^^ I've ridden Intimidator 305 close to 70 times now and I've had to do that 2-3 times now... But I haven't heard/saw them doing it since 2010 though.

I prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!

Most ACErs stick out like a sore thumb,that is unless that particular group has been on a gravy free diet as of lately.Almost everyone on that train was of average build.

This B&M donkey is so smooth!

I usually ride by myself but have seen them unlock some people and have them switch up seating.

Seems odd to me to have the entire trainload have to switch sides though.

In other news it looks like the helicopter on Backlot is now working properly again & they opened the new hish striker game over by windseeker as well.

I've gone pantless!

I heard that Volcano had a rollback today. I was with a friend at Busch Gardens, who received a text from a another friend of his saying that he'd been in a rollback and that it was pretty weird going backwards at about five miles per hour on Volcano.

It's pretty fun, but it slows it down a lot at the base of the big incline and kind of creeps around the big turn and back toward the station. They've got these movable platforms to evacuate you in the tunnel and then you walk through Smurf Mountain.

^Do they defend you from renegade Smurfs who are angry that their mountain was taken away?

You don't even want to know the kind of crazy stuff you see inside Smurf Mountain!

Speaking of smurfs did anyone notice that they're selling smurf plushies in the shops along I-street? Seems like after 30 years they're making a real comeback.

I wonder how long it's gonna be till the park gets tired of these rollbacks on volcano & decides to just replace the ride alltogether?

All launch rides rollback... Volcano is easily the most popular ride in the park. The park is going to keep it around as long as possible and might even re-configure the station soon due to its popularity.

We all know you hate the ride, want it to be removed, and want a B&M invert.
