Roar was operating today! Although I didn't see any RMC, I did hear two of the ride ops mention the name "Roar Reloaded". I wouldn't get your hopes up, they could have just been joking around as they seemed younger and doubt that they'd have real intel. Sky Jumper seems to have been down all season, any idea as to why? Rode Wonder Woman today and it's a great addition to the park. A thrilling attraction that a larger guest like me can fit on! I did see some other "round" guests get turned away, but for me it was easy peasy. Very scary, and the random soundtrack selection is a great touch. Good work Six Flags, especially tying it in with her movie release! *edit - spelling

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
CaptainCrush replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm heading down to Kings Dominion next week for the first time since I was a child. How accommodating are the roller coasters for large guests? Which coasters should I try and which stay away from? For reference, I can't fit on any B&M coaster. -
Any coaster is better than no coaster. It is still thrilling and has a fun DC Comics theme. On that note, Great Adventure doesn't have any Superhero meet and greets? I asked the character attendant if any of them would be out today and she responded saying they never visit this park! Come on Six Flags! SFA in Maryland has Batman roaming, heck even SFNE has The Flash meeting! but Great Adventure doesn't have any? SFGAdv, step your character game up. You have so many DC themed rides, have the characters out taking pictures!

Was at the park this morning, from rope drop to about 3pm. I was expecting the park to be crazy for the holiday but it was pretty empty! Did the waterpark pools and a couple slides with no wait, then made my way over to dry park. Roar and Wild one had 2 train waits, and Gotham coasters had roughly the same, if not slightly longer. A lot more entertainment options, now the Block Party and Mardi Gras show are running! Also a lot more diverse lineup of characters. Batman was meeting in Gotham City while the Joker and Riddler characters roamed around Gotham messing with guests. At the front of the park Granny was meeting with Sylvester and Tweety, and Lola was with Bugs. Also according to one of the character escorts, for the opening of Lasso of Truth, the full Justice Leuge will be meeting at the park that day. That'll be a good photo op! Food lines weren't too bad, although the park could use one or two more restaurants. I had the Bacon Cheesburger from Gotham Food Court and it was okay! Patty was dry, but fresh lettuce and tomato compensated for that.

visited on opening day! Parking lot was crowded but inside of park was not. Less than 10 minute waits for every ride. They've blocked the pathway to Superman so you have to cut through Whistlestop. Wild One was running great for a 100 year old ride, loved the decals on the trains. Also seems like there are less food choices for the dining plan this year! I wish the mexican place was on it.

Went Sunday evening and MAN was the park crowded compared to before. Wild One was a 4 train wait, compared to walk-on last weekend. Rajun Cajun had a solid 20-30 min line all night. Around 6ish the lines died down, and rides were only 1-2 train wait. Most shows were packed, and food places had long lines. Didn't see the special Holiday fries, but I got Chicken Tenders with regular fries from Aviator Grille and Hot Cocoa! The park was sold out of the Cocoa Souvenir Cups, so if you got one you're lucky! Plenty of characters out and about, Santa Bugs Bunny, Daffy the Elf, and Tweety & Sylvester in generic winter wear. Overall saw the Stunt Show and Jingle Jam, rode Roar, Wild One, and Reindeer's Flight once, and had dinner. Will post pics later!

Thanks guys! Now I know I consume roughly 192 ounces of Coca Cola everytime I visit. What is wrong with me. -
Six Flags Corporate Discussion Thread

Random Question : Does anybody know how much liquid the Six Flags Sports Bottles hold? I'm thinking like 32 oz but I didn't know if there is an official volume. -
Went on Sunday and oh my goodness. I LOVED HOLIDAY IN THE PARK! So much fun and the whole experience was great. Went for rope-drop and stayed till around 5pm. First up, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck were out meeting on Main Street, so I got a pic with them and went on my way. Took a ride on the Cocoa Mixer, Peppermint Swirl, and Roar before taking a break to see some shows. No lines for the rides THE WHOLE DAY. Only wait was if you wanted to wait for a specific seat, or til the train came back from it's course (only running one train on the rides). The Stunt Show was funny and Home for the Holidays was so well done for an amusement park show. Really tugged at my heartstrings and made me tear up! The Hot Cocoa was decent and I had the Ham dinner from the Saloon which was mediocre. After lunch, I went and rode Reindeer Flight, Wild One, The Flying Swings and the Carousel. Def reccomend coming and seeing the beautiful park!!!
