Batman: The Ride - Six Flags Great America

Happens to me all the time. ...you refuse to fly into Salt Lake City's airport because the airline code is SLC.

If anyone's interested, Cedar Point has released the 2016 operating schedule. Opening Day is May 7th. https://www.cedarpoint.com/hours-directions/cedar-point

For me it was Fairly Odd Coaster at Nick Universe.

Valleyfair -Renegade: 0-15 on slow days, 30-60 on busy days. The operations are little slow, and for some reason, they usually don't add on the second train until noon when the line is already fairly long. -Wild Thing: 0-10 on slow days, 20-40 on busy days. Despite being the most popular ride in the park, the lines don't usually get to outrageous lengths since it's a high-capacity ride that almost always runs two trains. -Steel Venom: 0-10 on slow days, 15-30 on busy days. I have never seen the Steel Venom line reach ridiculous lengths despite being a shuttle coaster. My guess is that it intimidates a lot of the GP. -Excalibur: 0-5 minutes every day. Most people don't like this ride, and being the farthest thing from the entrance doesn't help either. -Mad Mouse: 10-20 on slow days, 20-40 on busy days. Low capacity and one of the most popular rides in the park amongst families. -Corkscrew: 0-10 on slow days, 15-30 on slow days. -High Roller: 5-15 on slow days, 20-45 on busy days.

People that invade my personal space in the queue lines. You don't need to stand that close to me because you're not getting on the ride any faster.

^^ Yep, it was very busy yesterday. I went back to the park in the evening, and most of the rides had full queues. I guess that's what I get for going on a Saturday during winter break.

Went to Nickelodeon Universe for a few hours today and had a good time getting in some offseason coaster rides. Took my first ride on Shredder's Mutant Masher, the park's newest ride. Excellent ride. While the arm doesn't swing as high as similar models I've seen, it pulls some decent Gs and has a few airtime pops. Waking down the midway. Fairly Odd Coaster is one of the best family coasters out there in my opinion. Avatar Airbender is always a blast. Near the Ferris wheel. SpongeBob was running much smoother today than when I last rode it. I wish more parks had rides like Shell Shock. FlyOver America construction. SpongeBob looping.

Happy New Year, TPR!

Superman: Ultimate Flight at Six Flags Great America. While the pretzel loop is one of the best coaster elements I've experienced, the ride doesn't do much after that.

1) Goliath 2) Raging Bull 3) Batman: The Ride 4) Viper 5) X-Flight 6) Superman: Ultimate Flight 7) Vertical Velocity 8) American Eagle 9) Demon 10) The Dark Knight Coaster I have not ridden Whizzer or any of the kiddie coasters.

In no particular order, here are ten of my favorite films from this past year. Bridge of Spies The Martian Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation Star Wars: The Force Awakens Kingsman: The Secret Service Steve Jobs Inside Out Creed Ant-Man Jurassic World Least favorite film - Insurgent Biggest disappointment - Avengers: Age of Ultron

Last season they posted the schedule in early February. If it helps, Valleyfair is typically open daily from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day (park opens at 10 am every day), although they might be closed for a private event on the first or second Sunday of June.

...you get excited when you see this at the grocery store.

Facebook comments about Diamondback...

American Eagle at Six Flags Great America. It's pretty easy to forget that this ride is an Intamin because it doesn't fit any of their stereotypes. There were a few okay moments, but for the most part, it's rough and uninteresting.

Granted, but the coaster breaks down right before launch and you're stuck there for hours while they fix it. I wish for 2016 to be better than 2015.

9/10 - I like the quote.
