T-Wolf, I'd like to correct you on your Six Flags over Texas themed areas and flags. I live 2 hours from SFOT and will soon live about 2 miles from there. I was born and raised in Texas and have had Texas History thrown at me since elementary school. The 6 flags and original themed areas of SFOT are:
US
Texas
Mexico
Spain
France
Confederacy
Brittain is not a part of the mix. Just a little FYI. :)
Now, on with the debate again! ;)
Personally, the only Six Flags parks I have been to are SFOT, SFStL, and Astroworld. I was at SFStL and Astroworld before I was old enough to even remember anything, so they don't count. My other park experiences are Cedar Point, Silver Dollar City, Opryland USA, and Holiday World.
SFOT seems as though it's not from the same mold as a lot of the other SF parks. I've never experienced a lot of the problems that I read about at other SF parks. It's always clean. The food is alright. The ride ops and staff have never been super-friendly like at CP or HW, but they've never come off as being blatantly rude and uncaring either like I read about other parks. A lot of SF parks are getting slammed and ragged on all the time. Not to pick on any certain parks, but SFO and SFKK seem to be the most hated. Elitch Gardens just might as well not exist, either, as much as I hear about it (almost never). It really seems as though the bad reps of a couple of parks are being stereotyped into the entire SF chain. Maybe the problem is just with the young SF parks. I rarely ever hear anything awful about the 3 originals, SFOT, SFOG, and SFStL. Even the 3 followers, SFGAdv, SFGA, and SFMM don't get a whole lot of negative comments, aside from the SFMM vs CP debates. It just seems to me like some people are a little hard on the entire chain just from their experiences at 1 or 2 parks. I think that's unfair. 甀搀最攀 琀栀攀 瀀愀爀欀猀 猀攀瀀愀爀愀琀攀氀礀⸀ 夀漀甀爀 攀砀瀀攀爀椀攀渀挀攀 愀琀 匀䘀伀 眀椀氀氀 戀攀 攀渀琀椀爀攀氀礀 搀椀昀昀攀爀攀渀琀 昀爀漀洀 礀漀甀爀 攀砀瀀攀爀椀攀渀挀攀 愀琀 匀䘀伀䜀 漀爀 愀渀礀 漀琀栀攀爀 匀䘀 瀀愀爀欀⸀ 刀攀洀攀洀戀攀爀 琀栀愀琀 愀渀搀 琀愀欀攀 琀栀愀琀 椀渀琀漀 挀漀渀猀椀搀攀爀愀琀椀漀渀 戀攀昀漀爀攀 礀漀甀 挀漀渀搀攀洀渀 愀渀搀 攀渀琀椀爀攀 挀栀愀椀渀 漀昀 瀀愀爀欀猀⸀
