Canobie Coaster Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Superman is very good in the back, but I think the front seat is the truly special seat. The air seems more intense up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro1118 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Superman is very good in the back, but I think the front seat is the truly special seat. The air seems more intense up there. Agreed completely. Since my first rides on it back in 2004 I have always felt the front was better. The ejector is stronger, the view is obviously better, and nowadays a lot less shuffling up front.

Canobie Coaster Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 In past years I've noticed the shuffling in the rows outside of the front, but the ride has been running extremely smooth in the back this year along with running faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logrog04 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Me and my family are going to the park for rope drop, one of our favorite rides, Pandemonium always gets a long line, We live and 1 1/2 a way South of Albany, NY, What are the odds we can no to minimum wait Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I've always just done the single rider line on Pandemonium and get on in less than 5 minutes. It's poorly marked (if it's even marked at all) but you go up the Flash Pass ramp and just tell the grouper you're a single rider. Not sure what the main wait would be immediately after rope drop but I can't see that being the first ride for too many people. The line will build up quickly though and be over an hour for sure.

coneyislandchris Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Yeah, if you have a family with you and want to get on with a minimum of waiting, it's pretty smart to hit Pandemonium at rope drop then carry on back towards WC. That line can easily grow to a 30-60 minute wait in no time flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logrog04 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I got to Pandemonium at rope drop, some kid started to SCREAM and CRY on Hodinni, His mother was Mortified. Besides that Great Day! Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 The pre-show on Houdini probably would have freaked me out as a kid as well. Tower of Terror's did that to me my first two times at Disney. Thankfully my dad wasn't going to force a crying child on the ride. Granted I probably would have liked the ride, but that's still not great parenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great ride though. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njcoasterguy34 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 You need to get down to Jackson, NJ and ride Great Adventure's Houdini. It's much better than the one at SFNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfriday1998 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Back on the parenting thing, I was on Blizzard River and a kid was freaking out about possible splash cannons on the ride. I assured her as an experienced rider that there was no surprises and told her about the waterfalls. She was still freaking out during the ride and the mother threatened to leave ASAP after the raft ride if she didn't chill. Awkward ride since it was just me and their family. Nevertheless, still a fun rapids ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logrog04 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yeah, I remember being a kid on the Blizzard River and sitting with people who didn't know English, my parents told me it was an akward ride Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollingCoasting Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 http://www.agawam.ma.us/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_08172017-399 Looks like the park is getting a Zamperla Giant Discovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliHorton Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 ^^ YES! I love Zamperla Giant Discoveries. They are definitely in my top five favorite flat rides. I wonder where they will put it? Anybody have any good ideas on where it can go? I was thinking it could replace Tomahawk but something tells me they won't get rid of it considering Six Flags New England has back to back Boomerangs.

BoulderDash Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 99% sure it is going in the south end of the park. I believe they are going to be doing some rearranging with the flats including a removal of one unfortunately. Very excited about this though.

Canobie Coaster Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Great addition! The one I rode at SFOT was a really thrilling ride and seemed to be very popular. I just hope this doesn't have a lot of downtime. Riddler went down a few times during my visit to SFOT and Black Widow was down for the night at Kennywood when I went, but maybe I just have bad luck. Like SFDK ad La Ronde, I think the park can definitely keep Tomahawk as well. Tomahawk is more about spinning and the Giant Discoveries are more about the swinging.

Also, I'm really really really jealous Great Adv is likely not getting one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 A few thoughts... 1) This is spectacular news, though like Boldikus I hope the chain bought more than one of these because I really want one for Great Adventure. 2) Tomahawk is listed as a Holiday in the Park ride. This is obviously not a replacement as they would definitely want to get a head start on it's removal if it was (even though I'm sure they have no interest in getting this ride ready for opening day). Awesome, I love Tomahawk. 3) I really feel like this is going to go where the stupid slingshot is. I would think there would be plenty of room for it and I think it would look awesome there. There aren't really many other places where it could go. Down by the Wild Mouse maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfriday1998 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 YAHOO! I just rode Tomahawk for the first time yesterday, and that was fun. Looking forward to a Zamperla Giant Discovery as a great improvement. Also, quick ride count from yesterday: Superman GCG:EFAA Batman: TDK Joker *On my Joker ride (purple side), I actually stalled upside down at least twice, which made me gray out a little bit. Got my ass kicked.* Pandemonium x2 (There's actually a single rider line there I didn't know about: it's the same as the FP queue) Wicked Cyclone Sky Screamer Blizzard River Houdini Tomahawk Scream (They weren't running the shot sequence: just the drop. That sucked ) Mind Eraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
