It was super crazy this Saturday, but lines were moving. Bizarro had a 10 minute wait, Nitro was 15 minutes (from the 60 minute sign), Batman had a station wait. Runway Mine Train was the longest wait, about 45 minutes because the crew was slow, a train every 5 minutes. Not sure about any other rides because we catered to children, but I'm heading back this Friday, and I used to get insanely lucky on Friday's but that maybe have changed.

El Toro went down for most of the night tonight, it was crazy busy, but the lines for the B&Ms were non stop moving. Nitro from the 60 minute sign was at most 10-15 minutes. Longest wait of the day was Runaway Mine Train, shortest was Batman. Got on Runaway Mine Train x2, Nitro, Batman, Bizarro, Ferris Wheel, Skyride 2x, Off Road Safari. The only reason we didn't ride more is because we had 2 children, one is only 3.5 and the other 5, and hard to manage, so our group trades off and I'm the ride partner. I'm going next Friday, just me and my friend, no children so it's my time to shine next week, If you see me (bridge piercing, both nostrils and septum, all black jewelry, and I'll probably have my black sclera lenses in for Fright Fest, say hi, I'm nice)

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

Yeah, they would assign rows to groups, but every time I asked for a certain row, they had no problem giving it to me. If they did I probably would have brought up the fact that I just waited so & so amount of time in line, I deserve to choose where I want to sit. -
Pokemon GO at Theme Parks!
B&MIntaminGCI replied to Peeps28's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The Dragonite keeps escaping me, he was there today at 6:30pm. We've probably been there at the same time, but go to the South Beach Fishing Pier right by Seaview Ave, it's always loaded with lure modules and I've caught most of my rare Pokemon from there, I got a 1098 Rapidash, 1002 Dragonair, Dratini, Electabuzz by the big rec center. Omanyte's, Kabuto, Jynx, and more. There's always like 100 people there too, even at like 2am. -
Pokemon GO at Theme Parks!
B&MIntaminGCI replied to Peeps28's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would love to hit up SFGAdv with Pokemon Go. I usually hit up Historic Richmondtown and the Boardwalk by my house, I've been going every night and I'm halfway to level 23 and I have 114 pokemon out of the ones obtainable. I've met so many cool people and it's just fun. So I can imagine waiting for rides would be drastically improved by playing this game in an amusement park. -
Actually this wouldn't be an awful thing either now that I think about it. Yes, the crowds at night will be huge but the event is really amazing. We went last year and were blown away. If you haven't been to a big budget haunt like Universal I would almost suggest going out of your way for it if you're into that kind of thing. We were used to small regional park haunts (Six Flags Fright Fest, Halloweekends... things like that) and this is on an entirely different level. Since you'll be in Florida in October I'd suggest that or HHN if it works with your schedule. I wish it could but we're going down the 11th and leaving the 14th so the 12th is dedicated to BGT and the 13th for a Big Cat sanctuary.

I'm going to be coming to Tampa for my first time ever in October, and we're visiting BGT (per my request ) and I was just wondering if the major coasters are doable in one day and how busy it usually is around that time of the year? Really stoked for Kumba and Montu, I just got to force my friends to be up super early or they can meet me there and I'll cab/taxi.

Kolmården Discussion Thread

This roller coaster is what I imagine when I imagine the god of roller coasters. RMC is insane, and this just looks to blow every other roller coaster out of the water, I can't imagine anything better than this ride -
Today is El Toro's 10th Birthday, it opened June 11th 2006, and I was the first public rider to ride in the backrow. I waited from opening until they soft opened it at 1-2pm second in line. Ran straight to the back and sat with a preview rider and he told me to keep my hands up. I've never felt ejector like that in my life, it scared me so much, and from that day on it's been my favorite roller coaster ever. So HAPPY 10 YEARS EL TORO. KEEP KICKING ASS

Alton Towers Discussion Thread
B&MIntaminGCI replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Also, is each row staggered because if the front row is going over the lift the back row is still on the lift, and if all the VR's are synced it would be a mess... -
The old picture is from the opposite side of the corkscrew, if you could walk into the construction site and look through the corkscrew to where the new picture was taken from, everything lines up perfectly, as with the shaping. (as you can see the supports line up from that angle and so does shaping)
