Has anyone ever been to Six Flags and had to park way in the back? The parking lots are like a mile long 0_o .
pansy. Besides if you go on a thursday at 9:00 am in the winter like the 5 families in this shot yer guaranteed a spot.
Well Aaron, considering the park isn’t open in the winter, I’m sure you would indeed be guaranteed a spot.
I’m trying to figure out why the parking lot is empty. My first thought was that the picture was taken very early in the morning, but if that were the case it’s unlikely that the parking lots at the nearby university campus would be as full as they appear. Hearing that the park is closed in the winter seems to be the answer - but are the trees in San Antonio leafed out in winter, as the trees in this picture are?
I’ve been there eight years ago while studying in the US as an exchange student for a year in FHS. But I still can remember every ride and every corner in Six Flags Fiesta Texas. It was fun. It is fun.
Anybody noticed the reflections of the clouds in the pool?
I don’t think that is a reflection. I think Texas gets deeper the farther “north” you go in the pool.
To answer your question Peter, yes. Alot of trees in the south do not loose their leaves. Or to correct myself, do loose them, but stay green the entire winter.
Here in San Antonio it stays fairly warm most of the year, a typical year has only about 10-15 days below freezing. So quite a few of the trees stay green year round, while others drop their leaves at the first sign of a cool breeze. And yes, the texas pool gets deeper the further “north” you go.
If you’re curious, that campus across the freeway (loop 1604) is UTSA (University of Texas, San Antonio) and if you follow Loop 1604 west, you should eventually be able to see Sea World also (depending on how far out you’re zoomed)
It’s not labeled on the map, but I take it that Placemark: this / Google Earth is Sea World?
Yep. You found it. Sea World San Antonio.
What’s odd is, when you look at in in GoogleEarth or GoogleLocal, you can only tell where the Scream (tallest ride in the park- one of those drop ones) is based on it’s massive shadow trails. Kind of neat, actually.
