  1. As someone who thinks El Toro is still super smooth for a woodie, I have to admit the bottom of the rolling Thunder hill has gotten absolutely brutal. My last ride was in the very back row last Saturday and you could hear the train almost bottom out at the bottom of that hill.
  2. I’ve read on the Great Adventure Facebook group that there’s a problem with one of the compressors for the launch. I rode it Saturday and it had about a 45 minute wait. They seems to launch 2 trains, then wait 4-5 minutes to send 2 more, very similar to how it would run when it had to wait for Zumanjaro to cycle.
  3. Saturday night, hauling an absolutely ridiculous amount of ass. 16 years old now and still the best wooden coaster in the world and 2nd place isn’t even close.
  4. $99 for Holiday in the Park?????? An event in which an entire side of the park is closed btw. Great Adventure does an incredible job during Holiday in the Park but that is absolutely outrageous.
  5. ^Im pretty sure it’s been waiting on a part from Intamin. Hasn’t it been closed since late last season?
  6. ^sucks to hear about the crowds. I got to the park around 4 yesterday and stayed until closed and by then the crowds had really lightened up. Superman was absolutely ripping yesterday! It’s seriously running so unbelievably fast nowadays it doesn’t even feel like the same ride it was 4-5 years ago.
  7. Probably SFA but Wild One was closed when I was there so I guess I wouldn’t exactly refuse to go there if presented with the opportunity to go again on the way to KD/BGW
  8. No ones posted in here in a while and mines shuffled around a bit since then 1. El Toro 2. I305 3. Superman (SFNE) 4. Maverick 5. Skyrush 6. Twisted Timbers 7. Steel Vengeance 8. Millennium Force 9. Storm Chaser 10. Phoenix After some absolutely dreadful rides in Boulder Dash back in May it’s fallen pretty far lol.
  9. After waiting years and trying to get down to the park pretty much every year for the last 3 or 4 years and never being able to, I finally made my first trip to the park on Monday and had an amazing day. Rides: I305 (x7)- This ride has been the top coaster on my bucket list for a long time now and I’m delighted to say, it lived up to all of the hype and then some. This ride is absolutely f*cking psychotic. I have no other way to describe it, the thing is just the most intense coaster I’ve ever been on. Combine that with an incredible drop, that insane first airtime hill, lightning fast transitions with wild laterals and pops of ejector air you didn’t even think were possible, and you have one of the best coasters ever built. And somehow even with all that breakneck intensity, the ride still manages to be glass smooth. I truly can’t believe this ride is actually allowed to exist, absolutely mental. Superman @ SFNE has been my favorite steel coaster for the better part of 15 years now and finally I’ve ridden a steel coaster that tops that, I never thought I’d see the day. It’s now my #2 overall just behind El Toro. Twisted Timbers (x2)- I’ve always been an Intamin fanboy and have found most coasters by RMC wildly overrated (including Steel Vengeance). This most definitely isn’t. This is easily my new favorite RMC (yes, I think it’s better than Steel Vengeance). Those first 3 camelbacks are reminiscent to El Toro’s first two hills, albeit at a smaller scale. I also think the quality of airtime on this is better than any RMC I’ve ridden. Part of that could be because I avoided getting stapled which I never seem to avoid on RMCs. At most parks, this would be the best coaster, but it’s shares this park with that gigantic red and yellow psychopath. Dominator (x1)- I’m a huge fan of B&M floorless coasters, I just find them to be very fun and relaxing rides and this one is no different. This one has a bit more bite to it than the others ones I’ve ridden. Not really sure if I like this or Bizarro @ Great Adventure better but they’re both excellent rides. Flight of Fear (x2)- I’m not sure if it’s a popular opinion around here but I absolutely love these rides. I rode the one at KI back in 2018 and loved it and this was no different. Backlot Stunt Coaster (x1)- once again, rode its clone at KI. Fun little family launch coaster, not much else to say. Racer 75 (x2, both sides x1 each)- This ride was surprisingly fun. Didn’t really expect much but had a couple decent pops of floater air and it’s relatively smooth. Grizzly (x1)- I’m honestly not really sure what I think of this ride lol. It’s pretty rough in some spots, it’s quite aggressive, has a couple decent moments of airtime. I think I liked it but at the same time it did bash me around a bit lol. Anaconda (x1)- It actually wasn’t the horrific trash that I thought it was going to be. I mean it’s kinda shakey and has those wonky Arrow turns but it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as a lot of people say. Windseeker (x1)- my girlfriend loves the Star Flyers at six Flags parks so we rode this so she could take a breather after I305. It’s a fun ride. No where near as good as the star flyers but still really fun none the less. We didn’t do much for flats. I’ll be honest I don’t know much about KDs flats so I’m not sure if I missed anything I shouldn’t have? I’ve done a lot of the other flats at CP and KI and didn’t really feel the need to do them again. Really awesome day! I’d been waiting to get to KD for years, mostly for I305 and it lived up to every bit of the hype. I want to try and get back down there for Haunt so I can get some I305 night rides. now for some pictures (beware it’s mostly just I305 lol) me and the girlfriend, very pretty entrance walking up to the ride for the first time, just like Millennium Force I can’t get over just how massive the structure looks I can’t get over this part of the ride. This transition is so fast and so violent I can’t believe it’s actually legal lol.another angle. Just absolutely absurd lol.yes, I’m aware there’s other coasters at this park, this ones pretty spectacular as well.These 3 hills back to back to back feel like mini El Toro hills, so good. Some more RMC pornGreat B&M!some more Intimidator because we’ll, it’s just spectacular in every way. Alright one more, even the hill into the brakes has a pretty wild pop of airtime lol. This ride is just ridiculous
  10. I’ve seen a road wheel on Superman @ SFNE go bad during a cycle and it pretty much did exactly what Toro did, just it made it to the end of the ride. It slowly lumbered thru the final bunny hops and slowly made it to the brakes. They just transferred the train off, swapped the wheels out and had the ride up and running soon after. I would assume if it in fact was just a road wheel that went bad it shouldn’t be down for too long as long as it didn’t do any major damage to the track and train.
  11. Quite simply, the greatest coaster ever built. It was running like an absolute dream yesterday and pretty much rekindled my love affair with it after my not so great rides on it last year.
  12. Glad I’m not the only one, Boulder Dash absolutely f*cking stunk on my rides back in May. It was probably my favorite wooden coaster not named El Toro before that but my lord was it running like complete trash.
  13. Before I turned 21 I would use it. Now I can just drink beer when I’m at the park
