cassie_KY Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Thanks for the PTR! We are planning to go there this summer. Your pics let us see what we have to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Browns Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Great PTR that park looks beautiful and really makes me eager to see some green on our trees in Ohio. Man I can't wait for spring! Wow Mind Bender looks fantastic. Some rides are intense and some like this are just fun and Mind Bender really looks scenic too. I had to check out a pov on youtube and found a pretty good one I would be so disappointed if I went all the way to SFOG and didn't get to ride a B&M Flyer but I'm glad to hear you had a good trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 As we continued to stroll through the park we came upon Acrophobia but I decided to save it for later, which was unfortunate because it would later shut down for the remainder of the day. Where?! I tell you, where in the enthusiast handbook does it tell you to "save for later" key or unique rides!?! j/k... All in all, I had a great day at the park and found that many of the terrible things I had heard about Six Flags to be totally untrue. I hate to say it, but I've heard this a lot, but virtually every SF experience I've had at any park since significant park-going in the fall of 06 has been nothing, but phenomenal, joyeous, pleasurable, and unlike anything I've heard of the horror stories from others!!

Discodude3737 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I believe most horror stories of Six Flags arise from mid-season visits with crowds and heat. I've been to Magic Mountain twice...03 and 05. Both times I visited the park for two consecutive days, and both times the two days varied greatly in quality. One day Goliath would have all three trains running...the next it would have one, with a 3+ hour wait. The same type of things happened with Scream, Batman, X, Riddler, etc. Waiting in a three hour line for Deja Vu in the LA heat in mid-July will thoroughly upset anyone. But, nevertheless, the "good" days at the Six Flags parks I've been to have been phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Until...you hit....the bottom. Imagine straddling a bicycle seat, not unlike riding Chang, Mantis or King Cobra. You rise up, tilt forward, fall quickly, and then stop abruptly. The women mostly giggle in giddy delight. The men mostly go...oh...my.....uh....goodness! Never had a problem with it. It's actually my favorite drop ride. The part where ya tilt forward is actually the best. I believe most horror stories of Six Flags arise from mid-season visits with crowds and heat.

The Interpreter Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Uh, when were you at the park last? The ride has not run since the 2007 season...and hasn't even been on the park map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violakat03 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Deja Vu was the only ride we didn't ride on our trip in 06. We didn't get to it the first day and it was only running here and there on the second day. We decided that a combination of the fact it was having a lot of mechanical problems and the fact that a month prior, my husband had been in a car accident that totaled our car that we called 'Deja' (Deja VUE, get it?) we decided fate was telling us to avoid it.

Haha that's funny I love the fact that the car was named "Deja" very creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
