That sucks that you couldn't use the single rider lines for either but it's been discussed to death on this forum and elsewhere that neither Hagrids nor VC is on express pass and as @teacherkim explained, its not at all unusual for Universal to not add EP to their new attractions for a few years after their debuts. I also didn't know this until just before my first visit last year, but I do tend to do a little research about these things before I visit parks so I planned accordingly (aka visit during a historically slow week and hit those rides early/late in the day to avoid the waits).

This is pretty cool. For a park that generally does large additions fairly often and just opened a giant B&M hyper less than two years ago with a huge expen$ive front entrance renovation (that yes took away all the charm the old entrance had, but that's not my point) I'm not sure why anyone would have been expecting anything earth shattering at Hershey for 2022. The old paint job made Sidewinder one of the ugliest coasters in the park, so all this color will certainly liven up that pocket of the park and at least this boomerang already has the better trains w/ the vests, so this is an all around sweet upgrade imo. Fingers still and forever crossed the next big coaster they are getting is RMC Wildcat.

What? The phrase has been around for ages... I've heard the park is closing the ride and removing it beginning tomorrow. Also heard people make up all kinds of shit and post it on the internet.

Sorry about the pay-cut, enjoy the view and make some friends.

I tried to edit that post to add "mimmicks jerking off" at the end of it but I'm drunk at work (annual team meeting, stfu yall, I'm wearing a tie) and I can't figure out how to add that at the end. Maybe I shouldn't be daytime drunk TPRing.

but

Ahhh this makes total sense. Thanks for the reply and explanation, AJ!

23??!?!?! An absolute travesty. Overall, I'm not mad at all about these results, really baffled that VC ranked so low. I know its because of low ridership, but I feel like all the thoosies I know have been down there and ridden it already and I don't know if I'm just blinded by its sheer brilliance, but it seems most share my opinion that its one of the best of all time. Wasn't Vengeance super high on its debut year? I'm not doubting the math behind this, its just wild to me that it didn't even crack the top 10, let alone the top 20. Otherwise, it's nice to see Skyrush still kicking ass and taking names. It's so f*cking good and rightfully deserves its high placement in these results year after year. And I LOVE that Maverick beat out Vengeance on the Steel AND overall lists, as it should. Thanks, as always, for putting this together every year!

Did you think they were going to remove it? Like how CP is removing Dragster?

Ride legit smelled like garbage.

Whew, glad I got that credit before they scrapped that roller coaster.

This doesn't seem good. more: https://www.nj.com/news/2022/02/american-dream-nearly-depletes-reserves-to-make-92m-bond-payment.html

It's kind of impressive that they've just given up on erecting a coaster they already own.

Moreys shared a few of Surfside Pier covered in the white stuff today.

I was thinking "Mah-Too-Gah-Knee". Alternately, you can just call it "The Intamin Launch Coaster From Europe".

Here's to hoping they kept the soft straps Kanonen got a few years before its closure. Hard to tell, but looks like they did.

Apparently Cheetah Hunt got stuck at the top of the "tree" today. Photos going around social media if you know where to look.

Looks awesome! Bonus points for the simple fact its going to piss off/freak out bunch of people off that are too fragile to handle any kind of change ever.

They're both multi-launch coasters with top hats and twisty layouts, both right next to the water, installed at the same time, opened not even a year apart and they're less than 10 minutes down the street from each other. I don't know if there is a more fair pair of coasters to compare outside of Skyrush/Candymonium.

Kumba says hi.

Nice report, Kraken looks great!
