I'm looking forward to the lap bars more than anything. Are there any other major drop ride installations with lab bars to compare to?

That's pretty cool, but I'm unfortunately underwhelmed with Siri. I'm still glad I upgraded to the 4S though, the speed is fantastic and I'm also happy that I have the fake 4G (yet still faster than regular 3G) that I get by having AT&T with it.

Anyone have any info on how testing has gone? Magic Mountain hasn't posted anything on their FB... Hopefully they're still on track for next Saturday. Would it be considered a bad sign if they didn't soft open at all in the next few days leading up to Media Day?

I'm going tomorrow to ride RSR for the first time! I'll definitely have to get in on the single rider action.

Looking really good. I'm much more interested to see it testing at the same time with S:EFK though.

I just graduated from high school! I will be attending Loyola Marymount University in the fall. I'm also leaving in a few minutes to LAX, where I will leave to an 11-day trip to Europe.

Nice theming. At the very least acceptable theming. The last few new rides Six Flags corporate have put out have raised the bar for the chain, as far as theming goes.

"'Gelato isn't vegan?"

They're two completely different types of rides though, and one is going on a structure that wasn't even made for what it's being used for.

It's most likely that it will be fairly crowded all day since Thursdays for the next few weeks are grad days for a lot of schools. If you're going to get the flash pass, I don't really think you need to buy it online if you're worrying about them selling out. They don't sell out that quickly. You should go straight to X2 or Tatsu, then go back and get your flash pass (know you have to pay extra if you want to use the flash pass on X2; Tatsu comes standard). Lines will probably vary, with X2 reaching 90 minutes, Tatsu following with around 60 I'm guessing. The other rides will probably be 20-30 minutes, reaching 45 possibly at peak times. This is only a guess though, as any day can be different there.

Those restraints are unbelievable for a park that went to the extent of putting OSTRs on Revolution. I never had a problem with OSTRs on drop rides, so this will be a truly amazing and terrifying experience.

I hadn't heard anything about this. Was that pun intended? Aww man I'm cracking up. They need to advertise these events more though, I didn't know about this either.

That's one hell of a Toys R Us! Newsies looks like a fun show, hopefully it will come to LA.

Why do all the water dummies have duct tape over their eyes? They know their not real people right? Right? My guess it that it's to reflect the sun away from the water?

^Were they enforcing the password thing? I'm skeptical that they're not going to let all of these people in...

I can't wait to ride this... Hopefully if I end up loving it, I'll have a reason to go back to USH when I currently prefer all of the other SoCal parks over it. Also, I thought the official grand opening was the 25th? I'm surprised they had all of this a day early...

I don't have a problem with what they're doing at all, but I don't think they're worried about turning customers away. If a company charges X amount and gets maximum demand, why not charge Y amount if you can get the same demand? It is Economy 101 as you said, I'm just not so sure about them thinking about turning anyone away.

Does anyone know if the park still does that thing where they give the first people at Goliath park exit passes? I'm going with a friend tomorrow and thinking about doing that...

Wow, it's amazing to see Adventureland there like that, completely empty. Are there any parts in the park that get completely jam-packed at night like in Disneyland?

If they 'fixed' GL then they could do that and run the ride the way it should be run. I'll play devil's advocate and say that it's already been stated that Insane and other Zacspins have the same issues issues that GL has. However, it's up to the park to be prepared to handle the ride's issues with the way the cars come back into the station.

That's certainly very interesting combined with what was on Screamscape a few weeks ago, that the top floor of the StarCade is listed to be refurbished in 2014. Maybe these two things go together? This makes me wonder about the rumor of a Tron ride with a new Tomorrowland around 2014, but they'll probably just make a Flynn's arcade there.

The space where the car comes back into the station at the end of the ride is vary narrow to the point where people in that seat would have been able to get their arm stuck or something.

Nina is by far the worst in my opinion; I was completely surprised the first time I rode it when all of a sudden the ride ended with a long lift.

Well then excuse me, sir.

Yes, the ride is called Green Lantern: First Flight.
