Chasehat Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Was at the park today for a few hours. Holy hell are Superman and Wicked Cyclone are running awesome. Superman felt almost butter smooth like it was as SROS. Almost no rattle in the back on the blue train today. And Wicked Cyclone just gets better and better every time I ride it. Ops on both coasters are also much faster than they've ever been. Kudos to SFNE they've made some awesome improvements to the park this year.

thesman Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I'd be pretty satisfied if flashback just gets new trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Farmer Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I mean, one of the main concepts of the GIB (at least early on) was that you might valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Saturday they were sending trains off on Superman before the previous train returned to the brake run. That is something I can't remember seeing in the past.

michaellynn4 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Over/under for how long until the cars get dampened a la Great Adventure's version? Two weeks? Longer? Shorter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I better get more flips than SFMM's Green Lantern. The ride looks insane in that top section right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Over/under for how long until the cars get dampened a la Great Adventure's version? Two weeks? Longer? Shorter? Guess it depends on whether or not the cars get stuck on their Media Day, right? :/ Here's hoping everything goes smoothly, because... DANG, that's the sort of experience I was hoping for from the one in New Jersey. Flipperdoodles for days! \o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsdude360 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I wonder if the SFOT version will flip this much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightnin Loops Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 i bet NJ cut down on the flipping. The nanny state comes through again. Thank you NJ for protecting me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'm hoping to hit up SFNE on May 14th or the 21st. What kind of crowds should I expect, particularly for Superman and Wicked Cyclone? I've only been to SFNE once, and it was cold and early in the season, so those two weren't running at their full speed with full airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 It's tough to say, but you'll easily be able to ride everything without a Flash Pass on basically any operating day at SFNE. They get lines, but they're normally manageable. Wicked Cyclone's lines are usually between 15 and 30 minutes, Superman's lines rarely exceed a hour but could easily be much less.

BigBad Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 That's pretty good news. With any luck, everyone will be over at their new Joker coaster, though if it spins like it does in that one video, I might be, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The website is advertising that Joker is coming "Summer 2017!" so I wouldn't anticipate it being open on May 14th or 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pear Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'm betting Joker opens for Memorial Day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'll be mildly disappointed if Joker hasn't opened when I'm there, but that's not why I'm making the trip. I have my own Joker at Great Adventure that I got to ride the day that it was open last year. And if it is open, great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubber11 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The end of the parks POV video says season pass preview is May 20th and 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Sorry to disappoint, but the parks first POV video of Joker says opening May 27th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I can spin that as good news. That could keep people from going before the 27th so that they can ride the new coaster! Station waits for Superman and Wicked Cyclone FTW! And if it's not supposed to be open, then I won't be disappointed when I get there and it's closed.

coasterbill Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Okay, so it also says there's a Season Pass preview on the 21st. So I guess you'll want to factor that in to your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
