Carowinds-only running 1 train on nighthawk every time I go making the line a hour + wait and not letting you pick what seat to ride.

THe first time I rode it I was in the 5th seat, the second time I was in the 2nd seat and it was a lil better but not much still bumpy as hell.

Well I finally made it to Six Flags Great Adventure! Our flight flew into Philly at about 8:15am, got my rental car and was on the way. They were calling for 70% chance of rain but didnt start raining until 2pm or so. Arrived at the park at about 10:45am, and darted straight for the flash pass booth, got me the flash pass gold and was ready to start my day. By the way everyone at the park was very nice and pleasant. I was very impressed with the ride ops and employees, they made my trip that much better. All the rides were running at a good cpacity too. El toro had 2 trains, superman 2 trains, KK 4 trains, Medusa 2or 3 not sure, Nitro 3, batman not sure at least 2. Let me tell ya tho it was pretty crowded, if you can afford the flash pass, get it, it is so worth the money, the longest wait I had was 14 mins for dark knight, and I ate lunch while waiting for that lol. So awesome. Now onto the rides, here are my ratings. 10 being AWESOME Superman-9/10- Alot of people think this is boring, but I absolutly LOVED it. It was actually one of my favorites. I definatly like this better than the vekoma version so much more comfortable and smoother. Scream machine-7/10 Ive heard this was really rough, but I dissagree, it did have a couple of rough spots but nothing unbearable,great first drop and great inversions. Kingda CRAP I mean KA 3/10 This thing is unenjoyable!!! I was SO looking forward to this ride and I was VERY dissapointed. First off the launch was nothing, I guess cause Im used to HYpersonic-much more intense launch. Going up the hill on KK was rough and coming down was insanely rough totally unenjoyable. Rolling thunder- 6/10 Typical racer but it wasnt racing. Pretty fun and pretty smooth. El toro 10/10 HEHEHE best damn ride in the park- no doubt. This thing has such ejector airtime its not even funny. I rode in the back too. So freaking smooth too. Im telling you there is not 1 bad thing I can say about this ride. Medusa- 7/10 Pretty fun floorless, but found that my ears were getting whacked thru some of the inversions. Batman the ride-8/10 This thing packs a good little punch but still say Alpengeist blows this one away. Nitro 9/10 Wow awesome airtime. great hills and twists. If I had to choose between this and Apollos, I think I would have to give the edge to Apollos. Dark kinight 7/10 Pretty good, typical mouse ride and good little pops of airtime that I wasnt expecting. Good theming. Skull mountain 7/10 This was pretty neat to me, it was really dark in there, I couldnt see a thing. Thats I loved this and definatly will be going back!!!

Anyone know how strict six flags ison their rain policy?

I was wondering, I see there is a chance of rain Sunday so the flash pass may nit be worth buying. Does anyone know, is there more than 1 booth to buy the flash pass or the flash pass gold? Or is there just the 1 close to the entrance?

I agree Nighthawk needs a paint job, I also think Carolina Cyclone needs a paint job. Hurler is not all that ruogh. Its alot smoother than the KD version. I happen to like Carowinds, yeah their rides are only mediocre but its a fun place and very enjoyable.

I have to say Drop zone at KD, I have rode it over 50 times and it still puts my stomach in my throat EVERY time. http://www.coasterimage.com/pictures/kingsdominion/dropzone02.htm

Anaconda - Kings Dominion http://www.rcdb.com/ig92.htm?picture=4

Home park - Kings Dominion Favorite ride as of right now - Volcano but that will change once Dominator opens.

Wow awesome pics. Way to break in that new camera. Great TR. I am going this Friday April 25th, and this excites me even more.

Does anybody know how the gold pass works? I can only find info on how thr reg flash pass works.

Whats the difference between Flash pass and Gold flash pass and how do they work?

thanks for the tip lol, but thats the least of my worries. Also I am about 200lbs and 5 foot 5inches Will I have any problems riding KK?

I am flying at philadelphia, PA-its about an hour from the days inn hotel I'll be staying at.

Hey guys, I was thinking about heading to SFGradv sometime this summer. I will proabably be taking the southwest flight. I wanted to fly in on a Sunday and spend a Monday and Tuesday in the park. When is the best time to go? What month? Which rides should I hit first? Will the flash pass be worth getting since I'm going on a Monday and Tuesday? What are the "not to miss rides" ? Does the park run the coasters at a good capacity? Do they have any kind of 2day pass? I know I'm asking alot but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
