SFWoA Actually ran FULL Capacity!

It would be kinda confusing running 3 trains on X-Flight because they would have to make sure the train ends up coming back into the right side of the station for people who set stuff to the side. It would be able to be done but it might be a little more confusing. Vekoma should have designed it to have 2 brake runs instead of one.

I'm happy to see that SFWoA is running there other coasters at a better capacity. I have also noticed nicer and better employees this year. Which I think employees are one of the main thing that makes a park better. (other than coasters)

I dont understand how everything was at full capacity. I must have hit on bad days. The only ones running 2 trains was The Villian, and B:KF. Everything else was one train. Park was packed. At least a half hour to a hour for most rides if you wanted front seats. If not 20 to 25 minutes. I wish i knew when enough people was enough to run 2 trains. If i did those would be the days i would go. Like i said the park is great. We loved it. Also the less time people stand in line the more time they can buy things and eat at the booths. SF isnt making money when people are standing in line.

Wow...so X-Flight's 3rd train is torn up? I think that Batwing's 3rd train is on the transfer track. I myself actually haven't seen Batwing run with 2 trains, although I've heard that it has. Is it just a matter of staffing, as it may take at least 5-8 people to run boths stations at once. And SFA has been kinda pathetic with their coaster staffing before, as Two-Face and Mind Eraser have possibly been run with onlt 2 ops a piece. Anyway, enough about this....Why did they even bother with a 3-train design if they aren't going to use it? Also of note, Batwing has managed to get the recline on the lift down, but not the uprighting near the ending down.

RllrCstrDude187: There's nothing confusing about it. That's what the computers are for. There is no reason there would ever be a need for two brake runs. If there's a train on the brake run, there's one in the station. The other is either in the station, and if it's not, it's on its way up the lift, in which case there's an empty station.

Of all the parks I've ever been to, I must say Six Flags Worlds of Adventure has the most potential of them all. I'd be curious to see how Six Flags stacks up to the other major midwest amusement parks ten or even fifteen years from now....who knows what might be in store.

We've been saying that since the mid-80's. With the right leadership that property has mega-potential. In terms of X-Flight, I understand that the computer system is so bad that the ride ops still have to manually tilt the trains prior to the lift when the computer is supposed to do that.
