Well the rumored date was wrong as GASM is open and running today.

It wasn't a hoax? People just get really upset about it's removal so the park made a last minuted decision and took out Shockwave instead. And us much as I would like Shockwave back, the park made the right choice.

^ Get pics of the new ads.

Just found this on GAm's Facebook... I just hope Whizzer can make it to 50. Not ready to see that sign again

I like the balloon on the Phantoms Fling. Thats suck a common thing to have in line for a ride.

Is the coaster still there or was it just for the weekend?

Great pictures! I really like the one of the cars headlight with Corkscrew in the background. MA looks like a pretty good park, I should try to head over next year since it's only about 4 hours away, maybe even for TF!

Here are the pictures! I tried to include somethings that aren't shown as much. What a great site to see pulling into the park! We went to Timbuktu first for the low capacity rides. What a nice way to get out of the heat. I see two great coasters! The drop was actually really good! Three layers of intense! The only picture I took of Cheetah Chase Yum! I really liked Phoenix! Hey! You arent in the index! Doesnt really fit in with the area...but whatever! Sandstorm was pretty fun. Hmm thats not right Much better! Weee! Or Ouchh! Three rides in one shot! Before After Opps, forgot to put this in earlier. Well, here it is now! Is there a reason behind the 34? You can get some nice construction pics by RR! It's little things like this that really add to the park. They will come right by the truck! Mysterious... Yum..with a 10% discount. Club TPR FTW! This little museum was nice Maps! Old maps! Yeah! More maps! I like Montus color scheme. One of two new elements for me I took this from the train. It didnt turn out great but I still like it. Trying to be artsy... Not great, not horrible With the crew it had, I'd have to wait ten minutes to get a train in that shot Gwazi, meet your maker. No seriously trees made Gwazi. Here's another one of the index I think its just a helicopter ride..without the helicopters. Zebra! I think the train op said these are some of the worlds smallest giraffes I really like this shot The night effects on the train. They were kinda cool. Too bad it didn't get really dark until after the park closed. The bumper cars had lights too. Your tree has coaster growing out of it Porn. This turn was pretty fun. Wee ROARRRR *ow my ears* Jungala! Weeee! The water are was pretty cool Everyone was amazed by the bathing tiger! mmmm Sheikra Trying to be artsy again.. Hot mess That looks like a lions tail not a scorpion... Kinetix! Gwazi. It looked really cool at night! Thats it! Thanks for reading!

^ May 1st. When we were taking pictures under Eagle. You called us all nerds!

On June 22 I got to go to BGT for the first time. I was really looking forward to my visit and was pretty happy with the result. I had a Quick Queue but I ended up not needing it. Lines were nice and short for pretty much everything. Heres my ride count and reviews: Rides: Cheetah Chase - 1 - I actually found CC to be fun. Even though it was trimmed pretty bad I still thought it was a nice ride. Scorpion - 3 - Scorpion really exceeded my expectations. It was intense in the front and back, the crew was great and of course, not having OTSRs gives it an A+ in my book. Kumba - 2 - While Kumba is very purdy with its new paint job, holy freaking hell that thing is way too loud! While it is somewhat cool that you can hear it from far away, it really took away from my ride that I could barely hear anything else. The tunnel gave me headaches both times because it is just so loud. The ride itself is great but the sound really took away from my experience. Montu - 1 - I really liked Montu. It had a few elements that I hadn't done inverted yet and I thought they were really fun. It's pretty smooth with light headbanging on the corkscrews and tight turns, but the same thing happed on the other invert I've been on, so its nothing to get upset about. Sheikra - 3 -. Oh Sheikra, how I love thee. Sheikra ended up being my favorite coaster. It was smooth as glass and had great airtime in the back row. It rode it in each row and the back was by far my favorite. It was the only ride I saw breakdown, but at least it happened about an hour before closing. Gwazi - Tiger 1 - Lion 2 - I was VERY pleasantly surprised with Gwazi. Yes the crew did suck...bad, but I didn't think the ride itself was that bad. Sure there was no airtime, but it wasn't rough. It was a little shaky and bumpy but thats it! When I got off I wanted to smack everyone who said "Its a horrible ride, Gwazi is the roughest coaster I've been on bleh bleh" Gwazi is fine!!! Its not a rough ride. Take Hades turn from when you come out of the tunnel. Thats rough. That one turn is worse than all of Gwazi put together! I thought Gwazi was a very good ride and while it might have been a little bumpy, I would not say its as horrible as many people do. Sandstorm - 1 - Nice flat, they could use some more. Phoenix - 1 - Another nice flat, I had no problem with it like some other people have. Might have been because my shoulders weren't touching the restraint. Tidal Wave - 1 - IMO Tidal Wave would be better as a boat ride with maybe a smaller drop. It would be a nice ride for younger kids to, but I saw kids looking at the drop and then not wanting to ride. Congo River Rapids - 1 - Congo will get you soaked. The water jets right before you go in the station were pretty cool and caught a lot of people off guard. There really is no way to come off Congo and not be drenched. Stanley Falls - 1 - Stanley was nice, a bit jerky at some times. The first drop does nothing but the last one can get you pretty wet. Wild Surge - 1- Wild Surge was one of two new rides with Jungala. It's small, but has some pretty good air on it. Zip Line - 1 - I forgot the actual name of it, but the ziplines in Jungala were actually pretty fun. They were small but it was cool to try something new. Shows: Katonga - I really enjoyed Katonga. It was a great way to get out of the heat and the show itself was very good. The actors could actually sing and some of the scenes were very impressive and well done. Kinetixs - Wow, Just wow. Kinetixs is a must see show. It starts after the park closes and is in Gwazi park. The songs were good and current, the singers were good and the stunts were amazing. Really something that must be seen if your at the park! Pictures coming later today!

Thanks! Yep, Jo calls us nerds yet there she is taking a million pictures of a kiddie coaster. BGT will be up today!

Dayum, that is one ghetto control box on Galaxi IB does look like a very nice park, sucks to hear HH doesnt have a lot of air though, it certainly looks like it could provide a lot! Steel Hawg looks pretty good too, if the trim wasn't there you'd probably be getting insane air time on that drop.

^ Jo...you do relieze I was being sarcastic right? Anyway I'm happy were getting Chang...not happy that it's going to GADV. Cmon Six Flags just send it to Six Flags America where it should go. I'm also not insanely happy about it being a water park expansion but I geuss it is needed more than new rides or a coaster. Although if we do get a water coaster it would make me actually want to go to Hurricane Harbor!

According to Coaster Fusion S&S wants to start focusing on their new coasters and not the old arrow coasters. If they stop making replacment parts we could see many classics die.

According to Coaster Fusion, they have confirmed with the park that GASM will close on July 1 since replacement parts are too expensive. They said the ride will be removed for Chang an the 5D attraction plans are cancelled. I would post the link but I'm on my iPod. Check our CoasterFusion on Twitter for more info.

It sounds like your describing Wicked at Lagoon.

^ Is it possible for SF to request to not have their zoning or height requests posted so they can keep things a secret?

^ Oh. Hell. No.

I'm heading to the park this Tuesday for the first time so I have a few questions. Are Quick Queues available in the park or do we have to buy them online? Are there any problems with flip flops or sandals that don't stay on your foot? What should I go to first? What shows do you reccomend? And finally How wet do the water rides normally get you? Thanks!

Can't say I've ever seen skyway cars like those before.

Link Found this in the comments section. Someone please direct me to the muslim prayer area the next were at the park.

^ Just to be sure you arent thinking of something else. the one at LA does go in a complete circle but you dont get upside down at any point of the ride.
