  1. I'm going to have to go with Phoenix at Knoebels! While it has a height of 78ft, it has 72ft first drop! One of the best woodies i've ever been on! =D
  2. I just did the same thing! lmao I can honestly say when i first heard of the new color scheme, I didn't think i would like it. But now after seeing both this and Stinger, I love it!
  3. ^The coaster they're getting this year is a lot better then the coaster they got last year!
  4. Update time! Return to Magic Mountain! So after a long night of festivities back at the hotel, it was time to check out of the hotel and move onto our next destination. After talking it over with Kyle, we decided to keep the rental car for another day and drive back up to Six Flags Magic Mountain! Since it was only about 40 minutes away and we had free admission we figured why not? Such an amazing sky line! A picture everyone has! I feel like this picture would be amazing if there was leaves on that tree. Much better!!! We arrived at the park around 11:30 and it moderately crowded. Since we had to leave the park around 4pm, we decided to hit the rides we loved the most during WCB! We went for a quick ride on Goliath and then it was off to Sky Coaster! Sky Coaster Credit #5 Goin up... ...and up... Weeeee........ I see you... =] After Sky Coaster, we noticed the park was getting pretty packed. We took a ride on Apocalypse which took about a hour then we took the long way to X2... Whats that? Lex Luther construction!!! Two hours later we are finally on the rap going up to the station! Looks like they missed a spot... Such a beautiful view from the exit! SFNE took Deja Vu, SFMM took Cyclone! =/ One last view from the parking lot showing off the mountains in the background! Thanks for reading! I'll post more trip reports as soon as parks in the North East open for the 2012 season! =D
  5. If anything that 30/40 height difference will make it looks much taller then Bizarro. If the two coasters were side by side, Bizarro would only have about 18ft on Goliath.
  6. It's just a radio edit that some stations use. We have two pop stations in GR, one allows gun, one doesn't. This is true with most six flags parks. SFGAdv videos say gun in the line for green lantern, while walking around the park it's cut out.
  7. Wow this is such sad news! My thoughts and prays go out to her family!
  8. Yea we did close to 400 miles in a few days! In the long run though it was so worth it! =]]
  9. Hey everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Now that I have some free time, I figured i'd post my Knott's Berry Farm trip report. After an amazing event hosted by SFMM, Kyle & I from from SFMM down to Knotts! We arrived to the hotel around 11:30 and man was I excited! My first ever view of Knotts! After a few short hours of sleep, this is what we woke up to! The view from our hotel room! We went to the lobby and met up with Nick, Jason, Travis, Jenn, Scott, & Chris. As soon as everyone was accounted for we walked over to the main gate! Our hotel! After a quick briefing from Robb, it was time for the event to start! Sexy While the tours were going on, we decided to take over one of the heaters and bond around the warmth! =] Awww... whats wrong Nick? Taking in the sights! <3 Open Wide =] I see you hiding WindSeeker! =]] Silver Bullet's still napping. I see you Supreme Scream! I'll be back to ride you right after... Xcelerator!!! And dam was it flying! Woooshhhh..... Knotts is so beautiful! Supreme Scream... Your up! =] Drop tower credit! So happy Knotts decided to re-open this ride! Such an amazing dark ride!!! With amazing themeing! Catawampus!!! Now I can check meeting him off my bucket list! =D Ghostrider looking all sexy and what not. ;] Best. Log Ride. EVER! One of many fountains and waterfalls the park has! I see you Jaguar! With 15 minutes until Silver Bullet & rest of the park opens, I had to do something to pass the time. =] My planking pissed Silver Bullet off! Yikes! My 2nd favorite ride in the park! =O -ahhh!!! And my first shuttle coaster! I see TPR members... Do you? =] The BEST all you can eat buffet i've ever have! Show off This top spin had the craziest cycle I've ever ridden!!! As nightfall approached, we decided to take a spin on Sky Cabin. =] I'm not sure why, but I think this picture is beautiful! I really didn't expect Perilous Plunge to scare me as much as it did! Smoothest boomerang I've ever ridden! Such a beautiful skyline! And last but not least, I leave you guys with this. =] Front row on Xcelerator! Over all, I thought Knott's was one of the best parks I have ever been to! All the staff was happy and was more then willing to help you with anything you needed! The park also has the charm of a family park, but also has rides that will make you scream your head off!!! I can honestly say I can't wait to go back to this park! Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this AMAZING event possible! Up Next- Return to Magic Mountain!!!
