Bolliger&Mabillard

Looks great. B&M and Busch exceeded my expectations with this project. Then again I never really was on the skeptical side with this. Now all that's left is to find out how she rides.

^The talent of literacy is not one many pursue nowadays.

^But it sure would have looked cool to try.

^Most coupon promotions are good for the duration of the season, and in SFMM's case, that's December 31st. Half off the ticket is usually all you're going to get off, the only way you're going to get in cheaper than that is by working there.

^Shockwae was part of the ride trade program so that doesn't really count as defunting the ride, and Psyclone, well I know you're only 12, but apparently you haven't been on my Dinn woodies. None of them are worth keeping after opening year.

^Nothing we can do? Sure there is! We can start an online community and dump all those useless opinions into cyberspace.

^To be fair, the park hasn't seen the attendance like when I worked there in 2006. by this time in 2006, We consistantly had an hour wait for Xcelerator (Well, when it was running )

I don't get why people hate Pony Express so much. I mean, personally I think it stinks, but the targeted audience for the ride loves it. I also think it fits the park its in very well.

I will admit that the pretzel is awesome, most most of the elements aren't all that different from an invert.

^What's wrong with riding a pink coaster? Real men ride pinkies.

^^Even the WIND hated it.

^You can't really judge people on their preference. Some people like the head bashing that only Vekoma can provide. If that's their thinkg you can't really knock them for it.

I would have to say that Loony Tunes, and pretty much all of Warner's cartoons cater to an older demographic, so I can see why there really isn't a strong pressence in the parks. I mean, cartoon violence was their claim to fame, and despite the fact that seeing Bugs slamming Daffy over the head with fake anvils at the park would be awesome, family oriented crowds wouldn't like that too much. I think most parks should go park to playing Loony Tunes clips in lines and throughout the park verses the "Six Flags TV". I mean, banners and in-park billboards would be just as effective.

^It just decided to slither away.

^You gotta crawl before you walk... They're gettin' there...

^The rides designated for Flashpass can vary from day-to-day, but for the most part they are pretty cosistant. The only ride that MIGHT not be available for Flashpass on busier days that I can think of is MAYBE Deja Vu. And still it's a MAYBE This is the park's first peak season with the new Flasspass system, so no one really knows for sure how the popularity for it will fair. I still suggest getteig there for opening. That way you be one of the first to get your pass, and maybe even sneak a ride on X if you're lucky. I'm not sure if you can buy the new system at the ticket booths,as there is an instructional video you must watch in order to familiarize yourself with the system. Even if you COULD buy the system at the ticket booths, you'd still have to watch the video and pick up the hardware, so it's best to just head to the sales center inside the park. It's real easy to find even for first time visitors

Is Knott's really thinking about Haunt in the beginning of April? Wow. During Haunt Orientation last year someone made a joke how it starts earlier every year and that next year (2009) it would start in July. He wasn't far off...

Regular-Virtual wait. Entitles you to wait the actual time of the attraction, but not in line. (I.E. two hour wait for Tatsu, you are given a return time. You can spend that two hours doing something else) Gold-Reduced wait Entitles you to a reduced wait up to 75% of stand by line (I.E. two hour wait for Tatsu for you would be 30 minutes)

Let's rearrange something here... Let's try this now... I just think that all the critizism SFA gets, other parks have identical or similar problems, yet get praise. I don't find it fair to a park like SFA that mostly ALL of Six Flags' parks suffer the same problems, the ones with tons of coasters however, get a better reputation. I'm not saying the park can't use improvements or that it's not at the bottom of the totum pole, but it's not like it's a horrible park that the chain forgot about. It has more similarities to it's bigger cousins than differences

^^I'd say that's what makes the Simpsons ride's wait so barable

I've also heard rumors that this is Tidal Waves final year...I wouldn't doubt it one bit.

Yea...I'm getting more excited about this. I mean, it's pretty much a rule of thumb for a park to have a wood coaster, and Colossus just isn't that great of a ride to be the park's only woodie. Can't wait til this thing opens...whenever it does.

Cedar Fair and grass in the same sentence? Was that a typo?

^But the 1-up CF has on that campaign than SF does is at lest Knott's filmed it's commercial with exclusive rides for that park, whereas SF throws stock footage from all their parks rides and flash tem quickly so you can't pick out the details.

^I like how our Batman looks as well. The grayish-steel fits the ideal of Batman better than yellow. The rails could be painted yellow and I think that would make it look cool, but the gray works so well for it.
