I don't know how many of you have ridden a Zamperla Giant Discovery before. The only two currently existing in the US are Black Widow at Kennywood and Riddler Revenge at SFOT. But I can tell you this, they're absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! And I assume yours will come with the same killer light package that ours did down here in SFOT. Right now Riddler is so popular that I would venture to say it stands along side NTAG as the two best rides we have in our park. Oh, and did I mention that at night Riddler is absolutely breathtaking with it's incredible led light show. There is nothing more brilliant than a nighttime ride on the Riddler. One woman came all the way from Kansas just to ride it during the VIP preview. She told me she had ridden it 36 times and was saddened that she couldn't stay and ride it more. Having ridden maXair ar CP, I already had an idea what to expect. But let me tell you that the Zamperla Giant Discovery beats out the Huss Giant Frisbee. The ride feels faster and more intense, also, the seats and restraints are much more comfortable. To me, Riddler seemed to achieve more sheer height and weightless feeling than maXair. So, it's fair to say that you really have something to look forward too.

I suppose I could say the same about SFOT. In fairness, I must applaud the efforts of Steve Martindale and SFOT Management. They always make sure that our park receives something respectable each year. If it was a Star Flyer, then it would be the 400ft version. If it was flats, then we would get the best flats money could buy. We are still the only SF park to have received a Zamperla Endeavor ride. And ours has twice the seating capacity of the one at Coney. Say what you will about our forth coming S&S 4d Free Fly. At least it's not a Larson Loop or used bumper cars. Hopefully, SFSTL management is planning for something big in the future. Who knows, maybe that RMC T-Rex Giga is on the horizon.

Those Justice Leagues don't come cheep... some will argue that they are saving production cost money (mostly by splitting the bill over so many clones) by building so many, but those motion base vehicles they are using come with a pretty hefty price tag. While I don't have an exact price tag, I'd venture that the Justice League attractions cost about as much (if not more) than a decent size coaster and likely cost more than the S&S Free Spins they have been building. Here at SFOT, we got our Justice League ride the same year as SFSTL. But that didn't stop us from getting a 4D Free Fly, so that can't be it.
