The one in Florida got the new flying theater, spinning mini drop tower and a disco. The UK one got a mad house. I feel like we can see even more intermediate intense rides in the future. A Chance freestyle type ride or even a gerstlauer sky fly with a lego theme

I think its gonna ride like Velcicoaster which is a good thing

I think once its finished being painted it will look a lot better

Would look good on the hill at SFSTL. If they don't have the original train have Vekoma make a new vest train for it But Frontier City one of the few smaller Six Flags parks without a Boomerang already so that would make sense

I wonder if MOA will get its own version of Sandy's blasting bronco Another thing I have never understood is why Nick Universe or Universal Studios haven't built a burger joint to look just like the Krusty Krab

WOF reminds me more of SFSTL then Dorney lol Invert = Invert GCI = GCI Spinner = spinner windseeker < sky screamer Boomerang = boomerang ect ect

Well people always complained about the food lines. Less dining plan guest should fix that

I love that color scheme. If they could just make griffon a little darker so they dont blend in as much that would be great

I love this trend of parks selling slices of the coaster track.

Harry Potter and the escape from Gringots, Rip ride rocket and Hagrids are worth a ride as well

I am guessing a new train with a new LIM launch system done by Gerstlauer

First timers experience at Universal. Even with going to Orlando a lot lately this park and Disney were never super high on my must visit lists. I am not really a dark ride person. When Velocicoaster opened though this park shot up my to do list. We went on the busy Saturday of January the 8th. We bought a park hopper ticket and express passes. We entered Islands of Adventure at 8:45 and straight lined it to Hagrids. We walked up to a worker holding a sign saying the line starts here with an estimated wait time of 2 hours. Dang. We backtracked and started with VelociCoaster. This coaster was easily one of my most anticipated new coasters in a long time. Wait time said an hour. Trains were dispatched faster than I have ever seen. We were off in about 40 minutes. Was I in for the ride of my life or about to be Jurasicaly disappointed. Well... It was good. Really good. Just not as good as I was expecting. The worker really stapled me. First time ever being uncomfortable on an Intamin coaster (have not ridden skyrush) I am a skinny guy and it was B&M vest restraint tight on my crouch. The layout and theme and launches were great though. I really regret not riding again to see if It could take out Maverick as my number one. We walked back to Hagrids for another try. Estimated wait time of 75 minutes. We were off in about 75 minutes. I do not follow Harry Potter so I don't really know the characters. Que line had lots to look at and was all set up nicely. I am assuming the dog walking around was projection mapping? This ride blew my expectations out of the water. I was not expecting much with it being a family coaster. The launches had some punch, the transactions had Intamin Snap. I sat on the motorcycle and my wife had the side car. The motorcycle did not feel like a motorcycle but an elevated coaster seat.Great ride. We finally got to start using our express passes. This is not my favorite system. I wish they would use a wrist band system. I did not like having to put everything but a little paper card into a locker and then not losing that paper card. Flight of the Hippogriff was nest lol . I liked the big bird thing in the queue. The trains had a neat looking zero car with the same bird. Harry Potter and the forbidden journey was awful. Coasters do not make me sick but this torture device did. First couple screens were fun. After that I had to close my eyes and wait for the ride to end. This ride really soiled my lukewarm reception of dark rides even more. I was hesitant to ride more screen rides after it. We ate at the comic strip cafe next as we were starving and thirsty. Quick service with a large AC restaurant. We then angered a big green monster and he threw us around like a rag doll lol. I am not one to gray out on rides but between the stupid forbidden journey, the heat and still being a little dehryated the zero g roll, cobra roll and small loop all made me see black dots. That was a first for me. For a beemer looper I actually really enjoyed the ride. We toured some stores and then walked over to studios. We quickly boarded the Hollywood rip ride rocket. The groupers were leaving a lot of empty seats which was annoying. I did the special sound track code 306 for Eminen and it added a lot to the ride. This ride gets a lot of hate on the internet but I enjoyed it. Reminded me of a chinese knock off Blitz coaster that had a baby with a euro fighter. Some of the mcbr's had some really good pops of air. We explored studio's. I liked that this park had a 100% different feel and vibe then Island of Adventure. After some more shopping and eating we found the escape from Gringots. This ride was okay, Did not get me sick and had some surprises in it. Crazy seeing some people quit after the elevator. With all the projection mapping in areas it can get hard to tell what is real vs fake. Our last ride was MIB. Thankfully this ride did not have screens. My gun did not seem to work half the time but it was fun for what it was. I wanted a lard land donut but the long was crazy. I wanted a duff beer but the line was crazy lol. We explored a little more, did more shopping and finished our day. All in all a fun day. I definitely preferred Islands of Adventure. After this trip and being a coaster enthusiast for 30 years I can say I am still more of a six flags or Cedar fair kind of guy. I did like the theming and emergson in certain areas though. Thank you for reading, Only took a couple pictures since my phone was in lockers all day from ride to ride.

wicked husker

Do you think the station sign was donated to the coaster museum?

There is a special place in hell for people who move next door to place that has been around 100 years and then complain about it

Sorry VF, MIA, Dor, Wof and CFGAM all your allocated budget is going to Knotts.

I would do the trip but just one park. Gives you a little extra time to enjoy one park the other

When I rode the coaster in 2019 it was glass smooth

Sorry it seems you weren't thrilled with your visit to SFMM. I have never been to this park yet but its my top bucket list park. What do you think the park needs to improve it?

It looks fun! I regretted not riding the one at MOA but it was the only ride there with a line

Timberliners. So comfy

My one experience at the park was great. Every coaster was running. Longest wait was Cobra at 15 minutes and Cheetah Hunt was only 5 to 10 all day

For sure Universal studios and Island of adventure, Michigan's Adventure Hopefully lost island in Iowa, Carowinds, SFOG, Indiana Beach and SFDL

Sorry for posting q Facebook post but Adventureland got bought out https://www.facebook.com/102775329805861/posts/4619270034823012

I feel like they could have made the ride without the turn table. Just launch it backwards instead of turning the train
