I keep imagining his hair flopping around with the airtime and I can't stop grinning. This needs to happen. -

I know, it's crazy how different people have different opinions, right? -

Great news. Two amazing coasters made even better. Now if only GAdv would give the same treatment to Kingda Ka. -
For me, El Toro, Skyrush, and Texas Giant.

The Dragon is terrible. Bulky Morgan trains, no air, no laterals, and a hell of a lot of jackhammering. If you really want to get on it go for it, but don't go out of your way to come ride it. -
Yes, you are. Don't trek up to NY just to get on a (unreliable) bus to the park and then having to depend on (unreliable) Amtrak to get back to Philly with enough time to spare to catch a flight. You'd be better off taking a train from Philly to Trenton and then a cab to the park. Or, unfortunately, you just might have to scrap the park from your plans

Nope. Star Flyers don't appeal to me. -

Was at the park Friday and just wanted to share a few thoughts. The park is beautiful. Honestly I didn't know what to expect but I was blown away by the scenery. Ample shade and creeks running through the park lend to the atmosphere. Also enjoyed seeing some actual themeing in a Six Flags park, especially over by JB's Smokehouse and the area near Runaway Mountain. Now for the rides Texas Giant: Yes. This ride is amazing, and you locals are so lucky to have this in your park. Great air, especially in the back, but the front is also a lot of fun. Definitely in my top 10, just not sure where yet. I've only ridden two RMCs but this is definitely my favourite. Titan: Much better than it's sister out in California. The drop seems like it's never going to end and those helixes are forceful. Runaway Mountain: Pleasant surprise of the day. Loved that unlike Skull Mountain at GAdv, they actually do a good job of making sure no light bleeds through. Didn't know which way was up by the end of the ride, and that's quite alright by me. Shock Wave: Great ride absolutely ruined with the VR headsets. I originally planned on riding once without the VR and once with, but the ops were so bad and I was pressed for time and only rode without the VR. Thankfully this ride packs a punch anyway, and I have to once again tip my hat to Anton for designing a gem. Mine Train: Eh. Seemed every time it was about to get going, another lift hill appeared. Just wanted the credit. Mr Freeze: Great launch that took me by surprise even though I knew it was coming, and the inverted top hat is very disorienting. Also really enjoyed climbing up the spike. Riding this made me wish GAdv had gone with one of these models instead of trying and failing with The Chiller. Oh well. Judge Roy Scream: Credit #100 for me! Unfortunately that's the only positive I have to say about this ride. Wanted to enjoy it but it was just too rickety for me. Kudos to the park for keeping a classic, though. I did think it was cool how the ride isn't technically in the park however. Skipped La Vibora because I just wasn't interested and B:TR and Pandemonium because I have those credits elsewhere, and as mentioned before I didn't have much time in the park. Also hopped on Yosemite Sam's Gold River Adventure because I had to see first hand what a SF dark ride was like. Kind of lame but I couldn't stop laughing. Enjoyed that it was a decently long ride and gave me the opportunity to get off my feet and into some A/C. Only bummer was that Justice League was closed. I was really looking forward to riding it. Overall, great park. Of the four SF parks I've visited, it slots in firmly at #2 (sorry, I'm biased towards my home park, GAdv.) Hope to visit again someday in the future, hopefully with some more time to spare. -

Decided to go because I'm already here in the Metroplex and might as well just give it a shot. I'll be wearing a blue Mets Noah Syndergaard t-shirt, so if you see me feel free to say hello. -

^ Ha. Probably going to take the chance, but even national weather services are calling for these bad storms. I'm just gonna sleep on it and see what the weather is like in the morning. -

Supposed to visit the park tomorrow but now I'm on the fence due to the nasty storms they're calling for. Question for the locals: should I head out to the park anyway tomorrow and hope for the best, or just scrap my plans and try visiting again in the future?
