Just got back from a school trip with my daughter to San Antonio. Went to the Alamo, other missions and the Riverwalk on Sunday, Sea World on Monday, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas on Tuesday. Don't get me wrong- we did have fun at those parks but you really get a greater appreciation for the way SDC is run after visiting. Maybe it was because the crowds were thinner on Tuesday but when we went to ride the Gully Washer (version of the Lost River of the Ozarks) they weren't putting the max in the boats. The line had a 20 - 25 minute wait and they were letting as little as 2 people ride in an 8-person boat. We didn't ride a lot of variety of coasters since most went upside down or spun around and neither my daughter or I are fans of those. The only coaster i could talk her into riding was the Road Runner Express which is a fast mine train. I did ride the Iron Rattler which is very Outlaw-runnish (though I like Outlaw Run better!). Also there was loud modern country music playing through the western-themed area of the park and rock music throughout most of the rest of the park. Really makes me happy i'm much closer to our more laid-back SDC!
