http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/home-and-family/recipes/dollywoods-cinnamon-bread Have you ever had cookies made by your grandma? And when you tried using her recipe, it just wasn't the same? I fear that would be the case here. -

What determines a ride's sincerity?

I went to HHN last year on a Friday and primarily focused on the scare zones/rides/Academy of Villains due to maze waits. I intended to catch Bill & Ted, but I couldn't see that there was a different schedule for Friday night vs Saturday night. I hate conga-lining though a haunt. Whether it's going through one or working one. Not everyone gets all the scares, and then it's not personal. Speaking of which, I've always thought that the Saw franchise would work better as an escape game rather than a maze/scarezone. Saw will rely too much on Billy/the Pig Masks/jump scares from those in the traps and lose all meaning that the last 3 films did when they focused on Hoffman.

FL Busch Parks or Bust

Strangely you can't buy this ticket online but they'll sell them at the park. I don't remember the price but the Black Friday deal might make it cheaper to just buy a one day pass to each park individually. You can also just buy individual ride tickets but considering you'll want to ride both coasters at both parks you might as well go this route. Try out the Go Kart tracks in Kissimee. They're really solid. Both parks also have S&S Screaming Swings that are included on the wristband and I know that's music to your ears. Fun Spot Orlando has the best Paratrooper in the entire god damn world but given your disdain for spinning rides I doubt you'll care. When I did the 2-park, 1-day ticket back in March, I believe it was around $60 (if that helps at all). You could also just ask them on social media. I will also echo every positive thing Bill said about the Fun Spots as they offer damn fine Kool-Aid. So don't skimp on Fun Spot time. Oh, and don't the Fun Spot parks have a refillable souvenir beer bottle? -

^It seems like a combination of: --They've been at traveling carnivals for years and especially GP are upset that a carnival ride at every other county and state fair is now at their park instead of a brand, spanking new B&M/RMC/Intamin/etc. --Six Flags has marketed them as Coasters; which has triggered many an enthusiast without end. --There is extremely little that people do not complain about. -
^Delicious. And the perfect last meal before heading to college.

Those are completely different rides. Rotoshake spins as it rotates where as the new ride in Canada only flips upside down in a similar manner as a super loop Nickelodeon Universe killed the theming of Mighty Axe--one of my first inverting flats and now CW is adding an axe themed ride with the same motion as our new attraction. It's nostalgia for the theming more than anything..
