So me, Matt, and 4 others went to SFoT for Labor Day weekend (Well, Matt went to Houston too). I went to ride the world's most Amazing coaster (2nd most amazing if you're Matt).

Liked Titan. I loved Goliath when I rode it, but Titan didn't deliver as much. Still fun, and I greyed out twice.

They can paint the whole thing red as far as I'm concerned ;).

I can honestly say, I thought it would be a good ride, but didn't expect it to be that awesome. My favorite seat was in the front, as that was where the airtime was strongest (Though you loose the pull over the first drop from the back).

The trains are comfy. The effects were a nice added touch. El Toro's first 2 hills after the drop and the hill over Rolling Thunder are still better than any of the hills on Texas Giant, but TG's hills are a close second. The reason, to me, that TG is better is because there are more hills, it's more agressive, has different elements, etc. Granted, TG is steel (now) and El Toro is wood, I'm just saying why TG is my new #1, beating out El Toro.

Agressive ejector airtime, no dead spot, every element was spot on, and they even have theming. I've yet to ride something better. And that includes The Voyage in top form.

Im pretty sure you getting the IN-N-Out credit was the most important part of the trip :lol: Boy do I miss In-N-Out :(
