^&^^ Yup! SFWoA was a ton of fun! Think how much money they threw into that place and it showed for one or two seasons. Why should people still care and be bummed now though? It's been like 15 years and we all knew this was coming. Might as well have fun with it!
10 years ago I would have cried and screamed not to let Six Flags or Cedar Fair buy BGT. At this point, I think I'm okay with either making the purchase.
Love the Safari attraction. They did an excellent job with the conversion. KT wanted to ride it more than once. I only hope they find a way to incorporate the monkeys some day.
Has anyone seen the new Autozone commercial?
Kind of funny. Family is getting their car ready for a road trip to a park and just as they say "Home of the 3 hour lines and $9 sodas", the camera pans and you can see they're at SFMM!
Far too often...
KT had a nice time on the trip, to answer some random questions I saw:
- She doesn't like parks and coasters as much as we do.
- Phoenix is still her number 1 coaster by far.
- The noises she made while riding Phoenix GlowPhest ERT were hilarious.
- She liked her first B&M credit's with Valravn being her favorite of the three she rode.
- She hated Mean Streak the same as the rest of us.
There is nothing weird with multiple accidents all happening at parks this week.
Do the math, the statistics...this is one of the busiest times of the year for parks, therefore there will be more 'incidents'.
I feel the way most of you do.
Pros:
- It was a second rate Tower of Terror to begin with
- It will help with that area of the park
- Great looking concept art
- Better drop sequence
Cons:
- Six months!!??! I know Disney can make magic but this will be tough.
I guess I'll throw my two cents in here...
I rode Mako for the first time last week. I felt it was a pretty standard B&M Hyper. The one sad thing was that I felt the ride might actually have some real potential on the back half if it wasn't for that evil trim. I noticed the trim on our first ride on a half full train. On our second ride with a full train the trim tried to give me the Heimlich Maneuver it was so strong!!!
Fun ride though, really good fit for the park.
