coaster1 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 So .. first day of Holiday in the Park was Friday (11/25) and I ventured out since the first Friday is usually dead. Well .. we got there at like 3:45 to wait in traffic at the toll plaza for 10 minutes with all lanes open. Ok so the park was a TAD crowded when it opened at 4pm, so I headed to get some quick construction photos since it would be dark soon. After that got a ride on Shockwave, Mine Train, Titan (bleh) and just walked around being dumb. The park was INSANLEY crowded and with alot of rides closed, made it worse. But the cool temps, not cold, but not hot made it nice. Most lines were over 45mins so we skipped alot ... but did get some Fajitas and Pink Things .. mmm Pink Things. Zee Photos!: Xander from the board .. working but stoned at the same time ... this is why Six Flags is loosing money! Old South section Texas Section with lights Texas Chute Out at Christmas time More "snow" ICE .. I mean Snow Hill Good ole Southern Palace Looks very nice at night The model train display, well part of it Play Dr. with Mr. Alvey, he's likes that Hmm .. family park? White Trash Christmas Tree? Mmm Silver Dollar City .. I mean SFOT Ze cows from New Jersey arrived Mmmm Shockwave The smei-new Ben and Jerry's at the front of the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scaparri Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 ^Wow, that would be really disappointing. I guess it's nice that they at least still gave you guys Judge Roy, the Mountain, and Shockwave. Am I the only person that finds Runaway Mountain to be an awesome ride?

XanderLee Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 The "White Trash Christmas Tree" is maintenance's tree in the Parade of Trees. Each department rents space and the proceeds are donated to The Salvation Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonLord Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I used to go to this when I live in Fort Worth back in the 80's. The "fake snow" hills where there and the only ride open was "Avalanche" oh sorry La Vibora. It was pretty new (there) and so had really long lines. The only food place open was the fried chicken store by the enterprise and they sold hot chocolate and cider in plastic cups that said "Holiday in the Park". I still have one somewhere. Anyways, thanks for the TR and helping me remember my childhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went a lot of stuff was broken but luckily none of the coasters. oh la vibora and Mr. Freeze were probably the best 2 rides for me there.
