12 rides in depending how many re-rides I want to do. I think my record was 16 rides in 1 and a half hours. Its the best way to take off those winter pounds I gained. It motivates me to jog because I know my reward are the roller coasters. I do this 3 days a week once the park is open during the week before I head t work at 3. On weekends I go with family or friends to the park so I do enjoy the "social" aspect of the park too. I do enjoy just chatting with random people in line when I am alone or with people. I always like to see where people are from.

[rct2wizard360]

Going by myself isn't bad at all.

Because usually all the regulars are there...or I just hang around a few of my op friends the whole day.

It's not bad at all.

Plus it's easier to re-ride when you're alone.

[ragingbullchick]

I've never gone by myself, but I would like to try it. Sometimes, I go with a huge group, so my day never goes as I would've planned, I still manage to have a blast.

My favorite amount of perople to go with is around a group of 3-4. Plus, even numbers are always good for sitting together on rides.

I don't really like taking little kids to the park either. My brother is 10- and the biggest ride he goes on is probably AE. I hope he'll be a coaster enthusiast one day, although it's doubtful. My cousin Nick, on the other hand, is 8, and will go on anything he can. The problem with that is he's only around 50 in. tall. But I usually take him once a year, because I don't really mind going o the smaller rides once a season.

[Sedir]

Yeah I like going with a group of 4. Fits for rides with 4-seated across, and can easily be split for 2-seated across. Eh, I donno if I could go alone. I like the idea of getting to make all the decisions, because you'd get the most out of the day that way, but I think I wouldn't have as much fun with no one.
