[STR8FXXXINEDGEJar-Jar Binks smells like Donkey]

Apparently there have been some modifications made today. I present to you the "New & Improved, Extra Soft Noodles!".

[crazywolf88I teach at the school of donkey!]

^That should hold off the complaining for a while.

Got to ride once today (would've been more, but my friend who was with me didn't want to go on again, meh). I'm not sure I'd rank it above I305, but it's certainly in that class. Has it beat in the airtime department for sure. A few things:

1) I don't think the person/people that green-lighted the station design thought it through as much as they should have.

2) I personally didn't experience any pain, but I did overhear a few people say something about how the ride "killed their legs". Most of them were teenage kids, so take it for what it's worth.

3) I rode in the right outside seat and absolutely loved the openness/sense of freedom. I obviously know the lap bar was sufficient, but I would be lying if I said there wasn't a brief second where I thought "wait, this is all that's keeping me in?". Glad I chose the seat that I did.

Forgot to add this: I don't know if I got lucky, but Wildcat was running VERY well today. Easily the best ride I've ever gotten on it.

Sky Rush looks so fun! I cannot wait to ride it.

I find this interesting because Wildcat was absolutely brutal on Sunday haha. Rode in the back.

[rollin_n_coastinDon't put that donkey on the floor!]

Are operations getting any better throughout the park? I remember the seemingly endless waits for everything back in 2008, in particular Great Bear. Storm Runner's wait was just insane. If it wasn't for ERT, I'm not sure how many rides we would have enjoyed and it's the reason why I was never in any rush to get back to the park until Sky Rush came along. Would current operations be Magic Mountain-like, Mount Olympus-like or somewhere in between?

Sky Rush really does look fantastic, almost like Maverick on steroids. I really can't wait to ride, whether it uses al dente rigatoni or not. New Texas Giant gave me bruises to last a week or two but once you figure out how to brace yourself a bit, it's just insane fun. I just figure it's another reason to get back to the gym at some point to add some currently non-existent leg extensions to the non-existent cardio lol

I remember really liking Wildcat a lot.

Above Mt. Olympus For Sure. Mt. Olympus is almost as bad (but not as bad) as Fuji-Q.
