Could be both.

Thanks for the report Caesar. I'm looking forward to riding Battle for Metropolis (here or elsewhere). Magic Mountain has always been lacking when it comes to dark rides.

Excellent photos, as always, Andy. I haven't been to BGT in a few years--need to go back for Falcon's Fury and Cobra's Curse.

Hitachino Nest Commemorative Ale This Japanese import is a very pleasant ale brewed with vanilla bean, coriander, and other spices. It tastes a lot like a Christmas seasonal brew, such as Marley's Lament by Alewerks.

Some coasters can benefit from VR (the two family coasters as Europa come to mind), but I like it that Knott's is going for more of an "arcade" style attraction. They could adapt it for Haunt, too.

I would expect both parks to be fairly busy on Saturday (your Fast Lane will come in handy at KD).

Likely because they haven't found a way to work around the logistical/capacity nightmare VR brings. I think they had a VR-based maze during Halloween Horror Nights last year.

Twisted Colossus is a very good coaster when it doesn't duel, and a great one when it does.

^Hogwarts Express is both a screen-based attraction and a transportation system--not to mention a way to ensure that Potter fans buy a two-park ticket.

However this would cause BGW to lose some of its best attraction names. Le Catapult How about "Katapulten"?

I would consider this money well spent.

Celebrator Doppelbock Good stuff! Not heavily carbonated, with a nice malty taste.

Although I'lll miss Kanonen, I like what they're doing with that section of the park--some very good re-theming.

Alewerks Tavern Ale (American Brown Ale) on tap at the Movie Tavern.

I imagine mine will be Busch Gardens Williamsburg on March 18 (Passholder Preview Day). Shocking, I know.

Yeah, considering that SeaWorld's food has never been all that good.

I agree. It's pointless to complain about "sight lines" in an active construction zone.

It's already a great drop tower without the VR.

Just call us cockeyed optimists.

Definitely a missed opportunity.

You might be able to purchase a "one-off" Quick Queue for Tempest and InvadR in the park, but they're not part of the daily Quick Queue packages.

I tried out a Tall Tales Red Headed Stepchild last night. This is an OK Irish red ale that leans a bit toward the sweet side--just an average craft brew.

I can't tell you how excited I am about this.

^Maybe they've combined a Topple Tower with a Ferris Wheel. Or, most likely, the photo was shot from a somewhat skewed perspective.

So do I. It's amazing how well they use their space.
