mary.pesik Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 STOP FINDING ME AWKWARD BECAUSE I OBSESS OVER STUPID THINGS! I was taking part in your discussion about possessives earlier; do I honestly know when to quit? Just ignore me! Dude, to me, my Grid obsession like Rob Alvey's donkey obsession, except I have a crush on Grid. OK, to move the topic along, how was everyone's ride on Wicked Cyclone?

logrog04 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 ^^ Wicked Cyclone's dispatches before Memorial Day and after Labor Day are always brutal. They tend to hit their stride in the summer though. New wheels on Superman sounds fantastic. That ride has been running like a bat out of hell in the summer the past two years. The lap bar incident was happening, then causing stacking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fail to mention that you can not pull down your lap bar, everyone pulls them down and then they have to reset the restraints and do it again, then causing stacking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Do they still not make a big announcement to lower the lapbar? Last year the operators would ask riders individually not to lower the lapbar which wasn't efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYCoasterguy11 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I remember this last summer at Kings Dominion they had a guy on Twisted Timbers with a headset/microphone giving instructions of when to pull down and what not. It was actually really efficient. I'm sure SF won't try this but it would be beneficial to have someone on a loudspeaker giving direction that everyone could hear.

mary.pesik Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Not gonna lie....I have no idea who Grid is....lol Grid is the Earth-3 (Crime Syndicate) counterpart of Cyborg. He's basically Bizarro Cyborg, but he's not. He resembles some skull robot thing. And he has the sexiest voice. At least to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even just 1 or 2 posts. Like, way too much about obsessing over her fictional crushes when people just want to talk about the park. Just check out the past handful of pages to see what I mean.

Blind Idiot God Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Dude, she's a kid, just move on. Yeah, what she's saying is annoying and irrelevant to the topic at hand, but your increasingly obsessive mad-on for her is every bit as disruptive and, frankly, inappropriate. I posted tons of stupid things on message boards when I was sixteen, and even when I look back at some of those archived posts, the only thing more childish than my posts were the overly angry adult posters who would not let go of how bad my posts were.

Canobie Coaster Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Since I didn't make it to opening weekend, I couldn't pass up the chance to visit today with such beautiful weather. A lot of people did the same; this was easily the most packed I've ever seen the park before Memorial Day. As previously mentioned in this thread, Chop Six replaced Panda Express. While I personally am not a fan of Chinese food, I definitely support there being another restaurant included with the meal plan. Mobile ordering wasn't quite ready to go on the mobile app, but they promise it's coming soon. I'm really intrigued to see how well it's implemented since it works like a dream at Disney. No more Panda Express. The former Hall of Justice is bare outside of a banner advertising the new Cyborg ride. Based on the park's recent track record I fully expect them to have this open right around Memorial Day weekend. Rumor has it, the ride is inside and testing. The building still needs the signage added. Also new for 2019... Goliath has a brand new rehab sign. The colors really pop and the wrench icon is a nice touch. Another year, another year with Goliath closed. Fancy new rehab sign. If you preferred the old one, rest assured you can still find it by the ride's exit. Or all you traditionalists can find the old one by the exit. Technically the ride would be able to run today considering it's an unseasonably warm 75 degrees, but the train isn't even on the track and I spotted some rails lying on the ground next to the ride. Note the rails on the ground. Superman and Wicked Cyclone were really cranky today. Superman went down for 2-3 hours this afternoon and Wicked Cyclone kept opening and closing non-stop. But both were riding very well. Superman tends to run noticeably slower in the spring and fall, but it absolutely hauls in the summer. I'm happy to say this is the fastest I've seen it run this time of year. Ungodly airtime in the first half and very strong pops in the second half. Plus Superman's crew was flying today. I think the supervisor was a fellow coaster enthusiast (he recognized my Copperhead Strike shirt) and he was telling everyone the train would leave in 45-50 seconds. And for the most part, the crew was ready to send the next train out when the previous one hit the brakes. Wicked Cyclone was running great as well. It's easy to tell when this ride is running quick since you get a powerful burst of air entering the brake run. I still think Wicked Cyclone is the park's best overall ride, but a front row on Superman beats it. Because the two headliners were having so much downtime, I finished in the South End. I honestly can't remember the last time I did that, but Harley Quinn is arguably the park's best flat and I do enjoy Joker, Batman, and Riddler. Such a pretty sky. Overall it was a good day even though crowds and uptime weren't quite what I hoped for. The most surprising thing for me today was how fast dispatches were. And I found a Road Runner plush. Being stuck in this lot gave me time to write this. I forgot just how long it takes to get out of this lot on a busy day. It took me over an hour.

Chasehat Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 They seem to be running a different type of wheels on Superman this season as these ones are yellow instead of the normal blue ones. And I very much agree it’s running faster now than I can ever remember it this early in the year. If it keeps up come summer time the thing will be an absolute rocket ship.

Srosdude Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 @Canobie Coaster, I think that was me who recognized your shirt! Not a supervisor though, just simply a team member. Thanks so much for mentioning our operations. It's still early in the season, so no crew is going to be perfect, but we're trying our best, and the announcements to when the train will be leaving are definitely helping speed thing up. As for the park being pack, I was shocked at how busy it was, as one week before, Superman barely had a line! Thanks again for the nice words about the Superman crew!

As for the park being pack, I was shocked at how busy it was, as one week before, Superman barely had a line! Thanks again for the nice words about the Superman crew! You're very welcome! Even with a full queue for the front row, it was only taking about 20 minutes. Usually it takes 30-40 minutes so I appreciate the speed. Any guesses about when Goliath gets out of rehab? Last year was a particularly bad year for the coaster, but I believe they tend to get it running in May. They seem to be running a different type of wheels on Superman this season as these ones are yellow instead of the normal blue ones. And I very much agree it’s running faster now than I can ever remember it this early in the year. If it keeps up come summer time the thing will be an absolute rocket ship. I agree! I'm excited to see just how fast this thing will get in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Any guesses about when Goliath gets out of rehab? No, but when it opens I give it a solid 3 days of semi-consistent operation before going back into rehab for the remainder of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
