Steelinwood Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Judging by there ratings, I honestly think it really wasn't the best move to have an addition like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaMiTsPaT Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 ^Thank you for sharing those pictures, I am actually excited about Flashback's new paint job because the old paint was disgusting. As for the splash island... again, hopefully 2011 will bring something to make the park better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acq10uaz Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Sorry for the double post. Here are some more posted on their Facebook page. Construction on the new Johnny Rockets starts It will be like the one in Rockville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Its opening day today and during testing Bizarro valleyed. It is done for the day. Check out the live updates from the park @ SFNEOnline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 That's really lame, you would think they would know better by now! How cold is it? Why weren't water dummies on during testing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Its 50 out right now. It was colder earlier. I know they've been testing them with water dummies the past couple weeks but I have no clue why they didn't do it for morning testing. I also know that Catapult is closed and Scream was closed earlier. Both are S&S and they can't run under 40 degrees. They'll probably be opening soon. I had a feeling something would happen so I didn't bother going this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelinwood Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Well, I'm glad I didn't waste my time today. I was jealous at first of my friends who were going, but now, not so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidcoaster 2 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Perhaps they got behind. Nothing really to get upset over, I am sure they will finish it by next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 ^^ Looks like the ride was at least open? ^ I think the point is that so many parks have all season long to get things ready. Why do so many of them wait until the very last minute, or in some cases not even bother until the season has begun, to prepare rides for opening when they knew the date that the park was supposed to be ready?

acq10uaz Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 ^Its still running, but like mostly everything else, it opened at 12:00. ^^They had a perfect off season. Massachusetts had maybe one or two big snow storms this year. There hasn't been snow on the ground since the middle of February. Buzzsaw doesn't have its sign on it. Flashback got repainted and personally, I don't think the new paint scheme goes along with the blue and yellow trains. I'm just disappointed because they had so much time to get these things done. I am glad I didn't go today. From reading their wall comments on Facebook it seems like more than just me is disappointed. I was told that they are low on staffing. Lastly, I'm not sure if Blizzard River is open because I heard it's still a mess from the mud slide a month ago that I doubt they made any progress on. I'm just upset with my home park right now. EDIT: I was just told that everything is finally open except for Bizarro, for obvious reasons and video of the valley happening is coming later today.

At least you guys still have your alpine bobs ride while SFA removed theirs for no good reason at all other than the desire to make the park a worse value than it already is.

YoshiFan Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Sounds like opening day of Great Adventure last year where Nitro also vallyed during a test run, the bad thing about that was not only was it closed all of opening day but didn't open up for 5 or 6 days after that (the park was on daily operations for Spring Break week).

nepatsfan1 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I was there today and saw it valley. THe one thing that tick me off is I am not a super fat person but I have a large chest. Man those B&M Restraints seem different now. It barely clicked in for me and batman it got rough n the final corkscrew. I only spent 4.5 hours in the park and got on a grand total of 4 rides because of the crowds. at least I finally got my pandemonium credit. It's been 5 years since I last went to SFNE. I doubt Bizarro will be open tomorrow either from what I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 That will be a real bummer if they don't get it open for tomorrow! As much as I am NOT a Cedar Point/Cedar Fair fanboy, I'll never forget being at CP and watching MF Valley...they had the ride back open later that day!!!!
