1st SFMM trip 2-17-07

Ok well my family is planning to go to SFMM on that day and I'll need as much information relating to rides that will be open, discounts (Print-n-go), etc.

My first question:
What rides will be open exactly. Mostly, I want to know if the following will be open/close.
-Orient Express..We're obviously going to need it since we don't want to go all the way around to reach Samurai Summit.
-X..I know its open but does anyone know of any scheduled down times for this ride.
-Ninja..I heard it was closed for rehab and I wanted to get that verified.
-Sky Tower..I'd be excited if it was open..

My Second Question:
Print-N-Go..Is it reliable? How does it work. Ok I've been to the site and I've noticed the Print-n-go discount and the site doesn't mention too much on how it works. SO my question is should I just buy a regular ticket at the ticket booths or should I use print-n-go. And if I use Print-N-Go will it let me choose which day the ticket is for?

My thrid question:
Any good suggestions on which ride I should go first or better yet second (I've chosen X as my first ride) and what way should I go and I would like to know if there are any shortcuts to getting to X once the park opens (I heard of a Revolution exit route? How do you go through it?)

Finally, I would like to say a few things and mention some stuff. I've made up my mind over what park I want to go and that's SFMM. Don't bother to change my mind by telling me to go to KBF or DCA or DL because I won't be interested. Also I've seen different posts on this site and if your going to make an "immature" remark well F* Off because I am not interested in that either.

Well, if you need any info on Magic Mountain, I'm sure you should probably contact coolbeans...he knows everything about it!

The only closed rides would probably be psyclone and flashback. Ninja is getting a paint job, but it might be done by then. X is open for only about a half hour every day before it breaks down so get on it early.
Get to x first, then just go clockwise around the park.

as for the immature remark: weener!

I've never used print and go at SFMM, but I've used the same system for Universal Studios. But it should work fine, just make sure your printer works.[;)] Also bring ID.

As for open rides...

Also either buy a Flash Pass for Tatsu or wait towards the end of the day when most people in the park have already gone on it. ALso right when you get off of X, dart towards Deja Vu and then hit all the rides in the back of the park. Most people are usually standing in line for X, Viper, and Tatsu in the morning.

I thought De Ja Vu was down for maintainance? That's what it said on the website. Otherwise I think that's it. Although I want to knoew, how crowded will it be?

I just went on deja vu last weekend. Tatsu actually had pretty short lines compared to X and goliath.

That's good to hear. Hopefully the lines won't be longer then an hour.

You'll want to definitely hit up Tatsu first (my freinds went last week and said one of the employees standing on the bridge told them X is til the end of the month) and then like everyone else said go on Deja Vu, then Riddler's, Batman, Scream (I usually get in 2 before the rest of the crowds catch up), then Goliath, Colossus, (in any order - short lines) Revolution, Viper, Ninja, or Superman. That's how I do it when I go (and i always get on everything without many people), so you should be good with this, and I always end up riding everything before lunch. Hope I helped.

"Also I've seen different posts on this site and if your going to make an "immature" remark well F* Off because I am not interested in that either."

Haha way to invite immature remarks by saying one yourself. What a dork.

^Couldn't have said it better myself dcs [88]

Now that I really hear all this, I wish I could go to SFMM...I'm really interested in Goliath, Scream, Tatsu, X, and Viper. Although, if I wanted to get on Scream, I could go the closer distance to SFGAdv for Medusa. Also, SFGAdv has Kingda Ka...[/off-topic]

Haha way to invite immature remarks by saying one yourself.

And what exact remark is that except the one made by Symbiotic. I mean what I say and when I say F*Off I mean it because some people here are brainless.

Anyway back on topic. Hopefully this day won't into a wreck. I'll try to beat the crowd for the most part and hopefully I'll finish off everything before the park closes.

^^^Hyper dude, X reopened on February the 4th.

I believe the Revolution exit shortcut is for Tatsu access, opposed to X. When I visited the park, the only way to X was to use the bridge right around from Viper's station. If you head all the way to the left of the park upon opening, you should be able to find it easily. You walk right under it prior to making the turn to access it.

As for the remainder of the day, everyone has pretty much summed it up. Head to Deja after X, and use the single rider line if possible. It's loacted on the other site of the exit ramp/stairs. After Deja is outta the way, you should be able to work your way around the park. To get your Tatsu rides in, it sounds like the best time is near closing, or you could just invest in a few flash passes.

Have fun!

Oh yeah, I used the Print-N-Go system at Six Flags New England last season and it worked out great. The tickets are sen't in .pfd format, so if you choose this method, make sure you have that program (I can't recall the name, A something...). I don't remember if we had to show identification at the gate, but I would definitely bring an ID to be sure.

that is the reason I originally locked the topic

I went back in November and Sky Tower was opened in the afternoon

I think it's called Acrobat and I'm very sure I have it. Can you choose which day the tickets are for though? or do you have to order the tickets on the day you go?
