I am going up to SFO Sat and would love to hear all the tips I can! Thanks:)
Have fun at Oktoberfest... and ride anything and everything you can. Go for the Villian first, then to Superman Ultimate Escape. Tour the Thriller/Log Ride Midway for some GOOD Oktoberfest Food (Cheesesteaks, Pierogies, Italian Sausage, Gyros, even the Fajitas are good) and then head for Batman: Knight Flight to cover the new ones. Hit the Big Dipper, now that the motor runs (minus the weight of the back car though) and if you like em try the SLC for fun. Do what you can when you can... and keep your wits about you because the guests sure pack away the beer.
Get as many rides on the Villian in as possible! This is truly on great coaster! Avoid Serial Thriller at all cost, unless you are into the pain and torture thing.

I LOVE Serial Thriller. It's not that bad, just keep your head back.
Thank you! I am leaving late but I should be up there in about 1 1/2 hours. Thanks again:)
Watch out for flying cell phones!!

Name of Ride: Roller Coaster
Yeah, I know its a roller coaster, whats the real name?
What would CP have anything to do with SFO? Answer: Nothing. Heh, thanks for playing though!
My tips: Ride Supes first in the front row. Then head toward the back everytime after that.
Go to BKF and head for front row also. Front right to be exact. Best seat on the ride. Try back right also if you'd like, but I'd definitely spend most of my time in the front row.
Up next might be the Villain. Go for the very last row but DO NOT, repeat *DO NOT* sit in the silver train. By all means, avoid it like the plague. The lap bars in the back car on silver have almost no springs, making for a very uncomfortable ride. Red train is the only one to ride.
After that, hit all the other coasters at your leisure. I usually hit the Big Three most often, but like to ride all the others too. RWB is a horrible ride, but it's fun to carry a conversation on it. Ride Big Dipper if it's open in the very back row (IS it open yet?). Very awesome ride back there.
That's about it. Just don't forget to have fun!
LOL, just realized it was Sun morning when I posted that...nevermind! :)
I went, didn't think much of it and don't wish to return for a while. I rode S:UE first with around a 20 minute wait, that ride is sweet! Then headed over to the BKF and rode in the second row, this was my favorite of the rides there. Then the Villan which I found to be a well designed coaster with terrible trains. I am 6'4" and had NO leg room what so ever! This is why I only rode it 2 times. This park has made alot of progress form the old Gueaga Lake but still need alot of work to be a good park. Bad food, dirty paths and rude employees made for a fair day. The only really good things about this trip were 1. I went on a cold day (around 50 degrees) making the crowds low and 2. I didn't have to pay a dime to enter because of a free ticket I received from AOL. Thank you all once again for the tips. I will return next year to see if I can have a better time. Maybe I am used to the best because of Cedar Point and expected too much.
