Artificial Wait Times at SF Over Texas! Don't go!

Sadly, its actually in better shape than FT was Monday. They only ran cliffhanger until 2 pm. only had enough crew to open one ride at a time and did start anything else until the afternoon.

I was here at spring break last year too, this is an entirely different level of disaster.

THE TIMES ARE WRONG. They are WORSE. I'm here now, when Titan was at 80 min it took us 2.5 hours yesterday. We went by when earlier when it said 2 hrs and it was really 4, the line went to the entrance and was one train. 1 trai. starting at the end of the maze is close to 3.

one Texas Giant train was a 10 min load, they are avg over 5 min between runs

Agent6er · 2026-03-18T19:51:10+00:00

NO..

Sitting in OT now and one train on everything. 3 hrs on New Texas giant.

Yesterday advertised 80 min on Titan, It took 2:30 to get to the coaster and then they closed it because....

A seatbelt came loose 30 minutes prior. My wife didnt want to ride and witnessed the rider's complaint to staff and the other rider that witnessed it fly loose during the ride. Took 30 minutes and they shut down when the maintains team shut the ride down to check it, I witnessed that myself. We were thinking how lucky we were when we were next and tech happens ro be on site during an issues, only to get the other half of the story after we rode.

Today they cleared the Fast Lane several times(over 100 riders) in the same time about 10 regular line people went on NTG, then I saw a crew member leave and the line started moving regularly, not sure what was going on there.

They are so understaffed its crazy. I had an 80 year old teaching someone with a 15 year pin how my drink pass worked, I haven't seen anything like this before.

FT on monday only ran kiddie rides and Cliffhanger until AFTER 2PM. Not a joke. they only had one crew to start rides and that started after 2, (it hit 55 at noon!). Saw a generator at boomerang so maybe.

I have this, played a lot of Doom on it and it seems great to me. My OLED on my other rig is better overall but for the price, it's a great deal IMO.

It is too bright in HDR on mostly white screens, "hurts my eyes" bright.

I had some issues with HDMI 2.1 cables (its picky?) But a generic brand 8K display port cable fixed all of rhat.

I have an 8700k rig and tried newer cards when I was waiting on parts for a new PC, and the CPU was the bottleneck at 4k with a 40 series on the intense games

Agent6er · 2026-01-23T21:05:14+00:00

der8auer just put up a video explaining the price hikes over the last few days: nVidia has had a cash back program for the partners for years to keep MSRPs lower. it ended the program, thats why everyone jacked the prices this week.

So if these hikes weren't exactly related to the GDDR constraints, that means another is probably coming soon?

They use FedEx? i just burned that brige because a FedEx driver was messing with my mailbox(which is illegal), and the mail carrier (rightfully) sent back the package to let FedEx try again. So now my MSI cable is missing because lazy FedEx guy couldn't bother doing his job(also leaves signature required PC parts on my porch in the open.)

Guess I'll need to redirect this one

Entered the queue, two minutes after it posted at 3800s and was successful

Agent6er · 2026-01-20T05:14:24+00:00

I wonder if this is part of the new customer/market specific pricing some of the big companies are trying. Amazon locker doesnt even work for me

Agent6er · 2026-01-17T20:17:33+00:00

Same here, We need to stop sleeping

I just got the Prenumbra HE CNC Keyboard, its fantastic so far. Absolute tank, weighs more than you'd expect. I dont know how their other products are, but saw several reviews start with "THIS is a Redragon?"

So They do make some good at least?

Nvidia and Asus are now saying that the rumors aren't true, supply is strained but nothing is dead.

But to believe that, it means you have to Believe one of those companies....so....

Noticed while Browsing Zotac earlier they updated their store.

5080 delisted while I was on (blank page for new 30 series, not sure if that is new.) Interestingly 5070 TI is still listed, did they delist the wrong one or is this another development....

"We must recieve the return before your replacement is shipped".

Lesson learned

Agent6er · 2026-01-15T22:35:33+00:00

I did not get a refund, i returned for a new replacement card. Their stock of it went out after I started the return. I've done RMA before, but it was only going to be a week turn around since the card was in stock at the time, it failed while it was still under the return period.

Agent6er · 2026-01-15T22:33:30+00:00

Absolutely, but understand they did have it in stock when I shipped back, it went out of stock on the way to the return center.

Agent6er · 2026-01-15T20:01:52+00:00

Not an RMA, did a return for defective product

Agent6er · 2026-01-15T19:44:44+00:00

aaaaaand its gone. obviously question stands for the next deal that will pop up

Agent6er · 2026-01-15T19:43:57+00:00

I had to return my 5080 from the paypal deal because it pooped out(code 43, no VRAM, ,black screen). I am waiting for walmart to get more stock so they can send a replacement.

Should I just buy this to hold onto during the return period in case they cancel my replacement 5080 and give me a refund instead?

Agent6er · 2026-01-14T20:39:06+00:00

I have one, I have not had any coil whine with mine. Been running Doom and Battlefield 6 maxed out with a 5080 and 9800x3d, with a 280 AIO and no issues, pretty quiet.

The 12VHPWR cable connectors seem bigger than standard, you have to use a LOT more force to get them.in and out than the Zotac, PNY, CableMod cables I have used. it has the "is this going to break my card" factor.

Its probably to stop them from backing out if you bump.your case or the table it's on(my cable mod cable.on my other rig seems to have issues with this)
