Thanks for the great update Chad, this is just looking like an insane ride!

I was at Six Flags Great America once and had the funniest ride on Whizzer that i've ever had because the people behind me were freaking out. First, they couldn't figure out how to buckle their seatbelt. Then I went reaching and grabbing for leaves like usuaul and the girl was like "OH SHIT HE BE GRABBIN LEAVES AND TOUCHING THE GROUND HIS FINGERS ARE GONNA GET CHOPPED OFF AND HE"S GOING TO FALL OUT!!! HE ALMOST TOUCHED THE WATER, A SNAKE COULD HAVE GOTTEN HIM!!!" Yes, a snake, of course, because you get so close to the water (you don't).

Am I the only one that thinks The Beast is a tad on the boring side? It's big but doesn't really do a whole lot and whenever it picks up speed it's trimmed.

I think that crate is a bit too small for a Star Flyer

There budget wasn't big enough to have him on screen for more than 2 minutes.

Those protein bars didn't help them out at all throwing those lit fireworks overboard.

I'll be there tonight, can't miss this cinematic mastery.

Ahh, the memories. Jimmy the Greeks was delicious, wish I was hungrier when we went

The people in that group are as bad as the FP haters here if not worse. Ahh, that was a fun way to waste a night on the internet. Blaze, yes the guy's name is actually Blaze, has based his entire argument about one time at Kings Island where they waited four hours to ride Diamondback because Fast Lane people kept hopping back in line. Not sure he realizes how many people are needed to quadruple your wait time. Here's some more crazy.

Well this one isn't a rumor, although I have no idea if it's going to be wood or steel. Wait, I thought the new coaster was going to replace the antique cars? Of course it still is a rumor at this point.

You'll only hear pop music in line for some of the bigger rides that have TVs in the queue, but everywhere else around the park i've heard each section's theme music.

I thought you just planted a couple seeds in the ground, water them daily, and a coaster will grow?

Sparkler has a bit of testing action going on.

It's located where the antique cars and Splashwater Falls used to be across from Buccaneer Battle.

Guess i'll throw my update from opening day into the mix as well. But first, HD video of X-Flight testing! It's Batman's 20th birthday this year! They had balloons at the entrance and a banner. Iron Wolf is wearing it's invisibility cloak. Magiquest space is empty too. New paint! It's all Coke colored now because of the new Freestyle machines inside. The kiddie cars has a tree! Instead of driving around inside a fenced in grassy area you get to drive around a tree! Screw X-Flight, best addition this year. Antique cars are still underneath Dare Devil Dive. Season pass processing line was long, but only because it was opening day. They've expanded processing into the pizza place next door, but i'm guessing it's only temporary. And then there's X-Flight Signage on the station Really looks great in this section of the park! People working hard Hangar in place Queue line goes through the keyhole Renamed shops for X-Flight Grass is ready to grow and on-ride cameras ready to be mounted The water section Station Looking towards the keyhole Snazzy Just a dude and his wheelbarrow They're re-working the train tracks to go underneath X-Flight X-Flight testing Wing envelope Keyhole is pretty big in person I mean the entire train has to go through it First drop Zero-G! X-Flight is ridiculously quiet, no huge B&M roar The pacing and speed look great too, can't wait to ride Testing some lighting in the queue line and station too Dropping in And that's X-Flight, opening soon!

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't try recreating all of Cedar Point this summer with my friend in Minecraft. Here are just some rough ideas for Pink's, tables, the sky ride, skeeball, and pinball.

I thought they were going to take out one of the car rides for the new coaster? Or am I making that up.

City Museum, awesome place, what else can I say. I need to head over there next time i'm in St. Louis! And the place is just insanely cool. They just found a new tunnel today, one they hadn't even known about before. Sweet pics!

Watched the video, started laughing hysterically when that one fountain started wiggling back and forth for no reason. None of the different show elements blended together at all. The fountains did their own thing, the projections did their own thing, the fireworks did there own thing. It was just a giant clip show with no emotion or entertainment value with some fountains thrown in. World of Color seems way better than this "Cinematic Spectacular" because it actually did something. Even the Morgan Freeman narration couldn't save it. Nice try Universal.

Say what you will, but it was confirmed by the park. Link

Looks amazing as usual!

Here's another picture they posted on Twitter.

Holy GIF Batman! Loved all of the pictures and effort you put into the report Bebes, West Coast Bash looked like a ton of fun.

Think you guys are missing the best part about Luminosity, there's going to be a strippers! There's a pole 27 seconds in, I can only assume that's what it's there for.

First test runs are usually pretty slow on B&M coasters, it'll speed up a bit. That hangtime looks great though!
