Great photos. Not-so-great coaster.

Not sure it'll be going fast enough to "roar."

Lightning Run has been topped off! KK Facebook

I'm really torn because I've always wanted to ride a B&M dive coaster but I really want to ride I305 as well. Does Griffon live up to the hype? My enthusiast friends that I went to the park with absolutely loved Griffon. I personally thought it was over hyped. It wasn't horrible by any means, but also not "OMFG that was amazing" either.

Busch for the overall experience. KD for I:305.

^Once is too much.

I really loved King Kong:360 so I am excited for this!

^Same.

I got the tattoo one, and I made sure to let them know what I think. As you should. It looks tacky! BUT this is MM we are talking about.... This nice gentlemen will be the pinnacle of guest service.

^I thought it was an odd survey as well.

^^They basically are asking what is and is not acceptable for employee appearance and how much it affects your visit to the park. They also throw in different scenarios such as providing an image (Photoshopped) of an employee with a tattoo on the arm and dreadlocks operating a ride. Then they ask if this particular appearance would be OK for other lines of business in the park such as maintenance, Life Guard, Security Guard, Games attendant, etc.... They are thinking about modifying their current grooming/appearance policy to allow short beards, short dreadlocks, and women to have any color of nails. This is a chain-wide survey as they ask you which park you frequent the most.

Anyone else receive the "Employee Appearance" survey in their email?

Nice. Looks like a little airtime machine. Mack has created a competitor for the Megalite.

Agreed. The Santa Clara Hilton is a great hotel. I would call them directly to inquire about the CGA package deals as I don't believe the deal is available for Friday and Saturday night stays.

Approximately 3 hours

Yea that queue will be full, plus some on opening day similar to Diamondback's opening. Source

Great report. Thanks for sharing. ^They sure do. He's been used in a few different mazes over the past few years.

Made that trip before and rental car companies will rape you if you return the car anywhere other than location rented.

Knott's refurbs GR 3 times a year and it's still crap!

^Do you have Epilepsy? If not, that would explain why the strobes/flashes are not disturbing. The parks do that to cover their a$$.

They might be referring to the on-ride camera flash.

The credit whore in me says.........."Powered Coaster Credit!!!"

Love this. Thanks for sharing. Video of monorail in action. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

^Agreed. Boomerang operates in all weather except extreme winds (35mph +) and lightning.
