Glad you had a good time! -
El Diablo deconstruction has begun. It has apparently been sold to another park outside the chain. Also, the preferred parking lot to the right is closed until further notice. The entire area is about to be turned into a massive construction zone, Credit photos to Brandon Skilling and Texas Thrillseekers. Deconstruction underway Off to another park

Oof despite my watching like a hawk did miss Coastermania. Seems they have put Sirens Curse on there if it is open but they dont seem to guarantee it. "Siren’s Curse is scheduled to open in early summer. While an official opening date has not yet been set, it’s included in the Coastermania lineup in the event it has opened." Ah well. If its not yet open I wont be too bummed, still kinda sad I missed it. Unsure if I'll go this year, but solid chance I will not having done TTD2 or ofc Sirens Curse -

Oh! Was part of a very busy trip so never did follow up. Everything was 45 mins (maybe 50 but eh) or under. Exception was Tennessee Tornado Hour 25 but they were running 1 train ops!? Mustve been an issue, cant imagine why they would on spring break and when nothing else was. Given it was spring break not bad actually! I'll gladly take 45 mins and some were only 20-30. So all in all not bad! New cred for Big Bear Mountain, perhaps the gift of low expectations but was solid and surprisingly fun! LRod, got 6 rides. Once or twice did feel a little weird at first but I became a normal human and got over the chain lift. Rest is great and far as I can tell unchanged from before. Especially when it warmed up...early morning was great but late afternoon/early evening it was hauling and kicking ass. In the back a helluva ride. Oh also I got 6 rides. It opened with the park and ran all day. So that alone is ya know, pretty big. This park may have one of the best lineups. There's no bad coaster. Even calibrating for the fact "this is a family ride" Firechaser and Dragonflier are fun little rides. I know Mystery Mine is divisive but I still quite enjoy it and though not worth that long, I forgot how much ass TT kicks, Thunderhead ran great, Wild Eagle remains a low key good wing coaster. Another good visit to this park, it probably is cemented in my top 5 by this point. - Yesterday

have you been to the park and ridden it? I'm asking because i could *swear* I was told that was Kilg%re who has taken over the ride, when riding (he argues with Cyborg who tells the riders to calm down and he'll save them via ride audio) a query on Google got me this response: The phrase "Kilg%re" appears to be a reference to a specific theming element within the Cyborg (Nebulaz) ride area, which is part of the DC Universe section of the park I'll listen again next time I'm in the park. . but just wondering if you went and rode it and heard it differently?

So apparently, there's not really hangtime on Harley Quinn Spinsanity, but you do get pushed against your restraint like on a holding break on a dive coaster. And I've been on Valravn and Griffon (the latter even in the front!) And it's not that high. I think I might do it. I'm also scared to go on Scream, even though I did the Hershey's Tower at Hersheypark. And Scream is 16 feet taller than Hershey's Tower. I'd do the Combo Tower so that way I get launched up, then drop (like the Hershey's Tower), but TBH 200+ foot drop towers scare me, even though I've been on Superman: The Ride and Steel Force (the latter of which is the same height as Scream) and I305. It's different on coasters because I sit a few rows away from the front so I won't see how high I am.

Correction, it is Grid who takes control of the quantum mechanism. I panicked when I saw this at first, because Grid is criminally underused and Kilg%re instead of him would've been a snub. But they have the same audio from Cyborg Hyper Drive at SFNE, except YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR IT NOW. HALLEFUCKINGLUJAH.

I'm taking the wait times from these preview days with a grain of salt knowing that capacity is still probably fairly limited. Will be interesting to see what these wait look like in June or July after the park is fully open and there are resort guests with express passes and all that there. With that said Stardust being a super high capacity coaster that by all accounts is very very good is pretty exciting.

Tomahawk is gone?? Add another defunct flat to my list. I did that in its final year of operation twice. GOD NOW I HAVE TO GO ON HARLEY QUINN WHEN I GO THIS SATURDAY... I heard you get hangtime on Zamperla Discoverys?? Like, is it flying coaster hangtime or Kraang Prime hangtime?? Because I can handle flying coaster hangtime. Still would be scary tho.

The lift is drive tires. The ride cannot operate in rain. The roof will keep it dry. -

Does anyone know how enclosing the lift on ZZ is supposed to "enhance operational efficiency"? -
Looks like it would take about 3 hours round trip to get to and from the Park. So That is gonna take a chunk of your day. I mean im sure its possible but seems like a lot of planning and hoping all goes well. I mean i was thinking about doing something like this for Great America. Fly in from Ohio rent a car drive then fly back home at the end of the day.

Dropped by the park to try out the new roller-coaster. Ride was up and down all day. People in station got fast passes but if you were anywhere in the queue and got kicked out, you were out of luck even with a 60-minute wait so we saw a lot of frustrated people. Legoland Factory and Ninjago were also up and down throughout the day. Dragon was running one train, factory was sending one car empty (maybe one car is marked for fast-pass riders?), and Royal Joust only had one side so a capacity of four people (I wish this ride was also children only) so it was a low capacity day. Another TPR member mentioned there has been a very negative reaction to fast-passes in Korea, especially with Legoland and we did see some guests confronting employees at rides which is a little sad when it's something beyond their control or pay grade. I think it's because most Korean parks offer only single-use, very limited and very expensive passes, so you almost never see them pass you in line whereas Legoland offers reserve and ride style so when we lined up for Dragon, the line crawled because you had one train and needing to accomodate the fast-pass people. Something I'm used to from other parks but it seems the Korean population not so much. Everyone seemed to head to the new ride at opening, we hadn't even cleared security, the line was already at one hour, and most people were still only just getting into the park. Later in the day the line had dropped to 40... But it closed just as we arrived. We opted to go eat since it usually takes an hour to get food, by the time we were done eatind it had reopened and after another attempt to wait in line we did get a ride. A little frustrating, there was a lot of queue jumping, and even though there was free lockers at the end to store belongings, a lot of people seems to take loose belongings to the platform. Later in the day, we almost made it to the station before we were kicked out of the line. We came out and they were evaccing people off the brake run in harnesses, and with only an hour left before closing, I didn't see them reopening. Son was frustrated he'd almost made it and lost time, but he was ok, we have annual passes and can come back, but saw some others carried out in tears, which is a shame for them to end their day. Instead, we headed over to the dragon since it'd dropped to a 20-minute line, but with one train waited 35. They did let him jump back in line 3 minutes before closing and rode the last train of the day, so at least he got some credits for the day. May 3rd-6th will be a four-day weekend and the busiest time of the whole year for theme parks, so hopefully Legoland will have the issues fixed before then.

Yeah, I'm a 22 year old who talks to theme park characters, but I don't complain when Six Flags Great America doesn't get a new coaster for the 2026 season. Best not to throw stones in a glass house.

I've been kind of keeping an eye on the reported queue times on the Universal app since they started doing passholder previews on Friday. The biggest surprise to me is Stardust Racers never seems to get a long line. Must be a people eater and very reliable already. Usually in the 20-30 minute range. Also trying to figure out how the Potter virtual queue works but hopefully I will be able to get on when I'm there next week. Monsters and Hiccups seem to be down a lot. Not very unlike Forbidden Journey and Hagrid lol. Longest lines by far have been the Nintendo attractions. Mine Cart Madness and Mario Kart often around a 2 hour wait. But other than those things have been less busy than I expected so hopefully that means that they're really limiting the amount of people in there. Cautiously optimistic about my day there next week. As long as there's no significant breakdowns I think I can get through the things I want to in one day.
