Probably accounted for it never having a line ever -
US Trip Planning help needed

I have one huge piece of advice. No matter how much you love rollercoasters, you can and will absolutely get burnt out. That many days in a row at a park is going to take a massive toll and you will end up resenting it. -

I think you nailed it when you said the drop goes on forever. Maybe it's the shape, but it feels almost twice as tall as mf. Also Fury has the rare distinction for me of being a FRONT ROW ride. -
I know not all of you are ahem, test seat challenged and was wondering how you fitness/diet types kept it on track while visiting parks? I found it quite challenging on my holiday world/kings island/cedar point run this summer. Walking around the park feels great, but sometimes it feels like the only option when going to parks is indulging in the crap food and soda and just hitting it hard in the gym when you get back. So do you guys try to stick to a plan? Consider it a free day? Let's hear some tips!

Great to hear! Thanks for asking! That makes sense. When I rode they were having trouble getting people out of the seats in the station -

Fine by me. Wild eagle is a snooze fest and I think Lightning Run just needs a chain lift. The launch isn't much but a gimmick -

So at the spot of the launch, where it's been known to overheat, they snuck in a fog effect? I remember back in 2003 on thrill network (rip) someone defended batman, the stand up at astroworlds rusting out as theming -

That would be really cool. They did bring back the bat afterall. Maybe a new Son of Beast but this time with a barrel roll? -

Fury is the best coaster on earth. And I recently re rode MF just to make sure. -

This. My apologies, I didn't realize I was in the presence of someone immune to the effects of oppressive heat and humidity that the region faced over the weekend. I'll take hot weather over cold any day of the week, but I was done with it by Sunday afternoon. And suggesting that a park add mist fans to an outdoor switchback queue does not qualify as whining. If a Six Flags park can do it, so can Dollywood. The park already has them covering half of the Wilderness Pass area, so it's not a huge ask for them to add one or two to Lightning Rod's outdoor queue. We know they've had plenty of time to do so. I live, and have always lived in georgia. Oppressive heat?! Dude, if you can't stand in sunlight for 20 minutes...I'm not really sure what to tell ya. Hit the gym and chug some gatorades. -

I've never seen more whining about a park in my entire life. I hope I never have to be stuck in a ride queue with any of yall.
