So...
I went to Tejas and Mexico City. Here's some pictures and words.
First, I went to Sandy Lake Park. It's a smallish park in Carrolton, T.X. that caters largely to groups and businesses. It's kind of like Stricker's Grove, but with more public access.
They have a Pretzel dark ride, a Herschell Little Dipper, and a bunch of older flats. I tried to go here two years ago, but they didn't bother to open the day I was there, despite the calendar on the website and a phone call to the park to confirm. As soon as I got there this time, I figured out what was up. They are laid back, to a fault.
The guy who opened the gate dragged his feet, puttering around with everything and eventually actually settling down to accept cars in the lot about 5 minutes after the park was supposed to be open. The lady in the ticket booth hadn't even put her drawer in the register when I walked up o get ride tickets. The few ride ops didn't speak English and seemed put off that people had actually showed up and wanted to ride. I took a ride on each of the coasters, plus one spin on the Pretzel and got the heck out of there.
Over to 6FoT, I hoped to pick up all the coasters I'd missed the first time I'd been to Tejas. I didn't actually take any pictures, but I did get some video footage and all the credits.
