I have to agree with the Zipper, its pretty hard to find one at a park. KMG rides too, they're common to see at carnivals, but in parks, not so much.

A tie between ARM towers and anything Vekoma.... On a side note, the lift hill on Tatsu is still to this day the scariest lift hill of all time in my book. I just hate the idea of it stopping and being stuck hundreds of feet in the air with the only thing preventing me from meeting the pavement in the restraint. And all of that is even scarier when you take into consideration that the ride is at Six Flags...

You know, I actually kind of miss disaster transport. I mean, it wasn't the best ride in the park, especially in the Intamin department, but it was a fun little family ride with some descent theming to it. I always thought of it as Cedar Point's quirky and somewhat ghetto version of Space Mountain, and that's what made it special and made me sad to see it go.

I kind of remember hearing about the park keeping that ride closed until 2015 for some TLC. Wow, its awesome to see a new Morgan coaster after so many years, and this one looks like its going to be a heck of a lot of fun!

Wow, its cool to see this ride getting built, looks very quirky and should be a lot of fun! But I have to agree with the location, this DOES seem like a Vegas thing.

I would probably pick Disney because although I love your "In a field" amusement park roller coasters, I'm even more of a sucker for themed rides and attractions and it doesn't get much better than Disney!

It's great to see the ride finally open, it looks like fun! I'll have to try to get down there soon and check it out.

Really cool stuff! Random question, how long does it take to set up Olympia Looping? It must take a decent amount of time considering how big it is.

I felt like ive posted on this thread before, but it I'm sure it has really changed since than. Coasters in no real order: All of the notable Schwarzkopf rides(Olypmia Looping, Dreier Looping, Bullet, Shockwave, just to name a few) I305 Skyrush All the Intamin wood's Mega lite Smiler Takabisha Expedition G-Force Goliath (Walibi) Bizzarro Boulder Dash That crazy high five woody That crazy GCI on a mountain in China All the Intamin Launch coasters All old school B&M's( 2000 and back) Parks All Disney Properties All Universal Properties Europa Park Grona Lund Tivoli Gardens Liseberg Dollywood Blackpool The Merlan parks The Seaworld parks That's all I can think of now.

Eh, I really don't like either but I would say Vekoma just mainly because of how much I "Love" some of there master pieces such as Kong.

^Correct < Is flat out bored v Thinks Gold Striker is the best roller coaster is Cali

^Is wrong v Is also a fan of Schwarzkopf

I only got on 2 new coasters this year: Gold Striker- I was really surprised about how great this ride was! In short, its fast, low to the ground, twisty, poppy GCI goodness! Full Throttle- I wasn't expecting much out of this ride, it looked pretty good but, well, this IS Magic Mountain we're dealing with here. But I actually did like this ride, mainly because it rode much differently then how I expected it to ride. The 2 launches are really fun and being hung upside down at the top of the loop is a pretty scary feeling, not to mention the weird pop of airtime at the top of the hill loop part going down.

Your very welcome. Total Darkness is a maze that is included with a standard wristband, not an exclusive up charge. Speaking of Fright Fest, I just got back from the event and I have to say, this year was pretty darn good! I didn't take many pictures because my camera doesn't take very good night photos and there was no filming aloud in the mazes so there wasn't much to photograph. But that doesn't mean I can't do a written review! The 2 new scare zones are a very welcome addition although Bloodbath Bayou still remains my favorite. The others were just OK but this one was great, lots of places for the actors to hide as well as it being very dark in that area. Water Work's pad was turned into a little hay bail maze/ character meet and greet for the kids, which was very well done and a great way to use empty space. And the mazes... well, your about to find out right ....now: Massacre Mine- The maze was pretty much the same as last year, but that's not much of a bad thing, because it was good last year and it's good this year too! Since this maze is very switch backy, that means plenty of jump scares, not to mention well themed walls and sets (On Six Flags standards of course) and some great scare actors! Slaughter House Pig Farms- Not much has changed in this maze, which, in Massacre Mine's case, isn't too bad, but I think this one is in need of a bit of change. I really like the concept and the maze it still is really well done, but it would be nice to see some different sets and rooms, mainly in the indoor part. But other than that, this is still one of the best attractions of the the event and is well worth doing. Captain Boat's Shipwreck of Horror- This one was a little weird this year, it started out a bit lame with just black walls and a few simple sets, but then it just pretty much transforms with well decorated walls and some good sets. And the amount of scare actors seemed to increased this year, as well as the length of the maze, so although I think this is one of the "lamer" mazes, it still is pretty good and is quite a bit of fun! Nightmare Manor- WOW, talk about improvements! This is really a maze that keeps getting better every year! The lighting was prefect, light enough to see, but dark enough to still be creepy. And the sets were much bigger and better themed and there were more of them as well, all having some clever but effective scares! Really, this maze keeps getting better every year and I hope that continues for years to come! Scrapyard of the Dead- This is another maze that could use some change, if a maze is good then its cool to kept it around for a few years, but its nice to have some changes, and this maze has been the same for as long as I can remember. Its still a fun maze, good scare actors that really know how to take advantage of their props and surroundings, but it is getting a bit used up and it would be great to have a few more sets or maybe make it a bit longer or something. Total Darkness- I'm not going to lie, I was pretty disappointed with this maze. Now, I LOVE the concept! A very simple maze with little to no sets or theming, its all about scare actors in the pitch black darkness. It seems like there is so much to work with in the dark, hind behind people with out them knowing, easily being able to hide in a corner and scare, etc. But, it seemed like all the actor's really did was just stare at you and maybe a give you a scream, but not to many jump scares or people hiding, which seems like there should be a lot of but I think the problem is that there really isn't much in hid behind besides the darkness it's self. Not a bad maze, but it could be better!

