coneyislandchris Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 A couple new photos appeared on the construction blog this morning! Looks like we have the beginnings of a lift hill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I think the purple/green look fantastic. As much as I'm on the fence about the ride experience itself, its fun to see it go up. Can't wait to see the entire plaza, queue, landscaping and everything done. The end of Main Street is gonna look way different. I'm not sure if its been pointed out but its ironic the brand new (somewhat low capacity) ride (that everyone is gonna run to when they enter the park) is right next to the flash pass building lolz. I wonder how Superman lines will be affected since it seems that (and Ka) are the rides everyone runs to @ opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njcoasterguy34 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 As long as they don't run to Nitro at opening I'll be happy. I always start my day at the park with a front row ride on Nitro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcoaster Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I think after the initial opening the lines will die down a lot. It is a pretty intimidating contraption and might scare some guests away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 ^ I think you are underestimating how many teens go to the park. Teenagers are more likely to pressure/egg each other to do crazy sh!t, not to mention they think they are invincible. This ride is going to be crazy popular, especially due to its location in the park. As long as they don't run to Nitro at opening I'll be happy. I always start my day at the park with a front row ride on Nitro. I always start with a magic seat ride on The Bull, sometimes if I'm lucky a nice little marathon ensues. I can't wait for spring.

Jcoaster Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 ^ I thought Zumanjaro would have longer lines due to that, but I've never waited longer than 30 min for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Fair point, but I think Zumi's major problem is you have to walk 4 hours to get on it. I'm being half serious, but I've heard so many people complain about that. They could have a tram that takes you back there LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I love Zumanjaro's queue but that probably has to do with the fact that my Fitbit runs my life. Now that's a marketing idea... Zumanjaro Drop of Doom sponsored by FitBit. Wait time 3000 steps from this point. I accept my royalties as cash or check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Personally I don't really mind it either, it is long, but its whatever. It would be nice if they put some flats back there and opened up the area between the queue line and Toro with a small midway, instead of just one giant long queue line for one ride.

KBrylczyk Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm in the middle of cleaning up my hard drive and I came across some older photos of the park from the end of the season in 2009.

boldikus Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I only miss GASM because I only rode it in the early 90s and would like to have been able to say how much it sucked before it was torn down. But it was a decent ride back in 92. Also, I like to imagine that as bad as it might have gotten, it was probably better than what replaced it.

Genx24 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Count me amongst those that miss GASM. Such an iconic ride, torn down and replaced with secondhand trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoshiFan Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I liked Scream Machine slightly more than Green Lantern. I didn't find Scream Machine bad if you avoided the last few cars and in 2010 the red train was running the best it had in years. I would have rather seen Green Lantern built elsewhere in the park and had both rides stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Scream Machine sucked, Green Lantern rocks. Whew, glad I got that off my chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro1118 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Ai miss GASM, as well. While I definitely prefer GL, GASM gave the lineup more variety since we are overloaded with B&M's. On goods days in the right seats, GASM was a very solid ride. Always really liked the vertical loops and consecutive corkscrews. Everything else was garbage. Speaking of torn down coasters, I miss this coaster literally every time I visit the park: *Courtesy of East Coast Coasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Scream Machine was rough and subpar but it had personality and history, it always looked really intimidating and I usually rode it once a visit. I was mediocre but it could still be fun. Green Lantern is trash, it's ugly, it's rough and it has no redeeming qualities. Luckily it's really the only bad coaster in the park so even though it's unbelievably horrible I can't complain with a lineup like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I still wish Ultratwister was there so I could finally ride one of TOGO's masterpieces, but now we have El Toro so I'm not complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
