Oh wow. That's great for both Father's Day and a BAFF day too! Thanks a lot.

I'm planning on going to the park later today. I'm sure it's crowded but if anyone is there, how long are the lines?

You're forgetting GL and the back rows of KK (btw sorry for the double post)

You're forgetting GL and the back rows on KK There's nothing wrong with this; we all have this problem. how much money have we spent for amusement parks? But a roller coaster is like a true friend: it would never do anything to hurt you. Well, maybe except GASM and RT... and Viper... yeah

I305 cost 25 million. I guess Batman cost around 5 or 10. Where are you getting your numbers from?

Am I the only one that thinks a Free Spin would not be wise? The capacity would be terrible and no one knows how Batman will turn out. It may be just as uncomfortable as GL in California. A giga like the one mentioned before would be both highly marketable and more enjoyable (flying by trees, being isolated from the rest of the park, etc) than a Free Spin. Just my two cents but a giga would be a better choice to up attendance.

Does it remind anyone else of the devil from Final Destination 3 and that roller coaster? I am well aware

It would've been interesting if GASM got the Bizarro treatment. It would've added a few years to it's life and would be cool next to Superman. Even without any redesign, if they added trains with some sort of lap bar, the ride would've be so much better.

^Like you said, one of the only reasons you get a season pass is because of its coaster collection. Management may want to expand the left side of the park because so many popular coasters are there. People don't come to the park from around the world for infrastructure. They come for the rides. Hopefully next year Old Country will be reborn in a way and make the right side popular again. I agree the park needs work but the primary focus is on the rides because that's what makes people go year after year. Hopefully soon repairs will be done but I doubt it.

While that is a different experience, the capacity is terrible. However a 4D like X2 from S&S would have a higher capacity with a similar experience, but I doubt that'll happen.

Has there been any construction on El Diablo? I'm half expecting there wasn't any work done over the past months.

Does anyone know of a reason the park wouldn't reopen the path? Or why did it even close in the first place? I just dont see the logic behind keeping this path closed.

The panels are supposed to fill 100 square acres. The parking lot is approximately 56 square acres so the parking lot is too small actually. But putting them on buildings is a good idea

Why are people bringing in politics? This is a great idea and it will benefit the park big time. Tax payer money goes into every new thing they get so why complain now?

^ I haven't ridden Ka since 2014 because I can't stand waiting multiple hours for it. Hopefully the state will loosen their corset and let them run together

NOT A ROLLER COASTER

She met the rider requirements.....not sure where the issue was here. They probably thought because she is not an adult that would increase her chances of getting hurt

^ That is an accurate representation of how people react when something like this happens

^ Anyone else feel like that isn't the park's fault? They obviously want to avoid a lawsuit if the girl gets hurt, not because of her "appearance" as her mother claims.

I will be so glad if this happens. When I am at Toro it is almost not even worth it to get to Ka lol. I think the pathway would be more popular than the ride lol. It definitely seems we're more excited about it

I think some people confuse rough with snappy. Batman has snappy transitions but it is smooth. I know my brother confuses the two.

^^ Dorney hasn't got a band new coaster in a while but Stinger had a malfunction. You made it sound like it has an accident all the time. Dorney will probably get a coaster soon. As for SFNE they got Goliath, the wild mouse, and they're getting Wicked Cyclone next year. That's three coasters in the years since we got Green Lantern. We are overdue for a coaster. Especially since we are one of the major Six Flags park.

It's like things have gotten into a routine of which coasters to ride. It's gotten repetitive. It'll be nice to have a new coaster in the mix.

You guys have what is often regarded as the #1 wooden coaster in the world plus the worlds tallest and 2nd fastest coaster. You already have your headliners. I swear SFGAD fanboys are some of the greediest out there. I was only trying to say that some parks in the northeast are getting new coasters and we haven't got a coaster in a few years. Yes we do need work on the park. Hopefully some things can be done over the off season. We have great coasters already too but recently some additions (and removals) haven't been smart. A new coaster can help bring profits to the park and more refurbishments can be done. It's not greed as much as killing two birds with one stone. A new coaster to compete with other parks. And more profits for fixing up the park in the near future.

The grand total of people who will choose to visit Carowinds instead of SFGadv in 2015 will less than 100. Not a good reason to invest $10-20 million dollars. Highly doubtful. If I lived somewhere other than the east coast, I would spend money to go to a park getting a giga coaster, not a carnival ride
