I think that Darien Lake local don't have a lot to get excited about, so the bridge is the best they're going to get.

I'm more curious what "major additions" they've done in the past decade to earn @RCjunkie's support in the past.

Glad to see that changed; it wasn't the case last last fall when I bought my SF pass.

The only problem with that is that SF Passes have always needed to be "activated" at the park where it was purchased before it became valid elsewhere. Don't see many people traveling to La Ronde just for that.

So basically the same situation as ever year in the past, when you (presumably) did renew your pass?

Two posts above yours, "within the next few weeks."

Then I would get that. In a heartbeat. if KBF is anything like KI, KD, Dorney, or CP, the maze lines will quickly get to several hours long.

Two nights, at least one with Fright Lane (the skip-the-line for mazes). I always get it whenever I do CF Halloween events.

Can you show me on this doll where the bad man touched you? Jeez....Darien Lake sucks, always had sucked, and always will suck. Just because it's your home park, it doesn't change the facts.

Awesome. Yeah, I'm really hoping for Mindbender too.

Leap the Dips at Lakemont Park. #180!

Apologies if this has been asked recently, but is the Gotham City section of the park otherwise open, barring Mindbender of course? Thinking of planning a trip for Labor Day Weekend.

Well, I got ride(s) on Leap the Dips, finally! Stopped by Lakemont on my way home from Cedar Point, and it was running! And by running, I mean, ran for me...I didn't see anyone else trying to ride. The ride op even let me go around again, in the other row that I hadn't on the first lap, for no extra tickets. What did I think? Front Seat: Awesome! Incredibly smooth for its age/type, couple of nice pops of air where the front wheels came up off the track. It's just a FUN ride, not "thrilling," of course, but loads of fun. Its incredible to think than around a hundred years ago this was just about the pinnacle of excitement to be had. Back Seat: How insanely different switching rows on a one-train, two-row car can be. This is like a whole different ride, throwing you out of the seat and slamming you back down into it. The ride op said "the back is a whole lot rougher," and yeah some of those Dips certainly caused me to Leap, but honestly I've been on rougher wooden coasters (looking at you here, Roar at SFA, Wildcat at Hershey, and Mine Blower at Fun Spot Kissimmee). With that, it brings my count to a nice round 180.

I feel the same about IB, but I will likely go back for Triple Loop once operational. In fact, all of these are on my list of one-and-done parks, contingent on them not getting anything new that interests me: Six Flags America Adventure Park USA (MD) Rye Playland Quassy Fun Spot Kissimmee

Captain Marvel is also a DC character, he's just usually called Shazam.

Some of the current queue times from Cedar Point; glad I left like a half hour ago. The main parking lot was about 150 cars short of being full. FL+ or not, super-crowded parks are not my thing.

@coasterbillLOL. I was expecting you to mention Kings Dominion, at where basic Fast Lane only includes one of their adult roller coasters and FL+ only adds 3; they have 11.

I thoroughly expect the super-strict Japanese government authorities to kill this coaster, even if just as punishment for not reporting the injuries right away. Sad, I was looking forward to it if I ever got out to Japan.

LOL. Like $15 per person is going to break the bank at Disney? Had they simply raised the ticket price by $15 no one would have bat an eye. And, if you haven't been following the Cedar Point thread, Fast Lane Plus can now cost as much as $250, so...yeah. Things everywhere are getting more expensive. Blame rapidly rising wages.

I made that point and no one paid attention. May the odds forever be in your favor.

Which park's site did you do it through? I remember something about Canada's Wonderland pass holders getting an extra year, but that's not even that far. I'd print that out, put it in a safe, and run with it.

When parks initially started introducing them, and I wasn't making quite as much as I do now, I hated them. Now, that I'm pretty financial comfortable, I pretty much always get them regardless of the weather forecast or anticipated crowd level; at local parks that I have season passes to, I have the all-season Fast Lane/whatever option when its available. My time is much more valuable than money. My personal tolerance for waiting in lines is about 15-30 minutes. After that I start to get annoyed. Since I often go to parks alone, there isn't much worse than standing in an hour+ line without anyone to talk to to pass the time. Even when I am with friends, eventually we run out of things to talk about.

Sandy's barely goes over 47 MPH...far from the 120 of Dragster. Besides, even if LSMs could get the speed up high enough, the launch would be a lot less forceful. Personally I'd rather them tear it down than neuter it like that, and TTD is/was in my top 10 steel coasters. Also, the reports all indicated that something few off the train while it was on the return sides brakes, not the launch, so I'm not sure why anyone would be concerned with the launch.

I think you'll be pushing it. LAS is a huge airport, so depending on what terminal you're flying through it could be anywhere from 15-45 minutes to get outside. You're also vastly underestimating the time it'll take via Uber/Lyft (getting one shouldn't be a problem, but traffic will). Sorry, I think it's doable, but paying $40 for one hour of rides (MAYBE one hour) doesn't seem like a sensible plan to me. If your first flight is delayed even a little bit your plan goes to hell.

Yes, a whole lot faster. Whatever you did worked. Thanks.
