YoungPup Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 They always worked for me, ever since they were announced (and a little before). They only show up when you're in the park with your gps location on. Also, I don't remember if it was at that time, but the wait times were an exclusive beta for Gold Season pass holders. You needed to have a gold season pass in the app. Don't remember if or when that ended. I have the best season pass there is. The waiting times never worked.

YoungPup Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I just got a confirmation from Six Flags that the wait times were in a beta stage last year. I'm still talking with them about when the correct wait times will be added, but they have said that they plan on adding the new restaurants onto the app, by the end of the week.

SatansHockey Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 App is working today for me with pretty accurate times. Wasn't working at all when I was here Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertleax Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Mine was also not working on Sunday. Received a survey from Gadv about the app and I informed them about it and also what improvements could be made. For example, it would have been nice to know what snack stands and restaurants were open so we would not walk all the way finding out they were not open.

And agreed with the restaurants. I walked all the way to Kingda Ka, to find out Fast Track Snacks was closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansHockey Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 What is with this app only working some days and not working others? Is it that hard to get this to work? Plus sometimes only some rides have posted times. Are they working on this at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much only use it to check the hours, and to use my pass sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungPup Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Times are most of the time wrong, and there's little use for it besides having your pass on it. They said they were going to add all of these features, but didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I actually find it quite useful. No, it's not accurate to the minute, but it is generally accurate for getting an idea of what a wait is -- small, medium, or large. Agreed on the mystery of it not always working, though.

A few days ago it said El Toro was a 5 min wait, we walked over, and it was really about a 30 minute wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Yesterday, it had Toro at 25 min. We walked over and it was 5 min (single switchback filled). Then, by the time we were on the platform, it was already back up to ~25 (first set of switchbacks filled). Yes it's imperfect, but sometimes it's unavoidable). EDIT: Also, I see this as a flaw in the design but you do need to remember to manually refresh. Looking at wait times leftover from the last time I opened the app has messed me up in the past.

YoungPup Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 We refresh it whenever we use it. They should really add menus to the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 ^For food places? That would be nice. I've always thought it should also have a "drop a pin where you've parked" feature, since that's an easy and helpful addition for theme park apps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisatsweetlou Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 They have a new update for the app- it includes maps and directions- this will be helpful to non season pass holders and when season pass holders visit SF parks they have never been to! Really nice addition! I'm starting to like this app better than any other theme park app out there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Kaiser Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Now they just need to put which items are on the dining plan in the menu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungPup Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Now they just need to put which items are on the dining plan in the menu! Isn't everything besides Mama flores and Panda Express? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Isn't everything besides Mama flores and Panda Express? Most locations besides Mama Floras and Panda are on the dining plan, but that doesn't mean everything from that location is on the dining plan. Only certain items at each location are on the plan. (Usually most or almost all the items are on the dining plan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Apparently you can give feedback in the "settings" section -- that would be a good piece to ask for in the next update. I'd also like if the items were arranged by category (as on the actual menu) as opposed to the current alphabetical order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
