^^That looks amazing. I always thought it would be neat to have a coaster that goes over water with this big "water bombs", this comes the closest to that fantasy. I really like how this interacts with its environment very well and it seems to interact better than Swarm's interaction. Here comes the Thorpe fanboys...

Is there a wall that's covered up by the track and train? Because right now it looks like there's a weird tree mirage thing on the right side of the train. Freaky! :P

How does SFGAm add bonus features to Riptide Bay, and now X-Flight? They always know how to please us :)

Waiting for my perhaps one and only chance to go to the park on Media Day. :cry:


I'm crossing my fingers that you'll be able to go with us at least once this year, but I understand if you can't. When the boys are big enough to ride coasters, can we borrow them to get those credits that requires a child? I'll be willing to pay. You do have to think about college early these days.

Oh and yes, I'll be there tomorrow. Not sure about Sunday. I really didn't give it any thought.

It looks like a garden hose that people poke holes into to water their grass.

Cam has already offered up one of his free tickets from the Season Pass Holder booklet....so I think it'll happen. ;)

I totally forgot about the kiddie credit! We need to have a bash here, so I can pimp them out!

Am I allowed to eat donkey during lent?

I'm starting to wonder if it's even possible for you to be more vehemently sarcastic and down on this ride than you've managed to be so far. Lighten up bro. :?r

Personally, I think that looks stunning, especially for an SF ride. Kudos to SFGAm for making their wingrider the nicest looking of the "Non-Dollywood" installations.

^I mean...isn't it the only "non-Dollywood" installation? At least here in the states...
