Planning a trip for July, do they shuttle you to the park from any of the hotels? -

At the park today and the Legend has been down apparently for three days, really hoping they get it back up and running before we leave as I don't know when I'll be back. -
Was present yesterday for the ERT on Pandemonium, and arrived at the park right after opening. It was a little crowded in the morning, however this was not reflected in the operations at the park. All but Miners Cook House was closed in the Lickskillet/Screampunk area, both Thunder River and the Log Jamboree were closed, as well as Blue Hawk, and worst of all, the Sky Buckets were not open either. And it was HOT! We decided to leave the park and return after getting some lunch, and the change was like night and day! All rides open besides Log Jamboree and Sky Buckets, station waits for everything, and plenty of overcast weather. Got 2 rides in on Pandemonium, one midday and one "night," and I'm digging it, super fun ride! We stayed till closing and got a good sunset ride on Goliath. Overall great day! Seeing Pandemonium from the top of the hill really puts everything in perspective. The lack of a shade canopy for the Que makes waiting in the hot sun terrible, though the infrastructure is there. Riders are counted and corralled before riding. Pandemonium looks amazing. All the neon on the Mind Bender sign is working and it looks AWESOME!

Going for the first time since 2011 so its been a minute. How is the park, mainly the condition of the rides? How are Raven/Legend/Voyage riding? Gonna be there two days in early June, probably Monday and Tuesday. So psyched! cant wait! -
Got to the park around 3 in the afternoon. Parking lot was semi full-but park was not super busy. Canopy shade structures were back at the posts by Goliath Games and Goliath was running very efficiently with trains not stacking as they often do. No work going on as far as I can tell at Pandemonium. (Hope that opens for Memorial Day Weekend) In other news, the boats at Splashwater Falls are gone and the lift/crane that hoisted them in and out of the water is now on its side. Left around 7, all in all good day! No noticeable work on Pandemonium RIP First time seeing Scorcher with its fresh coat of paint, looks great!!

First trip report of the Season! This was my first opening day so I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the crowds weren't too terrible for a Saturday. A brand new sign above the fountain was a great surprise. And now... Scorcher Paint shots! Looks so much better For the debate on whether Scorchers paint job is all primer or the finished product, the white looks to be primer while the grey could be the finshed product as it's glossy compared to the flat/matte color of the white. In other news, Goliath Games is gone! Was kind of disappointed that the only progress on Pandemonium has been land clearing and a sign, guess that's Six Flags for you. Nothing to see here... While all the track from the train has been cleared away, they're definitely reusing the old station. Work has started on the Screampunk theming. Sadly there was no backwards Scream Machine, but they did re-track some of the rougher parts, probably the best ride I've had on it in years! Splashwater Falls sits and awaits its demise. Overall a great start to the season, can't wait to go back again.
