So instead of spending X amount of time standing in line with your friends, you're going to spend X amount of time standing at the exit by yourself waiting for them. Still doesn't sound like a very good friend to me. ::shrug:: If you wanted to be a good friend, you'd buy the FL pass for those who couldn't afford it. Just sayin'.

Last year, I didn't have any trouble with groupers in the standyby lines for any ride. I can't imagine you would coming through the FL Line. For Beast, with a 10PM close, you'll likely only get one true night ride (pure darkness), and that's if you get in line at like 9:45 or later. Note that they stop operations of the ride for the fireworks show, then resume after that.

So, sandals then? Got it. God I hate this generation.

And what are "slides"?

You haven't been to a lot of parks (read: anywhere other than SFA) have you?

Dorney's dry park will not be busy. You could likely hit all of the coasters and adult flats in 4 hours. The water park, on the other hand, will have sizeable crowds if its a decent weather day.

There will be crowds during the Haunt on Saturdays. Major coasters will be about 30 minutes, mazes over an hour.

How long has it been since any year hasn't been "disappointing" for the dry side? 2008 with Possessed? Dorney is what it is, and I enjoy it for that, but expecting large-scale investment in this park is a pipe dream.

Yep, no one cares. It's just a rebranding of their existing shooting darkride, which was horribly dated anyway. I mean, seriously, "Xtreme"? They needed to bring it up to 2018 standards by including a non-word in the title.

Nice report. Just a friendly tip: tilting pictures does not make them better 99% of the time.

Take that blasphemy elsewhere. Beast is perfect as it is.

Will it go ludicrous speed?

Imagine if it's SOB being rebuilt with the exact same layout but using RMC's topper track.

Was at Kings Dominion yesterday for the better part of the day with a buddy. Some notes: -Platinum Pass got us in the park early. Notably only I had a pass but they let me and my friend through. Now that Early entry is Avalanche/I305, the entry point is between Dominator and Camp Snoopy. -Early entry got us us two rides on Avalanche with no waiting. Second ride was a reride where we just switched spots without having to walk around. Great ride that I hope they never remove. -Didn't see any holes in Volcano's mountain; they may have been there but I couldn't see them from the ground or Avalanche's lift. -Early entry also got us two rides on I305, but we had to walk around. Literally passed out on the second run (back row); came to on the brake run. Probably due to alcohol intake. -One ride on Flight of Fear. Very back row was roped off, so we were in the front row of the last car. -Two rides on Twisted Timbers (front and back). Holy amazeballs what an awesome ride. New #1 RMC, and very, very close #2 at this park. -Got to meet Robb Alvey briefly. Cool guy. -Went to the waterpark for the next 4 hours. Tornado is long gone with a fence up around its site. -Got a ride on right side of Rebel Yell, 2nd row. Seems like more of the ride has been retracked since the last time I was here in March, and aside from some jostling leading up to the turnaround, very smooth for an old woodie. After that we were both feeling pretty tired so headed out.

When are the 9 days when the lights are off? Unless you mean 365/24/7. Good catch LOL

As far as I'm aware it's lit up 365/24/7.

Screamscape is saying they're replacing some track and it won't be open until next year. Take it for what its worth.

When did they change Mine Trains restraints from the "same position on every row of a car" type?

They did back in 2008.

I think everyone is also forgetting the bigger picture: Six Flags did not buy Darien Lake. They bought the rights to operate it. That alone likely severely limits the amount of capital expenditure that is possible, let alone probable.

A quick trip to their website indicates that it's still closed.

Easiest would be Uber. Maybe not the cheapest, though...

Latest reports are that all three trains are cycling through, but only two at a time. No one can predict the future. I can guarantee you that this thread will jump 10 pages whenever/ifever it does start running 3 trains simultaneously.

Wild Whizzer at night.

Wasn't Thunderation the last mine train in 1993? I can't think of a newer one than that. And yes, I know about Seven Dwarves, it's not the same thing. Pretty sure the mine train died with Arrow. Vekoma still makes Mine Trains, or did as recently as 2016. https://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&ml=8129
