Okay, I think it will be fun and the more NoCal Lpers we can get; the better I think. The park is open from 4PM-10PM so we don’t even have to get up early or rush to get there. You can check them out at sixflags.com.

I hope I can get on all the good coasters in that time. Let's keep our eyes out for discounts. I found this and didn't take it any further. <a href="http://reservations.sfvisitor.org/797_attraction-tickets_a123.html" target="_blank">http://reservations.sfvisitor....123.html</a>

Just didn't want to seem like I was ignoring it That day is our traditional girls day of shopping. The young ones start out at 4am and we "oldsters" join them for lunch and browsing. Ending the day with Thanksgiving leftovers and the guys insisting we are nuts. Have fun!

That would be V2, Roar and now Tony Hawk. But last year was their first Christmas celebration so they may delay some of the maintenance this year. Do not know. But Medusa and the other rides on the north end were running.
