First off, this is my first PTR and I left my camera at home so I had to use my phone's. Ride Count -El Toro (4) -Bizarro (2) -Kingda Ka (1) -Nitro (1) -Green Lantern (1 too many) Breakdowns -Green Lantern- for about an hour around noon -Runaway Mine Train- In the morning for close to an hour. -Parachute Tower and Sky ride- Because of wind? -El Toro- For about an hour in the early afternoon -Kingda Ka-In the afternoon -Rolling Thunder- Removed one train, and added another. They were using the new security screening and it seemed to move much faster. The worker, an older man, told me to be sure to check out Batman and Robin: The Chiller. Hahaha. We entered about 5 minutes after opening and the park was dead. We went over to El Toro first. We walked right onto the front row. What a way to start the new season! After, we stayed on 2 more times, but on a different row. I was shocked that they had 2 trains going. The operators struggled to get each train half full. We then started to make our way over to Bizarro. While we were walking over, I noticed that the Runaway Mine Train had one train on the track and was broken down. We first rode Bizarro front row. They were running two trains. The third was on the transfer track though. As you can see, there was no one there. The only seats that were filled were the first 4. The audio was working and sounded great. After, we switched rows to the back. We then went over to Kingda Ka. We waited about 20 minutes for front row! Yea, 20 minutes for front row! The ride did break down twice while were in line but nothing major happened. The train before us rolled back though. Our barely made it over. Around 1, the ride broke down, and stayed closed and we didn't see it reopen before we left at 3. Then, we rode Nitro. There was a 40 minute wait for front row because there were only two trains. The third was in pieces behind the storage shed. Congo rapids was drained. We then went to lunch... On our walk back in at around 1, and the sky ride stopped for about a minute. That would be scary to have been on! The sky ride never reopened after that. The winds weren't too strong, but the Parachute Tower was closed too. After lunch we went back to El Toro for our fourth and final ride on it. There was about a 20 minutes wait for last row. The crew for that ride was AMAZING. They didn't stack once when we were in the station. El Toro's second drop While in line I noticed Rolling Thunder was running the Blue and Yellow trains on the right side. Earlier in the day the Green and blue trains ran on the right side. The left side never opened. Too slow Too early Just right! Somewhat of a nerd shot Lastly, we went to Green Lantern. We waited 60 minutes for front row as only 2 trains were running. The third was still in pieces behind the transfer shed. The crew was also incredibly slow. Painfully slow. There was 6 attendants checking harnesses but they still managed to stack for a few minutes each time. Not good. Artsy short. Too bad the incline loop is incredibly rough, almost painful Corkscrews. The worst part. At that point, the park was getting crowded so we left. Thanks for reading! Edit: I forgot to mention that the railing in Green Lantern's station were covered with this sticky black substance. It was disgusting and stuck to your clothes. There also was a few park maps stuck in it.

You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If....
RideofSteel replied to PCW_Nut's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You have a huge framed picture of your favorite coaster in your bedroom. Or, if you refuse to go to parks you know will have big crowds and bad operations. -
NL...or SIMS 3. Either way, they're both great games.

Batman: The Ride - Simulator
RideofSteel replied to Category3's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I like it. Is there a way to open the ride yet? I couldn't figure out how to. Also, I think it would be nice if you added some sort of monitor to see where the train is at all times. Thanks for posting this. I look forward to seeing the finished copy. -

Did anyone else notice in the POV that Dragon Fire had both trains on the track? -
I saw TPR's pov of Battlestar Galactica the other day, and I was wondering who rode it? What was it like?

Kingda Ka....I think that's been said before though.

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
RideofSteel replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The other day I was wearing a Superman: Ride of Steel shirt from Six Flags America. Some random person came up to me and said my shirt was lying and that Superman (Referring to the one at Great Adventure) isn't 200 feet tall. Then I told him how its a different ride, and he replied, "So they took out superman for another superman?" At that point I left. -
