I suggest someone trying to perfect the Blixa scream. It starts at about 1:37.

It's basically a payment plan with interest. It costs slightly more than a regular season pass, but is a little easier on the wallet. In the long run the park wins with the membership, but for those that don't have much money, and are bad at looking the the overall price, it's a great deal. Well, kinda. They'll think it's a great deal because now they can afford it.

Bad customer service at SFMM Lost & Found

I'm sorry, but I'm tempted to ask. If you lose your season pass can't they just print up a new one? Doesn't your picture show up on their screen anyways? -
Six Flags: New for 2014
jackparanoia replied to Ride On_17's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Sorry I worked over 60 hours this week, so I'm kind of out of it. I meant the slow days are the weekdays for fright fest. October 17th, and 24th are thursdays. It's also open columbus day, but I think that might be busy depending on the weather. I stop considering fridays part of the weekend once school starts back up. The hours are shorter on weekdays, but I tend to get most of my rides, and haunts in during that time in October. Weekends are for pictures, and watching others get scared. -
Six Flags: New for 2014
jackparanoia replied to Ride On_17's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
With what's left in the season it's mainly the weekdays for fright fest. It's pretty much just like Kings Island with the good times to go. Monday-Wednesday, except in July, and August. Those will be horrible times no matter what. I typically Flash Pass it during those times. The first three weeks of the season are typically really dead. Oh except opening weekend, that was insanity this year. Hopefully next season they can get most of the trains on the track, and tested shortly after opening. I'd like to point out a mistake in my first post. I meant Raging Bull was running two trains, but accidentally said backwards. My bad, I apologize. It took a few weeks for them to get three trains going. If anyone is ever planning on going to Six Flags I never use the coupons from the coupon book. If I'm off work that day I'll go down there to get you in with one of my coupons. I'd have to be there because they require me to show my season pass which kinda sucks, but makes total sense. I've learned so much from this site that it's the least I could do. -
Six Flags: New for 2014

SFGAm is my hometown park, and it is really busy most of the time. There's some great times to go, but it's like they're intent is to keep the lines as long as possible. It can be super dead, and Raging Bull will still stack. They all stack constantly, and the staff has been crazy slow this year. When the Park opened this year Raging bull was running two trains, and namtaB(I hate that name) was running one train. I'm just sad Orbit's been broken for about half the season. Still a good time there though. Sorry for the rant guys, I just needed to vent. -
way off topic, but I was inches away from being smacked in the face with a flip flop on Diamondback. Not sure if it would've hurt, but it was scary.

I always bring my regular pair of glasses, and leave my old ones in the car just in case they get lost, stolen, or busted. I have an insulated souvenir cup holder that goes around my neck, and I usually wrap the necklace part around my glasses, and hand it to the ride op. If you want a ride op to take your stuff make sure there's liquid in the cup. If they take the cup I'm guessing they'll take the bag too. Just hold them out at the same time. Your odds of losing it are greater in the bin than on the ride though.

Six Flags: New for 2014
jackparanoia replied to Ride On_17's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I can't remember if Batman ran one, or two. I swear I remember waiting to get off the ride after feeling sick after my fourth ride. Viper for sure had more than one. -
Thanks. I'm new to this, but that sure seems like a long time to return to the station. Not complaining, just surprised.

Please help settle an argument between my wife and I...
jackparanoia replied to Stephen's topic in Kings Island
I don't care what they charge, just as long as they keep the wristband thing going. I hope you guys never get these because I hate them. -
Ok dumb question time. The pov is 1:54, but the ride is supposed to be 2:40. Why is that? Is it just moving faster in the video compared to real life?

The Most Ridiculous Thing a Ride Operator has told you.
jackparanoia replied to Original's topic in Rumors
I was either there the same night, or he did that same Sparta thing again. It happened about two weeks ago for me. It drove me nuts. -
Don is loving this right now. Nothings better than celebrating a successful promotion than by having a little fun just before it. He throws out the bait, and everyone keeps biting. I haven't seen anything promoted so successfully. Good job Don!

This is a sad truth. I'm loving this site, but wish there were more like it.

Racer cam isn't showing as much construction as it was earlier, but I'm enjoying watching people take pictures.
-
No, I meant like if it was leaked in the future. Sorry. That's my sleepiness using bad grammar.
-
I think the "leak", and this news report is great for the announcement. Yeah they try keeping it secret, but adding hype a week before they make things official is great for the announcement. It's much better than the people that aren't enthusiasts becoming bored that there's no news for a week. Kings Island has done a great job! Even if the Website is leaked, I don't see that as a bad thing. It's extra hype, and adds to the thrill. Makes people feel special. Ok I'm rambling, so I'm going to bed. Goodnight ya'll

I wonder if that has anything to do with digging. Kinda like a heads up that something may or may not be in certain spots. That's just a random thought though.

When/if Dinosaurs become endangered?
jackparanoia replied to AintNutinElse2Do's topic in Kings Island
hahaha I feel stupid now. You make a great point! Thank you. -
Maybe someone is going who has a signal booster? I can't be there sadly, plus I don't have one.

When/if Dinosaurs become endangered?
jackparanoia replied to AintNutinElse2Do's topic in Kings Island
This is all my speculation, plus it turns out someone else thought the same thing on another forum. I don't know the rules about mentioning other parks, but the one whom counts it's flags in Illinois posted a teaser video that looked very dinosaurish. Maybe it's relocating? I can post the video, but don't know the rules for posting other parks promotions. As you can see there's a reason I'm called Jackparanoia..... -
No, it'll have a Spaceballs theme.

I've noticed with other things I've been involved with that when people speak up, the news seems to give it more attention. I'm from Chicago though, so I'm not really sure how things work out here. I'm not talking politics. I meant like less well known sports teams, and charity drives. Is there a news writer that's a Kings Island nut? There's gotta be one. I think that's the best route.

It's so poetic, and has been stuck in my head multiple times. People give me strange looks when I say it going up the lift hills at the park by me.
