Photo TR: SFOG 6/18/10

Postby Brandy524 » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:33 am

My husband and I went to SFOG last Friday. Crowds were pretty light in the morning, but got heavier as the day progressed. It was miserably hot but we expected as much. This was the first time we'd used a flash pass. In the morning, with the light crowds, we thought we'd wasted our money but in the afternoon when the lines got longer we were so glad we'd gotten it! The pictures are in the order I took them, so coaster pictures are scattered throughout and not grouped by like coaster. Enjoy!

Superman. We didn't ride it at this point in the day because the fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo nazi got me and we didn't have any dollars to rent a fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo at the time. We did come back later, though.

They let two cars stay empty during our turn. And those two cars got bumped and proceed to turn parallel to the oncoming cars and completely blocked the path resulting in a huge pile-up that no one could get past.

Ninja from the train. Believe it or not, we rode it twice and didn't die! It didn't even give me a headache. I searched TPR for the "magic seat" before we went. Whoever discovered it is brilliant. First seat of the last car. You won't die!

I was happy with how close I could get, especially for a point-and-shoot. I just wish I could've gotten their faces. I wasn't fast enough or at the right angle to get the front view.

I'm jealous of the Chick-Fil-A cups in your car.

Great pics!I really love the uphill shot of GASM. Batman was painted blue this year. Personally I prefer black or "Magic Mountain grey" on BTR but the blue isn't horrible.

Thanks! I didn't think it was blue before, but I wasn't sure. The blue isn't bad, but I didn't get the connection. Batman doesn't wear/drive/carry anything blue, does he?

SFOG is great this year! Everything is running awesome. Glad to hear you had a good time. Can't wait for Tony Hawk's Big Spin next year (crosses fingers haha).

Very nice TR. I last visited in 2008 and things are looking pretty good. Glad to see the train running (it wasn't when I last visited) - gives you some interesting angles.
