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

That sucks you ran into so many problems. I can't believe they wouldn't give you a bag!

That issue with Batman and the rain runing clothes happened to someone twice so far this year (their clothes got ruined), so maybe after they got some complaints they now close the ride becuase of that. If someone wants to take the chance and ride, I think they should be able to though and they should have kept it open.

Glad you enjoyed El Toro, I rode it at the end of August and I thought it was awesome. Love your videos, I've downloaded them all.

Kingda Ka blows, I rode it at the front and it wasn't nearly as shaky but it still wasn't very good, it was very shaky everywhere else I rode (I think 3rd and 4th row), and it really took away the sensation of speed. Top Thrill Dragster owns Kingda Ka big time.

I usually leave Great Adventure with a bad taste in my mouth, good coasters but such a bad park, it took a Gold Flash Pass to save my last visit (30 aug) from being awful.

[mforce79I'll have red wine with my slice of donkey.]

Jeff rode Krapda Ka before me and got off of the back row informing us that it was rough. I moved up to the 2nd row b/c I wasn't going to chance waiting for the front, and honestly I thought it rode like a wooden coaster. The trains were obviously in bad shape. To prove they were in bad shape, consider this: The ride has four loading stations and only 3 trains on the site, with the 3rd train alread being taken apart in the transfer area. Something ain't right about that.

I think Jeff mentioned most of the crappy policies and such that gave us a bad experience, but the thing I can't stand the most about this park (and it actually has nothing to do with the Six Flags brand) is the people. The general population of guests in this park have very ugly attitudes, and it sucks that it's so crowded all the time. Again, nobody's fault, and I'm not trying to offend. It's just my obeservation, and one of the many small reasons I don't plan on going back to a Six Flags park any time soon.

It does run pretty rough, but you have to remember the accident from last year also. The train that got eatten up was never the same after. I believe they fixed it the best they could, but it only operated for a very short period of time.

So have they only had 3 trains since the accident last year?

Which train was it? We were in the Orange train.

When they finally got it up and running last year, I believe they started running it with 3 trains (2 on one side and 1 on the other). Then when they "fixed" the broken train they ran it for a short time and then took it off. At the start of the season the went to one side, two train operation. I haven't seen three trains operate this year. I did see one on the track on the other side of the station, but I didn't see it get fired off.

I believe the accident involved the blue train. It was either the teal or blue. I can't really remember. For some reason I'm leaning towards blue.

^ Yes, it's the blue train. I always found the back to be rough before the accident but that's just me.

[pkdcoasterAll I want is a chainlift!]

Yea I noticed that the other side looked like it has not been used in a while. especially looking at the trasfer track area.

look at the extremely bad rust already.

So has the Blue train been missing all year (2006)?

My first ride was in the back. I remember it being rough, but it wasn't like it has been. I rode it in the next to back row on Friday. My arms were banging up against the restraints so much that I have bruises on the insides of my arms. I don't mind getting beat up on coasters, so I don't really care that much, but I'm sure that most wouldn't like it that much.

It had a lot more rattle to it than what I remember. The best rule is to just get as far in the front as possible.

I wouldn't have ridden it if it wasn't a 3 train wait during Family Night.

^ And yes. The blue train has been missing. It made a few appearances that I remember, but it was in pieces.

How come the kingda ka got so much rust. Normal the intamin steel coasters don't rust...
