So I just got back from my amazing Orlando trip and Seaworld being one of my visits. Mako: B&M hypers are my favorite style coasters, and yes, from time to time, I understand how they "lack" intensity... Of course Mako doesn't have an amazing layout, BUT, after riding it, I was blown away. The airtime is by FAR the best out of any of the other B&M hypers I've ridden, which besides Mako are Raging Bull, Diamondback, Behemoth, Goliath SFoG. My first ride I sat in the front row and was shocked by the ejector air, nothing extreme, but much more than floater... and that First overbanked turn coming out of the first drop was great. My second ride was last row, of course the airtime on the back row is always that great "yank over the top" airtime, but I personally thought the airtime in the front row was better. Kraken: after reading reviews and the opinions of many on here, I will say this. It wasn't a great coaster but definitely decent. I liked the layout, pacing, and transitions, but of course because of its age, it was a tad rough, but not bad by any means. I guess the reason I liked it more than others is because it was my first floorless. Manta: I'm not to hip on flyers, but I thoroughly enjoyed Manta. Great layout that interacted well with the surroundings. Every once in a blue moon, flyers might give me a brief moment or 2 of dizziness or nausea, but Manta never did. Also, the pretzel loop IMO was more intense than the ones on the Supermans, it really gives you a great pop of air going in to the tops. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 B&Ms at SWO, and hope to see them continue to add to their collection.

Universal Orlando and Seaworld NEXT WEEK!!!

Well I have one good reason to say why I'm excited to ride it, out of the 33 B&Ms I've ridden, none have been a floorless... well, 3 are now, but they weren't converted until after I had ridden them. I have ridden all the other styles by B&M, so this will complete it for me.

Ah, found it, thank you, I obviously overlooked that on the website, thank you! Could you link where that is? I'm wondering as well for April When you go to the website, click on rides and the individual rides have their own links and it will tell you on each rides link

Ah, found it, thank you, I obviously overlooked that on the website, thank you!

Holy hell, if it isn't, I will swallow a whole bottle of aspirin.....

Well, that's usually one of the last full summer hour Sundays, but typically it isn't much different than other Summer Sundays, but depending on how the season is going, that Sunday can sometimes be a tad busier. Sundays usually get busier in the early afternoon, and sometimes even have the slight chance of some "rougher" and "rowdier" crowds. If you get there at opening, you should be able to get a whole bunch of rides in, that is as long as you have a plan. As almost any day, start at the bottom of the park and work your way up hitting the larger attractions first, as long as you get there at park open. Either pack a lunch or plan on eating around 11 or in mid afternoon, otherwise you'll waste a good chunk of your day waiting in lines. Of course this is all based on opinion, others will probably have other scenarios... your best bet is to ask this question again in late July

Well, I guess either no one knows or no one wants to help... oh, well, guess I'll just find out in 2 weeks

I will be heading to SWO end of Jan/ beginning of Feb. Does anyone know if any rides will be down during this time due to rehabs or because of time of year?...

In a few weeks - Universal Orlando and Seaworld This Spring - Holiday World, Mt. Olympus (not my choice), Timber Falls, SFGAm Summer - WoF, Dollywood, Carowinds, all the alpine coasters in the Smokies... well, that is if they're not charred Fall - SDC

Starting off with Universal Orlando for a few days, then SeaWorld. SFGAm this spring, along with SFSTL and WoF... then hopefully Dollywood and Carowinds... Should be hitting up SDC in the fall and

Spectacular crowds for the first night, well above what was expected... and word has it, THEY LOVE IT!

I was doubtful at first, but after finally seeing it all up and going, I am highly impressed. There are few things and a few areas that i think could be a little better, but overall, I think the crowds will be VERY HAPPY! You can't compare it to SDC, its different, there are some things about SFSTLs that I like better than SDC.

It got so quiet so quickly on here....

His time is already over... --Robb "Zero tolerance, bitches... zero tolerance..." Alvey I would like to apologize for "starting something" inadvertently, that wasn't my intention. I don't completely agree with some of Six Flags' decisions, but at least I know they're trying, and was just trying defend the park to someone who had nothing to contribute beforehand to the SFSTL board and slam it just because the ride was not liked and had nothing else to back up why, but I may have gone a tad too far.

If you'd like to take this to PM, that would be great, I'd be MORE than happy to be "enlightened" by ore of your kind words, but the public board is not the place for it.... I would like to spare everyone from continuing to hear your crying

THIS!!!! And DOUBLE THIS!!! TRIPLE THIS!!!! I really would like to believe that the people who post on our forums are "smarter than your average guest." And honestly, after the insane amount of CRAP I've seen posted this year, more than any other year on our forums, I need to take a zero tolerance policy and get rid of the crap. I want the forums to be someplace for "smart" theme park fans to discuss their visits, not look like your typical guest relations lines filled with horrible people complaining about the most mundane things. Sorry if I've been coming off as harsh lately, but I simply cannot take it anymore. Those of you who are not offended by it, well, you're exactly the kind of people we want here at TPR! ....and yet it continues

Oh don't worry, I'm done, not even worth my time

And what do you mean "appears" to be a Disko.... it IS a Disko!! If it looks like a Disko, is said to be a Disko, and is known to be a Disko, THEN ITS A DISKO!!!..... face palm Didn't Robb just go through the whole IDIOT thing.... Obviously some didn't get the message. Yeah, and I think I need to go through the whole bitchy a$$hole thing with you. Who gave you permission to attempt to trash me for no reason? I just said something innocent, and to be honest, I could mistake it for a piece of s**t because I think they're lame. Wow..... pathetic

And what do you mean "appears" to be a Disko.... it IS a Disko!! If it looks like a Disko, is said to be a Disko, and is known to be a Disko, THEN ITS A DISKO!!! Also, I like how your first post to the SFTSL board comes out of NOWHERE to b!tch about this ride.... Is SFTSL even your home park!!??..... If not, THEN WHY DO YOU CARE!? Didn't Robb just go through the whole IDIOT thing.... Obviously some didn't get the message. FACEPALM

It's better than nothing.... At least it's not a USED ride. Truthfully, I'm quite happy with this addition, Disko's are great small flats!

I have the simplest solution.... DON"T EAT THE TRASH FOOD AT THE PARK AND ALL THESE PROBLEMS GO AWAY! .......thank you, that is all.......
