Man....Japan always outdoes everybody. Haha

I went on Full Throttle this evening and I loved it! It exceeded all of my expectations. I wouldn't put it in my list of top ten coasters I've ever ridden, but it would definitely fit in with my personal top ten coasters in SoCal. The airtime on that ride for me was CRAZY. I was not expecting that major ejector airtime going down the drop! What I thought for me was going to be a lame, gimmicky one-trick pony turned out to be a ride that has me debating on whether I should rate this higher than Xcellerator or not (Leaning towards the latter). Overall, not DA BEZT COASTER EVA!!!, but still a really good ride. Can't wait for the ERT on this baby during WCB! By the way, I rode this at night. I recall some of you were wondering what happens in the tunnel. Nothing other than a standard strobe light. No fog, special lighting, fire, or anything. I guess they had the skateboarding dinosaur turned off.

I'm really pleased to hear all of the positive reviews of this ride. It sounds like FuII Throttle has exceeded everyone's expectations. When I get off of work this evening, I'll be making the drive to Santa Clarita to join the long line on this thing. I'll be having those garlic wings to satisfy me while waiting. Haha.

Just saw the report on Youtube from KTLA and I think this is totally on SFMM. Shouldn't this have been done a while ago instead of at the last minute? The park should have been more organized planning this. Even if they decided to have the opening one more week from now, that would solve this issue as they should've thought about this. That will leave a VERY bad impression on the customers who went to the park mainly to go on that ride. Of course, I'm assuming this will take longer than expected. If it's not that big, then cool. But still, it just seems so unprofessional and so expected of this park.

They could always expand the building. That's the only possible way I can see them fitting in a dark ride. They could add on to it by the the scrambler and where the bumper cars is. They could also move Johnny Rockets to where Coasters is to make room.

Here's another one. http://blog.pe.com/2013/06/14/knotts-berry-farm-garner-holt-shares-log-ride-experiences/ There's an article mentioned that there are two other projects planned for SoCal. The link that shows all of the art for their different projects also shows what could be the new dark ride for Knott's. Look at Echos Across Time. Where do you think that could go?

Yeah, sorry. That's what I meant to say. *Facepalm*

I went yesterday and noticed that Montezooma and Xcellerator are now closed. Anyone know why Monty is closed right now? I figured Xcellerator is closed from that bee incident. Oh, and I got to check out the new Log Ride while I was there and absolutely LOVED what Bud Hurlburt did with the ride. The scenes look like something made for a Disney attraction. The smells in there were also great. The only complaint I have about the ride is that the logs breeze through the scenes so fast, you don't have time to take in all of the details.

Just an FYI, I went to the park yesterday, and it wasn't that bad. It was fairly crowded, but the wait times for the rides were five minutes all morning until around 1:30. Then the waits got up to a half hour. You'll be fine.

A ride that's actually somewhat good.

Not to mention funding for new attractions.

Good riddance! By 2015 we will have passed the $100 mark!

I love the posts I'm seeing on my Facebook feed. One of my friends took a snapshot of the fire and the comments said that Apocolypse burned down. It would be highly ironic if it did though.

I stumbled across this this gem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC-iI-DieFE What made this video was one of the comments on there. Uh, yeah...no.

I agree. Granted, I haven't ridden it, but after seeing the POV of the ride, I can't help but think how "meh" the whole ride is. I think Transformers is going to be the clear winner here in Orlando. For the San Diego park, I thought before the ride opened that this would make a great replacement for Wild Arctic. I honestly think keeping that ride a lot longer would be a better alternative than replacing it with this. Never, ever thought I would say this considering how excited I was to see how this would turn out.

I think it will be pretty empty. Most school students in there area are taking finals this week and next week. The holiday weekend is coming up so the masses will want to wait until then to go. Weekdays during the non-peak season are Great to go.

There is one down the street from SFMM. If you're willing to leave the park for maybe an hour, you can drive down MM Parkway down to the Valencia Town Center. I've eaten there fairly often.

Just Forbidden Journey and most-likely Hippogriff. There will certainly not be Dragon Challenge.

It's almost a year ago now. When did it come out? June? July?

The survey focused a lot on clowns and Hot Wheels for me. I put in the survey that when I think of clowns, I think of scary man-eating creatures. Haha

Knowing the park, they'll probably replace it with something that will only take up 1/3 of the space.

^I agree. I honestly thought it was better than HHN's (Hollywood) event. I'm really looking forward to see what they're going to do this year.

Haunt's 40th was so successful last year. I guess you haven't heard that Trapped sold out just about every night of the event's run. This sounds like an outlandish rumor some employee sprouted just to see how far it would go. I have a couple of friends/acquaintances that have seen the Haunt makers from time to time. I can promise you that this is not true. They're hard at work to make another awesome year. Like everyone has brought up, why kill the goose that laid the golden egg?

My only concern about the Ratatouille ride is that from the reports on the web from the available documents, they mentioned that most of the scenes take place in hemispherical screens. I'm hoping that the ride doesn't rely too heavily on the screens to the point to where it's more of a simulator than a dark ride.

I want one of these right now! Same here. The WDW parks need to sell this stuff in their restaurants.
