The only lights on the ride at night is a light on the mid course break run. Other than that...its all natural (Dark as hell at night).

Hey....about these spambots.... If you set up registration so you have to activate with a link sent to the user's email account, it will most likely prevent these bots from registering. New Element had a problem with them too, enabling the email activation made them go away.

Screamin' Eagle at SFSTL used to have a prettly abrupt stop, but thats changed since they got that new control system.

Yeah its one of the few rides that at the break run, you're exausted. Like I said earlier its an awesome ride, but just like any wooden roller coaster, you have to 'ride it.'

Yeah the Boss is one of the few rides i've ever had to check my pockets at the mid course brake run.

When was the last time you rode it?

I personally enjoy The Boss a lot. It's had work done to it over the past couple seasons to really improve the ride experience, and for this season I noticed that there was some retracking done after the double-down first drop (which can get intense sometimes). It isn't a ride you can just sit there and enjoy, you sort of have to 'ride' it. If you want the smoothest possible ride, sit towards the front. The back is a little more rough, but it provides some insane ejector air off the first drop and the huge drop off the mid course brake run. The double down drop was an ingenious idea. That whole first stretch - drop, straight section, another drop (with no incline before it - just another drop), and then the small ejector airtime hill before you head up into the first turn around is just all sorts of awesome. The ending helix is a force to be reckoned with, and in my opinion is the best ending this ride could ever want to have - combine that helix with the pop of air immediately exiting it - awesome. Overall, if you're expecting a silky smooth wooden rollercoaster, you'll be disappointed (go ride Screaming Eagle). It is rough for some people, but not everybody has the same definition of 'rough.'

I might be interested....I have a season pass, but only a couple of my friends do.
