SDC This coming Saturday. We bought our Season Passes, and Season Trailblazer passes. Can't wait to break them in!!

How about this one?? #NoFilter (At least no filter according to Cedar Point.) From Cedar Points Facebook.

Love this photo!!! (From CP's Twitter!) Here come the: "But the second drop isn't vertical" complaints.

I would say I'm surprised. . . But I mean it is Six Flags. As sh*tty as they already are, why not add a little more??

Griffon!! Managed to get in 23 rides on it today!!!

Except every morning... Lol. Truth. Or every other day when someone catches it on the webcam and shares a screenshot of it.

Same.

El Toro No. Not even close. I love El Toro but it's not butter smooth. It's smooth but not Fury smooth. Look, Fury may be smooth, but it will never be Mean Streak smooth. Very few coasters can ever be as smooth as Mean Streak. Son Of Beast says "Hi!" By far the smoothest coaster ever made!

This is probably what I am most excited for this year in Branson. "Bigfoot" looks to be a fun addition to the strip, and I know we will be sure to visit it a few times this year!

#OffSeasonProbs

Same. All 3 trains out and about on Valravn!

^ Looks like a great addition to the park!! I love the colors, and the setting of the ride! Can't wait to try it out during my next visit.

So good to see the park coming back to life!! Can't wait for our visit this season!!

Thanks

No, they actually have a very lenient rain policy. I've never see them shut a ride down for rain besides the Go Karts and I've been there in steady rain on more than one occasion (recently). They might close rides in heavy rain though and part of me feels like Avalanche might have problems with rain and I've just never noticed. Sometimes Bobsleds do so I'm just guessing. Ricochet may also but last time we were there we rode it in a light rain. Awesome, thanks!! Makes me a little less stressed about the visit!

So, for those who are more familiar with BGW than I am, what is their rain policy like?? It's suppose to have "Showers" the entire day I'm there.

For those more familiar with KD than myself, what is KD's rain policy like?? Is it as bad as Cedar Points??

Same.

Wonder what they had to do to break the block to get both of them up there at the same time. Normally the computer wouldn't allow two trains in a block at once. I would think there is an extra block there. One at the station, one at the top of the lift, one before the holding break, MCBR, break run, transfer table. Just my guess. You are correct. There are two blocks at the top of Valravn. One at the crest of the lift hill, and one right before the holding brake. Regardless, it was really weird to see two trains up there at once!

I too am a little surprised by some of these results. I don't think the "B&M Rattle" is an issue... most of the time!

She's going down!!!

^ Could be something as simple as E-Stop testing. . . Just making sure that if there is an emergency that the E-Stop functions the way it should. Edit: Also, looking at the flags it seems a little windy at the park. If it's that windy on the ground, it might be a little to windy for Gatekeeper to be running, so it shut down during testing. (Not sure how sensitive Gatekeeper is to wind) just a guess thought.

Fetch.

Basically.
