I just rode it on Sunday and it was better than last time. I personally love it, to a point. The first half of the ride, riding an inside seat, is my all-time favorite ride. It is very unique and you just can't get the same feeling on any other ride. However, the second half can be either somewhat rough, or extremely rough, depending on the day. Also the wait times are ridiculous, and the workers, while working hard, just seem to be so slow! Because of those negatives, it just becomes a good ride. It's definitely one you have to ride at least once. Oh another annoying part is that you will be hearing X,X, X...2, 2, 2 the entire day.

One word, Knott's. We went during the slow season, and everything was either closed, or a delayed one train dispatch. They would wait for about five minutes to dispatch, after you were already buckled in, and even with people in line. Lot's of people yelling and threatening each other, including a few cast members. It was a few years ago.

You lucked out with X2. My wife and I were there from about 10:30-12:30. We were about 4 groups back on X2 when it broke down. It was over an hour before they let people on, and it was only one train. But it did run pretty good today, not as jerky as my last visit in September. We also rode Terminator, and it also ran very well (like always).

I'm not the Mod Joey from above, but I just saw Asimo (Honda's Robot) at Innoventions in DLR, and I was very impressed. It' was pretty cool. I do like those rc cars that go about 50+.

I do love cliff jumping. Best place I have found is Lake Powell in Utah. It has Grand Canyon style cliffs, and water goes down forever. It's perfect. Now for something completely off topic, tell Giovani his chocolate covered oreos were perfect!

Hmmm, I wonder about the answers now! -
^I thought this forum was PG-13? I have no clue what that is, maybe a pool float on the lane lines (I know that is a really really horrible guess).

I know Giovanni loves them! I'll have to give them a listen, but the fact that they were even remotely compared to High School Musical gives them massive negative starting points.

I would definitely be one of those idiot adults who would buy a bunch of their crap. That would be so cool if they came to one of the parks. -
24 Days of Theme Park Review Videos!

Awesome video! I can't wait for the DVD. Hey, maybe you could do it Build A Bear style. We could visit your apartment and burn our own disc, insert the cover in the DVD case, print the label on the DVD, and close it all up! Just like Build A Bear! It's too bad I never made it out to Astroworld. Thanks for the sneak preview! -
Most Overrated coaster?

The drops just weren't steep enough, and the air time wasn't really there. -
How did you end up here???

About three years ago I was trying to find information on japanese amusement parks for an upcoming trip. I searched online and found this awesome trip report which even included to travel information! It was absolutely perfect, and answered every single question I had! The information was incredibly useful, and I've been hooked since then. And then I found the store and had to get all the videos to see what I had been missing all these years. -

Stell Dragon 2000. It's weird. It has the makings of a great ride, but just doesn't get it quite right. -

That's incredible. The most for me is 4, but that's at Disneyworld so it doesn't count at all. Wish I would've been on that trip!
