I have the maps from '93, '96, '97, '04-'08 hiding in a drawer somewhere, when I find it I'll scan them, though I did a google search and found some great sites: Linky's: http://www.themeparkbrochures.net/mainmaps.htm PGA 1993 Park Map http://www.themeparkbrochures.net/maps/1993/pga1993.html PGA 1996 Park Map PGA 1997 Park Map PGA 1998 Park Map http://www.themeparkbrochures.net/maps/1998/pga1998.html PGA 2000 Park Map PGA 2001 Park Map PGA 2003 Park Map

They were filling all the rows and always asked for single riders which helps though I think they should just combine the flash pass line and make it a single rider line to make it easier. I kept getting Row 2 all day. Ohhh Just had a celebrity siting at V2 just now, Guy Fieri and his clan were at the exit. Guy Fieri heading to Superman Guy Fieri looking at V2 go...

At the park, fairly good sized crowd and Superman is running, though went down as soon as I got in line, but don't tell the media Ride finally got back up 30 minutes later. Got a couple rides out of it with only a 20-25 min wait . At the station 2 guys made a big scene after they were assigned the third row but walked to the front and refused to move whining that it wasn't fair because they waited an hour (was only 20 minutes). They were asked if they didn't move to their assigned row, they wouldn't be able to ride, but after another attendant stepped in they eventually got their way. Go figure

Yay new food shaped pads! I'm down as always, I haven't been to CGA on a Saturday in a long time.... Throwback Tuesday: Found these on youtube flashback to 1993 & 1994 Commercial in 1993, the first year Paramount took over...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOUy6znPa-s From 1994, from the VHS tape America's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills..

I'm just relieved we're finally getting a new ride, a major coaster that's long overdue. I guess I'm just so used to seeing what the new attraction would be every year being a passholder since '95, plus the 4 seasons working there, and then after getting nothing from '09-'12 (I don't count Planet Snoopy), it's just a big relief.

I think with the stadium issue all behind us now, I see the park finally getting the attention it deserves and the city finally waking up and not siding with the whiny neighbors for once, in regards to the the new lease agreements & incentives. Though there will always be height limitations with the airport which is inevitable, there's always a way around it, if they want it they'll find a way to build it.

Looking much closely at the blueprint versus the actual construction, the turnaround appears to be hugging the Xtreme SkyFlyer's twin spikes as Double0Kevin mentioned rather than being parallel to it and looks reversed from the original plans as you all mentioned, and is farther away from the edge of the park closest to the Prudential owned buildings. Can't wait to see what the final product will look like, Aug 29th is getting closer!

There won't be any cubbies just the "fluffy bunnies". There is a sign right before you enter the loading station that says "No loose articles beyond this point". Also was talking to a fastpass associate at Roar who said to use Flash pass only platinum FP users will be able to and will cost an extra $12 charge and can only ride once with a rsvp like X2 & Green Lantern.

Had a great day, met a bunch of great people including some TPR Members for the first time: Joey, Amy & Sunfire Was able to ride about 20 times before it went down right toward the end (only time it went down) , definitely a good ride, I actually liked it way more than V2! As Joey mentioned the guy who checked me also (one of the managers) got me in really REALLY tight (I can sing Soprano now) . The seats though were very comfortable, also have shin guards as well which were comfy, bear in mind I'm only 5'5''. The initial launch forward is pretty calm & quiet, but the second forward launch is intense, especially during the vertical stretch as soon as you reach the top and the surprise pop of airtime, as Sunfire mentioned, which got me every time! The roll definitely is really slow but is a great hangtime element. While waiting at the station, the trains zooms by so fast, with just one blink you'll miss it. Regarding the two doors, it looks as if the right side is Fast Pass & the left side is the regular line. The exit is on the other side. Will definitely will be a ride you should ride first when the park opens, and of course beware of the Fluffy Fluffy Bunnies filled with Medicine & Goo. There's a sign right before the loading station that mentions no articles beyond this point. Overall great thanks to SFDK on their great hospitality, can't wait till the next TV Commercial!
