^ that's fan boy attitude right there, and such posts will be regarded as such, and can not be used to form an opinion, thank you very much, so use some reasons why its better not just, "CP is the l33tz0rzzz!" type stuff.[:)]

Well, since we're sharing SFMM wait times, I'll join in. When I went there over Summer on a hot Wednesday, the lines were amazingly short.

viper - 5
deja vu - why bother lol
pcyclone - 10, but why bother once again
ninja - 0
superman - 0
riddler - 10
batman - 15
scream - 0
collosus - 0
goliath - 10
x - 0(first ride of the day), 35 (midday)

It's amazing how empty the park can be when you go on a Wednesday or Tuesday over Summer, especially hot days when most people go to Hurricane Harbor instead.

Now as for CP, I've gone once on a Friday over Summer, and it was quite crowded.

Blue Streak-5
Disaster Transport-125 (surprisingly long wait, the line took forever)
Gemini-25
Iron Dragon-30
Magnum XL200-45(best ride considering line time of the day)
Mantis-50
Mean Streak-30
Millenium Force-150
Raptor-45
TTD-5 hours and not even working most of the day, I didn't bother
Wicked Twister-120 for a clone, I didn't bother
Wildcat-30

I'm going to Cp early august this year. I guess the lines will be enormous at that time? Anyways I'm realy looking forward to going there. I've never been in the US before, and just going to a park with 16 coasters must be amazing.

Well, this is coming from someone who lives down in FL, visited both parks, and is not a particular fan of any of the 2. If you ask my opinion I'm gonna have to go with CP on this one. Though I'm one of those hardcore teenagers (19 yr old college student) that Six Flags were looking for, I had a much better time at CP than SF.

When I went to Six Flags, we were there at opening and got into 3 different lines and while we were in line each one broke down, by this time it was prob around 11-12 and i was already pissed and ready to leave, but my friends convinced me to stay, so i got in line for another. That line (Batman) was about a 1:30 hr wait and as we were in line we were wondering why the line was long cuz the park was relatively empty. When we finally get to the station we come to find out that they had 1 train running and the other was just sitting there and the employees were just strutting along wit no worries. They had enough staff to run both, but I dont know what there prob was. So we rode it but I didnt enjoy it cuz i was sooooo freaking pissed. By this time we decided to go and cool off and eat something, honestly that was the best point of the day. We ate played a few games, and just talked. After that we started walking again and another 4 rides wer closed. (Now keep count we've already been through 8 coasters, 3 brokedown, Batman, and 4 closed, and its about 3 in the afternoon) Finally we get to Scream and that one isnt so bad, line is about 20-30 mins, they have 2 trains going, and the staff isnt at best but they werent as bad as the Batman peeps were. We do this twice. Now its about 4ish. We pass by X and see about a 2 hr wait and keep walking. We see Goliath 40 min wait so we go in line. Turns out being 60 but after what we were put through already we really werent surprised stayed calm and just got on. Now this was the best staff of the day. Only 2 trains running but they had it almost like it was 3. They werent running or anything, but you could see they meant business. We got on and it was pretty cool. Now its a little after 5 and we decide to go back to the first ones we tried to go on and though the lines were pretty long we got on them anyways well 2 of them at least. After these 2 last rides it was about 7 almost 8 and we decided to go and get some sweets after complete exhaustion from all the ups and downs of the day. 2 of the others and I actually fell asleep, haha, i think that was pretty funny. So when we all wake up we finally decide to go home, and believe I couldnt wait. I woulda much rather spent the day in our hotel room watching tv or just sitting by the pool.

CP was a totally diff experience. NO ride breakdowns once while I was there. Longest line was 45 mins and that was understandably for dragster. Surprisingly descent food. And the staff wasnt exceptional, but they were at least trying.

Overall I had a way better experience at CP. Now SF, not in my opinion, may have the "better rides", but even if they did, (which they dont) it wouldnt matter cuz they dont work half the time anyways. What's the point of investing billions into something if it doesn't work. It's like me buying a Mercedes and taking it to the shop once a yr. Even though its a Mercedes it still needs work done. Now I know some of you are gonna say yea I just went on a bad day, but honestly how can all that go wrong and the park have Nothing to do with it. All these breakdowns and annoying staff there's something there. Like I said i'm in no way a hardcore fan of either park (Im an Islands of Adven man myself) but I just had to put my 2 cents or should I say 2 dollars in. Now go ahead and discriminate, but I said what I had to say. PEACE!!!!
