[almightyfireDonkeys are my way of life!]

I'm going in June and IF the line is over 30 mins, I probably wont be riding it. Just like Batman inverts, they are way TOO SHORT, WAYYYYYYYY too short in length.

Coaster looks amazing and makes me want to visit the park even more now!

Just got home from opening day. Really great day and the park looked fantastic. Clearly the big change was X Flight, but there was lots of other new smaller things. I'll post a full trip report later this week, but I thought I would just post a few pictures of other little changes besides X Flight. V2 got new seats and Revolution got new restraints but I didn't take pictures of those as I'm not quite that nerdy yet.

Just a quick off-ride view of X-Flight I shot at the park today.
Yes there are already two videos on here. But this is far better quality than them.

The theming on this ride is actually pretty cool, I love the water spray. Still looks like the best wingrider IMO, and the tests seem faster than the Swarm's were.

[Airtime&GravityWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

I agree that the theming on X-Flight looks great, and the ride itself looks like the best wing coaster built so far. The layout is great, and it has some great speed through nearly the entire ride.

Can you use the souvenir cups with the Coke Freestyle, and does it serve Beverly? I don't know how many machines there are, but the line to use them is probably going to be very long given how popular they have been.

Definitely agreed on it being the best wing rider layout to date!

Jumped over to the park yesterday with some buddies of mine to check out the new ride. It is so impressive in person, and the planners have incorporated the surrounding area very well. Here is some footage to show the various viewpoints you can enjoy around the site!
