^ Cobalt isn't blue either, and cadmium isn't yellow, the colors are usually derived from oxides of their respective elements. -
It sounds like you have shorter legs but a longer torso, as I'm 6'3" ish and have no problem with Intamin OSTRs, your biggest problem will probably be legroom on woodies running PTCs and Arrows. Shoulders might be an issue on stand-ups (I know someone who's 6'5" that barely squeezes in with a bit of a slouch) and most other coasters with OSTRs, just be prepared to slouch a little to fit and maybe pretzel your legs.

I'll chime in as another voice who hates water rides with locking restraints, I rode Pilgrim's Plunge and the original Perilous Plunge but they both made me nervous, Pilgrim's less so due to the looseness of the restraint I managed to get away with. Both remind me too much of when I was younger and flipped myself over in a tube on a lazy river and was stuck because the water was too shallow for me to wriggle out of it and I had to try and flip it back over before I ran out of breath. On another note this sounds like a really serious ride system failure seeing as both the lift chain and the anti-rollbacks had to fail for it to go back down the lift hill -

I'm pretty sure that they have confirmed on the forums over on NLE that the transfer sections will be scriptable for a full range of motion as well as freefall, I'm not so sure about rolling though. -

^ The two closest I can think of are Powder Keg and Phantom's Revenge, both of which were unsuccessful at first and got reworked by a different manufacturer later in life. -

^ That sounds so awesome. That baby dissection was also really bizarre and cool, kind of makes me want to become a surgeon, until I rememeber the number of years of med school and residency it entails. -
If you actually mean January 12th not July 12th then you should be absolutely fine with no flash pass unless there is a special event that day (I doubt it, most are on Saturdays). A good plan of attack is arrive before opening and when the gates open head straight to X2 or Tatsu, if you're going to Tatsu use Revolution's exit path as it cuts a significant detour out, if you go to X2 follow it up with Tatsu. After that proceed around the park clockwise, you should have plenty of time for re-rides. You might also want to take some extra rides on Tatsu, Apocalypse and Riddler's Revenge early as they may be running one train. Besides that there isn't much to worry about, the longest line should be around 45-60 minutes if everything has 2+ trains, if not expect up to 90 on those rides. EDIT: I'm not sure but you may want to head over to Full Throttle early but as it just opened I don't know how the line for it will be in the heart of the off season.

If they do this I hope they have an "opt out" option. I trust SF's mechanics but I don't trust their data security to safeguard my fingerprints, retina scan, urine test, etc. I have never had a problem with my SF season pass, biometric surveillance technology is not needed. The photo is sufficient security to keep the pass from being overused. There are a lot of other things they could spend money on to improve their parks instead of this such as a roof over the station of their new coaster. Call me paranoid, but I don't really want my biometric data anywhere it doesn't have to be (driver's licence, passport etc.), I just have trust issues with large corporations, not that the last week has helped make me less so, but I think they need to have an opt out for those of us that are a little on the cautious side (I'm sure it's a fair percentage).

I bet that it's just more track for Heide, the piece in the back looks like the top of a zero g or a corkscrew on a wingrider or floorless.
