I got to Six Flags Over Texas at 12:30 on Friday, and first went to get my lunch (which is also my breakfast). I ate at Gator McGee's Alligator Grill next to Runaway Mountain. The Buffalo Chicken Tenders were very good.
I next walked over to Runaway Mountain. The line was short, and the ride wasn't too bad either. It is not too thrilling, but it does pack a nice punch. 6/10
I started walking to the Texas area. Titan was closest, so I took the only two rides of the day at that time. This is my favorite coaster, over Magnum. The helixes are strong, the first drop is great, and you really float on the floater hill. 10/10
Next to it was The Texas Giant, so I went on that. It is bumpy, rough, and long. But that doesn't ruin the experience. I love being bounced around on ride, as long as it doesn't hurt. I love this ride. The last one thousand feet are pure genius. 9/10
I took the train over to Gotham City, where I found Mr. Freeze closed. So, I went to Batman: The Ride. This is a fun ride. The forces are excellent, and very fun to anyone. 8/10
Once I got off Batman, Mr. Freeze opened. I ran in and got one of the first rides. The new lapbars are very comfy and enhances the rides effect. It still isn't the smoothest ride around, but with the new bars, I wouldn't have it any other way. 8/10
I still had an hour, so I hit the out and back Judge Roy Scream (7/10, very relaxing), Shockwave (hurts a little, but fun nonetheless 6/10), and Flashback ( I got a bloody nose! 2/10).
I hit flat rides are well. The good were Yosemite Sam's Gold River Rush, El Sumbrero (spinning), Skycoaster, and Train (needed to relax). The bad were the Antique Cars and The Missile Chaser.
The new FastPass Lo-Q system sucks. I'm not paying $20 to get to the front of the line. For that price, I'll easily wait.
Overall, the park gets an 8/10. The employees are nice, the park is clean, pretty, and has a wonderful atmosphere to be around. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good time.

Good TR. Glad you enjoyed it!
Was this your first SFoT trip?
No, I live in Flower Mound, Texas, and Six Flags Over Texas is only thirty to forty-five minutes away. I've gone twice this season and about ten times last year.

but is Titan better than Goliath? Or is it just longer? The world may never know till August. (Hint: my AOL screen name is GoliathKills, kills being as in the best *kills the competition)
I haven't been to Six Flags Magic Mountain, bu from pictures, I an fill you in on what I know:
Goliath is themed better, on an off the ride
Titan offers a better ride- extra helix
That's it.
