Station wait for S: UF? Over here at SFGAm we still have 2+ Hour waits on ANY day for Superman..

It was like that till around 2:00 pm. I rode it at around 11:00 am.

Kingda Ka ran smoothly all day. The worst operations today were at Nitro.

You must have been in a Bizarro world yesterday.

Ha ha ha very true! Also i forgot to mention there was graffiti in the carts for thunder road!

I'm assuming you mean Rolling Thunder. Those trains have been in bad shape for a couple years now. There's tons of names scratched into them and on the blue train, side panels are missing. Last time I counted 4 missing. Were they running both sides or just the right?

They were running both sides as a race! I started nerding out to my brother saying "Holy crap their running both sides!" hahaha. I always get the name confused but SFGAdv is going to be my home park since i'm moving to NJ.

[YoshiFanDon't make me kick you in the donkey!]

It seems like they are only running both sides on the weekend.

Yeah well I did go on the weekend. The ride was not as bumpy as i thought it would be. The last turn felt like we came in to fast and it rattled everyone quite a bit.

Some masochist part of me actually enjoys Rolling Thunder...some decent airtime on the return run in the back, and so long as you don't ride on the right side (or you brace for that murderous turnaround) it isn't too shabby!

Granted, with El Toro towering over it, I do question what I'm doing on it sometimes.

My brother was yelling on the first hill because he thought we came off the track! Rolling thunder has got some very nice airtime. I only rid one side of it I think it was the left side of the station. This has nothing to do with rolling thunder but when i was waiting in line for Nitro i looked at the staircase and saw a lot of peeling pink paint! I really wanted to tell a park official but i did not want to seem like a complete coaster nerd haha

I really like Rolling Thunder too. If your on a non wheel seat its very smooth, and the left side isn't bad in any seat and doesn't have that horrible turnaround. If you want a rough ride, The Runaway Mine Train is MUCH worse then Rolling Thunder.

Good thing the runaway mine train had a long wait otherwise i would have rode it. Is green lantern worth my time the next time i go?
