Because the YouTube video tutorials are posted here same like I also embed YouTube video code at my own web site, because it is easy to take embedded code.

Rode middle today Friday 8/3/12. I now understand the bad reviews. I even noticed a big difference in smoothness between the 1st and 2nd rows. I'd say it's worth a ride it in the front row only.
Each coaster at the park still only running 1 train today. The park was not crowded so it did't really matter…

I rode it for the first time today Thursday 7/12/12.
I loved it!
I got front row because there was not a bad line. I was blown away by how intense this little coaster was. I guess I may have gotten lucky with the front row because there was no real head-banging. I'll have to try the middle and back next time I go to see if it's as bad as everyone says.
As far as Six Flags America's bad rep… I think it's improving. I went there once before in 2004. It seems much better now. Everything was clean. All of the staff I encountered were very outgoing and friendly, and every single ride op had a lot of energy and their own way of trying to pump up the riders.
Only one train running on each coaster today though. An op that I spoke to said they run two trains on Wednesdays, and Fridays.

This is at my home park, and I rode it last year. It didn't hurt. at all. even with the head stuff.

I should also add since this was about Mind Eraser that it did give me some headbanging but it is ok if you just ride it once.

I would have to concur with the Critic on this one. My wife and I went last year on a Sunday and we had a great day in the park. Some of the comments are true as far as the park doesn't have the best themeing or landscaping but it is worth a trip for the rides CC mentioned. I thought superman was better than it gets credit for and Batwing is intense. Wild one is a great wooden coaster. Like most other parks I'd try to get there early because the crowds might be smaller than but have fun.

PS-There's a high crime rate In the park itself, not just the city. Wallets and purses should stay hidden.

Sorry about the double commment.

I found that Jokers' Jinx was realy fun, and it was always a walk-on when I rode it. ( I rode it four times)

I'd only go if you can get in for next to nothing. SFA is not worth full price… hell, not even half price. Plan on encountering some of the most inconsiderate ride-ops and other park staff. Plan on getting people cutting in line. Plan on waiting at least an hour and a half to ride Batwing. And after your Batwing ride, don't plan on riding anything else other than Superman and Wild One for the rest of the day. Joker's Jinx's line is excruciating and the ride is a total letdown, and riding Roar and Mind Eraser in the same day is like asking for brain hemorrhaging.

I hate to be so negative, but sometimes the truth hurts… SFA is only a park in the definitive sense. It has rides and games and music, but when it constantly reminds you of one of your first failed Roller Coaster Tycoon parks, there's a problem.

Also, its in Bowie. Enough said.

Mind Eraser is a good name for SLCs, after you ride you're mind has been erased of the reason you went on the ride.
