  1. Went to the park for Pride night on Saturday, the new front entrance is coming along nicely. Lots of new things that are clearly NOT Six flags... concrete squares instead of blacktop, etc., and all the rides were running better than last year. Seems everyone's favorite of the night was Eagle (red), running like a bat outta hell. MaxxForce is back to 2 trains again; easily the most comfortable *new design* trains I've ridden in a couple decades; that ride is my favorite launcher (besides the old Schwarzkopf shuttles).
  2. I had my hands up for the first few rides I took, until I rode the back seat alone (nobody else wanted to ride back there). It owned me (in the valleys, as coasterbill mentioned), and then I braced with 2 hands and 2 feet. After all that, I heard the rule. I love flat track, even if it's elevated. It adds variety and great scenic views, can't wait to ride it again.
  3. Patriot was great! Sit up straight and brace yourself. Not a hands-up ride (and it's a rule, too, I found out).
  4. Can't wait to ride it tomorrow! So happy to see the shoulder bars are off and it can once again run the way it was designed - shoulder bar free. Anton never had shoulder bars/pads on his rides. My friend who lives out there has been riding the heck out of it now, says it's a completely different ride.
  5. Cyclone runs faster these days because they took out all the snaps that throw the train off the track. They took out the best parts; every single hill has been parabolized (not a word, but you probably get it.). We don't have many classics with flat seat left, I'll love it while I can. But yeah, GCI got ahold of it a few years ago and did what they do. They even took out the minuscule airtime from CP Blue Streaks' first drop. They don't want the train leaving the track, where they can prevent it. Cyclone is still an awesome ride, but lost it's terrifying drops/fear points.
  6. I vote for Magic Mountain and all the SF parks to focus on taking care of and improving what they have. All those rides are used at a fraction of the capacity they can handle; many have old rough spots, add more quality family rides .... like a monorail and open the Tower. Improve flow to and from rides - I'm talking about the 1/2-mile long not-wide-enough-for-a-wheelchair exit ramps from many popular coasters - at ALL big six flags parks... that crap creates fights. I just checked out the google map of the park, as you guys were talking about the homes moving closer at the back of the park. I'm not sure how old the google map is, but there is still space that looks like its being cleared... isn't Socal oversaturated with everything already? The homes look like prisons, made me think of Clockwork Orange. Probably just eco-housing, I hope they are nice inside (pure bright white with lots of sharp edges, class and steel?) Dang I gotta get back to get on X2, Revo and Ninja... some of my favorites! But the park has gotten so not fun in the past few years. I hope they make it what it could be, sure deserves it.
  7. ^Probably on the crowded side. Unless you like long lines for drinks and food, pack your trunk if you can. Hope you like the park, I always say it's the best in the chain ;)
  8. Looking for input on crowds for tomorrow, Sunday May 28th. I know some holiday weekends are crammed, but there were always some that were dead. I can never keep track, and have had SFE (Six Flags Exhuastion) for years. I just want to know NOT when to go. Is tomorrow one of them?
  9. B&M giving us variety! It's always a good day when it happens... which isn't much. Looks like a tester/test track more than a big B&M, but good for them! They can do anything. Except laterals haha Not fun in bucket seats anyway.
  10. Does the spike really do that? Or just sarcasm? Can't tell Seems more controls and track switching would complicate the operation.
  11. Those are beautiful posters! Thanks for sharing, miss this place. I'll never forget how beautiful and intimidating Texas Cyclone was... and how dang tight those curves and drops were.
  12. It looks great... I asked about the length b/c it definitely looks longer than the one at Dollywood. Waldameer can't go wrong, love the place. A rare class act, top notch everything. I'm a huge fan of Comet... that special smart AND classic station.
  13. Wow, that's gonna be a huge hit for them. Looks nice and long, does anyone know the lengths of the longest water coasters and where this lies? I seem to remember the Dollywood one was on the short side (after riding those at Holiday World especially).
