Yo I'm still confused...

Basically a forceless coaster is a coaster that is not very forceful. Some examples that I have ridden are California Screamin and Silver Bullet.

That statement just seems ridiculous to me on so many levels. The part about it being 9th or being 6th?

I've always wondered about this issue. Why would a park waste time and money creating a new, original layout when they could just make a clone? Yeah this would make enthusiasts upset, but the GP wouldn't care.

Which "Goliath"? There's a woodie, a hyper, a B&M invert, and a GIB Sorry, the one at SFMM I didn't say that I don't like Batman, but I said that its overrated. I think it's the 9th best coaster at SFMM, while I've read some lists that put it as the 6th best coaster in the park.

There are two ways a coaster can be overrated; a) the GP loves it or b) enthusiasts love it. I will provide my pick for each. GP-Goliath: Goliath is a great ride, as it is in my top 10, but it is really overrated. First off, the drop is horrible. It is very shallow and provides no airtime. Also, the ride is rather short. Enthusiasts-Batman:The Ride: Here's my thing about Batman; it's too forceful for too long. Don't get me wrong, I like forceful rides. However, I love seeing a range of forcefulness. For instance, look at Tatu's pretzel loop. Before you enter it, the g-force isn't very strong. However, during the pretzel loop the g-force crushes you. Then, once you exit the pretzel loop, the g-force lowers again. I like this, as it doesn't make the whole ride have the same feeling. However, Batman is always intense. No part of this ride gives you a chance to breath or, through contrast, makes you realize how forceful the ride actually is. All the ride is is bland intensity.

Went to the park yesterday for the first time this season. Below is a description of my experience with everything I did Twisted Colossus: Amazing as always Goliath: Man does that first drop suck. Yeah it's long, but you get absolutely no air on it. However, it's still a fun ride which some great g-force. Full Throttle: Also amazing as always. Apocalypse: A lot better than I expected. Last time I rode it all I remembered about it was the rattle, but this time the ride was packed with ejector air. Yeah it's rough, but I'm a huge sucker for airtime. Los Cuates Mexican Grill: Ate here for the first time and was not disappointed. The quesadillas were superb and superior to those at Food Ect. Goldrusher: This coaster is the only ride that I have ridden 10+ times that I have been able to walk on every single time. The New Revolution: So I made reservations to ride this from 3-5. I got on Full Throttle at around 2:50, and I started feeling raindrops while on the brake run. I quickly ran to The New Revolution and got there at 2:57, but by then it was pouring. The employees told us that we could still ride, but we could not wear the VR. However, they didn't say that we couldn't ride in the rain because the VR wasn't waterproof, but rather that the phone wasn't waterproof. Various employees repeated this multiple times. However I just did a quick search and the Galaxy S7 can stay SUBMERGED in water for 30 minutes, so I have no clue what they were talking about. Anyways right when it stopped raining the ride started having technical difficulties. So yeah, I drove 2 hours to ride a ride that I couldn't ride. Tatsu: While in line it started raining. The ride stopped and every five minutes the intercom would blame "minor technical difficulties". I asked some employees whether it was rain related, and they had no idea. After 45 minutes, the rain eventually cleared up and we were able to ride. To put it simply, Tatsu is a flawless flying coaster. It's smooth, it has a nice range of forces. and it has the perfect mix of elements. A little later in the day I walked by Tatsu again while it was raining and the intercom was once again blaming "minor technical difficulties". This kinda made me upset. If you are going to be closed during the rain, just say that you're going to be closed during the rain. Don't make it sound like it's totally unrelated to the rain. Ninja: Right before I got on Ninja it started hailing. Thankfully, the ride ops still let us ride. Yeah it was painful, but it was worth it. Also, Ninja was a lot smoother and wilder than I remembered. In the end, I feel like SFMM should have an official rain policy of what rides will be opened, which rides won't be opened, and which rides may or may not be opened. We spent a lot of time while in line for Tatsu trying to figure out if the closure was due to the rain or not. Then we had to figure out if any worthwhile rides were open in the rain. We asked about 6 employees if they knew which rides were opened, and none of them knew anything. Eventually my friend had to volunteer to scout out Ninja and Apocalypse to see if they were open. Obviously SFMM knows which rides can operate in the rain and which rides cannot, so I feel like it would benefit everyone if they a) posted it on their website or b) made sure employees know.

Does anyone here know the SFMM rain policy during light to medium rain?

I agree with you on Avengers. I thought that Batman V Superman was better than both Avengers movies and I also fell that the Avengers movies are very overrated (the other marvel movies are great though).

Batman V Superman: I don't know why this film is getting so much hate. Yeah some of the scenes left you saying "Really?" but it was still a great motion picture. If I made this movie, I would have gone in a different direction (different feel, different plot) but I felt like the direction they chose to go in was executed fairly well. Probably 90% of the film has a serious/intense mood, which is pretty cool because it leaves you on the edge of your seat. The action sequences were pretty sweet, too. However, I would have liked to see less CGI. Ultimately, this was pretty good, and I feel like most of the criticisms of it were because of minor details. 88/100.

Wild Rivers was a water park in Irvine, California which was considered pretty good. However, a couple years ago it was torn down to make way for homes. However, I recently saw this https://www.facebook.com/WildRiversWaterpark/posts/10154003803489431?fref=nf Anyone have any thoughts?

If I am heading to the park next week which day do y'all recommend me going? I was thinking of Tuesday or Thursday, but I don't go to the park often enough to know.

Desperado at Buffalo Bills

Glad I got to ride Star Tours one final time!
