Funny too, everyone's faces have smiles and everyone's hands are up...it's all genuine, they never coached us or told us to look like we were having fun, we really WERE

so that's you in the pic right there? cause that was monday after they took the front camera off. lol Yup 'twas me! I wish I had gone Tuesday instead of Monday, seems like people were getting more rides that day

Most of the footage is from Monday, but there a few shots from Tuesday. Monday had lots of striped shirts. Tuesday had lots of solid-colored shirts. The first clip from the following video is from Tuesday. The back of my head is visible at the top left. I am wearing a green shirt...... Someone please post a link with the TV commercial when it is available. Thank you. i like the music video the best out of all the footage. or well, i guess the edit. the video with the blue train is monday, and purple tuesday. that was an easy way for me to know. plus, the drone was only tuesday along with the rear camera. green shirt on the rear mounted camera train? i was probably a row or car in front of you, i was right in the middle. [attachment=0]11334077_10153268622479174_7143212820540263789_o.jpg[/attachment] finger pointed to me. who else is in this picture?? Wait a minute? You're the Asian guy with the blue shirt? I was sitting next to you on Monday for 8 laps non stop

I'm sure it'll be even better than it is now because of the heat and breaking in. I plan to ride late August or so, can't wait

Medusa runs on steel wheels, and it absolutely rips through the course. As opposed to, for instance. Goliath, which runs on poly and has clearly lost a lot of speed by its final turn. There's an interview with Alan Schilke from IAAPA last year and he said i-box cannot use steel wheels. I'd link the interview but not sure I can because of who it's posted by. Kind of weird that Cyclone would stop using steel wheels if the ride is getting rave reviews.

Confused because I thought they couldn't use steel wheels on the i-box track.

Ugh if only Cedar Fair would venture away from B&M more often, they'd be able to spread more love across more of their parks in the same season. You could almost install THREE RMC rides for the price of one ride like Gatekeeper, Banshee, Leviathan, or Fury.

Not bad actually, very ominous!

^You're right I just looked on SFFT's website and they do call it a Free Fly. So maybe the names are interchangeable?

Whoops I meant 4D free spin which is the one at Fiesta Texas. The free fly is Tranan in Sweden

I wouldn't be surprised if a 4D free spin showed up at Gradv, simply because I think Six Flags is going to put them in several parks. I can see SFOG, SFGAM, SFStl, SFGradv,SFDK, SFM, and possibly SFA receiving them at some point. It's an inexpensive ride that takes up a very small footprint and it's getting rave reviews at Fiesta Texas so far.

People are complaining but forget the ride doesnt open until Saturday. Everything else thus far is a bonus

I watched one yesterday on YouTube

I did. While I was on the stairs leading up to the station waiting to take my first ride today, I saw Alan Schilke standing at the top watching the trains go through their wild gyrations on the course. No one seemed to even know who he was, but I did! He was also taking in all the riders' reactions as they came into and sat on the brake run. I could see that he had a very contented look. When I reached him I said, "Aah the proud Papa!" He smiled, and then I reached out to shake his hand and said "You're my HERO!" Then he really smiled! I said, "This must be such a happy day for you." and he said, "Oh yes it is. They're not all like this!" He was VERY happy! Wow!!! Too awesome!!!

Did anyone get to talk to Alan Schilke? I heard he was at the media event. He is my idol

I might find fault with comparing it to El Toro and Nitro. Only because Nitro is a snoozefest compared to El Toro, whilst WC and Bizarro seem to be pretty much matched in terms of intensity and quality. I think a better comparison would be Maverick and Millennium Force IMO in terms of a 1-2 punch. Just my .02

Maverick is quite a complicated ride, so many blocking/safety systems since it runs so many trains at once. I'm sure maintenance at CP hates the ride

If Cedar Fair installs a hyper or an invert at KD

There's some flywheels that send you into the pre-lift bunny hops, it's actually quite fun and gets you ready for the ride

Even after riding the TC (which was f**king bananas) I still say Cyclone has the edge because of the unrelenting pace. TC and WC probably have the same amount of airtime "moments" but Cyclone's look just brutal. Can't wait to ride Cyclone later this summer

OMG I definitely gotta ride this sometime this year, looks super amazing!!

There's no use arguing with certain individuals regarding MM. They find every reason to pick apart the park and totally ignore that MM now has the best coaster in California and potentially a top 5 steel coaster. I personally think MM can get a 75% dueling rate with consistency, and to be honest the dueling action is only a fraction of what makes the ride amazing. Take out the dueling aspect and you STILL have an amazing coaster.

today, i was waiting in the que to get on the second train. so, with everyone knowing we need to move fast, the other train was dispatched, train came down, the attendants unbuckled the belts and lifted lap bars, we got in buckled and just barely made it in time. that was with 6 ride operators hustling with the bosses there. this didn't take into account normal operation with a train full of passengers to get out and others to get in. i really hope something can be done to make it happen, but i still believe it will be EXTREMELY RARE. they do somewhat have the timing down when both trains aren't even touched after coming in the station. meaning, no passenger swaps or even lap bars moved, just checked. Did they add the 3rd train today, or still working with two?