  10. I'm sorry man. I would be so crushed if SFNE closed. I can't imagine how you must feel.
  11. Yes! I'm so excited for this project. I can't wait to see how this turns out!
  12. SFNE- 2 Hours Canobie Lake- 2 Hours Lake Compounce- 2 1/2 Hours
  13. Hey everyone, It's update time!!! This time the update comes from Six Flags Magic Mountain for West Coast Bash!!! *** After reading, please leave comments below on what you liked & how I can improve on writing trip reports! Thanks in advance!!!*** After getting around 4 hours of sleep the night before, we left the house at 4am to begin our 2 hour 45 minute adventure to Six Flags Magic Mountain! We were unsure on how the traffic threw L.A. would be so we made sure we had plenty of extra time. We arrived at the park around 6:30am and saw this beautiful sight! X2 at dawn! When they changed it over to X2, they also made the world move around it!!! =D After a quick trip to McD's for breakfast burritos, we headed back to Magic Mountain! Waiting in line for the parking lot to open! The view from our parking spot!!! At about 7:40 we jumped on the tram and headed to the front gate. We quickly got our packet of goodies that included a wrist band, a lanyard, and a lunch ticket! While we waited around for the gate to open, Kyle and I jammed out to some old school Britney, N'Sync, and B*Witched! It was a nice change to the normal top 40 songs that always play at my park. At about 8:20 Robb did a quick briefing and we were told that instead of Scream ERT we would get Riddler's Revenge ERT! Already a step in the right direction! The gates opened a few minutes early for ERT and we were off to our first ride! Goliath!!! After being on the first train of the day on Goliath, Kyle and I decided to take a walk down to Green Lantern! Riot_[C]_(Real).nlpack Just think... In a few months, there is going to be a giant drop tower on the side of this monster! Such a nice entryway into DC! There it is! One of the reasons i traveled about 2,500 Miles! =D After waiting about 15 minutes for GL, we took a walk over to Batman to get our credit! I must say i really liked the themeing on this ride. Much better then the one at great adventure! =] Batman's Fountain is so pretty! =] As we entered the station this is what we found! =D After a front row ride on batman then a rapid fire back row ride, we took quick ride on Colossus. Once again Colossus was another walk on! I really don't see why everyone thinks it needs the Iron Horse treatment. While it may not be the smoothest ride in the world, it deff wasn't bad. After our ride we then met up with Nick (Odene497), James (Coastercrazyjames), and Jason (Rollin_n_coastin)! We all met up and decided to ride Riddles! Now i've been waiting to ride Riddles since 2003 and this is one of the rides i was most looking forward to riding! Don't get me wrong I loved the ride, I was just expecting more. Next up... Tatsu!!! I thought the ride was AMAZING! So much better then the other flyer i've been on (S:UF at SFGAdv). One thing I noticed though was that it was pretty rattley for a B&M but no biggie! Kyle, James, I rode together while Nick, Jason, Scott & Chris waited for another row. Lucky for us as soon as we got off the ride broke down! Sad times for Nick, Jason, Scott & Chris though for being stuck for like 15 minutes! While they were stuck we walked over to X2. I've been waiting forever to get on this ride and now all that was stopping me was a 1 hour 45 minute line! While in line, I got some great shots of Viper! I see you hiding! =] I love how close you get to the batwing! Viper's shy =[ This reminds me of something... I just can't put my finger on it... Oh yea... How could I forget you! So... Freakin... Excited!!! Our turn to ride! After waiting for almost 2 hours for X2, which was well worth it! The three of us decided to go to lunch! On the way to lunch, we passed by Road Runner Express but said we'll just ride it lunch. Lunch was pretty good, just the normal all you can eat Hot Dogs and Hamburgers. After we finished eating, we decided to ride Road Runner Express with the rest of the credit whores! So we got on, strapped in, and off we went... As the train came back into the station the ride op asked if we wanted to go again so we said yes! The train moved about 5 inches then broke! I guess the ride couldn't handle all of us a second time! =] After that we decided to ride Orient Express up the hill to Ninja! OMG!!! Its Great American Scream Machine!!!... Oh wait... Then back down the other side to... Sky Coaster!!! Ever since I was trained on one of these last season, I really admire the people that work so hard to run them. This ride compared to others is extremely difficult to operate. Some rides its just checking the restraints, pushing a button and your gone! Sky coaster you have to make sure your suited properly, hooked up correctly, make sure everything is facing the way it's supposed to be and then you have to catch them! Watching these rides operate makes me proud to be a site controller! Anyways moving on... After Sky Coaster we went over to Apocalypse, but it was down. After that we made our way over to Scream! Scream! Where's the auger of doom? After Scream, We decided to chill on the hill under Tatsu and have a photo shoot! So purdy! Best. Flyer. Ever! Haha don't judge me =] As it was starting to get close to dinner time, we decided to head over to Revolution for a quick spin then it was time to eat! James ended up going to eat with everyone else who bought the dinner, but Kyle and I decided to get food at Mooseburger Lodge! Kyle ended up getting the sampler platter while I ended up getting buffalo wings, and the bacon cheeseburger! The meal was amazing and thanks to my employee discount, I saved $17 alone! By the time we finished eating it was already dark out. Kyle and I headed over to Apocalypse and got some night time action! Signage! Something's missing... FIRAHHHHH!!! ::In muffins video voice:: With night ERT starting in 30 minutes, we decided it would be a good idea to go buy some gifts and other assorted items for friends back home! On the way, we ended up finding this! Creepy underground tunnel? Anyone know more about it? Anyways...I ended up buying around 12 shot glasses (popular item of the season i guess) and a X2 therms. Kyle got a hoodie and a snow globe! After that it was off to X2 ERT! Yea... I shouldn't be a stipper... Viper is even sexier at night! Noted! This is what X2 ERT looked like!!! =D Kyle and Myself! While riding we ended up bumping into Nick and Jason! Nick and Jason! =D After this we ended up meeting RC and another TPR member! We caught a few more rides on Tatsu, Revolution, Viper, & X2 before calling it a night! Thanks so much to everyone that helped make this event possible! I had an amazing day!!! ***NEXT UPDATE!- KNOTTS BERRY FARM- WEST COAST BASH EDITION!!!*** Thanks for reading! -Kev Superman looks beautiful with his new paint!
  14. Deff! I can't wait for our trips this year! P.S. Theres a BIG West Coast Bash update from SFMM coming really soon!!! =]
  15. Thanks to Robb, Elissa, And everyone else that helped make wcb a reality! This was my first wcb and i don't think I could have had anymore fun! Thanks so much!!! =D
  16. Ugh, don't get me started on this topic... needless to say, great parenting putting your kids in jeopardy by wanting them to ride a ride they can't ride safely... we don't set these height requirements just for fun. I couldn't agree more! I also can't stand when guests stand right in front of an entrance blocking it. Then when you politely ask them to move, they are really rude!
