Like FCE I'll probably not ride it again. My youngest (now 15) hasn't wanted to ride FCE since its 2nd season. And with DF out of the way, we'll probably just leave it to the younger set (and their families) it was built for.

RMC makes Freespin track Not the same. As far as I know it's S&S designed so built to their specs. That's like calling the 737 a Sprit Aero (who builds the fuselage) instead of Boeing. To count as RMC (to me) it needs to use one of their track designs. Topper, I-Box, T-Rex, or Raptor.

Same as any new coaster there. Even after a few years Firechaser regularly has 3x the wait of anything else. And remember WE lines out to the statue? LR lines to Rampage entrance? But I stood in the DF queue for over an hour the one time I rode it so yes it's not a lot of people. And agree capacity is low. I figure it'll be better next year and take pressure of FCE. Win win.

A 3rd Golden Lasso/Railblazer clone?That'd be cool, but capacity would suck. Free Fly? That's not really RMC. And only 1 built in 10 yrs? Doubtful. Eck meant Freespin, stupid Green Lateran is on my mind Freespin is still S&S, not RMC. Likely since SF already has 7. RMC T-Rex would be the alternate to raptor, but there aren't any yet and I doubt this will be the first. A 3rd raptor clone is the only likely RMC option. We'll know soon I guess.

It's a lot of fun. Much more than expected for a family coaster. A few inversions and it'd be outstanding.

Last year was weird. They had them early for a while related to new area. Then they stopped and didn't come back for a few weeks. But for sure Nov when they reopen for Christmas.

Well early on there was failure to launch and partial launch (shut down before it cleared the last LSM). Both were safety systems tripping and stopping. I don't think there's been a true rollback where it just didn't have enough to top the hill. And any rides that have roll backs just reset and go. LR is always clear and test before riders go again because it was a safety shutdown.

Wonder if it's the heat. Have to think it's a factor. It had been a bit warmer than normal the last few weeks.

Dollywood has a central measurement station like that and different color bands for different heights.

Concur. Didn't see that in TX or NE. Though last (only) 2 times I paid, you could move from location to location. With the pass & dining on my phone, season drink bottle and a secure pocket I don't carry much now. Their loss. I have no funds on me to spend or anywhere to put purchases, so I don't make any.

Isn't that the SF way? I certainly don't think of SF for original, one of a kind rides. Or even custom versions. I've surprised at the variation with the Cyclone conversions. But a water ride to replace a water ride would be better than a dry ride.

Pretty sure Seddy directed that at the S&S 4D not the MPS. But anything is better than a defunct, non-operational ride.

↑ this. LOL

That was my point (sarcastically). None of the holiday stuff Dolly has done is Oscar worthy. So I never would expect such from the current one. Add in the Hallmark name and there was never a question.

Guess you haven't seen the two NBC movies, Coat of Many Colors and Christmas of Many Colors, or A Smoky Mountain Christmas from '86.

This season? As far as I've seen it's been up nearly every day this season. Check the link you posted recently. Link Shows it was up this week. I don't have time to look back right now, but the data is there.

Look back through this thread. Tons of responses to similar questions. As for TimeSaver also discussed a lot. I doubt a Mon or Tue will be very busy.

Nice to hear from someone else that didn't find GASM terrible and that likes Schorcher. Sadly I don't think Superman will get any live anytime soon. The trains need a serious overhaul and it feels like they are limping it along until they decide s replacement. That said I did find the manual operation unsettling, just sad. Seriously cuts down the throughput as loading takes 2-3x as long as it should. I wonder if the other bay is even operational. It'd sure help when the lIne is 90+ minutes.

Moat wait time apps are location sensitive. So you only see the times when in (or near) the respective park. Also requires location services be enabled.

Depends on the rider. My son and I (~5'10") have no issues with it. My daughter (~5'4") can't get comfortable.

Past seasons LR has been having problems. If it continues running well I expect it will have ERT. Will it be after dark is anyone's guess. Summer nights (til 9:30) starts this weekend and run through Aug 4.

And don't forget you can reserve a seat for some shows with TimeSaver. I think all the indoor theaters.

Regular is 10 total uses, once on LR (actually 2 if you don't use on Dropline). The spaces get punched out as used. https://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/files/thumb_20170528_094530.jpg Unlimited is unlimited, all rides. No punches to track usage. http://www.5wills.net/wow_pictures/pigeon_forge/IMG_2550.jpg

I didn't notice it last Sat, but it never really bothered me either. They did do some track work in that area during the last extended down period.
