For sure... I haven't been on that one yet. I have to find a day during the week to go, cuz like you mentioned the three hour weekend lines kind of destroy your day.

I road Tatsu a few weeks ago. It was pretty cool. There are parts of the ride where it feels like your going to shoot out of your harness and fly across the park into The Revolution. It's not as good as X. But it's the next best thing. I love the rides at Six Flags. I hope they don't have to close that place.

I had a Disneyland pass for a few years too. But that got kinda old.
Knotts Berry Farm has some good new rides as well. And it's cheap. Not to mention you can drink beers inside the park wich is a big +!

astroworld was cool till 6 flags took it over,then it went downhill fast,attendance lagged,they{lousy ass big fckin corp}decided the land was worth more than the park and tore it down.this 6 flags wasnt worth a crap,they quit having shows,let the park get rundown,the batman ride,a roller coaster,it had a batmobile parked in front of it,last time i went it had 2" of dust on it and a broken windshield,it looked like they didnt give a shit.theres no way in hell i'd buy their stock,they suck

There talking about doing the same thing to the six flags here in SoCal. Which is kind of ironic because they built the park back in the 50's in an attempt to bring people from LA over the mountian so that they could sell houses to them. Now that all the people came the land is worth more then the park. So in a sense the park might have killed itself. Go figure.

X Ride

The park also just opened up "tatsu", where you're actually sprawled out with your stomach facing the ground. Imagine going down that first hill, face first!

Tatsu Ride

theres a ride at the six flags near me (great adventure in NJ) thats just like tatsu but its called superman. They also have the tallest roller coaster in the world (kingda ka), but i havent been there in 4 years so i havent been able to go on it

so you're asking for tips from people you don't know and then saying that you already know all you need...

both part A and B of that are screwy. have fun.
