Acrophobia is getting the VR! YES! Not a coaster, But, unfortunately that means one of the best drop rides in the U.S. is basically gone because of all the long lines. But it says Upcharge which should decrease the lines a little. Maybe I misread but I think the upcharge is in reference to the flashpass.

See, so for this season to add to the awesomeness from last year, they're adding Joker, Harley Quinn, Skyway and a celebrity appearance from Millennium Force's #1 ride op. How could you miss out on an event like that? Where's your holiday spirit? You can ride a god damn 80 MPH hypercoaster when it's below freezing in New Jersey in January along with a killer invert, a fun flyer, an awesome 4D coaster and if you hate yourself... a sh*tty standup. What more could you possibly ask for? Plus those waffles and . I live in Atlanta, so could go to Holiday in the Park there if its similar. I'll be in DC, so it would still be an extra three hours from there to go to SFGAdv. I could do SFA but haven't heard many good things about it. I'm still up for it though. Just disappointed in missing the two best in the park.

Dollywood Discussion Thread

Trying figure out how a 5 story slide is the tallest. Fire Tower Falls is 70ft. Maybe it has to do with where it is in the park. Like if it's built on elevated land that would make it taller. -
I'm going to Disneyland and California Adventure this Friday for the first time and I'm super excited. Do ya'll have any suggestions on where to start and how to work around the park to see and do as much as possible in one day? I see California Adventure is open 9-9 and Disneyland is open 8-11. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Hello all! Long time user, very rare poster. A friend and I are going down to Florida for Okeechobee Music Festival in early March and are thinking of trying to hit up Universal. We are able to go because Okeechobee has a cool program where you can work for two days after the festival and pick up a free ticket. We were wondering if Universal has a program anywhere similar to this or if any of you wonderful people have any laborious task you don't want to bother yourself with that two strapping young men could do in exchange for free tickets to Universal for just one day. This is pretty much the only opportunity we would get to make it to the park and would love help from any of you. Thank you very much!

Worst Coaster Ever?
deaconnor replied to Mind Eraser's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Man Ninja at SFOG is sooooooo bad. I thought it would be fun but as soon as we dropped I couldn't wait for it to end. It was horrible. -
I'm gonna have to say Tweetsie Railroad in Blowing Rock, NC. This park doesn't have many rides but it has great theming and some great fair rides. It also has some great shows for the whole family. It's a really fun park and it's in the mountains so it has a cool chair lift.

Favorite Arrow Coaster
deaconnor replied to CdnbMatt's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
To me it's Tennessee Tornado. Front row ride is awesome. Great ride. It's one of the fastest too, at 70+mph. Not rough at all either.
