So I just got finished my first ever visit to Holiday World and all I’m going to say is I have a new number one woody in Voyage. Thunderbird was also really good. I didn’t really care for the other two woodies though but for what’s its worth I liked the Raven more than the Legend. I almost got the last ride of the night on Voyage but had to settle for the second to last train instead. Still that night ride in the front row in the pitch black was amazing. This park is already on my list of parks I want to return to.
-
So I just finished an amazing visit at the park. Got on all the coasters and rides I wanted to multiple times and even got front rides on Lightning Run and T3. I’m now heading for Holiday World to get some night rides on the coasters. No question I’ll be making a return trip KK again next. This was my third visit to the park overall.

Kentucky Kingdom can definitely be done in a half day provided you do not want to do the water park.
If you can get there at a little before opening, go right to Lightning Run. Even on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, they only ran one train on it. Usually the coaster has a half hour wait for me.
After that, I'd make a loop hitting Kentucky Flyer and T3 on the way to Storm Chaser. The latter usually doesn't have a line because of its location.
Thanks for the info man. As far as I know we’re aren’t going to the water park.

So my friend and I will be taking a trip to the park next weekend along with Holiday World. My friend actually wants to go both parks the same day despit the long drive we’re going to have. So I might as well ask what the crowds are going to like at KK on a Saturday. We’re coming from Chicago so the plan is to leave at 6 am next Saturday even though I tried I’m trying to convince him we should leave Friday afternoon since I’m off work and he only works until 10:30. As for HW we’re only going there to get some night rides on the coasters.

Hello All! It looks like my trip will fall before Maxx Force's opening day (great job as usual Six Flags), on July 8th so I have a few Flashpass questions (I'm going to reserve 2 Gold Flashpass online unless that's not the best way to get one):
Does this park use the shittybands or the Classic Q bot?
Which rides are not worth ever using Flashpass for? I am planning on going straight to the back of the park and Goliath once I pick up from reservation counter, anything that has a higher priority than that?
I am travelling with 3 people total, one is a Six Flags over Georgia Gold Passholder, how much would it cost him and what is the best way to gain admission to the Waterpark?
Thank you all for the help!
I’ll try my best to help you.
1. So the park us using a watch style flash pass device now.
2. American Eagle is really the only ride not worth using flash pass on but that’s because it isn’t on FP.
3. If he has a gold pass holder that gets him into HH for free. Or at least it should.

This is the first time we’re seeing this in North America so unless anyone’s been over seas and ridden any of their other launches coasters you’ve never really heard it before.
Oh yeah, there definitely hasn't been another one in the Midwest for the last 15 years.
There was also HyperSonic XLC which I almost completely forgot about.

^ Alright understood even though I knew that already.
Now that that’s over with here’s a TR from yesterday that I meant to post last night but forgot
So I decided to visit the park yesterday with a friend since I had a bonus BAFF offer. Now I knew the park was going to be busy and sure enough it was. Lucky that didn’t stop us from riding most of the coasters and rides. Goliath, X-Flight and V2 had too long of a line so we didn’t get to ride them as well as the Dark Knight. Joker was closed most of the day as was one of Log flumes(the arrow flume). We were also lucky enough to see Maxx Force test run while riding STT early in the day. It’s still going to be a while before it opens though but it’s just great to see it test run. I’m not sure when I’ll be back to the park but I’d like to to be after Maxx Force opens.
Here are our ride totals
STT: 1x
Whizzer: 1x
Demon: 1x
Lobster: 1x
Triple Play: 1x
Viper: 1x
Giant Drop: 1x
Justice League: 1x
American Eagle: 2x both sides were actually open but not racing. This was the first time in years I’ve seen both dudes open st the same time.
Revolution: 1x
Raging Bull: 1x
Ricochet: 1x
Yankee Clipper: 1x
Batman the Ride: 1x
Roaring Rapids: 1x
Condor: 1x
Superman: 1x

This weeks game for was Street Fighter 2010 the Final Fight on NES. If you haven’t heard of it you should really give it a try. All I’ll say is it has absoutly nothing to do with Street Fighter or Final Fight. Up next will Super Pitfall NES.

Good news Maxx Force has started to test slightly.
-
So I saw Dark Phoenix yesterday and I was not impressed. To me it was just a crappier X-Men the Last Stand. The X-Men and the other mutants that appear are really the only mutants in the entire movie. Now I don’t think it’s the worst X-Men film though(that title belongs to X-Men Apocalypse). Other than that I think this brings a pretty shameful ending to the Fox era but thanks to Disney/Marvel there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

Six Flags Great America in June 7th
-
So the trains for Maxx Force have finally arrived this past week so hopefully testing can start soon. I also finally got to see the coaster in person over the weekend. Whizzer is open now as well.
-
Cliffs either this Wednesday or Thursday.
-
To be honest when Maxx Force was announced I didn’t noticed there were 5 inversions until I realized the 4th was right before the 5th.
-
Looks like I’ll be making a return trip to KI in 2020 now for sure.

I saw detective Pikachu yesterday. The movie wasn't the best it could be if you ask me, but I thought it was a good movie. No my reaction to the "evil plan" was like: "Okay, that's a thing now." No it was pretty weird but I thought to myself it's a video game movie it's okay to be weird at some points, but I was shocked for a couple of minutes.
Not a lot of long action scene's with this being more of a mystery movie that's okay. I also like some character moments. Pokémon Design was just fantastic if you ask me, there where many moments I got excited just because of a Pokémon I saw.
So yeah there where some things I'm still scratching my head over but overall I liked it, it wasn't great but good.
I saw Detective Pikachu recently and I think it’s the best live action video game movie of all. The design of Pokemon looked alright for the most part. The plot was very predictable though and it obvious who the villain was. I felt like it was pretty faithful to the game also which is not something we can say about some of the other movies such as Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter, Double Dragon and Doom. The only other video game movie I know that was faithful to the game is Mortal Kombat(still my favorite video game movie). With that said this movie being successful only puts even more pressure on the Sonic movie.

^ If only SFMM would do the same with WCR.
-
So I just saw a Maxx Force construction update on SFGAmWorld and the coaster is close to being finished. The forth inversion seems to be the last part of the track work and it sounds like that should be done tomorrow.
I think were looking at a first or second weekend in June opening. I’m actually not going to count out a Memorial Day weekend opening either but that’s very slim at this point.
-
^ Oh you did, did ya?
Well, considering we can see Philly's skyline fairly easily from our tall rides at Great Adventure, and that's 52 miles to the southwest, I'm inclined to believe SFSL's claim, considering the arch is only 34 miles away from the park.
Darien Lake on the other hand is three hundred and sixty f*cking miles from Manhattan. Clearly a typo, but a hilarious one at that.
Chicago’s skyline can be seen from the tall rides at Great America also when it’s a clear day and that’s 45 miles or so away. But yeah you got love that typo it’s so Six Flags.
-
So it seems the park has removed the May 24th event for Maxx Force. So a June opening is all but confirmed.

Where’s Waldo on NES. Yes there’s a Where’s Waldo NES game no joke.
