What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
DoinItForTheFame replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Outlaw Run.. Yesterday... Yesterday was also my first time riding Outlaw Run.... and all I can say is ... It is amazing. Words can not express how awesome this coaster actually is. -
WOW! I never realized how awesome this park looks! Deep Water Dive looks like it would be a blast!! Fear-Fall would be fun, and Lighting Run looks like a blast! It's great to finally see riders enjoying Lighting Run!

[PC/RCT3] Valley Hills

You are doing such a great job with this park!!! I can't wait to see the 2 new coasters up and running!!! And I really can not wait to see what replaces Déjà Vu in a few years! -
WHAT A DAY!!! So after processing our seasons passes we finally made it into the park around 11am. We headed straight back to Outlaw run. We waited 33 minutes (running 2 trains, and doing great on dispatches) for the back row. With this being our first ride... we were BLOWN AWAY!!! Obviously we have heard amazing things about Outlaw run, but there is a huge difference in hearing how amazing a ride is, and actually experiencing it. Words can not explain how amazing this ride is! It has taken Number 1 on my coaster list!! It even beats NTG, and IR. After Outlaw Run we headed over to Giant Barn Swing, considering it is right next door. We waited about 15 minutes, and my partner was blown away! He had never been on an S&S screamin' swing, and he loved it! I was spoiled by Skyhawk at CP so to me it was meh, a little tame, but still fun!! After Giant Barn Swing we headed over to Powder Keg. Powder Keg was a 15 minutes all together for the front row. (They were running all 3 trains, and doing a great job at dispatching!!) Powder Keg is still as amazing as always!!! The launch is fun, and the turn after the final drop was amazing! After Powder Keg we headed over to Wildfire. We had a one train wait for the front row. (They were running 2 trains, and again doing great on dispatching.) However Wildfire was running a bit rough today. I remember when it opened it was as smooth as glasses... It has become much more rough over time. After Wildfire we headed to the front of the park for the Marvel Cave tour at 1:00pm. Being my first time doing this... It was AMAZING!!! Simply beautiful! Not sure it is something I would do again though. WAY to much walking, and way to many stairs for me! After Marvel Cave we headed for Thunderation... which was down. So we decided to eat instead!! We had some AMAZING ham skillet meal! LOVED IT!!! Thunderation opened, so we headed over for a 1 train wait. (They were running 2 trains!) Sadly they were not running any cars backwards any more. Is this new? Or do they just not do it any more? Still a fun ride though!! VERY forceful in the tunnel after the helix! After Thunderation we had some more lunch, a smoked sausage sandwich thing. Really really good! Then BACK to Outlaw Run! However the line was backed up about 300ft OUT of the que line. To our shock it ended up being a 40 minute wait... With some downtime. We were expecting a much longer wait. After Outlaw Run we garbed one more ride On Giant Barn Swing, waited about 3 minutes! Then headed over to Grand Fathers Mansion ... What a fun little house! Loved the slanted room! Over to The Flooded Mine. Waited about 5 minutes. What a nice shooting ride! I managed to score 104,800! Then headed home. It was a BEAUTIFUL day at the park. The weather was perfect, but the crowds were REALLY heavy. We were amazed by just how many people were there! On a side note... I am NOT a fan of the shin guards on Outlaw Run. Made me feel VERY uncomfortable. Maybe its just by build, but they were almost painful. But still a great ride! All in all a fantastic trip, and we can NOT wait to go back.

Horrible Park Operations
DoinItForTheFame replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
HANDS DOWN!!!! ... Magic Springs. I have NEVER in my life been so disgusted with a theme parks operations. Keep in mind this trip by best friend had driven 6 hours to get to me, and then we drove another 3 hours to get to the park, and I was taking my partner for the first time. Neither of them had EVER been to Magic Springs, and I had done nothing but talk about how fun X-Coaster was, and how friendly the staff was. Holy Sh!t was I proved wrong. We arrived at the park shortly after 11am. We headed straight for X-Coaster... It was down. . . Disappointed we headed over to "The Gauntlet" ... We waited about 45 minutes... Which is a LOT in Magic Springs world. Usually your wait time is one train wait. We were next to get on when... Go figure the ride broke down. After about 20 minutes we asked the ride attendant if they had any idea how much longer the down time would be. The response we get with of course the ghetto attitude "I don't know. That's not my job. We don't even know what's wrong with dis thang." She then proceeded to go sit down in the train, and text. Hot and annoyed we headed back to X- Coaster which was open, had a great ride, and then went to get some lunch. We waited 45 minutes... I kid you not (I checked the time I was texting on my phone) There was 1 family of 4 in front of us who was trying to get a refund because they were charged twice for something. We FINALLY got to the window. My friend went first and ordered a bottle of water. 6 minutes later the employee returned with her debit card, after disappearing from view. Livid I refused to order anything and waste any more time. We headed over to Arkansas Twister... What a mistake. They were dispatching in 5 minute interclass. Why? The ride attendants were not paying attention to the empty train in the station. By this time it was about 5pm, and I was beyond livid. I went to guest relations?? There was a line with about 50 people in it wanting to complain. I gave up, we left... and I was BEYOND embarrassed... I did nothing but talk highly of the park, and they did nothing but disappoint. Should have went to Silver Dollar City for Outlaw Run instead. NEVER going back to Magic Springs. EVER. -
In no specific order... - "Born This Way" - Lady Gaga - "Edge of Glory" - Lady Gaga - "Amazed" - Lone Star (mine and my partners song) - "Let It Go" - Frozen soundtrack - "Applause" - Lady Gaga - "Gypsy" - Lady Gaga - "Fame" - Lady Gaga - "Bad Romance" - Lady Gaga - "Monster" - Lady Gaga - "Teeth" - Lady Gaga .... I see a trend here.
