Mission Breakout switches to "After Dark" at 5pm. This is also the time they start distributing fastpasses/maxpasses for the "After Dark" version. And I concur, the "After Dark" version is a wild good time!!! Especially with the more intense theme music. It really fits the ride atmosphere well.

I was there today as well. I didn't get to ride, but I did get to snap a pic of the line outside during the employee/media preview. Some of my cousin's friends who work at SFMM give the ride two thumbs up! Most of the dirt and scaffolding are gone. This area is going to look great when it's finished! (Hopefully)

From my understanding, the only way to get the (yellow-colored) unlimited all-season drink bottles is to buy the Two-Park Premium Dining pass. At least for now. The (red-colored) all-season drink bottles are the only ones available as of now. Still, it's a good deal if you visit the park more than once.

I didn't take any photos yesterday but the park was not too busy. I think it's partly due to the fact that Memorial Day is next weekend. So if you want to see the park before it gets crowded for the summer season, this week is the best time to go! The longest wait times were for Roaring Rapids and TNR. X2, Batman, and Full Throttle were all walk-ons. For a Saturday, I call that a success! Apocalypse was running fantastic. It didn't throw me into the side of the car like it usually does, thanks to the refurbished track. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but it looks like Swashbuckler's tower got an LED upgrade. I passed by it on my way out of the park, and the tower was glowing blue. Twisted Colossus broke down twice. Once in the morning when a train was stuck on the lift, and once in the afternoon when trains kept getting stuck on the "launch" right out of the station before the pre-ride drops. But the staff did well explaining to guests that it was just a delay. It took about 25 minutes to get the ride up and going again, but it was WELL worth the wait imo. As for food, I bought a Chicken Strip Basket from Totally Kickin' Chicken Boneless Wings near Apocalypse which was NOT worth the $13.04 I spent for it. The chicken strips were average, but the fries tasted saltless and were straight from the microwave. The only thing that was worth the money was the drink bottle. Plus, it eliminated the need for me to buy any sugary snacks because I could just sip on some cold Coke all day for free, which was greatly appreciated on a hot, 93 degree day. Some merchandise is being discounted. I saw shirts marked down from $17.99 to $10 flat. I ended up buying a red tank because it was cheap. Overall, the crowds were light (even with 15-20 busses of school groups) and the staff was efficient. It was a pretty good day. Ride Count: Gold Rusher- 1 Batman- 1 Twisted Colossus- 1 Scream- 1 Canyon Blaster- 1 Full Throttle- 1 X2- 1 Tatsu- 1 Jet Stream- 1 Apocalypse- 1 Lex Luthor (Yes it was open)- 1 Superman- 2

A new Disney park in a country with more than a billion people in its population... if it lives up to its hype this park will be ALL KINDS OF CROWDED.

Ok I know this is a dead forum but i would like to point out that Tokyo Disney Sea's Tower of Terror has a seasonal "more intense" drop sequence titled Level 13 that run between November and February (don't quote me on the exact timeframe). They recently changed the drop sequence in 2015 and now it is a mix between DCA's regular drop sequence and DHS Tower1's drop sequence. TDS' Tower is so well themed and presented that even though it's not up to par with DHS' and DCA's drop sequences (8 months out of the year at least) it still get my nod as the best Tower of Terror.

I see "Monster's Inc. Roller Coaster" written all over this.

What if they kept one side wood and just put topper track on and redo the other side with steel? Then it could be like a battle between steel and wood coasters.

Pleasant Suprises: Big Thunder Mountain CA: I had my first ride on this infamous Disney coaster last year. I wasn't really expecting much but it was a very suprising ride. I found a lot of airtime on this ride. Especially on the drop righty before the third lift hill. That drop caught me by suprise. California Screamin': When i was 8 I thought i was gonna die on this ride. I was crying in the line because i was really scared since this was my first looper. But i really enjoyed it. The entire ride had nice moments of air but not as intense for all the young ones. Tower of Terror: My first drop tower ride. I was 8 as well so this ride scared the S H I T out of me. But it was way more fun than i thought it was gonna be. Steel Lasso in Frontier City: Since this was a Suspended Vekoma I thought this was going to hurt. But the new restraint system and the redesigned track mad this ride smooth and enjoyable. WildCat in Frontier City: This ride hasn't gotten any attention so I had no idea what to expect while i was on it. It was a fun little woodie that had some moments of airtime. And it wasn't very rough at all. Transformers the Ride: I was expecting to be underwhelmed by the ride since it was a 3d kind of ride. But the 3d worked for the ride very well. Probably the best simulator ride i've ever been on. And that moment when the missile is going straight at you and there is a heater right above your head to make you feel like there is an actual missile being shot at you. Best part. Supreme Scream: I forced my self on this ride just to see if i would ever go on a drop tower again. This ride made me love drop towers. You get a rush of airtime as you are launched down from 255 feet (I think) and a good amount of positive G's at the bottom. Fun ride. Rock N' Roller Coaster in Disney's Hollywood Studios: One of the (If not the) best Vekoma rides ever made. Suprisingly smooth and forceful launch. Plus the Aerosmith soundtracks make this ride awesome. Unpleasant rides: Ghostrider: This ride was rough as hell. I got jostled around the entire ride and it left me with a headache for the rest of the day. There wasn't even any airtime besides the first drop. This ride needs Timberliners badly. Revenge of the Mummy CA: I really enjoy this ride and it even had good moments of airtime. But the little amount of space and lack of good theming and fire made this ride kind of underwhelming. The treasure room is so small and looks really plastic. The wallpaper on the walls looks ridiculously cheap. The grand gallery right before the launch seems pointless. Like seriously. That room makes me so angry. That room should depict a grand gallery that is supposed to be collapsing and falling apart. This room should be redesigned to have fire at the roof, some of the pillars breaking, and have stone doors closing behind the car and infront of the car. And the roller coaster part could have somemore theming as well. Maybe have some screens along the side of the car that show mummy warriors chasing after the car. Also, they should have the scarab scene like they have in Singapore. This ride really needs an update. Diamond Back in Frontier City: Even though this ride has a crapload of airtime, its really uncomfortable and bashes you head against the headrest and restraint. Boomerang at Knott's: Curse the person who decided to put that ride there. One of the WORST RIDES EVER. Psyclone at Six Flags Magic Mountain: I don't need to explain why. Scandia Screamer: Rough ride. And the 2 last turns throw you around so much you nearly get whiplash. Feels like the ride is going to collapse.

They should've gone with a slightly taller version of a family boomerang from Vekoma or Gerstlauer. That would've boosted up capacity a little bit and brought something somewhat interesting to SoCal.

Revenge of the Mummy in Hollywood. (Only coaster this month. Ugh.)

Hi there! My name is Andrei and I fell in love with roller coasters when I rode on a Dragon Wagon by myself for the first time when I was 4. I became so obsessed with roller coasters and theme parks I began to search up websites that had information on the biggest and fastest thrill machines out the when I had just turned 7. And that's when I found this website. Because of you guys, I have a hobby and a purpose in life. THANK YOU!!!!! I hope to meet others who are a part of TPR and maybe even Robb ( I am not worthy), Elissa ( Miss "I love Intamin and hate spinning coasters), and cute little Kristen (A.K.A Kidtums). Thanks again! P.S: Piers, how can I forget Piers?
