Kara:
While MI has ST which is one of the great coasters (and cool beaver in the ponds), in pretty much every other respect SFA has a superior collection of coasters. It also is much better landscaped than MI. Don't misunderstand me , I had a good time at MI.
Where SFA is definitely behind MI is customer service. (I saw someone polishing the faucets when I was at MI.) However, SFA has greatly improved their customer service in the last few years, though they can still get overwhelmed on a busy summer weekend.

You couldn't pay me to go back there.
Kara,
I have to agree with everything everyone else has said. Before purchasing a season pass this year I read an awful lot of posts on rec.roller-coaster about how bad the park was. But I had an awesome summer at SFA and will be one of the first to renew my season pass for 2003 and will be the first to complain if the park returns to the old ways. If there was ever someone, someplace that deserved a second chance, I believe SFA does.
Coasterguts-where did you hear that it's supposed to be wet both saturday & sunday? sure it's gonna be chilly with highs only in the mid to upper 40's but for the most part it should be dry,although the colder temps might have an impact on wether or not most of the coasters are running (cough Jokers jinx cough) I hope most of the good ones are operational.
About the only chance we've got of any precipitation is very early on saturday morning and the park doesn't open till noon,I'll be glad after 3 to 4 straight days of rain to see some much needed sunshine around here.

That was yesterday's forecast. Today's forecast is much different. You know, the weather around here changes on a hourly basis.
Yeah,it's still gonna be chilly but at least it's gonna be dry.
I just got a call from one of my friends today & it looks like we've got a green light for our run to the park this weekend,so I'll be there on saturday freezing my tail off but still enjoying my last rides before the season ends.

PKD 2003...drop rides will never be the same...Intamin rocks!! :)
I'm going back one more time on Sunday. I'm taking my friend with me cause he has never been. I've only been once, and though I like Kings Dominion better, SFA is a nice little park with great rides. I need revenge on Two Face though, cause last time I went, I blacked out on the second hill going backwards, and I'm not going to let him win this time. :)
But yeah, hopefully someone wont puke all over the Batwing seats again and make me wait an hour to ride what would have been only a 10 minute wait. All things will go smooth for me this time. I'll see you all there if your going Sunday. Even though you don't know who I am. But oh well.
