18 Flags over Texas Trip Help

Yes, but SeaWorld has an awesome batman clone. Personally, I like Steel Eel way more than i like millie, maybe for the simple fact that i actually like Steel Eel.

Maggie is better, though.

As for superman, I think its too spread out, and in the way of landscape, i hope you mean the cliff, because aside from that there is none.

And polty = bleh.

Also, I forgot to mention..If you have time at the end of the night at Fiesta Texas, be sure and catch Monster Mash Bash (the park's closing show) which is amazing. It is literally the entire reason i'm driving the 4 hours to Fiesta Texas next weekend. Totally awesome. *** Edited 10/14/2005 7:50:09 AM UTC by Xander***

Sea World is a must. Carrie likes the animals, I want to get on the Morgan, plus with her travel agent discount, we get tickets for 1/2 price!

YES the cliff! To me it is amazing!

Maybe I'm biased because of FL's terrain, but those quarry walls are *impressive*...

Polty has the best KICK out of the spaghetti bowls IMO, with an extra 2-3 mph in the launch which makes the ride a little better than the rest.

Of course, I thought Great White was perhaps the roughest B:TR I've ridden...best theming, worst ride. Oddly enough, this is *the park* where the Morgan makes up for the Beemer....how strange is THAT?

I've gotten my credit on OT's kiddie, no problem. I did have to abduct a kid, but...

I find Giant in the front tolerable, but anywhere else is really really painful. Like, I'd rather hit myself in the nuts than ride it.

I'll be at OT on Fri night most likely and will again next Fri night. Also heading down to SFAW next Sat.

Ok, Andy. When we go to SFoT next Friday, I'll take the back seat on Giant and you take the front. Does the front offer more air than the back? TG looks like it could be the rare exception where I prefer the front.

I thought the front had mad air, butit may have been because I was too busy holding my head in the back to notice anything fun. :P

LOL. Cool, sounds like something to look forward to--both the front AND back. :)

To get the kiddie credit at SFOT, the ride operator let a group of us ride with the lone kid onboard. It took some pestering, but he said to make sure we pretended we were part of his family. I said it in another thread, I love the Texas Rangers boat dark ride at OT.

To avoid: Well, Batman the Escape at AW isn't real fun due to the padding in the earpads. It does have a great layout though. The Rattler at FT. Parts of the ride are genius like the first drop into the sweeping left turn, but then it's into the dreaded triple up and down helix, which will have you scratching your head and asking WHY! the whole time. Then after that the ride picks up steam again after the midcourse into the tunnel. So it's definitely a one-and-done deal. I would imagine the Scooby-Doo Ride is very similar to the Paramount versions, so you can probably avoid that if you like the Sally shoot-em' up Dark Rides.

4) Baseball season is OVER in Arlington, can't imagine having parking problems...

actually baseball season for the astros is still going on, they are playing the cardinals saturday and sunday in houston

and yes baseball is over in arlington, but that is where the texas rangers play

I would say John and Carrie had a nice trip!

I was glad to have met them! He really enjoyed the park and noticed the charm it has. He loved the Serpent, Viper and Myan! I am happy I was able to show my park to them! It was a very light day and most everything was a walk on. WE had a very nice ride on the Bamboo Shoot! I love log rides!

Greezed had a mis index error and went down a bit. Hopefully he was able to ride it after we seperated. Batman was closed, but opened after we split up! I told him to keep his eyes open because rides have been opening at odd times because of staffing issues.

Again I hope he noticed it did open and get his ride in. They closed the Ultra Twister and moved the crew to Batman to give park goers a chance to get that in later in the night. That's creative staffing!

He was upping his coaster count as we rode each one. I think I left him at 421!

He's off to Dallas in the morning! Good luck there, the lines will be MUCH longer than what we had at AW.

IF any of you guys are coming to AW any day other than Saturdays, and need a personal guide, let me know! I love doing it ! Frightman@hotmail.com

There's a simple solution to this. Lean your head forward so it doesn't get boxed by the OTSR restraints.

Also, standing in the front is much easier on the noggin than the rear of the train.
