Actually, the skyride will be shuting down in the very near future, well before any track arrives. ...And will probably be down the rest of 2010.

What, roughness?

^It has been confirmed that all on-site guest get early entry into WWoHP each day they are there from now till June 18th. As for FJ, I would get there as early as possible because the ride was only open for an hour Friday morning and a half hour this morning. So don't waste time with the shops first thing, if you really want to ride it.

ROTM at Universal Studios Florida on Thursday. Single rider line is definitely your friend. Even on a moderate day crowd wise, I was able to manage 3 walk-ons in a row at 11:30 in the morning.

Very impressive indeed. I'm right behind you, only about 40 to go.

For at least the next few weeks they are. What am I saying, more like for at least the rest of the year.

That just shows how intelligent the GP is. Just kidding of course.

^^But the GP wouldn't have till after 10 am, if at all. That would be a 2 hour time frame where only the people with the package deal got in. ...Though I don't believe Universal ever had any intentions of having the GP experience WWOHP today. I agree.

^Why would they be upset? I wouldn't be. With their package, they are staying four nights at one of the hotels, 3 day admission to the parks, Universal Express passes each day, breakfast at 3 Broomsticks, and a two hour "ERT" in WWOHP. I think that's pretty good to tell you the truth.

Good news, it appears soft openings have begun for the GP that purchased the package deals back in February. They are even lined up ready to go into the Forbidden Journey dark ride. It should be interesting hearing how the rest of the GP react that are at the park today, if they aren't allowed to go in. ...Which I'm hearing is probably the case. Edit: It appears they will be closing the area again at 10am, so it will be a 2 hour soft opening this morning.

Yea, I noticed the same thing when I rode it today. Still, the front gives the best overall ride in my opinion, while in the middle and back the shimmying is very noticeable. On the plus side, the wait was only 15 minutes at 11:00am today. ...Not to mention 3 walk-ons in the single rider line at The Mummy.

I tried that and nothing happened. What is supposed to happen? The peep is supposed to run to the nearest Intamin and ride it over and over again. Just kidding, I really don't know.

^Good choice, Zombieland rocks.

^You mean a dueling ZachSpin, right?

Come on, bring back the video. I didn't get a chance to see it.

Hypersonic-XLC. ...Great launch, very good air on the top hat, after that um...

I really haven't chimed in on the whole trim on the first drop, but I have to say that video is just sad. Hopefully they aren't done tweaking this ride just yet.

Thanks for the constructions pics Inukaza, nicely done. Oh and I really like that Kumba picture, looks new. ...Only one more week to go.

I haven't been on I305 yet but I have the feeling it would not have lost that spot anyway even if it was better than Bizarro. Too many complaining about the OTSRs for it to make #1. Yea, I know. My statement was more in jest, kind of tongue in cheek, since a coaster doesn't really worry about such things.

I guess Bizarro doesn't have to worry about losing its #1 spot in Mitch's poll this year.

^Yea, I'm looking forward to seeing the progress in person. I was there a few weeks ago and things were really just getting started. ...train tracks removed, dirt being moved, etc. As soon as Kumba opens back up, I'm heading back.

...Especially with a Harry Potter soft opening looming. Whatever you do, get there early!!!

I did a Zip line course in central Idaho last August and our instructor mentioned this one was being built. I believe it's the same company/person building it. While it won't be as tall, long, or fast as the one in Idaho, it will definitely be unique. ...can't wait.

^Tremors and Timber Terror are both great coasters. Thankfully, I have family that live in McCall, so I'll be visiting Silverwood this August for the second time in 4 years.

GASM, last Sunday. ...OUCH!!!!
