^Its still running, but like mostly everything else, it opened at 12:00. ^^They had a perfect off season. Massachusetts had maybe one or two big snow storms this year. There hasn't been snow on the ground since the middle of February. Buzzsaw doesn't have its sign on it. Flashback got repainted and personally, I don't think the new paint scheme goes along with the blue and yellow trains. I'm just disappointed because they had so much time to get these things done. I am glad I didn't go today. From reading their wall comments on Facebook it seems like more than just me is disappointed. I was told that they are low on staffing. Lastly, I'm not sure if Blizzard River is open because I heard it's still a mess from the mud slide a month ago that I doubt they made any progress on. I'm just upset with my home park right now. EDIT: I was just told that everything is finally open except for Bizarro, for obvious reasons and video of the valley happening is coming later today.

Its 50 out right now. It was colder earlier. I know they've been testing them with water dummies the past couple weeks but I have no clue why they didn't do it for morning testing. I also know that Catapult is closed and Scream was closed earlier. Both are S&S and they can't run under 40 degrees. They'll probably be opening soon. I had a feeling something would happen so I didn't bother going this year.

Its opening day today and during testing Bizarro valleyed. It is done for the day. Check out the live updates from the park @ SFNEOnline.

^ That's Little Six. They're using him as a character now.

So is Little Six going to be walking around the parks with is dad?

^Its not meant to be used on your iPod. Just for iPhones since they have GPS.

So this is going to beat out Bizarro at SFNE I guess. I need to get down here.

Sorry for the double post. Here are some more posted on their Facebook page. Construction on the new Johnny Rockets starts It will be like the one in Rockville

April Fool's joke or is Six Flags doing another viral campaign. Last April Fool's they announced both Bizarro's and showed the YouTube clips of them being stuck by lightening.

He said he wouldn't do something like that because, basically, that is what ruined the park. He said he wouldn't market the flats.

It looks really nice. Even now that I'm older, 15, it seems like its fun. I love going into those play structures. It almost looks like the new ProSlide ones. I hope the play structure next to Mr. Six's Splash Island at SFNE gets rethemed to look like that. It would be really nice.

Is it just a retheme/rehaul of the existing play structure?

^Its a Kuka arm on bus bars I think. Are they bus bars or buzz bars? Anyways thats what it is and I've heard that the ride time is equal to Splash Mountains ride time. There is supposedly a PR person posting on the Orlando United forums, that is trying to clear up some of the false rumors and this is what I've read from that person. But who knows if that person really knows anything. I'm actually pretty excited with this. They should have changed DD/DC colors since the dragons that they are themed after aren't that color. Hopefully since the opening is June 18 they do repaint it. I can also say that in person the castle is stunning.

^In the fan call you said they didn't have it at SFNE? I remember going to the exit with my little cousin because he couldn't ride Bizarro, although he wanted to. His parents were in Hurricane Harbor so it was my brother, my other cousin and me. My brother went on with my other cousin while I waited at the exit with my little cousin who couldn't ride. When my brother got off I switched with him and went to ride with my cousin who already got to ride it, while my brother waited with the little cousin. Not many people know you can do that, but I think if you just ask the ride ops, they will let you. I wasn't aware of the parent pass until you brought it up in the call. But I knew that SFNE has kid swap. Well for Bizarro I know they have it, but I'm not sure if the other rides have it. Now that you brought it up, the paper pass sounds better than just asking and I hope its implanted like Mark promised.

It was a great pleasure to have been included in this and I hope they do more in the future. It was a unique experience and I would do it again, even though I was pretty nervous about it. I was surprised when he announced SFMM getting Mr. Six's Splash Island to. I'm happy they turned down the Speed Racer idea. He misunderstood my question about Bizarro's lap bars. If anyone in the call could tell, I was really nervous, that Is probably why he misunderstood me. What I meant in it was when the new trains first arrived, it had the same restraints as El Toro. There are pictures to prove it. Then a few days later more pictures come out with the trains without lap bars. Then when it opened, it had the big, bulky, current ones. There is a huge difference between them. I wish I could have been clearer when asking my question. I'm glad things are looking good for the company as they are coming out of bankruptcy!

Elissa, were you just listening into it? I thought I would hear a question from you or Robb. I was just planning on listening into it, but last minute some people talked me into it. You can guess which one I was, I was really nervous and I felt uncomfortable for it. Anyways getting back on topic, do you guys think that this will be good for Hurricane Harbor? I don't know much about it, other than the fact that it hasn't really seen anything new in a while.

Can anyone officially confirm this? It came directly out of Mark Shaprio's mouth several times. I hope someone else in it can confirm with me later.

SFMM's Hurricane Harbor is getting Mr. Six's Splash Island this year to, along with SFNE. I'm currently in the fan call and Mark just announced this.

They didn't get rid of Chiller for The Dark Knight, they were supposed to run simultaneously together. But Chiller was beyond repair and cost to much money so it was removed. Movie Town Water Effect was just supposed to be removed and TDK replacing it.

Does anyone know where Studio6F is going? It is a store and an interactive area. They are going into SFOT, SFSTL, SFFT, and SFMM. I haven't seen you guys talking about it or if you guys know about it.

Tonight was the meeting to discuss 2010 park improvements for SFNE. Heres what is going to happen for 2010. The last project is tabled until it goes through the conservation committee.
