Scream! is a mirror clone of Bizarro at Great Adventure. Medusa's clone is Kraken at Sea World Orlando. But where I see two of the same clones is at SFOT and SFFT. Batman and Goliath are clones and they are in the same state, just with different names, so it's not entirerly impossible for SFMM to see a Superman clone, although I highly doubt it.

I can give you some tips for SFNE: 1) Go to SFNE on Sunday. It seems you already have that covered 2) Buy the combo ticket! If you're not limited with funds, it is also worth getting a Gold Flashpass, especially since it'll be your first time going. Plus Frightfest is always the busiest time of year at SFNE 3) If you plan on doing all 3 haunted trails, go to the Haunted Mansion first earlier during Fright Fest. Since the night time doesn't affect the quality of the maze, it's the best to go to and it'll have the shortest line 4)Plan on an all day trip if you weren't already. Although it doesn't take a full day to get everything done at SFNE, the crowds will be extra heavy Can anyone add anything in that I'm missing? Hope you have a good time!

Usually (whenever I am there) Train 2, in your example, is just about done with checking restraints by the time Train 1 hits the brakes. Unless there was a problem/hold up during loading (like someone with disabilities, overweight, exit passes) Train 2 should be pretty much ready to go by the time Train one has returned. Of course rides have off days, but 95% the time there is no stacking on Bizarro.

I also have A PTR from media day. ^Were you there at 4:30 with ACE or did you show up at 10:00 with the contest winners. If you showed up at 10 you missed the awesome lights that Goliath had on in the morning. I arrived at SFNE around 4:30, as asked, and proceeded to check in. We were brought into CAC and stood around staring at Goliath for maybe a half hour/45 minutes before the finally began testing. Once testing was completed they let us all onto ride for the next 4 and a half hours. It was awesome. The queue was always empty, and re-rides were possible 100% of the time. I took a lot of this time to take the pictures for this TPR, as well as just look around. All in all, SFNE put on a fantastic event, I was so pleased and it exceeded my expectations for my first media day. Everything (except for merch) was free which made my day so easy because everything was right there when I needed it. I'm gonna quit the rambling and move onto the pictures, enjoy! Arriving this early gave everyone there a peak at Goliath's lighting package, which looks amazing in person! Goliath began testing around 5 I think. Maybe a little later? Then the sun came up, but it was cloudy. So the next few pictures aren't that spectacular Finally the sun came out, and Goliath looked beautiful! Riding Goliath with absolutely no body there was awesome. I'm so happy I got all my riding in today so I won't have to wait in those horrific lines this summer This was one of two places where we were able to get our lunch (this photo was taken around 7:30. We didn't have lunch until 11:30.) The other place was at Riverboat Cafe I think this one looks really cool, even though it really isn't that special. It's just balloons. Shipwreck Fall's old station looks awesome as Goliath's queue house. I'm so happy they kept it. This, as well as the next, are probably my two favorite from the whole report. As well as the very first night picture in this report. Artsy Artsy Artsy. These three were so hard for me to take. Around 10 the contest winners showed up and media day kicked into high gear. Actors, magicians, free stuff, music... It was just a great atmosphere! The stage where the ceremony happened as well as where the DJ was during the day. He played really awesome music! I have definitely never seen those two costumes in the park before. (Not the cowboys) Yup! I really love this. SFNE did a fantastic job on Goliath's landscaping! Perfect So is Shipwreck's old entrance a new viewing area? Because it wasn't fenced off but there wasn't anything there... But what the hell, it provides great views! Flashback looks so pathetic right next to Goliath. It's just so small and sad. Balloon race was running briefly! Goliath absolutely dominates SFNE's skyline. I thought this was a cute touch To conclude, I just want to praise SFNE for doing a fantastic job with today. Everything was perfect! Goliath never broke down, the free stuff was a nice perk, and the weather couldn't have been any better.

The old log flume was located where Splash Water Falls is now, right next to the water park. Also, SFNE would be smart not to build anything in CT. Although it would open up some space (like you mentioned the buffer, not much can go in that area without a special permit) the taxes, as some of you know, are terrible here. And just to build a parking lot would be pointless. Maybe if the employee lot was moved across the street with the rest of the parking, and they had a special shuttle that brought them out the back exit?

Does anyone know what SFNE is planning on doing with the old Ship Wreck Falls station? During the land clearing and footer pouring, they've just been moving it around. Now it's sitting on a concrete slab that looks to be poured for the station's size. Does anyone know if they're using at the new station for Goliath? Or as a queue house? Or maybe even something different? Here are some pictures: The newly poured concrete slab with footers sitting below it. Old station in the background And the station moved across the site and on top if the slab. Does anyone else think this could actually be used for the station? Or at least a queue house?

Since it will be FF, it will heavily impact the lines. Saturday nights at SFNE during FF are sometimes worse than weekends during the summer. Going to Bizarro first is always the best thing to do. If you are there for rope drop, run through KIDZOPOLIS. No one goes there and there usually isnt a security guard that walks you down to the ride entrance (unless they've caught on) If you have the money, you should defiantly get a gold flash pass. The regular ones doesn't do anything to help and the gold isn't that expensive. After Bizarro it might be smart to run up to Batman. Since it'll still be morning on a Sunday you might be good for a couple of hours, but since I've never been to SFNE during FF and in the morning, I couldn't tell you. I usually get there for the evening. But as the day goes on, everything will defiantly start to get longer, and it might get annoying without the flash pass.
