Great trip report glad you and the family had fun! To answer your main concern, yes the ride operations are below average on a regular basis with an occasional ride being better than others. Personally just ignorance on the workers parts, most are teenagers around my age who don't seem to care about getting customers the best experience possible, but rather the paycheck at the end of the week. They usually do assign seats on Skyrush however like you said you can opt to sit where you want if you ask and are approved. I think they could improve by being stricter when the lines are longer, however Skyrush tends to die down shortly after opening anyway. To me best operations over the years have been on Storm Runner.

^iSpeed has OTSR's, the coaster pictured is a new lsm one in Turkey
My mistake, someone said "Ispeed clone" which it's definitely not.
Looks to be more on the intensity level of Storm Runner.No problem! I certainly would hope for the newer looking lap bars, not sure if it would work on Storm Runner with its laterals but never know. Fahrenheit they would certainly work on. Altogether there isn't really a need to change the restraints. SR is 11 years old and Fahrenheit is 7 so they've been fine!

There's multiple fan sites posting the rumor. I get what you guys are proposing, I just don't believe RMC has the physical man power to do any other project on top of Shot Rod, Roar, Storm Chaser, and Wildfire.
One, is Wildfire actually happening? 2 if it actually is, wouldn't Vekoma be taking care of it being they handle rmc's over seas production?
1) Yes
2) No

I think Storm Runner out of the 2 OTSR would benefit from the strap like harness. Fahrenheit doesn't have much negative or lateral forces more so +.
-
Yes! RMC confirmed oh gosh this is going to be nuts.

Plot twist, Intamin hyper/mega coaster coming. Anyone?
-
I wouldn't say GCI's coasters all age quickly. It mostly depends on the park and their maintenance upkeep. Lightning Racer at Hershey is a 15 years old and rides pretty well. But then there is Wildcat across the pathway. All depends on how it is kept in my opinion.
Seriously can't wait to see what the park has in store for next year. Could be just about anything imaginable with the supposed manufacturer at the helm
-
Batman just doesn't seem to be a standout draw. The other coasters getting mentions above are BIG new additions whereas even though Batman appears and sounds like a great addition, it isn't necessarily going to draw crowds from afar. Or at least it appears so. Just my 2 cents.

Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. What beats twisty Intamin? Really, does anything?
-
^That looks like a foreign language to me
-
^ah my apologies. I thought he was referring to a different Flashback
-
^got scrapped in 2007.
-
Good thing Fabio wasn't riding...
This post really got passed over haha.
-
^Just a consistent theme. I quite like it.
-
Oh my that looks awesome! Great location too right on the water.
-
It looks great! Fresh new paint job as well. Certainly will be a better landing spot than Hard Rock. Have there been any plans released for the rest of the park?
-
Better version (kind of )
Nice! This will be an awesome coaster. I can't wait to see what else RMC has up their sleeve for next year. Well, we know one other for sure. Cheers to KK for another winner
-
The complaining has already started......
-
Wow KK could potentially have 2 amazing airtime machines
-
Hopefully ones with lap bars and no OTSR's!!
-
-
Anyone else think the footers seem surprisingly high off the ground?
-
Skyrush wait times tend to dip around 2pm as mentioned. Should be 20mins and under for a Saturday. Also Laff Trak takes quite some time with a full line due to low capacity but it is a fun ride. Definitely hit Fahrenheit and back of park first as mentioned.

It seems they only wrapped the pieces that needed to be. I assume the rest of the track will be unwrapped. It will take an awfully long time to unwrap all of that, but as you mentioned^ I'll do it!!
