First off, this is my first TR ever on TPR. Yay! Second, I noticed someone with a TPR hoodie and pointed it out to my dad. If you saw a random guy point at you at SFGAm, that was me! Third, this was the first time i've used this camera so if any pictures are blurry (like the first one) or blue i'm sorry. I do have larger high quality pics if you'd like them. Also many pics of the coasters don't have a train in them mainly because I took video when there was a train, there was only 1 train running, or there was simply no line at all!
Overall, it was an amazing day at Six Flags! Because this was only the second week the park was open, not many people showed up and those who did were usually coaster enthusiasts. Every time we (me and my dad) walked by a park rep, they always asked how our day was going. I was very impressed by how friendly the entire park was. Anyways, i'll let the pics and video to the talking!

I need to look at my camera settings next time I go. Maybe it has to do with the exposure or something, I don't know.
YoshiFan wrote:$70 for a parking pass?! Wow, suddenly the $45 for a Great Adventure parking pass doesn't seem as bad.
Don't forget the season pass is less than the parking pass! Unless you know you're coming back 5 times, not worth it. I got my season pass as a gift, but maybe next year i'll buy a pass from a different Six Flags park so it's cheaper.

I think your white balance was set to indoors or something.. because the inside shot was ok!
Great pictures though. I really want to get to this park sometime. I just have no reason to head over that direction! Someday!

50's - 60's Perfect hoodie and t-shirt weather for me, layers for my dad. I did have gloves though because they get freezing from having your hands up on the rides.

When I went a week after you V2 also wasn't open. The train has half gone. With Demon, do you mean the one at SFGAM is being moved to Freestyle Music Park or are they just getting a clone of it?
I know thats not a lot of credits but I have some that aren't on their website.

^Bad joke actually. Demo like a music demo or soemthing. I'm new to this, ok? And as for V2, I think they're replacing all the chassis/frames this year and they didn't get the parts until recently.
