Metrolink is free on Monday, April 22nd for earth day. Does anyone know if local schools get this day off? I don't have any children to ask but don't want to visit the park on a school holiday. I have taken Metrolink twice to Knott's over the past two months and other than a slight delay, we arrived okay. Am I insane for wanting to try this next Monday? I will save maybe 1/2 ro 1 hour by driving but can't watch TV on my phone during that time, so I might as well take the train since it is free. I am worried about the 11 minute layover in LA on the way. It is fine if my Riverside to LA train is on time but if it is late, I am screwed and may not make the connection. versus driving each way -
There is a new(ish) casino called "Ocean" that took over a few years after Revel closed. The giant escalator and rooftop terrace are pretty cool but otherwise a pretty forgettable property IMO. And no there is no giant water park or ferries to Manhattan or whatever other pipe dreams they thought of 10 years ago. From a casino standpoint, other than Borgata, there's nothing really worth visiting in AC anyway. And if you're not a casino fan, just wave as you drive by on your way to Ocean City and Wildwood. -

there was a pretty-credible looking post on reddit late last summer from someone who claimed to know the issues and they essentially boiled down to issues with the structural supports/ excessive stress on certain segments of the ride. Essentially the ride was engineered very close to the margins for cost savings (not unsafe), but that resulted in tons of maintenance and ongoing structural strain, especially since it's possible the forces on the serpent roll (for example) were slightly higher than anticipated. Apparently one "temporary" fix was S&S recommending only one train operation. the current plan is to extensively replace and shore up certain supports of the ride. Looking at the structure and the $9M price tag for a coaster that size, it doesn't surprise me, if true. Sometimes, you do get what you pay for. -

We don't see a lot of non-launched, steel coasters have these sort of extended issues these days. It makes me wonder if it isn't somehow the foundation or the ground under footers not being strong enough. -

Maybe an RMC launched lift hill will fix the reliability issues. -

Pretty amazing how they only figured out it would be down for the whole year 3 days before opening, after plenty of people had paid for their season passes. Coincidences all around, I guess. -

I'd have thought you'd be all over the Ren Fest scene, Bert. This is something I'd have loved to have done. Easy enough to tack onto a Lagoon trip. Hopefully it can come back in some form. -
