Which ride is worth and NOT worth a long wait

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby wishman35 on June 22nd, 2008, 4:28 pm
For most worth id have to say Raging Bull, and im thinking many would agree also.

V2 also would have to come close because its the only ride in the park that still runs some fear through me.

for the LEAST worth a long wait (besides the obvious dark knight) would be Superman or Batman.

I love both rides but if i ever (and i havent) wait more then an hour for Batman i would cry. It is way to short. It is one of the most fun rides at the park but to short. Superman is fun but way overhyped

What you guys think??

I don't know how to word this properly, as I am kind upset yet not very. Make sense?

I know the must wait coasters are Bull, AE, and B:TR.

The kinda waits are Viper, Demon, V2, and perhaps S:UF.

The not so are IW, Whizzer, RC, and SSR.

I haven't ridden TDK, but all you here are killing my buzz as far as this coaster goes! I don't want to know why or why not I or anybody shouldn't wait to ride. This is the first year of it and every SFGAm fan should be able to get there and experience it and maybe appreciate it.

So, for future reference maybe keep TDK out of this for the first year.

Just sayin',

alright none of us will discuss the ride anymore on this six flags message board since its the first year of its opening.

Its simple, a dark, less fun rajun Cajun whose line is the longest in the park

The only ride I used to wait a long line for was DejaVu. Now, if it is in the switchbacks I don't ride it...simple as that. I will ride flats or go on Demon and re-ride for an hour.

The only rides I won't wait in a long line for are Dark Knight, Superman, Bull, and that racing water slide thing.

Keep in mind I haven't ridden Bull yet so i don't know how good or bad it is.

I don't mind waiting for AE, Demon, Batman, and Viper, and the water park rides.

The only one I'm willing to wait more than about an hour for is Spaceley's.

As far as Raging Bull goes, if the line is longer than the top of the stairs, it's too long.

Iron Wolf? How long of a wait do you think is worthy? Hopefully no more then 10 minutes or so.

Not worth it:
SU:F
Iron Wolf
Whizzer
Dark Knight
Rajin Cajun
AE
Demon

Worth it:
V2
Raging Bull
Batman
Viper

Personally, I don't think anything is worth waiting for because I've ridden all of it so many times and don't really care anymore. When I go with my friends, I let them decide where to go.

I would say that the ride that is the most worth the wait is Raging Bull of course. The ride that is not worth the wait is in my opinion Superman. Well I have not been on raging canjun and Dark Knight so it could change.

Not Worth:
Dark Knight......

The rest don't really make a difference to me whether there is a long wait or not.... but of course like everyone else in the world I would prefer a very short wait time :D

None...all of them are only a 2-3 minute wait with a flash pass. So worth it. NOBODY should wait more than 15 minutes for any ride. Ridiculous.

***American Eagle, Viper and Demon MUST have flash passes installed for 2009***
Gold flash pass should have EVERY ride included even Yankee Clipper.

I guess to me the only SFGAm rides that would be worth 1+ hours in line are Raging Bull, Viper, and Batman.

I would not wait more than 1 hour for Whizzer, Eagle, and Superman.

I would not wait more than 30 mins for Iron Wolf, Demon, Raging Cajun, and V2(the latter two only because the line CRAWLS in the first place).

By the time I get tickets, and pay for 200 miles each way in gas, buy lunch, and pay for parking... there is NO money for flash pass. I seem to have the knack of getting lucky, as every time I go to the park, I seem to find lost ones on the ground :P
Finally Coaster Season!!

Raging Bull, BTR, and SUF are worth long waits. Maybe Viper, and MAYBE Dark Knight.

The rest... not so much.
