Who talks about things like that so loudly?!?! Daughters of prostitutes, mostly. Nicknamed by "Big Mistake" by their mothers and "Not My Problem" by their baby daddy's. I'm hoping to make another trip to the park this season, but I'm still not sure about my work schedule yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I'm still amazed, and glad, that this park has reopened. Now I just need to get down there so I can get the credits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron88stang Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It is worth a trip. I had a great day there last week. I am excited for what the future holds for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koasterking48 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 This was from a couple of days ago. Apparently the park instated a policy that wheelchair users were not allowed on to 16 out of the 30 rides due to employee inexperience and concern of the safety of the wheelchair users. A local news station reports that the policy has since been reversed. I was completely unaware that this was an issue at the park, but I'm glad they got it taken care of.

Koasterking48 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 ^ Yeah and from what I understand, it was most of the major rides, like Lightning Run, Thunder Run, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaG Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 ^Who said it was stuck and not parked there for a reason? -Brian Agreed. As a ride operator, I HATE the word "STUCK." I usually say "stuck" during normal times when people are aboard and "parked" during testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 ^That makes complete sense. Parked is for a reason (Block test during testing), and stuck in non intentional - why would the lift stop on purpose during normal operation? Just slows things down a bit.

xChris125x Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Honestly, the last bunny hill on LR merits that kind of reaction. The last hill felt more violent than any hill on Magnum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachclarke2 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Thanks guys. About that hill into the brakes, I'd definitely say it was the most violent and surprising part of the ride. The combined vertical and horizontal forces were just whoa. I got a few different shots of that part of the track and every single one of them has at least a few noteworthy facial reactions.

sfkk Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 After going to the park many times i want to say that the park has come a long way. Everything feels new again and the staff is very friendly. There are lots of security officers and twice I saw them handling situations with rowdy people. There are a lot more families at the park and food is very reasonable. You can get two slices of pizza for 6.50 with a season pass.I did encounter a few minor hiccups, like when they started the carousel when my mom and grandmother were not on it as there did not appear to be a mirror, but overall the park was clean, friendly and efficient.

mudvayneimn Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Great shots zachclarke2! My work schedule changed so I have not been able to go to the park since opening weekend; anyone that's been there in June how has it been? Has there been a healthy crowd or has attendance appeared to slip? From those photos the park seemed to be empty; since it's so hot I figure most people would probably be at the waterpark but was wondering what people that have actually visited the park recently observed.

ratdogg68 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I was there this past Thursday and the crowds are still there. LR had a 30 minute wait, with 1 train and I waited a hour for Deep Water Dive. Hurricane Bay/Hurricane Bay Beach Club was packed and the park was moderately packed. I've been 5 times so far and each time it has been packed.

Midgetman82 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I noticed that Lightning Run now slows down before it crests the top of the lift hill instead of just rocketing over it. What's great about it is that the coaster builds more anticipation before the drop now! I was a little concerned about capacity issues or it making the ride more tame, but I haven't really noticed anything changed from how it originally ran.

neil009 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 This seems to be a thing, slowing lift hills. I wonder why they don't just have it how they want it from the start. Skyrush, this, Outlaw Run, El Toro... I'm sure there are others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
