Well we are checked into our first hotel of the trip after a few hours at Six Flags. It was dark and gloomy and we got a few showers. Not good for taking pictures so none in this update. Before I go on to my thoughts of the park, our plan is to go to the park again tomorrow morning until about 1 in the afternoon then heading to worlds of fun. This is depending on the weather. Not looking good right now. So anyways, this park was really a pleasant surprise! Good rides, fantastic operations, friendly staff, well kept, and beautiful park all around. American thunder was very smooth and just what you expect from a GCI. Mr. Freeze was tons of fun. Can't wait for more rides on this. Screaming Eagle was a ton of fun too. Great speed. Scorecard for the day: American Thunder: 2x Mr Freeze: 1x Screaming Eagle: 1x Superman Tower of Power: 1x Batman: 1x Ninja: 1x (never again) Mine train: 1x Pandemonium: 1x Lots of fun in a few hours at the park. Very impressed. Now off to bed. It's been a long day!

Hello all, tomorrow we are leaving for our annual coaster vacation. This year's includes 3 new parks (all 3 parks in Missouri) and 3 more we visit yearly. The schedule is as follows: August 5th: Drive from Cleveland to SFSL. Enjoy the park until closing. August 6th: Go back to Six Flags for a little while then head out to Worlds of Fun. Enjoy WoF for the rest of the evening. August 7th: WoF all day, probably Oceans of Fun too. August 8th: WoF in the morning then head down to Branson. Enjoy Branson the rest of the day. August 9th and 10th: All day at Silver Dollar City (the highlight of the trip to me) August 11th: Long day. Drive to St. Louis. Enjoy SFSL for a little while. Drive part of the way to Holiday World. Stopping for the evening in Mount Vernon Illinois. August 12th: Finish drive to HW and enjoy the park all day. August 13th: Drive to Kentucky Kingdom. Enjoy the park the remainder of the day with the awesome out of state discount. Drive to Kings Island after. August 14th: Kings Island all day then return home. It is quite the trip but there's a lot of credits and awesome coasters to ride! I will try to post a trip report from each park each day when we return to the park including some pictures. The parks all have relatively early closing times so typing up a report before bed shouldn't be too hard.

I remember doing this at KI a couple years ago but I would call the park just to be sure. -

If the park is still open till 11 that night then it will likely be very busy. But with Bill's approach a couple posts up, you should be able to do the whole park no problem. -

My fault. I meant a set of Larson flyers. Should've specified. -

Do they have flying aces? If not, that gets my vote. -

Enjoying the report so far. Can't wait to see the rest! -
With my very limited experience at the park, I would say that the park will be very crowded but ride lines will remain virtually nonexistent. I haven't been there since Invadr was built but I imagine that holds some bit of a line. Other than that you're probably looking at walk-ons. Maybe verbolten and tempesto will have lines of 10-15 minutes.

Yes, Jim Reid Anderson has a magaical powder that will cure all the operational issues chain wide. But wait! Call now and order a season pass and your home park will receive for the 2018 season a RMC giga aquatrax. Dude, you're wrong. Everybody knows that the RMC Giga Aquatrax is coming in the 2019 season. I think it's opening this year -
