- Thread starter alexp2805
- Start date
At his current output, maybe as soon as 2037!
If someone wants to setup an actual meetup, feel free to make a thread for it. All three admins will be at the park Sunday—rare opportunity for a complete decapitating strike against ParkFans leadership!

SFA last day meetup
Does anyone want to meet up at some point at SFA? ACE will also be doing an unofficial meetup, but if anyone on ParkFans wants to meet up I'd lean towards that over ACE
parkfans.net
Guys I have been talking to to people who alhave connections with upper level park management and they expect this weekend to be insanely packed. They are also reiterating that everyone both those with positions secured at other SF parks and those shortly unemployed are working their asses off to ensure everything goes as somethly as possible but therd will certainly be hiccups and issues please pack some patients and be understanding and excepting of the situation. Ride of Steel will be one train ops that is a long standing situation that was completely unexpected a few months ago and far beyond the parks control. Wild One may also be on one teain only ops as a heads.
Also sorry had pickup a phone call as I started writing this post and somehow my phone posted it with only 3 words writen.

See his edit.
If you want rides, get there before open and credit ran prioritizing Superman, Joker, and Wild One. I definitely anticipate chaos. Just part of the experience.

well, I went to the park in 2016 where I ride ragin cajun, gonna miss the park besides my only trip to the park was in 2016
Apparently the signs along central avenue have already been removed
Even though it was quite janky in many ways, I'm going to miss this park. I loved my most recent visit back in 2019. I had so much fun with my family in the waterpark and on Joker's Jinx! It is a good business decision IMO to close, many parks will benefit from the dispersal of flat rides, but it is sad. Good memories.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it out today or tomorrow for it's final weekend. I wish I could've, but I was able to get three visits in this season and ride almost every coaster there one last time. I hope everyone who is attending tomorrow has a great time and I hope to see some pictures. The memories of this place will still live on with me.
It’s very tempting to just write off my final days at this job and hop on a plane tomorrow morning, but not at all feasible at this point. Hope everyone has a great time!
I'll be honest, that interview looked like someone with absolutely zero access to, knowledge of, or influence over the sale deliberations trying to put on a strong face and project confidence to the local community.
IF she's correct and there's a bunch of competition, I think it likely spells doom for any hopes of an amusement or theme park on the site though. In my opinion, our only hopes were for there to be super muted interest and for a park operator to be the only one with a competitive bid (cornering Six Flags into not forbidding amusement development on the land) or for the county to refuse to consider any development on the site that isn't an amusement park use (which they've declined to do).
If Six Flags has their pick of competitive offers and a giant mixed use development (like National Harbor) is on the table as a possibility for the site, Six Flags is NEVER chosing to endanger their other properties in the region by opting to sell to a park operator.

There's plenty of bittersweet emotion to go around, but it's stuff like the first video here that really gets me. It took a single show for me to develop an admiration for this stunt team, and after seeing them several more times and learning just how much they love what they do, everything hits that much harder. They deserve three rousing ovations tomorrow.

Sad realizing that I just put SFA into waze for the last time. But on my way for wake.

Went to BGW last night, stayed in Fredericksburg overnight to avoid the long drive from the beach. Gonna leave soon to be in the parking lot around an hour and a half before opening to avoid crazy crowds
