  1. Here is a pov of Superman VR. Wait times appear to be atrocious, the app says Superman has a 105 minute wait and Pandemonium has a 15 minute wait.
  2. BD is running pretty well but not as good as last year. The green train was running Sunday and felt like it had some work done on it. The only bad part is the middle of the triple up but I was told it should be fixed soon. But yeah BD is an amazing ride. My favorite seat is the front although the airtime is awesome in 6-1. I like it slightly better than El Toro.
  3. I believe they were shooting footage for a commercial earlier today which is probably why it was closed. Yes it would be nice for the park to communicate ride closures more. I was able to choose seats when I went on the first day of the new station arrangement. The employees were trying to fill rows up and I felt like they were trying to make people not wait for the front. Once VR starts, they may assign seats but who knows. I think the station setup is just to make room for the headset areas not necessarily assigned seating.
  4. Last year it started vibrating around this time, there isn't that much slow down but the ride definitely goes slower and is much louder. The beginning of this year, it was running like it did at opening last year. (fast, smooth, quiet) Now it is doing the vibrating thing and will likely get worse as the season goes on. It amazes me why they can't keep this ride running like it was at opening this year. It is such an awesome ride but I would rather not have a foot massage while riding a coaster.
  5. I find every seat to be terrible on that ride. Easily the worst coaster I have been on. It is a shame, because it was my second favorite ride there at one point. The front row is slightly tolerable going forwards but going backwards and every other row is awful and is full of jack hammering. I can't believe they actually have people ride it every day.
  6. Sunday may be the best day, but it really depends on the weather. Pass holders can bring a friend free on any Monday and Tuesday so those days usually have more of a crowd than they used to. Also Sunday has a better chance of two train operations.
  7. Looks like SFNE is on track to get that golden ticket back! (not) They were making people fill in seats and kept saying no waiting for the front. Completely insane. Also Cyclone was loud and ran like crap like the second half of last year.
  8. They definitely go faster than that now. I went on them during holiday lights and I was flying all over the place. They aren't the best but they aren't bad.
  9. Batman definitely gave a rough ride on opening day for me, it is usually very smooth. Usually the last corkscrew is the only slightly rough part but there were multiple parts that were not B&M like. It is the other way around with the Goliath train for most people, but glad you enjoyed it. I saw that the camera on Cyclone was going off when the train was coming out of the first roll occasionally so there is probably a problem with the sensor.
  10. Sooo... can anyone think of a coaster that has a better sign than this? Definitely one of the best!
  11. Here are some pics of Fireball, I love how it looks and it's cool that they made the loading platform ground level. And here is one of Rockin Rodeo. It was pretty tame and had very small seats but it had some decent forces. It doesn't tilt though which I feel like It would be better if it did.
  12. Yeah on media day it did screech a little through the rolls but didn't affect anything. I really hope it runs like it did today all year, I will be so happy!
  13. I can also say that Wicked Cyclone was completely hauling today, it was quiet, and was glass smooth. If you have only been on it when it was in rattling butt massage mode, you better get out to the park asap before SFNE decides to mess it up again. (hopefully they don't) I was getting ejector airtime on the last hills, it was amazing.
  14. Larry said with the current programming it was not possible to go around twice. Would be cool if they could change it on a not so crowded day.
  15. Here is an update on Phobia! This thing looks crazy awesome in person. Can't wait to ride! Also I think the park has more planned for the future. I have been hearing some interesting rumors about where they might expand next. But an employee said that Phobia is step one of many things to come!
  16. Wow! Looking good! Everything looks good except them not replacing the missing seats, very lazy.
  17. Here is a quick update on the model, worked on the over bank, lift, and station. Next comes adding in the final two support structures, fencing, and more painting.
  18. I think it is funny they couldn't put row 5-2 back even though every other park is able to put the Samsung box on the train without removing any seats. The trains do look good though, wish they would keep the headrests off but they don't look very intrusive.
  19. Assigned seating. Really SFNE? That would make this a bigger flop than Bizarro was. VR doesn't sound like its a temporary thing, although it probably will be after all of them are broken. I still don't get whats stopping someone from pocketing the phone and tossing the strap off the ride. But yeah my LC pass is looking very nice right now. Choice of seat on the best wooden coaster front row at night with Phobia, T&L, and Down Time.
  20. It is probably used if they are planning on re-theming it. There is no way they would buy a new ride with a theme they were not going to use.
  21. It is going to be an amazing addition, I have always wanted one of these at the park. Its compact, thrilling, and the only launch coaster in the area. Should be a real hit, the only thing I am concerned with is capacity, but I have no doubt the park will load the train as fast as possible. I could see another coaster come to the park within the next 5-7 years. I think something like Laff Trackk at Hershey would be a great fit. Or maybe an RMC T-Rex.
  22. This park is such a disaster. Messed up Superman trains, vibrating Wicked Cyclone cars, and a bone-rattling Goliath train. Why does this park have so many issues with their trains?
  23. So yeah, I'm just going to leave this here. Yay for red paint I guess.
  24. I think that is what they are doing. The park said there will be music on the ride but haven't said where. Most likely on the brakes or lift hill. I am guessing more will be known a week from tomorrow on the live chat.
  25. Yeah I thought that was pretty funny, it only happened to me once. It was just some random lady saying left and right every once in a while lol. Really enhanced the ride experience. But I have had the wrong track play multiple times. There were even times where it would play the Led Zeppelin whole lotta love woah coming into the station at full blast and the rest of the track. It was pretty funny.
