This makes me wonder if Mindbender could be renamed after Dr. Mindbender of GI Joe. Hasbro does own the GI Joe property and maybe that could tie in the coaster with Havoc somehow.

1. Superman Escape From Krypton (was called Superman The Escape when I last rode it)
2. Steel Force
3. Alpengeist (have yet to go on that one though)
If we're only counting rollercoasters that we have been on, my number 3 would be Tower of Terror II

Thanks for all the help! It's been a fun, relaxing half day at the park today. Absolutely crazy-go-nuts busy, but that's to he expected here on a Saturday. That's why this was our pass processing day, and "bonus" day at the park. Tomorrow, we'll be here all day, and have FL+, so we'll really "do the park" tomorrow.
We got here at 4, and managed to circle the park, I drank a beer while we checked it out, then made Wonder Mountain Guardian our first ride! It was our first time on it, and I thought it was fun, primarily for the backwards down the drop experience, and then the ending, of course. We then got in Dragon Fyre, Wylde Night Mares, and Vortex, before getting in line for Leviathan. We also chilled and ate a little while rain blew through. All in all, not a bad score on a busy day like today!
So, we're presently in line for Leviathan, as we get our first ride on it for our last ride of the night. What do you guys think is the best place to sit on this beast? We have at least 20 minutes still, before getting on if you reply quick!
Thanks again for all the tips, and I'll be posting a picture TR when I'm back home next week. Until then, here's a shot I took that I liked!
The back is best for that drop, speed hill, and first giant hill over the entrance.

Looking at pictures of the KMG Tango online, it seems like most if not all of them are standing floorless. Makes me wonder how they would ride as I have never been one before.
-
I'm sure this was discussed before, when Justice League was put in, and the former water ride was themed to Aquaman, but do you suppose with this major new addition going in over there, there's any chance Pandemonium is re-themed to something DC?
Cyborg retheme of Pandemonium anyone? Could be called Cyborg Cyber Spin in that case
-
Hope they can restore the ride to how it originally is supposed to be run like its sister, Insane at Gröna Lund.
On a side note, is it me or is Vipère a bit of a weird name for this ride? Literally meaning "Viper" in French, this is supposedly themed after a venomous snake. The name would have been more fitting for a coaster with a longer train to be honest.
Perfect ride for La Ronde though.

Addendum: I knew what I was getting into of course, but some of those flats are. WTF :O
Which flats did you ride? Being that Wonderland is my home park, some are pretty cool.
-
40 degrees Fahrenheit, minimum temperature the ride can operate at

The park has everything running during HITP except for Mr. Freeze.
Freeze was open last HITP, for the first time. It wasn’t running both trains but it was open, as long as the temps were good. They also purchased another train from another Premier coaster that is no longer running. The name and park both slip my mind. It’s a red train and has been sitting in the back 40 of the parking lot under the covered tent waiting to get rehabbed. I was told that’s its a 3rd train to keep both sides going.
Red train eh? I could be wrong but that could very well be one of the trains of the Robin side of Batman and Robin: The Chiller that used to be at Six Flags Great Adventure.
-
Harley Quinn Spinsanity eh? Imagine it being a S&S Free Spin with one rail white, one rail red, and black supports.
-
Tantrum at Six Flags Darien Lake, the past weekend. That ride was more forceful than I expected it to be, especially with only lap bars on the ride.
-
I've got two amusing experiences. One was at Canada's Wonderland on Sledge Hammer when a friend of mine was stapled and complained that his balls were hurting the rest of the day.
Another was that while on Rolling Thunder at Six Flags Darien Lake, I saw what looked like a credit card fall out of someone's pocket while upside down. Secure your loose articles, people.
-
Why do I have a feeling that the Mountain Bay Cliffs could be a lawsuit waiting to happen? A cool addition nonetheless.
-
Anybody know about what the status on Ride of Steel is by any chance? I could've heard wrong, but apparently I heard that there are 6 rows blocked off so far on the one train they have. I hope the back row is not blocked off when I am there next weekend.
Coasters you have been on that are gone now
in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
