^I'm talking just big enought to fit the junk in your pockets, maybe even little pouches that would fit your cell, wallet, change, I lost a couple bucks in change at least.

One more thing they need for Green Lantern is cubbies for your stuff, I mean every few ride you would hear somebodys cell phone or change rain down on the roof of the station. They were letting you put your stuff on the side while you rode, but when it's your wallet and cell phone you have to leave, I would feel more secure if they was a cubby. It would kinda suck to have to buy a locker for tiny stuff that fits in your pocket. I actually saw two people in the same car lose their phones right as they pulled into the station, one kinda exploded and one fell and randomly turned itself on. So, pretty much I do not recommend riding with anything valuable in your pockets, this ride is extremely forceful and will shake the stuff outta your pockets like a cartoon bully.

The bottom line is that mos of the GP has never picked up a comic book and only knows these characters from tv and movies. The classic characters are what brings in the cash for DC, not the comic book nerd stuff. I have tons of Batman stuff, but have never purchases a Batman comic or cartoon. In any case, the DC Universe is both very detailed for comic book nerds, a lot of references and characters most won't catch and for the superhero fan there are all the classics that everybody recognizes. One comic book hero is kinda hard to see, but he's there.

I will say that my first ride had no flips, but my last ride of the night had three and a couple near flips. Which, we had the ride for 4 hours, so maybe it just needs to warm up.

Green Lantern: First Flight, SFMM.

The ride is awesome, the arm guards don't make a difference, really this is not a coaster that you are gonna wanna put your arms up on anyway. The rest of DC Universe is very well done, my daughter loves superheros and she's gonna love this, and she won't even be riding Green Lantern.

Awesome report, kinda gave me an idea of the layout of the park. Can't wait to hit Untamed.

I don't know if i heard it at WCB, or where, but they were supposed to fix whatever was wrong with it and have it running again. Of course, I don't think anythings been done to it yet, so who knows if that's still true.

Anyone else get the Six Flags lockers survey?

Did I mention I get to ride Green Lantern on the 30th? Don't worry, I'll break it in for you.

Totally agree, if parks could operate better, there would be less incentive to have to buy fast passes and the like. unfortunate Theme parks have lines, if you can't handle the wait and can't afford a flash pass, either go in the off season or find a new hobby. Seriously, even Disneyland with a free fastpass system and generally good operations still has lines, even lines for fastpass return when the park is busy. And keep in mind for the price of a day at Disney, you could probably afford SFMM with a Flash Pass.

Guess I'm headed back to Knott's tomorrow to see windseeker progress.

Thanks to Elissa and Robb for totally making up for the cancelled food truck event. Blacklight golf was awesome, I can't believe how much food we ate, Tylers one man show was great, I had no idea he was so talented. And, of course everybody was awesome as always.

Green Lantern, SFMM, I like these things.

I'd take raw dog a$$ over chick fil a, but since this has the potential to be epic, even without fire spitting midgets, I'm down for whatever. I vote activity + food.

Let's all go the the Beaumont Cherry Festival and watch the midget kiss tribute band!

Anyone know why Goliath keeps getting stuck on the lift? Forgive me if this has been adressed, but It got stuck yesterday again.

Viper at SFMM, was actually running pretty good.

Really, getting rid of the bread tour would just be closing the door to the public, I mean they actually make bread and stuff to sell there, it's a functional tour. I would guess that they make a good chunk of change selling those Mickey shaped loafs after people pass through there. I will miss the tortillas, but where I live there's fresh tortilla's being made right at the corner market. Still, I woulda took torts over chocolate, there enough sweets at Disney already.

I gotta remember to take my heartburn meds and a gas pill, maybe a couple fiber capsules, and wear some pants with and elastic waistband.

Being a parent who has taken his kids to SFMM for years, I really would like to see some family rides around the park. It's difficult to hit some of the bigger rides when there is nothing to entertain the kids except jet stream and the scrambler, which gives me the option of getting soaked or dizzy. There are a lot of flats that would fill the need of being family friendly and having a small footprint. On the subject of Metro, I'm glad that the trains found a home. That said, I'm also glad that SFMM finally decided to let it go, I mean I would have loved to see it run again, but it just was not cost effective and that money could probably be spent elsewhere in the park. I really can't see how it could be said that Hershey invested in anything, they spent $100,000, that's nothing, they didn't put in anything new, they just bought some surplus trains. In the end, they got more than their moneys worth and extended the life of their monorail.

It only destroys the weak brain cells, so pretty much it's making your brain more efficient. The more you ride the smarter your brains am.

I was there Friday, aww crap, I missed it by a day.

I had no idea that picture was taken, I was in the bathroom at the time.

^Knott's has had that cup for over a year. ^^Bert the Conquerer was an awesome guy, I will probably give the show a little more credit knowing what a hilarious guy Bert is. I also, gotta say that Tony Sarigusa was funny as hell, and huge. The shoot was an awesome time, got some rides in and a meal too.
