^^ Saw a poster for Total Darkness while at the park today. These blackout mazes are really intense and provide some pretty good illusions if done right. It looks as if the park is up to 4 mazes this year( saw the posters for the other three haunts)! I was definitely a fan of Blind Fury last year, being pretty long for a new attraction.

I believe I saw somewhere that it was a problem with the clearance between the seats when the trains flex to begin a steep drop. Makes sense to me, but not sure of it is true or not.

What about after the helix, in place of the double up?

Good theming and the lap bar cars would be best, imagine all the possibilities with the hillside near the Ninja(where the corkscrews are now)! Although, it would be great to get a Giant Frisbee in the place of Xcalibur, which is down every time I visit.

SkyScreamer- 34x

I'd like to know more about this! So would I! I'm not sure you would get in trouble exactly, but maybe if you said, "TTD is the best coaster in the world!"

1. Raptor 2. Montu 3. Batman Clones 4. Dragon Challenge Blue ( God I hate this name)

Now, why would a ride with a system that is unable to right the cars have rules on the ride ops NOT to right the cars? Potential safety hazards with moving vehicles?

What?!?!?!

What about Boomerang, Screamin Eagle, and Mr Freeze? It's only enforced on 5 roller coasters( American Thunder, Batman, Boss, Mine Train, and Pandemonium).

If you have a trackpad with the two finger right click turned on (you can change it in System Preferences --> Trackpad --> Point and Click --> Secondary Click), then you can just click with two fingers and drag. If you have one of the corners activated for right click, then you hold down that corner with one finger and drag with another. If you're using the Magic Mouse, click and hold with two fingers, then move the mouse. Figured it out finally! Except I had to reinstall mountain lion as none of the gestures would work( even though I turned them on). Thanks!

SheiKra at BGT for my first Dive Machine!

There's probably some extremely simple way of doing this, but I can't find a way to pan the editor screen without using the scroll bars on the latest mac version? I remember in the windows version you could drag the view, but just getting a new mac, I am lost...

I remember there used to be more airtime on the drops than what I experience now. It seems like the MCBR slows it down even more, too.

^ That is awesome...

^ I'm pretty sure it hasn't been closed too long... It was running all day today with fairly fast dispatches. Today was the first time I rode Boomerang, and am pretty pleased with how the park fixed this up. The neon colors really liven up that area of the park which looked worn down before. The queue line moved fast for a ride running 1 train. The ride ops do call down the stairs into the line for single riders which was nice, and the station looks really good! The overall ride was great with some hangtime in the cobra roll, and smoothness all around. The only "rough" part is when the train catches on the chain for the second hill, but it's not really bad. The grass in the middle of the ride looks great, compared to the concrete or dirt that I thought would be there. The park was not packed at all today, with the longest wait being 10 mins for Boomerang.

I just checked this a few hours ago! I'm wondering which game will be done first, this or TPS? I know TPS is delayed until January of 2014 as of now. Hmm...

Bizarro?? Not really sure.

Any Intamin LSM, and brakes on an Intamin 2nd gen. tower.

Went to the park today for the first time in 6-7 years, and had a great time. If you purchase your tickets online, you'll receive the all day dining pass for "free" ( the ticket prices have jumped dramatically since I was there last). The food was much better than most theme parks, and you get unlimited times through the food queue all day. Here's what we ordered at the Colony Cafe: Now for the rides- Cheetah Hunt-3x This was our first ride of the day and surprised me so much. This might be the smoothest ride at Busch Gardens, except for Sheikra. I have to say, I love the sound that those Intamin LSM launches make. There is some good airtime in the front and back rows, especially on the climb up the tower and camel back after the third launch. This is a great family addition with a somewhat low height requirement (48 in.). Scorpion-1x Went on this last time I was here, and don't remembering it having only 1 train, but the ride op told me that's all they had. The back car had great laterals coming down the first drop and last helix. Pirates 4D-1x Biggest disappointment... What they don't tell you is that lots of seats don't have the 4D effects, and most of the video is not 3D. Only went here to escape the thunderstorms, would probably never go back in that attraction. Phoenix-1x This ride just hurts. While the lap bar is locking and unlocking it pulls down very hard into a sensitive area for males. They only let us go around 1 full time before slowing down. Montu-1x Had no line whatsoever at 6 PM. I'm definitely a fan of the more compact B&M inverts, but this was smooth and fun. Sheikra-1x Got in line right after a thunderstorm as was in the front row for the first car of the afternoon. I was definitely expecting a more intense drop, while the most nerve-wrecking part was the steep ascent. Very smooth and has a pretty high capacity. The only negative thing I can say is that the mid-course brake kills the mood for the second drop. Kumba-1x This reminds me of a toned-down Montu with a floor. I can definitely tell a B&M rattle is forming when the ride picks up speed. The highlight of this ride is the sudden dive into the tunnel. Sand Serpent-1x Horrible capacity... We waited 30 mins to move 20 feet, but it's still somewhat quirky and fun. Stanley Falls-1x I did not get wet at all, but noticed that the corners after the first drop are very rough and worn. The rides were all great fun, my favorites being Sheikra and Cheetah Hunt. Other chains need to look at this park( lockers are $.50, and the food was great!). I will definitely be visiting in the future to check out Falcon's Fury in the Timbuktu themed area!

Nope, those have the best and most intense drop!

May be heading to the park sometime next week, anyone have advice for what to do besides the major rides?
