This one made me laugh way more than it actually should have: When it was open - 2 trains. When it was broken down - 0 trains.

So much here. I'm not typically a fan of Zamperla's rides for the most part, but this one (plus the smaller, full 360-degree model they have at Luna Park) is quite amazing. I'd love having a Giant Discovery within a decent driving distance.

The ride where cultures are blended! Cinnamon maple bread? Roadkill poutine? Yummmmmmmmm.

Nobody here cares about the waterpark so you might be better off calling the park. Or just going to the theme park and avoiding Hurricane Harbor like the plague... It's posted on their site behind the Season Passholder firewall; I honestly don't know why they keep this info hidden... seems like it might actually sell a few extra passes if people knew about it?

They keep it hidden behind the Season Passholder login for some reason

This is my absolute favorite picture from the trip report so far.

How does something like this go so horribly wrong in such a short amount of time?

Agreed, it's still my favorite flume of all time. I do miss having even more trees and seclusion (pre-Hydra), but the ride is still completely solid. Hell, it's probably my favorite ride in the entire park.

My thought is their social media interns have too much free time on their hands.

Let's remember that when someone attacks your beloved one trick (from one row) pony.

And you know how I feel about coasters in the dark. I know how you feel about A coaster in the dark, one specifically.

No, unless you've been living in a cave, there's been quite a few others that agree with you on this forum as well as out in the GP. Personally, I don't think it's COMPLETELY stupid, but so far, the results have been less than inspiring in both execution and what it means for the speed of dispatch. I'm hoping that this experiment ends up stopping after this season, but I'm not too confident in that hope.

You need to lay off all the candy before bed. That stuff's not good for you.

Are there more than 12 people in line for Supes? Then yes, the wait is 60+ minutes. Sounds about right.

It's called Dinosaurs Alive!, innit?

I'm having Holiday in the Park flashbacks this morning. I got on the train and instead of the usual stench of the MTA, all I could smell was pine needles and peppermint. Please send help. (Preferably in the form of hot chocolate and waffle carts.)

Just the news you've been waiting for.

"Loretta." (That'd be the Beast's first ex-wife. Ruined him for all his future relationships. It's why he's so angry now.)

Oh, that's interesting, I never knew that. Thanks for the info!

How so? Curious.

I305 opened up around 5. That's some bad luck for you but hey, you have to drive back home at some point. I thought I wanted to know. Now I realize I didn't really want to know. Thanks for the info though.

I just got home from the park. Nothing new with Hurler. Not even flags or markers. Did 305 ever open yesterday? I was at the park from 10 to 4, and aside from a few test trains being sent early in the morning, there was no activity. Was contemplating sticking it out a bit longer, but it's a heck of a drive back to NY.

Obviously why Dorney now needs a 330 ft winged B&M giga gate coaster... with a splashdown.

Speaking of Steel Force, when I was there last month, I rode in the back and was shockingly underwhelmed. Rode again in the front on boldikus' recommendation and it completely changed my opinion, as apparently that's where all the force gravitated to. Can someone explain to me the science behind this? I was always under the impression that the back of a train is the place to be for more intense airtime and G-forces, yet for some reason on Steel Force it's been flipped turned upside-down. What the hell is the deal with that?
