DBJ Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 For parents, there are a few options. But the less intense rides are the remaining water rides (3), Collosuss, Goldrusher, Apocalypse, Superman. There are 6 flats, classic fairground style. Depending on the tolerance for spinning, some options there. Goliath might be pushing it because of the helix. I don't consider Lex to be intense, very smooth and comfortable experience really, unless the guest is afraid of heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Finn Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thank you guys for your help but I actually meant June 3rd, not Memorial Day by 'next Monday.' Does they change how we should attack things? Will flash pass be necessary then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 It probably won't be half as busy, and considering you also won't care about the rides with the longest lines, I don't think you'll need a flash pass if you aren't going on the holiday, you should be fine.

Sir Clinksalot Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 You'll be fine on the 3rd. Most schools are still in session until at least the end of that week. Next Week (Tues-Thu) and the following week are probably the last weeks where it won't be too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The one thing I've never heard anyone say is that the original X was a smooth ride. That was one of the most painful rides there was, and was right up there with White Canyon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 ^ Actually I could just have been lucky but my rides on X (all in 2007) were smoother than most of my rides on X2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Im shocked X2 is rough again, outstanding concept, crappy engineering i guess. Anyone who has ridden all 4D coasters..cough cough Robb, are they all rough? Â EDIT:Well catching up on the thread, it seems they literally beat the crap out of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 ^ To be fair he said the jury is still out on Dinoconda because it's smooth now but it's brand new, we have to wait and see if it degenerates like the other two. 4D is still an amazing ride..I wish other designers like B&M would attempt it and try to improve...but 4D are so ridiculously expensive to build and maintain I can see why theyd rather focus on wingriders.

TyRush Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 ^I see...itis a shame no other manufacturer has tried this. Maybe b&m will one day make the wing coaster with rotating seats. But thats in my dreams as it wouldnt suit their compamy profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 ^ Actually I could just have been lucky but my rides on X (all in 2007) were smoother than most of my rides on X2. I think smooth is all relative. I can tell you with great certainty that there is no way X was ever "smooth" in 2007. And I'm talking in a technical term like putting an accelerator on the ride and measuring forces and lateral movements. Â Maybe it was smooth "to you", but there is no way that ride ran smooth in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoplemoverMatt Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Neither X or X2 were ever smooth. Never. Whether it's been slightly less rough in the past or whatever, it's a very minor difference. From the first day it opened, X/X2 has always felt like someone whacked me in the stomach with a baseball bat multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe instead of "smooth" I should just say "not painful" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFMMGeek27 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Good to see testing begin! Yesterday I got one of the smoothest rides on X2 I've ever had! No headbanging whatsoever! Put the heavier person on the outside and you will be pleasantly surprised. Never ride in a row by yourself and never put the heavier person in the inside. Those are fatal mistakes. Â Also, parking just went up again to $18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyinpeace Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 ^ I agree! X2 surprised me! In fact it was one of the highlights of my grad night yesterday. I was in line teaching my friend how to defensively ride and had him sit on the inside seat even though he's twice my body weight. To make it worse, they were assigning seats and had us sit on row 7 of train 3. The result was an extremely comfortable and painless ride. The last raven turn didn't even do its injustice! I don't know what it was, but I have a feeling that was a one in a lifetime experience. I also have to give mad props to the Batman team. They literally sprinted down the rows checking harnesses even though there was practically no line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmeister Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Love the trains. I wasn't at first, but I'm genuinely excited for Full Throttle now. Plus I love the sound of Premier launched coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simaticable Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 At least we know that now they can get the coaster open by the end of July at this point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
