Make sure that there's someone heavier than you in the outside seat, though. Just about any row is bearable and quite nice if you put the hopes ire person on the outside. It makes the world of a difference. If you're in the row by yourself ride in the outside seat. I rode front row inside seat by myself and it was terrible. Outside was good. General rule: heavier person on the outside.

LL:DOD.

If its a dueling coaster still, then maybe we will see six train operation again like in the old days! But seriously, the right side of Colossus hasn't been run for over a year. Since November 2011. The left side has been running ever since. They only have three trains that they can operate at the moment, though, and one is freshly refurbed. It also sounds like if this Colossus refurb is true, then I guess we will have to say goodbye to Colossus Backwards. Unless they run Iron Colossus backwards. That would be interesting.

So why weren't they smart enough to have someone outside directing people to the center inside the park? That just seems so dumb to have one center with a huge line, and another with none at all? It's as simple as a phone call from one center to the other "How busy are you guys? Not at all? Sending people your way!" I think they were taking groups of people from the big line in the plaza into the park through the old gate which is now a backstage gate to the processing center inside the park.

^That isn't an option this year. And also, IT SAYS ON BOTH THE PRINTOUT PAGE AND THE RECEIPTS FROM THE TICKET BOOTHS THAT THE PASSES CAN BE PROCESSED ANY DAY UP UNTIL JANUARY 27th! It said this on my receipt from my pass that I purchased on 12/16. So it wasn't suddenly extended, and if it was, it was a long time ago. They should've been clearer about this and told people not to wait u Til 1/27 (or 1/6) to process. A couple people in my family still need to process and we are going to try next Sunday.

^Yesterday, I heard they only had the one processing center open and there were reported waits up to 3 hours. Today they had both processing centers open and the line was still insane. The employees at the entrance to the line were guessing 3.5 hours, but I heard it took about 90 minutes from some people, which I could believe a little more. On December 16th, I got my pass in 5 minutes... Oh hey, look what job is open! Looks like they need to hire more..

Doesn't sound true if you ask me. Maybe the last turn of the ride where the supports are kinda near the work site? I have no idea, but if they do close it would be a good idea to do it now since its not a busy time. Oh yeah, the Tatsu crew was doing awesome, at least more than usual. They actually were trying to beat the timer and there was usually only 10 seconds of stacking. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Rides running 1 train: Riddler's Revenge Colossus Batman Rides running 1 train due to maintenance: Riddler's Revenge Rides running 1 train due to Six Flags not wanting to put the work in to taking the second train off the transfer and making you stare at it knowing that your very slow moving line could be much shorter and faster if they just took that second train off the transfer: Colossus (This ride is far too long and popular to only run one train and you have another functional train waiting, which they have. 2 actually!) Batman Actually a pretty short list. Rides running two trains: Goliath Lex Luthor (both sides) Scream Green Lantern (4 cars) Apocalypse Tatsu Revolution Ninja Viper X2 That's quite a long list. I'm proud of them! Usually 2 or more of these on the third list are on the second list. Closed rides: Superman Gold Rusher Due to construction. Not a big deal. Hopefully they get the left side of Superman operational again. (lLast time I rode, only the right side was open and the left side had a rad tag attached to it saying "Do Not Operate". Before this, the left side was having some trouble, specifically with the pull into the station at the end of the ride.

Just got back from the park. Longest wait is season pass processing with 3 1/2 hours of waiting. X2 and Tatsu were both walk-on for me. Got there at 1 and left at 3:45 and got on everything except Riddler and Colossus. Really really REALLY dead day at the park. The processing line takes up the entire entrance plaza and actually made the open up the other processing center in the old Flashback queue building.

Andy Shine's Quiz Time
SFMMGeek27 replied to Simon Baynham's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
10/26. Not too terrible considering I've never been to Amy parks on the East Coast before. Or anywhere else at that. -
Thats what I said! All the rides had decent lines! Tatsu had almost a full queue, X2 was an hour all day, Colossus had a rather long line as well. It didn't help that Lex Luthor didn't open until 4:30 due to high wind and Superman and Gold Rusher being closed as well. I'm guessing that there were a lot of drop-offs today. There were lots of teens. And yes, I did hear one yelling "YOLO" (no joke!)
-
Correct. I was in e line this morning and got in at 10:20 sharp. 3 people there scanning passes. Pretty awesome. Not too many Gold holders, either. Maybe 100 people. But everyone got in quickly. I was over at Goliath at 10:25 and I was able to get on while all the regular guests were still outside park gates! It's a good head start.

Jet Stream opened at 11:30 every day this summer. At least that I saw. I'm gonna head down to the park around noon today to try and get some rides in. Hope it isn't too crowded. I rode eye rethink but Tatsu and Colossus on Monday and I was only there for 4 hours. Hoping for a day just as good if not better than Monday today. I was the last one on Apocalypse in 2012. Just to prove that the world didn't end, and if it did, I would be the last one to die.
