Unionized labor! Its not the workers fault six flags is the general contractor and creates the work schedule so union or not it dose not matter. I would also much rather go on a new ride knowing that the people who built it got paid good with benefits And all had the same training. In the end this means happy workers who wont half ass the job.

Towards the end of the day it got painful but not like omg i am in pain just got a bit tight plus the air time so really just the normal Intamin staple. -

Skyrush opened today around 1:00 the lift still was slowed down on the crown. I cannot compare to last year because i never made it out to the park but it was a crazy ride with a lot of ejector air time. -
The red line is the zipline. There will be no bridge over the road however the road will go though the lion area by going over a bridge. I do not expect a lot from this area as far as themeing especially after seeing that the whole area is going to be fine crushed stone instead of concrete or asphalt, but only time will tell for what it is i think it will look good i just hope they do a lot of work around the safari its had been looking really poor for a while now.

When I worked at GADV the state made the park close off all of the Q and make it a danger zone after the ride closed for a few months opening year. So there is no way to get back there and it is really far from any midway. Also Kingda Ka is fixed and should be open on opening day. It was testing after the park closed for the season in early November.

The hart-line rolls were removed do to fatigue cracking in the trains bogies. The cracking did result in an incident in 2006 that put the robin train out of operation. The batman train was then painted red and used on the robin side with the modified track but the cracking still occurred, and with the high cost of maintance the ride already has due to the lims it was removed. they did get a new train for batman side in 2007 but never bothered putting it on the track because to many lims had to be repaired. It getting stuck upside down was never an issue there was always a man lift under the ride to push the train if it happen. most of the time the train would stop down by water effects station. There was a platform to remove guest there as well as a spot in the track where the rails would come off to take the train apart. The company that removed the ride is who bought it they have been trying to sell it ever since they removed it.
