Six Flags Over Texas (SFOT) Discussion Thread

[A.J.Counts I305 as 32 credits...]

I have to say, roller coasters look so much more intimidating in photos than in real life. Looking at photos of El Toro, I thought, "that's really tall" but when I got up close to it in reality, I thought, "is that really all the taller it is?".

Great photos, I'm glad to hear that Texas Giant is still running great.

Great photos! I really need to go back and get my NTAG credit.

The park looks so pretty, at night, at the top of the Oil Derek. And I have to add that the Scrambler has THE LONGEST cycle I have ever seen.

It's been a while since I visited Six Flags over Texas, but I was pretty impressed with the place at that point. Does everyone still consider it to be on of the better parks in the Six Flags chain? SFOT and Six Flags over Georgia were always pretty high on my list.

[megametalWhich came first the turtle or the donkey?]

A Six Flags park with flat rides?

[Imagineer22I Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

Just got confirmation that I was selected for the Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast commercial shoot May 2nd. Anyone else selected? I am in session one. Has anyone been to a commercial shoot at SFOT before? How many rides should I expect to get in? Excited for the semi ERT but don't know how many back to back to back rides on Freeze I can take....

[joco07Does Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

I'm in!!! Yours truly Sidewinder operator ahah! I went to the Texas Giant one and got 9 rides in They really don't get back to back its get on ride wait 10mins for people to move around to get dif angles. Then go ride again and do that over and over and may get back to back a few times anyways!

It went longer than usual then. Sidewinders programed ride time is 2mins and 30secs.

More photos!!!

So here's the deal. Most of us know Mr. freeze was already a great ride. Backwards, holly hell is it insane. Gradual 70mph launch into the top hat is incredible, you don't get slung forward or pull excessive g's in the launch. Once you realize you are in the spike and the lims bost you to the top you look down and Omfg. The ride back in is just as insane. A great improvement to the ride by far. Fog is turned on in the tunnel for the shoot only I suspect. The fog was playing.g havoc on the position sensors and I doubt they want that to occur off and on all day.

They'be also spruced up the entrance and are giving it fresh paint.

This is a must ride this year! More inclhding POVs next week
