SteveStL Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 If we called the shots, then utilizing that land for both Parks is a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagman Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I haven’t been to HH since I was in elementary school. I might have to go this year to check out the new slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisdougsforu Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I have never even stepped foot in HH so I'll give the slide credit- it will have me visit for the first time. While waterslides/waterparks aren't really my thing, the slide does look very cool from a design standpoint. I'm sure it's wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Well, from the sounds of it this new slide is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing for the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Well, from the sounds of it this new slide is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing for the park. Indeed. I was thinking it'd take a water coaster for this kind of response. But this also looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I agree, I'm really excited about this slide. It's Bakuli crossed with Hyena Falls....and that's exactly what they're competing with. Step it up, Holiday World; can't wait to see what comes out of this competition.

Danrarbc Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Step it up, Holiday World; can't wait to see what comes out of this competition. Lmfao! They have what? 2 or 3 water coasters there? And 4 times the water park acreage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 They do, but that won't be enough to save them from Six Flags' one new water slide in the last 5 years. They better get on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagman Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Anyone ride the Boss this past weekend? Thought I saw it was open. This upcoming weekend looks nice so I’m going to go to the park Saturday or Sunday. Hopefully the Boss will be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This upcoming weekend looks nice so I’m going to go to the park Saturday or Sunday. Hopefully the Boss will be open. I did ride it a week ago. It feels like something is missing now but definitely is a bit easier in the body. The double up is a bit better now, but still the simple turn is a bit anticlimactic after that nice series of hills on the way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWFan Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I’m mostly excited for the Dole Whip being added to HH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacherkim Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 LOL!! They just sent out the passholder announcements and had a feature on the Boss with a video. It's an old video that still shows the helix. Whoops. My son is ready to sue for false advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuly Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hey guys haven’t popped in a while, just wanted to ask which pass gives the best perks for the best price... monthly gold or just regular seasons pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hey guys haven’t popped in a while, just wanted to ask which pass gives the best perks for the best price... monthly gold or just regular seasons pass. If you don't mind the subscription the perks of Platinum and Diamond are definitely nice. I was already doing 1 subscription dining and 4 Gold and I've switched to 4 diamond and two dining memberships. For $5 more than I was previously paying I get twice the meals and all the diamond stuff. Pretty happy with the deep dining discount (dining memberships used to be $17 a month....) I'd definitely recommend consulting the chart of perks before making any moves. I would have done Platinum if I didn't plan on visiting other parks in the chain. The preferred parking and line skip will come in handy visiting Great America and other busier parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 The MCBR is way more aggressive on The Boss this visit than it was the first time I tried it this way. You barely roll out of it - and just leisurely top the hill after it now. It's really not a good this way IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 That's kind of disappointing to hear. The drop out of the mcbr is one of my favorite parts of the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Went to Six Flags today and got to try Namtab and the new Boss, and I was impressed with both of them. First of all, Namtab! Yllanif! After striking out before, this visit I went straight to it at opening and got on. Good move too, as while we were going up the lift I could see the line stretching into the park section. Haven't seen it that long in a while. Namtab is very, very intense in the back. Batman is intense in the last row too, but the Namtab version....wow. I was a bit queasy coming off it. As for the new Boss, it's the best it's run in years. It was so smooth, about like it was right after the RMC retrack in '13. The new overbanked turn is so much better than the old helix, and you actually get a bit of air on the double up at the end now. Great job making this ride not just tolerable, but actually fun!

prozach626 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hearing that the Boss has slowed down is a good thing in my book. I don't think we'll get to try Namtab. We're probably going to wait until Coaster Campout at Cedar Point to visit any parks and we've got our eye on Millennium Force as our first ride of 2018. This will be followed by Maverick and the Steel whatever it's called roller coaster. I'm just not feeling it yet with park going seasons stretching so late into the year, anymore.

SFStl Fan Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I think Boss 2.0 is enjoyable but the MCBR does take a lot of wind out of the sails. The new turn around is well done. I found that I didn’t even miss the double helix. Am I mistaken, or are the trains different? Are these the trains that used to be underneath Batman?
