Canobie Coaster 162 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 All the new DC rides have been without the possessive. It'll be interesting to see if SFMM's Riddler's Revenge is renamed in the near future. Link to post Share on other sites
RollerManic 0 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 They could make it less awkward by calling it "Whip of Catwoman". I’m not convinced thats any less awkward except in the Romantic-branch languages (eg Spanish) where that kind of wording is conventional. Link to post Share on other sites

Japanese And I didn't realize all the DC rides were without possessive. Cyborg Hyper Drive anyone? I really thought the older rides like Riddler's Revenge and Joker's Jinx as well as Poison Ivy's Tangled Train/Catwoman's Whip, nearly all the SFNO rides (Joker's Jukebox and Lex Luthor's Invertatron) and Harley Quinn's Crazy Train were the only with possessive. I mean, Superman and Batman and Wonder Woman and Green Lantern and Cyborg all had their rides without possessive. Link to post Share on other sites

BoulderDash 8 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Both coasters are running very good, better than they have in a while. Superman got a lot of train work including new wheels. It is running very smooth and fast. Cyclone is great as well and super smooth, now is the time to ride before the summer wheels go on. I only rode the orange train but it seemed to be running faster than the blue one. Operations are another story, Cyclone has absolutely horrendous dispatches. I timed a 6:30+ minute dispatch and there were plenty that seemed longer than that. Superman had excellent ops though and the line was super short. Everything else was hit or miss, even Joker had a long line which I have never seen before. I know it is still early in the year but it is embarrassing that a world class RMC has only two employees checking restraints and half the time open the gates after the other train gets back.

Canobie Coaster 162 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 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.

mary.pesik 2 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 So any update on the Hall of Justice building or is it still just painted and windows shut out? I swear, they should be announcing an opening date for this shit soon. I've been begging my parents to take me; hopefully they will. If I don't go on Nitro before it, I'd even go on Supes just out of Grid hype. (Then again that gets long lines so I should go on it first to get it out of the way. But then of course Cyborg will get long lines and I want Grid) Link to post Share on other sites

Come on, stop letting yourself down. There will be screen projections and Grid will be in it. It's not my fault I'm attracted to some skull robot thing just because his voice is hot and I consider what he does to Cyborg pretty... let's not go there. Anyway, sign went up. And commence my Grid fangirling in 3... 2... 1! OMG GRID GRID GRID GRID... Link to post Share on other sites

mary.pesik 2 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?

Canobie Coaster 162 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 post Share on other sites
CNYCoasterguy11 4 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. Link to post Share on other sites
