Canobie Coaster Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Was anyone able to make it to the park to check out Harley Quinn for the membership preview? I wanted to go but had a few graduations this weekend. I'm interested in hearing how lomg the cycle is since I know what kind of air these things are capable of providing.

Blind Idiot God Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Planning on heading to the park Friday. Anyone know how the crowds will be? School is still in session with only half the colleges out. Any events going on that day that will cause it to be crowded? Fridays at this time of year have lighter crowds, but make up for it with lots of (often loud, annoying, and poorly-behaved) school groups.

thrillrider Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 There is a park over in Europe(I think), that has done a nude event in the past. I hope they ssanitized the seats really good. I think I would skip that event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG-77 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Just out of curiousity, how does S:TR’s ride compare to S:ROS @SFA’s restrains? I’ve heard many complaints about the SFNE S:TR but I haven’t gotten a good explanation of what makes them bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard many complaints about the SFNE S:TR but I haven’t gotten a good explanation of what makes them bad. They’re really really bulky and hit closer to the thighs, which when stapled makes the huge ejector air the ride has very painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 ^ He hit the nail on the head. The "lap bar" is a misnomer. It's more of a thigh bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesman Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Went to the park yesterday thought it would be empty with little cars in the parking lot was let down with the hundreds of buses and school kids. Harley Quinn is amazing and a great addition to the park, its much faster and goes higher than you think. Superman ran great, wicked cyclone ran okay and also had a really good talk with another enthusiast. Thunderbolt had no trims on and the ending to the ride is absolutely insane. Still problems with long lines for food but its getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 ^ I think you're more likely to see her at the park again than on this forum. Glad to hear Harley Quinn is excellent. I figured as much after riding the one at Over Texas, but good to hear to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasehat Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Stopped at the park yesterday and today. Harley Quinn is amazing and definitely is my favorite flat in the park now. Superman ran phenomenal yesterday and then was just other worldly tonight. Wicked Cyclone wasn’t running good at all. There was a really weird grinding noise coming from the wheels in the back of the orange train and it was really chugging through the 2nd half of the ride. Unfortunate because prior to about 2 weeks ago it was running amazingly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Just out of curiousity, how does S:TR’s ride compare to S:ROS @SFA’s restrains? I’ve heard many complaints about the SFNE S:TR but I haven’t gotten a good explanation of what makes them bad. Like others have said, they are extremely bulky and sit mid-thigh. I also think there is very little leg/knee room, and I'm only 5'10". This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I GREATLY prefer Skyrush's lap bars. They also sit mid-thigh, but they seem to conform to the body a little more comfortably. They get tight, but it's not an awkward, painful tight like on Superman. At least for me...

cal1br3tto Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Glad to hear Harley Quinn is excellent. I figured as much after riding the one at Over Texas, but good to hear to confirm. And I figured as much after riding the one at SFDK. Of the pendulum ride types, this is one of the ones that seems to be consistently good, and is one of the more forceful models by far.

IDK....we went today mostly for water which was a bit of a disaster with the crowds and heat and long food lines but when they closed the water side at 7pm my 11 yr old was all “daddy let’s ride wicked cyclone before we go” And I was all “heck ya let’s go”.....it felt great.....first ride on it since last year.....wait was about 25 min....shorter than the other coasters after the water side closed.....all in all the WC ride was the highlight of the visit....pretty sure I prefer cooler wetter days to cut down on the crowds.....I once rode Superman in blinding rain....then they closed the park 15 min after we got off the ride....immensely more enjoyable to put up with annoying weatherthan annoying crowds.....goes true too for cold weather during HITP.....cold rides on Batman were so worth it....4 rides in 15 min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice1972 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I haven’t ridden enough coasters to know if it’s running great or not.....today Wicked Cyclone seemed awesome.....we were in the middle of the train which is nice sometimes cuz it eliminates the hold back in the front and the pull o we in the back and gives a freer ride.....loved it.....love knowing the ride enough to twist my body into the direction changes.....amazing.....tht ride really is something....my 11 yr old really loved it too.....
