Canobie Coaster Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I walked by Flashback around 7:40 when it was stuck and by 8 the train was already down. It seems like they fixed it quickly this time. Riding Joker in 10 days for the first time. My first ever 4D credit...Then it's Green Lantern and X2 another 10 days later Wow... well enjoy your ride on Joker because it's all downhill from there. There's a chance he loves X2. Or he could hate it. There's really no in between on that ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I heard from my cousins boyfriends sisters stepuncle that they fixed Flashback so quickly so they could start to tear it down. Hope yall got your last rides in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasehat Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I should also note that I got the best rides tonight that I have ever gotten on Superman (have been riding it since 07). The train was absolutely hauling and every hill had strong ejector air. If it rides like that into the summer, Wicked Cyclone may be dethroned as my favorite ride there. Oh my God I thought I was the only one who thought this. I don't know what they did to it but It's been absolutely amazing so far this season and it's awesome.

Vonni Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 So does this make four times Flashback has valleyed this season? I've lost count lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Only 3 valleys so far. This one was being stuck on the lift hill instead; however, they got the train down really quickly this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he could hate it. There's really no in between on that ride. I must be the exception to the rule, then, because I neither love the ride, nor hate it. It's just "ok" in my book. I mean, I'd probably rank it in the bottom of my Top 5 at SFMM based on the last time I went there (Pre TC and YOLO), and there were moments on it I enjoyed it. But then again, there were moments on it where I was like... At least it's light years better than the dumpster fire that is Green Lantern!

Canobie Coaster Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Wow you are the exception. I love X2 for the intensity and the ride is "bouncy" on outside seats but never enters uncomfortable territory for me. I always start of Green Lantern thinking it will be better but then it crushes my nuts on the first raven turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoulderDash Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I went to a commercial/b-roll shoot for the Joker yesterday and rode 24 times. The ride is very smooth but is not spinning as much as they were advertising. They were saying 4-8 spins before but that is not even close. I rode the green side 14 times and spun twice each time and I rode the purple side 10 times and did not spin at all. It is a little disappointing because the pov they posted showed around 10 spins, they have been saying 4-8 spins, and their website says up to 6 spins or more. But overall it is a solid addition that guests will love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 ^ All of that is exactly what happened with Great Adventure's Joker last year. Maybe the similarities will continue and yours will start breaking down all the time like ours does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Haha though I haven't seen Goliath have break down yet this year. It was down due to weather but that's to be expected with that ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 For the locals... does this park tend to get crowded over Memorial Day weekend usually? I've only been to this park once and it was with TPR so we had lots of extras. I am from Baltimore and used to Six Flags America never getting crowded where you need the Flash Pass. Trying to get a really rough idea if we should get one Saturday or not? We'll be at the park all day Saturday and Sunday until closing and we want as many rides as possible on the coasters - especially at night. We're making Saturday a dry side day and Sunday the water park day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 You could easily ride every major coaster on Saturday with time for some re-rides but Flash Pass would be extremely beneficial if you want as many rides as possible. Keep an eye on prices though since I honestly think this park smokes the good stuff when it comes to Gold and Platinum Flash Passes (the regular and Gold Flash pass are actually more expensive than at Great Adventure which is completely insane). I'd suggest hitting Joker at rope drop, riding Mind Eraser before VR starts at 2 PM and getting a regular Flash Pass. You'll basically never get burned on a Flash Pass at this park since rides like Pandemonium, Goliath and Thunderbolt pretty much always have lines even on slow days because of their low capacity and it's a a guarantee that every coaster in the park will have a decent wait on Saturday.

I was there on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend last year with beautiful weather and never waited more then 15-20 minutes for Superman or Wicked Cyclone but if you're doing the water park it could be packed because Sunday is supposed to be nice.

We're making Saturday a dry side day and Sunday the water park day. The park also has plenty of single rider lines to help if it gets packed. They are offered on the following: - Batman Dark Knight (Flash Pass line, unmarked so check with attendant before entering) - Goliath (Halfway through the normal queue, may be able to skip to it depending on the attendant) - Joker (Near the end of the normal queue) - Pandemonium (Flash Pass line, unmarked) - Scream- (Flash Pass line, marked) Wicked Cyclone's line is about an hour if it's backed up to the entrance area. Superman can get up to 60-90 minutes on a nice weekend day. I highly recommend the back on Wicked Cyclone and the front on Superman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thank you everyone!! I did notice the prices - so crazy! We won't be riding single rider lines. I am obsessed with coasters but not enough to not enjoy them with my BF. I do not go to parks just to ride rides. I go to actually enjoy them and have a good time with the people I am with. I've been to the park back in 2011 with TPR so I know all about the front and back of Superman - we had 2 hours of ERT on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Had a blast this past weekend at the park. This was my first visit since back in 2011. This is definitely a better ran Six Flags park (keep mind I have not been to them all). The employees actually seemed like they wanted to be there unlike at my home park of Six Flags America. All of the coasters were running. Joker went down for a bit Saturday but they had it back up and running very quickly. Quick notes Good: - The park was beautiful with very little trash on the ground. The flowers were taken care of and well landscaped. - All of the rides looked like they were in decent to great shape - LOVE LOVE LOVE the new trains on Mind Eraser - its like a completely different ride. I wish Six Flags would replace them all with the new trains/restraints. - They have an awesome water park - Loved that I would use the season food option at Johnny Rockets - Loved all of the Gold Peak iced tea stands that have been added since I try to not drink a lot of soda. - Goliath was surprisingly smooth Bad: - Not enough food options. They have LOTS AND LOTS of food stands but they all sell the same things. I was tired of seeing fries everywhere. At least Six Flags America has way better side options with the main meals. - I would not pick my seat on Goliath, Flashback, and Batman. Not a big deal but I like to get a front and back seat on every coaster. I especially wanted a front seat on Goliath. - Another Six Flags with the bag storage rule but only on certain rides. - They should move all the fun activities they do in the main square to less crowded part of the park.

Chasehat Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 ^ Yay! Goliath may be smooth! If my rides on it 2 weeks ago were any indication it isn't smooth in the slightest.... In fact, I honestly don't know what coaster I hate more Golaith or that dumpster fire POS down in Jersey Green Lantern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
