How dare you share this secret info!!!!

It is great! Too bad I was slightly "hungover" Saturday am when I went on it....as my body wasn't up for what it experienced!

Not my thing.....but so be it! If others like it, great! Guess I'm old/ getting too old- as height and speed is my thing, not twists, turns, etc......

Sunday, July 5th ETR was terrific! I parked around 9:30am, waited about a minute for my wristband....and no line for security! BATMAN (ie- NAMTAB) was a great ride! Walked right on- sat in the first row......man does it pack a punch backwards! Smooth, smooth, smooth! I was "one and done"....as my body wasn't 100% this morning- and that was all I could tolerate! First row on Nitro (no wait)....headed to the bumper cars- waited, and waited.....and walked away, as it was a hot mess with the people driving, empty cars, lousy job, etc. Skyscreamer was a walk on.....hit El Toro at 10:30am (walk on, 1st row), then Zumanjaro (walk on)......Parachute? Sure....never ride it/walk on. Got our "free" snack and lunch.....hit the road at 11:45am.

Soooo.....with the light showers, will that lighten the crowds today? (July 4th).....thinking a quick stop around 7pm would be in order, if that were the case!

Too funny!

Nice to hear! I've had a season pass since I was in fifth grade (that would be since 1981!).....thus always critical of the park. Good to hear that SFGA is enjoyable to "outsiders"......thanks for posting!

My sone told me that the park was "dead" today (Wednesday, June 3rd)......great time of year to hit the park, if you can! Especially after 3pm, as any school buses are gone.

g Or yawn?

Guess today's season pass promotion "Bring a Friend for Free" worked......

Stacking on Bizarro! Shocker!

Beautiful day- and crowds/lines are very managable!

Based on what I have read on this discussion board, markings, etc.....I would agree that both areas will be upgraded. And with such "early" ongoings in these areas in 2015- I would expect a significant coaster being added.

Great topic...... My two cents would be that it could be possible to combine the speed, height and looping elements into one coaster, however: - cost probably hinders this - people like the appeal of loops, twists and turns.....many others don't - those who like the appeal of loops, twists and turns most likely enjoy speed and heights - others like speed and heights, but can do without loops, twists and turns..... - With that, why bother blending the two? Personally- I will ride any coaster, but prefer speed and heights vs. loops, etc. My local park is SFGA....and can do without things like Green Lantern, Superman, etc.....but would go on Nitro and El Toro all day. Combining "the best of both" doesn't appeal to me personally.

Correct- Kingda Ka isn't a rusty mess!

Some further details on that Madhouse.....for those who maybe interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madhouse_(ride)

The best way to describe it: - you sit on what is essentially a 30 seat (left to right) "Pirate Ship" ride....that rocks back and forth - this "Pirate Ship" type ride is enclosed by a cylinder, which rotates around you, while your are rocking back and forth - when both affects are in motion/going in the opposite direction...combined with sound effects, darkness, illusions.....it makes for a fun ride! Better yet- are those who seemed totally freaked out by the "illusion".....yet can't comprehend that there are no major restraints/seat belts for a reason!

IMO- this should scare off (no pun intended!) the masses.....and should allow you to take advantage of those "cracks" in the weather (when there is no precipitation) in order for you to get plenty of ride time. Enjoy!

3 people running Bizarro....can't fault them!

2:30pm Saturday....line + stacking at Bizarro....time to take care of my 2015 pass and get out of here!

Well why haven't they fixed it. its been broke almost the whole season. They are being cheap. They are not fixing it. Maybe, just maybe they are waiting on parts. The local SkyRide parts store was out of what SFGAdv needed. Love it! Yes- one of my favorite places to shop.....the local SkyRide parts store!!!!!

Always love the token beer (or two) thrown in just for sh@#s and giggles!

Rain is stopping.....seems like a "perfect" day to make it to the park, relative to afternoon crowds (too bad I already got plans!)

Interesting article that outlines the history of Epcot, how it has/is evolving......do you agree? Here is the link from screamscape.com http://screamscape.com/html/wdw_-_epcot.htm

Agreed! I like how the park looks, love the theming, etc.....but can't deal with the crowds- including getting my pass validated!