Flying Turns.... OPENED?! I..I..this must not be reality!!! All joking aside, it is great to see the ride finally open. It looks like another unique and quirky addition to the parks ride line up!

^In your case, get the VIP wristbands. It's only $10 more and yet I've noticed in the past that way more people get the regular bands than the VIP's, so you will be able to get into a lot more mazes that way. Also, I would recommended waiting until its dark to do Scrapyard of the Dead and Massacre Mine, they may not seem like much in the day, but at night when its real dark, those mazes are both a lot more awesome that way.

Ok, so what your saying is that a large racing woodie wont work and will be a bust but a larger woodie that doesn't race will? What makes you so sure it wont work, racing/ dueling coasters are not as common as they used to be, I would think just that factor would give it some attention. I'm not calling you out or anything, I just don't know where you're getting your idea's from.

I love the later color scheme of Thriller a.k.a Texas Tornado as its called in this photo. rcdb.com/492.htm?p=439

Hey everyone! So today I visited the park and decided to put together a little "Mini TR", mainly on progress going on with Fright Fest. But before I start, I just want to say that today was a weird day, I parking lot looked full, but the park didn't seem very crowed, I don't know whats up with that. But now, on to the photos: Time to start the day off with some Medusa and Kong. Medusa was, as always, a fun ride. And Kong, as always, beat the crap out of me... A drained Monsoon Falls, ready to have people walking through its station as a maze. Or at least I THINK its a maze, I don't remember it from last year, but it seems pretty small to be one. But if it is, its probably the new "Total Darkness" Maze. Here's the exit. Unless they extend it to the bridge and or queue, its going to be a pretty short and cramped maze. Oh yeah, you cant forget about the grave yard! This... ...and this seem new this year. I guessing there going to have scare actors hid behind them or preform on that stage there. Ether way its going to be pretty neat. Superman was awesome as always! It had a little down time later in the day, but I still managed to get at least 5 rides on it. Am I the only one who's reminded of that old NGC game "Eternal Darkness" when looking at this?! Here's the status on Water Works. Not much left except those water pump things and some planks. It seems like Soaker is going to be a tight fit if they really do put it in here, but Sea Port is a great location for it! This is going to be awesome at night! In the back behind those trees is "Slaughter House Pig Farms", the park's big indoor-outdoor maze, that has easily been the best maze in the park in resent years! Its pretty hidden behind the trees, which makes the outdoor part that much more frightening! The water jets in Voodoo's little poop brown colored pond were working. One of the 2(?) scare zones in the park. This one is usually pretty good, lots of things for the actors to hind behind! And I think this is the other one. Its usually filled with clowns, but I think this year its going to be called "Cage: the Experience". As always, the bumper cars are being turned into "Nightmare Manor". This maze has been pretty good in the past few Fright Fest's, so I'm hoping that's its only going to get better this year. One of the doors were open, not much to see except a maze wall. Getting ready for Fright Fest. SHARKS!! Oh yeah, there's a maze in here too. One of the port holes for "Shipwreck of horror". I love the way this maze interacts with the shark exhibit, I hoping its a little longer this year though. Heading back for some more rides on Superman, I decided to go for a quick ride on V2 and then check out the status of "Scrapyard of the dead". Here's a bunch of fences for all you "Fence Enthusiasts" out there. The mazes look just about the same as it has in the past so far. But it looks about half completed now, there's still at the junk and such to set up. I saw this thing right across from the sharks. I have no idea what it is, but it looks fright fest related. Maybe its that spider thing? White Water Safaris got wood....for Massacre Mine. Here's some rafts just hang'n out. Remembering from last year, this maze just OK at the beginning of FF, but was great when it became pitch black! And it actually looks bigger this year, so I'm pretty excited fro this one! On the way out, I saw Sky Screamer start to slow down and then completely come to a stop. I don't know what happened, but it was stuck up there for at least 10 minutes, which seems like it would be pretty freaky on a Star Flyer. And lastly, I now leave you with: OMG SO.MUCH.SWAG!!!! Lol. Thanks for reading.

Why would you ever question a drop tower themed to a massive elephant, I think its just there to be awesome. This park is looking great so far, and I can't wait to see more of that cool looking super splash ride!

Having a lady try to impress you with the fact that roller coasters are powered by gravity and are not completely powered by motors makes waiting for Gold Striker that much better!

Water Works never seemed to be that popular of an attraction, it seemed to be closed quite a lot and I only really saw it in use on the summer months unlike the other water rides. Tsunami Soaker is a good replacement.

Wow, this park is really moving along! Really great to see this park actually going some where instead of rotting away.

I still really like Green Lantern: First Flight at Magic Mountain, its gotten a lot of hate lately, but I really like it and I don't find that rough. Its wacky, crazy, intense Intamin goodness.

Minderbender at Galaxyland gets my vote! That thing pulls some crazy G's on those loops, not mention that the ride really never lets up with speed and those awesome Schwarzkopf curves until the final brake run.
