Personally, I thought Ultron was a good villain--twisted, witty, and well performed by James Spader. Yes, he's no Loki, but he was more interesting than the somewhat generic aliens in the first Avengers flick. I thought they made better use of Hawkeye in this one, too.

Yeah, just a smidge. In fact, it's one of the lamest-looking water parks I've ever seen.

I went to the park for a while today, and rode Tempesto first thing after opening. The wait from the ride entrance to the very back row was about 35 minutes--a little less if you want one of the middle rows. The time to dispatch trains was between 60 and 70 seconds, for the most part (actually timed one dispatch at 50 seconds), which isn't too shabby. I think a lot of it depends on how quickly guests can scramble into the somewhat cramped train. They were still offering the returnable fanny packs for loose items. Thought some of our members might be interested.

The "live raptor" is pretty cool.

^I'm not a big fan of salmon, but that looks pretty good.

^Looks like that few section turned out great--families should love it.

^Well, considering that it has only one track and two lift hills, it can't really "race." I'd call it a "dueling" coaster (depending on how the park operates it). Or maybe it's best not to think about such things and simply enjoy the ride.

Adventureland in Iowa--probably where the Dragon coaster is now?

^So, you weren't drenched by Pompeii's water cannons? (Or were they shut down?) You are, indeed, fortunate.

Both of you just relax, please. While I agree that Snowyowl1028 could've very easily looked this up on his own, let's not have a silly Internet argument over it. And let's remember that this is the Valleyfair Discussion Thread. Please stay on topic.

I'd always hoped for something along the lines of DarKastle (such as an adventure inside a pyramid) using the Tut exhibit as a queue.

Too bad the Noah's Ark flood scene is still out of commission. As for the fight, well, Kennywood is in a pretty rough neighborhood.

I just gave $5.00 to one TPR team member at each park.

What? No Hulk mint-flavored treat? No Thor goodies? HULK SMASH PUNY PIZZA PORT!

Yep--I'd eat that!

Same. I never had an issue with the old hard restraints, but I think the new ones will be an improvement.

^I am now sold on Mr. Dunderbak's!
