  1. Nice! Looks cool. It's a shame it took soooo long but they finally learned the best way to do these dive coasters is not having a MCBR that kills all the speed and lazily waft through the rest, and this one has good stats, unique layout. Potential to be best dive yet. Gah I've already been beaten to the "it'll open in 2026" bit LOL
  2. Ah well, there it is lmao As stated already no one is really surprised just typical Six Flags stuff.
  3. Oh this looks damn fantastic! I think I finally need to visit this park next year (yeah much lament it's taken so long)
  4. Oh snap. One upside to falling out of the loop is its nice to be surprised by things again. Just saw a new coaster is opening (no idea when I see "2024" and its already July lol) this Flash: Vertical Velocity looks pretty cool. I reckon waits will be horrendous but just more justification to go off season weekday. I still am the resident "New Jersey person who hates Great Adventure" but they got the rides, so I drag myself once a year lol
  5. Oh good! Maybe people will quit whining, but I doubt it! Stoked to go this year, RMC Wildcat looks sick. As the only really bad coaster at the park this just makes its world class lineup even stronger. I know I got bias, been going since a kid and it reminds me of family (and later college) in PA but this park has a lineup only behind CP and with the new RMC and better restraints (granted I never found them thaaaat bad) this is even stronger now.
  6. Im glad I skipped going last year, (a break from a good thing is good sometimes) but I'll be going again this year. I pay no offseason attention so can anyone tell me what, if any, changes there are to platinum pass and all that? I was going to renew as I do every year but no idea if it's been changed, made worse, etc etc Otherwise I may just try to go for Coastermania as that kinda nixes the need for early entrance and etc
  7. Soooo it was the year they did the retracking (whenever that was) and I recall seeing a side by side comparison and the current looked dreadfully slow. There was no way eyes can deceive like its right there. I did ride it that year and full sincerity it felt exactly like the year before (before the retracking). And in general POVs of the same coaster can look very different....it depends on a lot of factors. You also can't totally trust one, I recall Skyrush looking cool but....OK, then we rode in person and uh yeah. Point being, you really can't trust POVs to make much of a claim, you have to ride it. We're enthusiasts we're all insanely critical and crazy lol I doubt anyone would fake their opinion. If people are saying they don't notice any real difference, they mean it. They'd have no issue saying otherwise. Also this is my personal opinion: the launch was great but a bit overhyped. It was fun but as we know it slowed down after a bit and didn't really go over that quick (I never got to experience the OG sadly). To be blunt I felt more WOW going over the top of Skyrush. It was ofc super fun and its a bit sad its gone but I truly cant imagine it'll impact the overall experience, deff wont make it slower bc again it was going over not that quickly anyway tbh TLDR: dont use POVs to make definitive claims. Im sure it'll be great still as some are confirming.
  8. As the person possibly/likely going (here's to hoping my soon to be new job is reasonable with understanding already planned events) I will say prepare to have your mind blown by the mountain scenery of the area. The drive from Gatlinburg to Cherokee, NC was some of the best I've seen, and isn't much longer along the way to Charlotte. If you feel we could use a dose of nature between the thrills! The parks of course speak for themselves. Dollywood lives up to the hype and Fury will blow your mind (+ their solid collection). Deff hoping the employer will be understanding and I can join!
  9. Shame but I suppose not surprising, and how much longer could they let the thing run like that if not getting worse. Still s a shame, that start is something else (and I know I was bummed I never experienced the OG version before it let up a bit) but yeah the ride will still be great and unchanged for most of it. Depending how fast the lift is it'll still be a fun start. May see if I can squeeze a trip in before the 30th just to get a last run on it (and I never got to Big Bear last time, arrived too late and lines were massive)
  10. Yeah I am so glad I made the choice to skip CP this year, partly for $ partly for a break, but it seems like 2024 will be the year to go : D I am floored, I didnt wanna believe it and get hope up but it seems the spike/swing launch is actually happening.
  11. June 2, weeelllll I'm gunna be heading back from Dollywood and I have to go by the Hershey area on the way back to NJ, I'd be in the area on the 3rd. This works out quite superbly! I am stoked. Hershey's lineup just gets better and better with time
  12. Nice. I find it best to temper expectations but that is good to hear. Great about Thunderhead, you're not the only I've seen call it the best right now which seems insane given LR but we'll see! Ah nice, I'm pretty excited for this trip.
  13. Damn, between this comment and the latest I went from huzzah! to it aint looking good lol That said still looking forward to my visit, Big Bear opened and I never put toooo much stock in a POV but it looked better than I imagined. I also hear the retracking of Thunderhead has made it top tier (and I already really liked it) and it's Dollywood which did live up to hype, so yeah I'm pretty stoked. In all seriousness ya gotta prepare for a 50% (maybe thats generous?) chance LRod will be down and bake that into your planning so if its down itll suck but eh. Planning on June 1 so hopefully a weekday won't be too crowded then. Last time wasnt bad at all but that was early May
  14. Going to DW in early June, hope it's running then (I would have to assume it will be?) well erm...."running" is generous guess I should say, open lol I'm taking a limited park year this season, probably doing 3 (4 at tops) so really hoping Lighting Rod is running.
