    Did you know that the wait times in the app are based on rough estimates of the employees? My friend works there and he adds 15 minutes to his guess so that less people come to his ride!

      @BeachcliffStudios  Месяц назад

      It goes by ride capacity. If a ride puts through 1000 people per hour and the line reaches an area that fits about 1000 people, it’ll be an hour wait.

    as someone that grew up down the street from this park I do agree that this park needs an elite coaster. The park definitely had some back in the 80's and 90's but now a days I would say it's a solid park but nothing special.

    Skip the lines are not flash passes. They skip the ride wait time for you to return instead of waiting in the cue lines. Flash pass depending on gold 50% less wait or ultimate instant ride. This is our home park and have all season ultimate flash passes never wait for bigger rides! Great video and thanks for the visit to our park!

    This is my home park. The best time to go is always in the summer when all the rides are open. Glad to see you enjoyed yourself! It is always crowded in the summer but in the fall and spring it's normally pretty chill. Although some rides might not be open due to the midwest weather. Whizzer is definitely one of my personal favorite. Little fun fact, years ago they tried to tear it down but the Illinois and neighboring states costumers contested it because it's a fan favorite. I always ride it whenever I go to SFGA. Fun Fact: Batman the ride is actually the original one that was first created. It debuted at SFGA. Another Fun Fact: You might've seen some Looney Tunes characters because Six flags had a contract with Hannah Barbara and was able to use its characters and likeness.

    My GF and I have been to SFGAmer twice. We definitely enjoy the park. It's clean and has some really fun coasters. The ride operations were improved this year from our visit last year. Our favorite coasters are: Goliath, Superman, Maxx Force, Raging Bull, XFlight. I totally agree with you about their coaster lineup, they need a signature coaster. Cedar Point is also our home park so it's hard not to compare every park to it. But we really enjoy SFGAmer, and will go again if in the area.

    Great vlog guys! I was anticipating this one and yinz did a great job, I was not disappointed ( I never am. I truly enjoy these vlogs!) Really great editing by the way. Curious to know what the big 250 credits gonna be for Milo! That parade looked fun and I’m glad yall enjoyed yourselves. I feel like this park is right in the middle. It’s not quite elite, nor is it mediocre. From what I can tell, it’s definitely one of the better six flags( not a huge fan of them. Can’t wait to see what cedar fairs does to improve them) Thanks for another great vlog. Can’t wait to see where you go next!

      @BeachcliffStudios rumors now are that they'll get the first axis coaster next year (because a post by the park had a teaser phrase about a new ride coming soon, where the only letters capitalized were S,S,A so people are thinking s+s Axis). That would be shocking and exciting for sure. But that ride system, unique as it is, only pulls 2.5 gs so it wont be super intense.
      I still think they need a ride that is just long, amazing, reliable. Something like fury would not take away bull's appeal. I could say mack hyper or xtreme spinner, a multi launch, a tilt coaster, obviously just list a bunch of unlikely attractions. But truly just one of these done correctly would do the trick. A single rail would be funnand frankly I think a dive would be a waste of money. Theyre a dime a dozen now. As unique as an axis would be, im not sure it would be that "elite" coaster since nobody has ridden any yet.
