8/10...I like it.

Those are some great pictures! Thanks for sharing!

That looks so different! I can't believe how much steeper the drop is now! I really hope I can eventually ride it.

The lap bars are released by a air hose being plugged into the car. There are 4 cars, and 3 can be loading in the station at a time. The Funcoaster opened last weekend. I was able to ride it today. It's not so good... Most of the transitions are pretty rough and the cars are not very comfortable. They also have no clue how to operate the coaster. I felt like I was at a carnival. There was no queue lines...There were also multiple times where my car dispatched without the lap bar being checked. Most of the time they took almost two minutes to send a four person car! So, unless your looking to complete New Jersey, I'm not sure if you should stop here.

I was at the park today from opening to about 2:30...and I had a great time!! Rolling Thunder was first! (1 side / 1 train) -There was tons of new wood all over the ride and it ran very well! I was on the front row of the first train of the day! Only the left side was running. The right side looked like it wouldn't be running anytime soon, and it had one of the trains partially assembled in the station. The red train was missing seats. Kingda Ka was second (2 trains with a 10 minute wait) -The ride was running very well. The third train was still in pieces on the transfer. Next were Green Lantern and Superman. (Both had about a 15 minute wait with 2 trains on each) -Both rides were running very well. They both also were dispatching very fast! Neither were stacking at all! We passed on El Toro. It didn't open til about noon, with a long line and only one train. I think a second train was added later, but I'm not sure. After that we went over to Bizarro. It was running two trains with no wait at all. The trains looked very nice, but I wish the ride still had audio! I really liked it when it was working properly. The picture everyone has! After lunch we rode The Dark Knight. It had no line, and was running with less cars than usual. Afterwards, we rode Nitro. It had a longer line due to two trains, and the train not being dispatched until the previous one cleared the MCBR. Again, it was running smooth, but the ride could use a fresh coat of paint. Superman could too. Batman broke right after I took this picture! It was running one train all day. After Nitro we left...and the park was getting busier and busier. Overall it was a great day, and a great start to the season!

Will the park be busy Saturday? I'm heading there for opening...Get ready for pics!

Cyclone Williams Grove?

If you go Sunday definitely head for El Toro at opening. You will be able to get multiple rides on it without getting up.Then get your Lantern, Superman, and Ka credits. Everything else shouldn't be that bad. Nitro's line moves fast, even with just two trains.

Wow! I'm really surprised to hear about Bizarro! Did Nitro have one or two trains?

Thunderbolt at Six Flags New England Small enough to not be intimidating, but provides a smooth and fun ride!

Amusement Parks...I prefer a park with many large coasters over a park with heavy theming.

I love those colors. It looks great!

No, I found it on Elitch's Facebook.

I don't like icons.

No. Do you think Cedar Point will ever get a new wooden coaster?

The Runaway Mine Train at Great Adventure

Best: El Toro- the twister ending is awesome. Worst: Wicked- The first half of the ride is great but the second half is slow and choppy. The SFNE Cyclone- the trims really slow the ending down to almost a crawl.

No. Have you ever ridden an Ultra Twister?

Jet Star 2 at Lagoon!

The new Funcoaster, a couple miles from my house.
