^yes, very similar to that.

There is a green piece that is connected to the track that raises and lowers in order to rotate the cars so that they remain upright in the station. When the ride begins ascending the lift hill, whatever is keeping the cars upright stops keeping them upright.. It's kinda hard to explain..

Which row was bumpy on Riddler? I rode it last week and thought it was running really well - on more than one ride. As for GL, are you talking flips, or complete revolutions? I rode in row 5 on train #3 (My ride on Saturday on train #2 was MUCH better). I mean complete revolutions. We did 2 360° flips in a row in the second half of the ride. And it seems rather stupid to just see the other train sitting there when they could use it.. There was nothing wrong with it, they just didn't take it out. Even if the sign meant that they needed to avoid the cars reentering the station weird, that pretty much means that it can't flip much..

Had a good day at the park today. Got there at about 3:15 and started out with Tatsu. Got on in 10 minutes and it was a good ride! Then headed to Apocalypse and waited 10 minutes (1 train operations). Riddlers: 10 min. (1 train, really bumpy). Green lantern (10 minutes, walk right in, got 2 flips at the end). Goliath (2 trains) walked on and got 2 back to back rides, X2 (1 train operation) 70 minutes .. That was LONG! And slow.. Got on at 7PM. Second to last train.. I lost my season pass at Green Lantern.. Hopefully they will find it. Saw Freddiew near the Center Ring Games with a flock of followers behind him! Haha Good day! But they need to run 2 trains on at least X2.

It was yesterday. Only one flamethrower though. Probably gonna head down to the park again tomorrow for another update and some more rides. Whoo!

Most of the cars were still flipping at the end, and I got an unbalanced ride (I went up the lift facing toward the ground), yet I still only flipped once at the end! It seems like the GP still likes it though. I heard a lot of peole exiting the ride talking about how fun it was or how it is their favorite ride. ^If the car is too unbalanced, it enters the station incorrectly and the ride malfunctions. Instead of fixing it, the made the ride operate differently then it is supposed to by redesigning the cars, and now trying to "avoid inversions".

Here's what you've all been waiting for! gl512.bmp

Yes. The end of the line for X2 was half way across the bridge. Goliath was to the entrance, so were Colossus and Scream. Batman was back to 2 trains and had about a 45 minute wait with 2 trains. Green Lantern was an hour. Riddlers was to the entrance, but I got front row without waiting, thanks to the SR line! About a 40 minute wait for Apocalypse, then Tatsu was to the entrance. It only took about 45 minutes! X2's music was completely fixed on both trains and was blasting loud! So worth the 2 hour wait! Oh yeah, at Green Lantern I saw a board that said to the employees "Avoid inversions." I will post a picture of the sign in a little bit.

WOW it was packed!!!! 2 hours for X2 and Goliath!! More to come soon!

^And my ride isn't going to get me there until just before 10:30. I think I would be better going to Goliath first, and hitting X2 and Tatsu in the afternoon. Last Jubilee day, I waited almost 2 hours for Goliath! Longest wait of the day! Because if we go to the Goliath side, we can probably walk onto all the rides over there, then run into lines at Riddlers, Apoc., Tatsu, and X2.

^Sounds good! Haha I am deciding which way I should head first today... because we wanna ride everything but we have from 10:30-9. It's gonna be a good day no matter what!

^Cool! Maybe I will see you there! It will probably be packed as there are Christian concerts, Music in the Park, and Math and Science Day all tomorrow!

^I will get some updated pics tomorrow.

Heading down to the park tomorrow for the whole day (10:30-9). Hopefully it will be a good day! I will post a TR on Sunday (hopefully).

9/10. Wow where in the world would you come up with that??

^Where Hurricane Harbor is today.

^LOL.

That's crazy! Usually it's just short of an hour and a half from the entrance through all the switchbacks! But yeah, with 2 trains running and decent operations, that is usually about a 15 minute wait.

Yes, it was quite strange... Tatsu was only stacking for 10-15 seconds.

^^That was amazing!! "water water everywhere we're gonna get wet!" that's gonna be stuck in my head for quite a while!

TR from yesterday: Entered the park just before 1 PM and walked on Revolution first. I rode in the middle and there wasn't much headbanging at all! Then headed up to Ninja and walked on that too. Then I had to meet more people at the entrance, so I met them and headed to Scream. Walked on that and Colossus. Then walked on GL using the SR line. Next to GL, there was a HUGE stream of water just running down the paved road between Tidal Wave and GL. Batman's line was almost to the entrance, so we decided to skip it. Then headed over to Goliath and walked on. Headed back up to X2 and there was a 15 minute wait. End of the line was right where they split you to the sides. Headed up to Tatsu and waited 15 minutes. Walked on Apocalypse and then returned to Tatsu to meet some friends. Rode 2 more times with a 15 minute wait each (and they were usually beating the 90 second clock). Then walked on Viper and rode X2 2 more times with a 15 minute wait each time. No music or fire. Operations: Everything was good except for Goliath. It was stacking half the time. X2 was usually dispatching trains with 30-40 seconds left on the clock (the other train would be just before the fire when the train in the station was dispatched). Tatsu was dispatching trains with about 15 seconds left on the clock. So operations were pretty good. Great day at the park! Future trips: Saturday, May 12th Monday, May 14th (RCDAY 2012!)

The park was DEAD today.

I will be heading down to the park today. Hopefully it will be a good day. I will post photos if get there is anything photo worthy. Gotta get 2 people on X2 who have never been on before!

^Tatsu ops have been overall better lately also. They have been running trying to beat the timer. Usually they won't check a few seats correctly and they will have to go back and check those seats, which delays time.. hopefully they will run 3 trains soon. X2 has been MUCH better. They usually won't stack anymore!

I went both years during the day, but not for the private party. 2010 wasn't too bad. 2011's was packed! Overflow lot packed. Had to wait almost 2 hours for X2 and about 55 minutes for Superman. P.A.C.K.E.D. But anyways...do you think it will be packed on Friday? I am going from 12:30 to 6, and I am hoping for an X2 marathon.. and I have two people wanting to ride X2 for the first time. I know that last Friday the lot didn't fill past the picnic area.
