Anyone know if Twisted Cyclone is still limited to one reservation with the Flash Pass? On the website Twisted Cyclone still shows as "Coming Soon (one time)" on the rides list. Thanks!

Just went last weekend and my friend bought a new pass. You go to the season pass processing center and get you card. Just take it to the front gate and tell them you want to use your free ticket for today. They scan your card and you go in.

How were the lines today? I'll be there tomorrow and Saturday morning on my out of state ticket special.

Viper can be great or very meh depending on the day and seat. We try to ride in the back, as the airtime is usually really good there. The middle is usually not very good, though every once in awhile we get a good ride there too. I have heard the front is good but have never sat there, as I am a back seat guy. Sit in row 3 on Viper and you will be very happy you did.

According to the website, Justice League is: "THE FLASH Pass Platinum only with a reservation."

Even bigger ouch! Wish I had that much money to throw around!

The daily question of the operating status of Lightning Rod reminds me of a situation in certain sports leagues over the last few years. A twitter account will be created for a bad team and it sends out 1 tweet per day with if that day won the night before. Because the team was so bad, it was always....."No." We need a twitter account @IsLightningRodOpen.......and every day it can just send.... "No" I've already had 3 trips booked to DW over the last two seasons that I've cancelled due to the ride not being open or weather issues. Got another planned for next Friday. I'm to the point that I'm just going to go and expect LR will be closed and experience the rest of the park as I've never been there before. A 10 hour drive isn't much fun though. Looks like they have a $10-15 million (or whatever it cost) paperweight, sadly.

I can confirm this after a visit this past Sunday. It's just terrific.....crushing your friend as you go around every turn.

I just saw the wait times on the app and was shocked. I'll be at the park for the first time next Friday I was thinking a flash pass wouldn't be necessary but looking at the wait times today, I may have to spring for one. Thats terrible. Was hoping for a slow day with lots of Wicked Cyclone and Superman. You did confirm my suspicion of the lines being due to school groups. Damn you young kids !

SFGAm hasn't been my home park in many years, but American Eagle is the furthest ride from the entrance besides perhaps Goliath. No need to run to get on it. It is far less popular than many of the other coasters, plus being at the back of the park will make the line build slowly. If you do want to hit Little Dipper, I'd hit it on your way to the back (I'm not sure how many trains they run as they built it after I left). The Jr. Vekoma is in the kiddie area that, if they are enforcing the rules, you won't be let in without a kid. Unless they changes this rule, but I did check it last summer when I was there and this was still the case. So don't put off American Eagle until the end of the day, but no need to run. My two cents.

Aww shucks! They should really update their website. Thanks for the input.

If you do get the platinum flash pass, can you confirm that you got double rides this year? I've seen most of the Six Flags websites have removed this from a benefit of the platinum but SFGAm hasn't. I assume their website is accurate, but would love confirmation. I've read posts online on how Six Flags has changed a few policies this year and everyone has cited the elimination of double rides. I was just assuming this was only at select parks. I plan on spending an entire day at the park for my one visit this year for the first time in my life. I grew up going to the park, worked at the park but don't think I've ever done a whole day. I live in Orlando now but go back to visit family every summer so get one visit. So plan on going all out if double rides are part of the package still.

The website says "Lightning Rod (limit one ride per person)" for TimeSaver. I've never been to Dollywood but I don't recall TImeSaver being explained like this last year. Here is what the website says for this year: Rides To receive expedited access to lines at select* rides, simply look for the TimeSaver entrance at your selected ride and show the Host your wristband. One tab will be removed from your wristband by a TimeSaver Host to allow entrance to the attraction. Unused tabs will be forfeited.

Looking for some advice on a trip to Dollywood in late April. I was originally planning on going to the park on Friday April 21st. I saw that season passholders can get someone in for free with them starting on April 22nd. So I potentially could go on Sunday, April 23rd instead and save some money for my friend if I were to buy a season pass. Friday the park is open an extra hour, probably due to spring break. So, if one was only going for roller coasters, would the crowd be much different between Friday and Sunday? I've never been to the park before so am unsure what kind of crowds are normal. Thanks in advance for any tips!

Ding ding! We have a winner! Long drive for sure. And a one way car rental is probably just as much as a flight. My goal is to do both VF and hit up the couple coasters at the mall if I can swing this little trip. Definitely looking forward to Renegade and Spongebob.
