That's funny I remember riding the mini swings in 2008 when I was 8 years old with my little sister. Good times. I'm pretty sure I was too big for them back then and remember my feet scraping along the ground the whole ride.

Does anyone on here know how you can become part of the promotional video/commercial for the new ride? I was thinking that would be really cool to be a part of.

I heard SFA let anyone sign up for their Firebird commercial. Also I believe someone on here did one for Zumanjaro?

They won't make it for a while now but was thinking it'd be really fun!

Was at the park on Wednesday and it was absolutely dead! Only stayed for a few hours and got on most major coasters, many several times. Still haven't ridden Wonder Woman yet, but I'm looking forward to it when it does reopen.

Have any of the clones at other parks had similar issues upon opening?

The parked was insanely packed today. I'm really glad I got to the park early in the day because by 1 it was just too much. The line to go through the parking booths was crazy long, then the security lines were also insane.

I was really glad I had my Diamond Elite today because I got preferred parking, skipped the security line, and skipped two ride lines. 

Went to Toro first and it was a station wait, but a few hours later it was up to an hour wait. Got my skip the line for SORA and KK which was nice. After getting off KK the park was packed and the lines for everything was insane. I think Green Lantern had a 70 minute wait, and I saw Batman go into where the curvy uncovered walkway is, and Nitro go where the switchbacks are.

I left at about 2:30 and walking out the security lines spilled into the parking lot which I haven't seen happen before. I'm glad I left when I did because I could barely walk around towards the end.

According to the Membership Guide, "You are entitled to one free drink bottle per calendar year." I'm not sure if I know of anyone who has gotten their second bottle yet, I'll ask around.

It's the same exact red bottle, if that's what you're wondering.

Okay cool. One of my bottles is a little bent and is hard to screw the cap on now. Also I wish Six Flags had the disposable cup option like Cedar Fair does. Just visited KD yesterday and I have the drink pass on my platinum pass and it is so much easier to not have to carry a cup around.

Anyone know if members get new cups every year?

Can't believe the park opens tomorrow! I haven't been to the park since November so I miss it.

I'll definitely be there!

Got an email saying the park is getting a special metal detector line just for Diamond and Diamond Elite members. This is gonna be do useful when the park is super busy.

Looks like El Toro will be getting some new track!

I've had a Season Pass/Membership since 2012, and I've never actually been to opening day yet. I've been to the park on the second operating day, but never the first.

This year I'm finally going to be able to make it out for the parks official opening day. I'm very excited and the weather looks pretty warm!

I really love this pin collecting idea. Planning on going to the park opening day and will be able to get the pin. Also would love to strive for 25 visits in one year. I think my record for most visits in a season is 18.

Anyone know if the park will ever sell nanocoasters? I purchased one at Cedar Point and love it, and know that some other SF parks sell them as well. It would be nice to purchase some with the 50% off discount that comes with my Diamond Elite.

The only Chop Six I've had was at Great America, and it was the absolute worst food I've ever had at a theme park. The orange chicken was inedible. (and not even chicken)

I loved Panda Express 

 

I hope that was either an anomaly or that ours is completely different.

I loved Panda too but since it wasn't on the dining pass I rarely purchased it because why would I pay when I have a dining pass? I hope it's good because I remember the SFA one being almost at the same level as Panda.

I'm very happy with the in park wifi, it's a long needed addition to the park. Also if Chopsix is anything like the version at SFA, then it will be one of my favorite food places in the park. Had the one at SFA a few years ago and thought it was better than average for six flags food. Also excited to use mobile ordering this year! Hopefully they make it easy and worthwhile.

Definitely:

Great Adventure

Dorney

Hershey

Knoebels

Kennywood

Cedar Point

Carowinds

Six Flags New England

Nickelodeon Universe

Maybe:

Dollywood

Six Flags Great America

Six Flags Over Texas

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

Any idea about how you could get into the media event for Nickelodeon Universe? I'm assuming you have to be from either the news or have a decent sized youtube channel.

I feel like every year there's a maze or two that's not ready so at least we know ahead of time.

I rode Cyborg today and it was just okay. Nothing terrible about it, but there was just no intensity to it. It felt pretty slow on the ride. The restraints were comfortable and there were points where I did get some good hangtime which was fun but otherwise nothing to rave about. I think twister is better.

In the newsletter it says the member preview starts Friday.

I was actually in line in the station of kingda ka when it rolled back with people on it. Second time I saw it happen with people on it. They had to roll the train back into the station and the riders got the chance to wait to ride again. After a while they sent another train which also rolled back then the next one made it and it reopened.

Planning on going to the park tomorrow for my second visit of the season. The weather looks good mostly sunny with a high of 48 which isn't too too cold.

Hearing that the park is kinda crowded today most likely because of good weather and it's the day before Easter. Planning on going tomorrow since it's the only day I have off from track so hopefully it's not crowded.

I remember going on Easter one year and it wasn't that crowded.

That's what the membership card looks like. They also have red member only cups which I thought was interesting.

This new place has waffles. I wonder if they are like the dessert waffles and if it'll be on the dining pass.

I think Nitro is just okay. I prefer more intense rides and it just doesn't feel that intense with gradual movements and floater airtime vs ejector.
