Been feeling like some good old acid rock today.

^ Excellent! Yeah, I think the hate for Excalibur is a bit inflated. It's not a great ride, but it's far from horrible--it's actually pretty fun. Renegade was my favourite there too. Glad you're enjoying Valleyfair!

YES! Food and wine time! Everything looks so good, especially the pizza and the chocolate cannolli.

Please don't bother this man or the park with this. They aren't going to change anything based on an enthusiasts requests. He may do the designing, but the park has the final say on what they are willing to pay for. I'm sure if the park wanted it longer, they would have asked for it. Seriously... Just... DONT! Repeat after me... There. Is. Nothing. Wrong. With. Twisted. Cyclone's. Length. It's. Going. To. Be. A. Kick. A$&. Ride!!! Absolutely agreed. When are enthusiasts going to figure out that even the shortest RMC is a world-class kick-ass ride? I swear it seems sometimes "enthusiasts" actually hate riding roller coasters....

I'm so jealous that you don't remember November 9, 2016. Because that day drastically effected your life so much. You still live in a free country where you post in a themepark forum every day. No, my parents having sex effected my life. Pretty similar origin story to yours, I would guess.

Yeah, it looked really cool to me, and the candy overload is just so appropriate at Hersheypark. But then I thought "that's the same price as a beer" and got a beer instead.

Love the Mean Streak Henry in the first aid station, that's hilarious. "This is how you identify a man in need of medical help."

Congratulations! You totally deserve it.

I'm so jealous that you don't remember November 9, 2016.

^ I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave. When I'm riding the Beast, it'll be too dark to see.

King Chaos is a Top Spin in the Mardi Gras section of the park. It's to the left of the entrance, near the front.

http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/home-and-family/recipes/dollywoods-cinnamon-bread Have you ever had cookies made by your grandma? And when you tried using her recipe, it just wasn't the same? I fear that would be the case here. You're probably right. I'll just have to get some cinnamon bread at SDC this weekend. Damn.

Eh, if I found myself at this park for some reason I'd give this ride a chance.

Same. The majority of (non-enthusiast) people I mention I'm going to other SF Parks have no idea there are other SF parks elsewhere. When I say Six Flags they automatically think I'm only referring to Great Adventure. A common question is "are they all the same rides at other SF parks as they have @ Great Adv?" I wish we had El Toro and Nitro in St. Louis! But yeah, same here. The only time I specify Six Flags St. Louis is on this board or when I'm traveling. Otherwise we all call it just Six Flags, and everyone knows what you're taking about. Back in 2004 I was visiting a friend in San Antonio who had BAFF passes and wanted to take me to Fiesta Texas. My initial thought back then was "We have one of those in Missouri, why don't we do something we can't do at home?" He assured me Fiesta Texas was different from SFStL, and of course was right. That was when I realized that going to a theme park outside your local area is a thing that you can do.

I think I found that guy!

This is highly unlikely. No, it would be the most Six Flags thing they could possibly do.

This year I rode these debuting rides: Drop Line, Dollywood Whistle Punk Chaser, Dollywood Firecracker, Holiday World Spinsanity, Six Flags St. Louis Justice League, Six Flags Great Adventure Hydrus, Casino Pier Gale Force, Playland's Castaway Cove Hershey's Triple Tower, Hersheypark Denied: Lightning Rod, Dollywood Over the Top, Knoebels

You keep giving me more reasons to go to Vancouver, and yet the city stays stubbornly far away from me and difficult to get to. Yes! That was great. The movie was silly fun, just what I expected from it. I love a superhero movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. Reminds me of when I was younger and everything didn't have to be dark and gritty.

Enjoy Roger Waters. I'm jealous. Yeah, if you don't make it this year, they'll still be around next year. Glad he's recovering, at whatever speed that happens.

All the gum and hair bands on Eagle's station are just there to remind you you're at Six Flags.

This. When I went for my maiden visit last month, upon arriving I said to myself "This is the place everyone goes crazy for?" Fast forward a few hours, and I was grinning like a kid in a candy store, trying to think of how I can get back ASAP. I went for the first time about 3 weeks ago, and this was my reaction exactly too.

I would love for them to keep the Troika with the same name. Please, Six Flags, do this.

It's 10 stories tall, so it counts as 10 credits.

I honestly think after the RMCs, this is the best addition in the chain.
