Is this one really bigger than the originals? It looks exactly the same to me...

 

It could just be the perspective with those cars sitting in front. If you look at the one car already sitting on the bottom of the ride, it actually looks pretty massive. To me, anyways.

They just posted another picture, it looks a bit bigger from this angle:

Looks like it will be topped off soon

 

On another note, the 2018 dining pass guide is up:

Oh wow, now I can tell. Those cars sitting in the "station" definitely put it into better perspective.

I need to get back to Great America for Hurricane Harbor. It's like a Pro-Slide catalog. The only thing missing is a water coaster, to be honest. They haven't added anything since 2011 which is shocking, but understandable since you could spend a whole day at HH as is.

^^Maybe. Joker loves to throw temper tantrums in the cold. It's open in New England and at Great Adventure but it needs to close a lot... even with the wheel heaters in New England. It's never successfully operated until the end of the event at either park.

 

Dark Knight is sort of a given though and Superman is highly likely. It runs like a champ at Great Adventure aside from it's usual sh*t when it swings up into position and refuses to move but it does that on 80 degree summer days. It ran with temperatures down in the teens a few times last year.

 

V2 could be interesting too. I mean... what's it going to do? Valley?

I like the possibilities at this park. Could be a really great event full of rides. Might have to make the drive from Cleveland

Is it safe to say Raging Bull will be open? I'll be going to this for sure.
