I got my coaster fix at Mall of America this weekend so its not as bad as it was.

Ill be in Chicago with a few friends that night...going to a strip club or hookah Bar for a birthday, then probably wont even sleep and drive to SFGAm around 6:00am.

I'll most likely go. Getting there will be a problem, since i no longer live in the suburbs, but i'll work around it.

I'll be there Opening Day.

Six Flags needs a bar that opens at like 8am.

Anyway, see you all there.

I doubt Dark Knight will be rockin' opening day so I'll do my usual run to Raging Bull.

^That's really too bad. I just got back from Mt. Olympus, and it killed me seeing the outdoor coasters and not being able to ride them...

I'll most definatly make an effort to go on the 26th.

Just as long as two things happen.
1. I get this job I recently had an interview for.
2. I get my Season Pass early, on the 20th or something.

I hope Pace will have their Six Flags route running on the 26th.

If all goes according to plan, and if the weather is fair, then expect to see me there, all day.

I'll be wearing by favorite Cubs hat with a Halo 3 Legendary pin on it.
I'll most likely hit Bull first after I get my pass processed.

If TDK has a short line, I'll go for it too, if not maybe later in the season.

I will be there opening day. I requested it off months ago.... not that it matters, I'll probably have quit by then.

^Dont even worry about it. SFGAm opening day is famous for having crappy weather and a SMALL crowd. Last years opening day was around 2,000 max. Just make sure you choose the correct side of the carousel you want. Right side of running of the bulls to RB, and left for running of the bulls to hopefully TDK or SUF or BTR.

^ "or TDK"

WRONG!!

For the last time, it's not going to open on opening day!

My guess is May 17th at most.

So the most it's going to open is May 17th....

I don't know if I'm just in a sardonic mood tonight but I feel the need to point out that people don't know how to use words.

I beleive the word you were searching for is earliest.

And you're only guessing May 17th because dejavu2001 posted that in another topic. I'm not saying you're not wrong, but let's face it, it's true.

You're correct on the point of it not being ready by Opening Day though.

I also saw someone say "another words" in another topic, the phrase they were looking for is "In other Words" so I hope they read this. Oy...time to lay off the personal attacks Colonel...

^Hey, you need to start reading what people actually say before you try to correct them. I said HOPEFULLY TDK. Not definatley or most likely, but hopefully. As far as im concerned, Shapiros been true to his word since he took over six flags. Im not ready to doubt him now.

I just figured out that I will be at state for show choir on opening day. How are the lines the next Sunday after? (2nd day of operation)

Looks like I'll be disappointed wheter I go or not. If I go, TDK may not be open, and if I don't go, that's just it, I'm not going, so I'm already disappointed in one respect.

My excitement is not as bad this year as it had been in the past. I dont know if it is the bad, snowy, weather....or if it was getting a coaster fix at MOA a few weeks ago.

But when I heard that "we like to party" song, it really got me excited.
