I think this park would be more beloved if they worked on more consistent park appearance. There are plenty of parks that have a generally midrange coaster collection but are beloved because the overall experience is so good. Silverwood comes to mind. SFA could be really cool if they had better appearance, landscaping and a more dynamic layout. I don't think it would take a lot of work for this park to become something great, and they'd only need to add maybe one additional coaster or thrill ride. But that would require that Six Flags actually cared about this park.

The front half of SFA is reasonable but the back half is horrific. Like why have trees when you can just have concrete everywhere? Maybe my least favorite section of any park anywhere.

It was odd because going so slow I actually got hang time on it, which was very interesting.

As much as I may dislike Roar & Firebird, I have enjoyed the rest of the park on both my visits, even Mind Eraser. I only got on a few waterslides, but they were good. There was a set of body slides that were giving airtime, sending your body off the slide briefly. I like the top 4 coasters at this park. Superman is an easy winner, but I give the edge to Batwing over Jokers Jinx for my 2nd favorite. Lines haven't been an issue for me here, even when the park was packed.

I visited SFA a little over two weeks ago. I heard Mind Eraser was bad. However, it did not seem bad at all when I rode it. Still bumpy like most slc's but rideable. I rode it in the front. There was only one train (looked like both trains were combined to make one) with 8 rows instead of 10. The second train was nowhere in sight. I do have a method when I ride a Vekoma SLC. I keep my right ear pressed firmly against the restraint during the ride to prevent head banging. When I do that the ride experience is not so bad.
