Genx24 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 ^ I hope they don't consider removing Blizzard River. It's one of the best rapids rides I've ridden (admittedly, I haven't been on many but it's still really good.) I do agree that it could use some TLC though. The penguins in the station seem to be caked in about two inches of dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind Idiot God Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 When I was there last year there was no single rider line for WC, and early entry for (gold?) pass holders was... wait for it... 10 minutes. But I'm sure a local could help more. They added one on around the tail end of the season and used it intermittently, though I was able to infer from a conversation with an attendant that they had had numerous issues with groups abusing the line.

BoulderDash Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think it is funny they couldn't put row 5-2 back even though every other park is able to put the Samsung box on the train without removing any seats. The trains do look good though, wish they would keep the headrests off but they don't look very intrusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx24 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Looks gorgeous. Glad Six Flags is spreading the money around so the parks can renovate their rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixelRush Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I saw in a picture before it was repainted that there was a sky mural on the back of a building. Is that still there, or was that for another ride (the picture perspective seemed strange)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleRider Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I saw in a picture before it was repainted that there was a sky mural on the back of a building. Is that still there, or was that for another ride (the picture perspective seemed strange)? I think that the "sky mural" you're thinking of was just the roof of the Bumper Cars building. It was kinda shiny from the reflection of the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindexCyanide13 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Amateur editing job, but this is what the new Superman headrests will be like. Wish there were none, but whatever. They're better than Bizarros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil009 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Headrests are in general a pretty silly thing to complain about... but it is awfully strange. Who thought this ride needed headrests? Who is the human being making this decision and what reasoning or logic went into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixelRush Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 The greatest part about this being painted red again is that when the top layer of paint wears out (from the wheels), you actually have more red under that from the end of the Bizarro era!!! And yes, those trains are looking damn spicy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindexCyanide13 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I'm so excited for Superman, don't get me wrong. I just don't understand why they even needed to add headrests in the first place. They're no ponder necessary as there is no on ride audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPmillenia94 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Seems like the money they poured into new headrests could have easily gone into fixing the restraint pads.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindexCyanide13 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Seems like the money they poured into new headrests could have easily gone into fixing the restraint pads.. They actually got new restraints. It is the same one, but it looks as if there has been minor reshaping. No they aren't the most comfortable, but I don't feel as if they affect the ride too much.

I Like Theme Parks. Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Seems like the money they poured into new headrests could have easily gone into fixing the restraint pads..

I thought the restraints before were okay. They weren't painful or anything, just a little bit awkward and annoying. And I agree that they don't ruin the ride all that much, since the coaster is in my top 10 steel coasters! So some re-shaping is all the restraints need in my opinion.
