^Me too. It was there for a few weeks. There was a video making the rounds on FB last month of a gritty POV from RMT where the woman seated ahead of the cameraman lost her weave by the end of the ride. Pretty great. There has also been a weave on the handrails of one of Toro's camelbacks for a good chunk of this season, not sure if its still there. I hope it is, it gives it more character than the Jersey Boys ad ever did. I'm gonna start calling the park Six Flags Weave Adventure.

I really enjoyed this report, Silver Dollar City looks awesome and the other two parks are pretty low on my radar so it was nice to learn a little bit more about all three. While I know of the Ninjas @ Magic Mountain and SFOG (I rode that Ninja when it was Kamikaze in Jersey), I had no idea there was another Ninja @ St Louis, I pulled up the POV and... WTF is that thing?? Looks like hell on wheels. -

If you don't like beer, then when you get older don't drink it. No reason to rain on everyone else's parade. People like you are why people like me drink beer. lol THIS. I didn't think there were many things more fun than riding coasters until I started riding coasters with a good buzz on. That old bumpy woodie becomes the greatest thing since sliced bread. (come to think of it this may be why I'm not as harsh as most posters on here when it comes to coaster reviews LOL) -

we couldn't find a good coaster magnet, but did pick up one they have of the Ferris Wheel. . the not only rotates, but the individual cars spin too. . we love it. Thank you. I was hoping my question didn't get sucked into Restraintgate, the Revenge. -
Physically? Not intense at all. On a mental level? If you have a fear of heights I'd say very intense. The drop is looooong yet somehow almost floaty compared to other drop towers. I can't say it really gives me any noticeable or significant airtime. Demon Drop and even Dominator @ Dorney are both more intense in terms of force and airtime. But overall Zumanjaro is great, a definite 'must-do', and personally my favorite ride in the park after Toro and Nitro. I love taking people on who are reluctant to ride. The views are incredible and the mindf*ck of being that high is really something else.

Can anyone tell me if Hershey sells magnet for their coasters? And if so best place to look for them? I'm always on a mission for magnets. -

Off ride footage should be a clue - most times everyone on the train is hanging on. The only reason its not my number one is that I can't possibly ride it with abandon. I try, but I have to hang on. It's in good company right behind Maverick and El Toro though. -
I am typically a glass-half-full type of person and honestly, whatever we get, it feels like it's going to be something big and while it may not be what I want (if it is a 4D) I know that any new ride will pull crowds from my old favorites which is a win-win at the end of the day. Related (or not), this photo started floating around Facebook today. I figured I'd post it here to keep this thread fired up.
