Opening Statement:

I heard many bad and good things about this park and wasn’t sure what to exspect. Well we arrived at opening and it was already 91 out and it got up to a scorching 102! I was shocked to see it cost 50 bucks to get in! This park has alot less then cedar point and Geauga lake and there charging 50 to get in, what a rip off.

Ride Reviews:

Superman Ride Of Steel 10/10

AMAZING ride! the speed seems so much faster then it is and you get alot of airtime throughout the ride.

Batwing 5/10

It was a ok ride very rough and not very exciting since its a clone of X-Flight and i knew what to exspect.

Jokers Jinx 6/10

This ride was a clone of the flight of fear rides in the old paramount chain. The only difference between the rides is that jokers jix is outside and FoF is inside, which IMO FoF is much better.

Now we headed over to the waterpark. WOW best waterpark i been to hands down. A large variety of slides and almost there was no lines at all so we got to everything here over and over again. I loved this waterpark, i think WWK would be better then it but WWK needs much more slides to compete with hurricane harbor.

Two Face: The Flip Side 7/10

Another clone lol Wink. Fun ride but i liked Face off and Kings Island better.

Wild One 6/10

A Classic woody that def. lives up to its name of wild one. This things flies through turns and i actually thought it would derail ever corner! Fun ride but very intense and bad location.

Roar 8/10

WOW! this ride is crazy it criss crosses itself over 20 times, thats insane! very fun and i enjoyed this ride more then i thought i would.

The Mind Eraser 0/10

Another SLC Clone and wow this sucked. It hurt so bad my whole family was in pain and this ride was no fun at all and through out the whole ride i was praying for it to end. Worst ride i have ever ridden easily.


Summary:
-Bad insane prices
+No crowds means no lines! Longest line was 5min for superman front seat, im serious too only 5 min!
-No Rides were open except the coasters and all the flat rides were closed
-Lots of breakdowns through the day
-Bad employees who were mean, unhelpful, and none of them cared about safety what so ever.
+Great waterpark
-Park unkept and not very clean, alot of things need to be painted and spruced up.

Conclusion:
Horrible park never visit unless you get money off the entrance price, the only 3 things i liked were superman, roar, and hurricane harbor.

Can you clearify this more, last time i checked, those were the two basic types of rides. America is an ok park, but at 50 dollars is a rip off. How much was parking and food?

If my trip to BGE/KD would have happened this year I was tempted to hit SFA for the first time despite all the cloned coasters it has. By your TR I guess I didn't miss much.

Thanks for posting.

Actually Roar at SFA was the first with the one at SFDK coming afterwards.  SFDK's was the first to have the GCI Millennium Flyer trains.

I have ridden SFDK's about six years ago and I think the layout is excellent. A lot of twisting and criss-crossing of the track made it my favorite California wood coaster. I'm sure SFA's is equally as good with the PTC's.

The only good looking thing about GA is the entrance building.
