I just ride Justice League twice and had problems in multiple rooms. In the first screen where you encounter Lex, it is blurry and you can see the henchmen. At the screen where street you cover for Cyborg when Lex appears and uses his plasma blaster, there are no lex bots to shoot. The next screen was also bold blank. Finally the last screen was again blurry and it was difficult to spot henchmen. Yet somehow died 203,000 on my first gsme and then my highest ever set 278,600. Very odd. Operations at JBs Smoke House are a hot mess.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

No, they are dumb. They can obviously see bright new steel track on what was a wood coaster. What thinking person would think new track means it's being torn down? There is also the fact that you don't need to be precise and exacting if it's being completely torn down. They can tear down a wood coaster really quick if you have no need to save parts or relocate it. They could just wrecking ball it over the off season. So can you casually walk past a auto body shop and know if new parts, after market parts or second hand parts are being installed. If not car enthusiasts think you are dumb. -

The food court serves great breakfast items. If you have two adults, arrive an hour before the tickets open and eat a leisurely breakfast, well except for the one adult that should get to the ticket booth right after eating. Then the rest of the clan can join him as the booths open. The whole party needs to be at the window to apply wristbands. -

Dollywood Discussion Thread

I live in the south and I don't drink sweet tea, but I know a lot of people who do. I wonder why they decided to take it out. I saw the Gazillion Bubble Show for the first time a few weeks ago and I thought the same thing. This is definitely one of the best shows that has ever been at Dollywood. I drink sweet tea like others drink coffee. Only certain places had it before. To me it's understandable if only one quick serve place in a area of the park has it, for instance only 1 kiosk in Market Square used to have it. I guess the rationale was even if it was selling, it probably took more space and time to make and clean compared to a Coke fountain machine. They should still have a handful of quick serves that have it, I like certain foods with tea and certain foods with coke. I don't mind buying food and drink from different vendors if I can get my sweet tea if I want it lol I did not realize this change was made when I visited in April. I thought found sweet tea very easily on all my previous visits, but in April I checked every quick serve stand and could not find it. At least now I know for my return next week that I need to have a sit down meal. for the sweet tea and the air conditioning. -

Not a bad idea -
I did not realize they were adding Super Flip and the ARM Tower this year. The other flat you posted Airborne Shot) was only about 3 years ago. The haunted house was quite the pleasant surprise when Gillian's decided to build it about 5 years ago. I might have to put a few more quarters in the meter and stop at Gillian's after going to Playland's Castaway Cove.

I still don't understand why that path is not opened up! Its simple really. There is nothing for you to buy along that path. Sure, they could add a few booths/kiosks but why bother when they can make you walk through the boardwalk with its endless plethora of mediocre food and crappy games? This is likely the same reason they aren't opening the Old Country path when JLBFM opens - they'll send us around through Movietown since there is stuff to buy there. Six Flags decided to not maximize profits today and the path was open through the "old" Old Country when I was leaving Justice League around 12:30PM. The path was not open when I arrived at the park at 11:30. All I did at the park today was ride Battle for Metropolis 4 times and grab a buffalo chicken cheesesteak. I was a relaxing 75 minutes in the park.

So you are asking for the answer to a question that no one can answer with certainly except for someone who would get fired for answering. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once, I would expect a 10% drop in expected attendance to trigger a red flag. -

Maybe, I missed the announcement. Why did you read that Skyline sold 5? They sold one at this time. -

Lake Compounce Discussion Thread
larrygator replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm upset to see it closed since so many people loved it, but personally it never did that much for me. It's just a a sky lift. Although no one died at Great Escape, the "what if" factor had to always be back of mind for those in management at Lake Compounce. The fall of an idiot at Lake Compounce would certainly have a more severe ending then the fall the Great Escape. Insurance premiums are sure to go up after this incident and Lark Compounce/Parque Reunidos needs to be ahead of that curve and protect both the park and all their parks for the future.
