Everything in the park needs a paint job, especially Nitro. IMO they should paint it red with black supports, yellow+pink+blue is an awful color combo I've always liked the paint scheme on Nitro, something about the pink adds a flare to it. I feel like if/when Six Flags repaints it, they'll just go for yellow and blue and eliminate the accent color.

New genre? Giga-lite? Can't wait to see official stuff -
They're not going to bust their A$$ to be ready for a small event that they probably forgot they even put on the website (plus even if they did this thing wouldn't be ready). I don't know the exact corporate structure but it's evident that there's no communication whatsoever between the web team and anyone else at the company. That's been evident for years. Everything posted (or not posted: they closed like 8 hours early on Saturday but you probably didn't know that because they didn't post it anywhere) on any Six Flags website or social media page should be taken with a grain of salt. Last year they wrote some big write-up in a web post / press release about how you'd be overcome with Holiday Magic or whatever while riding the drop tower during Holiday in the Park while park employees actually at the park were busy winterizing it and turning it into a giant Christmas tree with absolutely no intention of running it for the event whatsoever. Enthusiasts need to stop operating under the assumption that Six Flags parks know or care what's on the website because they should know better by now. I know someone is reading this and preparing to write some response about why they should care and how it's bullsh*t that they don't care about the internet and social media in 2019 and I mean... yeah... but they don't, so deal with it. To be fair, I never mentioned the ERT day and was referring to Memorial Day (which is usually the day Six Flags eyes as their target chain wide). I did preface by saying I think they will miss a Memorial Day opening by 1-2 weeks, just highlighting the irony of them completing the impossible in a crunch in the past.

TPR 2018 Coaster Poll Results!

Twisted Timbers did really well!! -
I feel like they'll miss Memorial Day by a week or two, though I remember a couple of years ago thinking there would be no way Justice League would be completed in time and they somehow busted ass and got it done. Maybe barring anymore snow, and some intense overtime?? Either way, the ride looks kick ass and I cant wait to see if it dethrones Xcelerator(imo) as the most intense launch in the country.

I would question if Goliath is a people eater. It has the potential to be, but with seat belts, several seats going empty every dispatch, and frequent two-minute dispatches, I would say it is quite average at best. Every B&M in the park (when running at least two trains) and Twisted Colossus definitely have faster moving lines. But their queues are nowhere near as enjoyable as Goliath's, so pick your poison. scream and batman are fast too. like i said goliath is a pretty good people eater. has been since new. pre and post seat belts. only time is sucked was when they were swapping wheels every few circuits when it was brand new since the wheel compounds would fall apart. Yeah I agree with Goliath being a people eater, and back in the day when they used 3 trains it would absolutely munch through lines.

I've always loved Goliath, after all these years it's still the smoothest ride in the park. Titan was the exact opposite, very rough. It's odd when pretty much exact clones can have such different ride experiences. The same with Scream and Bizzaro, Scream rides like absolute trash while Bizarro is an absolute joy.

The Space Mountain incident leaves me with so many questions. Like how cognitively impaired he was, if he was forced on the ride against his will, if he had some type of supervision (and how much supervision can be imposed upon a 20 year old adult), if this could be a catalyst for more stringent rules for mentally impaired patrons (which would be terrible imo), etc;
