I would agree... I've been on Railblazer, and that thing is really snappy. And as fun as it is to have a major ejection seat feeling, it could be borderline too much. Like, I don't think I'd marathon Railblazer, as fun as it is. And it can really hurt some people in the shoulder because of...

I rode it about 7 times today during the media event, from back to front and in-between. IMO, it's a fun, fast, solid, reridable coaster. Will it crack any enthusiast's Top 10 list? Unlikely... there's not really anything super distinguishable about it. Will it probably be a hit with the GP...

I get that the Flash/musik express is old... it's nearly as old as the park itself. And while I'm all for sentiment, it's understandable if it needs to be scrapped. But the park is already very, very scarce on flat rides as it is... so if it does get scrapped or moved, they really need to make...

I was just in the park today, and the first piece of track (as far as I could see) has now been installed.

I felt the same way about the landscaping (feels like it's just sitting in a pile of dirt), but they still have over three weeks before it officially opens. I'm guessing the final phase will be to add it in. I was there for the media day for Manta, and it simiarily had a lot of landscaping to...

I'm inclined to agree. If it was leaving, why wouldn't it torn down already? The only thing that's been torn down is the sign. I do think it'd be great to see a ride return to the Pistashio Park area. There used to be a Bayern Kurve there for years, so it's already prepped for electrical...

Still find this plan hard to believe because of how close it gets to residential. Anything on that side of park is really close to homes. That south and southwest corner is pretty touchy, as it's where all the residential are--just look in the picture from posts #21 and #22 see how close they...

I really love that someone looked at a Crazy Train/Hi Roller and said, "You know what? It could be even more insane!"

Not all that much happening, it's still just footers. Nothing has gone vertical yet.

They're not a super high priority with me, but they do have some unique characteristics: The location is usually pretty nice, as well as a sense of isolation Not too many rides you can go on alone Duration. A lot of them have an enormous lift hill, and a pretty long track. Are they super...

I've seen pics of cranes putting rebar going vertical on IG, so it seems pretty accurate

Not in LA, where SFMM is located... got 6.5 more hours til midnight 🤣

I still long for what could've happened if Disneyland had gotten WestCot instead of DCA as a companion park. I will admit DCA, after very rocky start, is beginning to find its way... but I feel WestCot would've been much better right out of the gate. On a similar note, could've been...

These are some good and fair points. But some clarifications: Flashback didn't originate at SFMM... it started at SFGA, moved to SFOG, and ended up at SFMM as part of the coaster rotation program I'm pretty sure Batman also originated at SFGA, not SFMM While Superman isn't nearly as intense as...

Has no one been to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk? Giant Dipper should certainly rank up there, as well as the Giant Dipper at Belmont Park in San Diego, which still rocks. And Joker at SFDK should be up there as well. One person mentioned Deja Vu, but that hasn't be in CA for years, so I don't...

I was at the park yesterday, and they have removed all the Green Lantern signage from the building.

I'm also voting for Superman at SFMM. It literally sounds like a jet plane taking off, and if you're unfortunate enough to be walking right under it on a launch, it's a serious blast to the eardrums. As I seem to recall, SFMM deliberately made it loud. It was a conscious decsion to make a...

I was just about to say: Knott's Berry Farm all the way. Their recent upgrades really kept the spirit of the ride.

We were supposed to hit Texas on virtually this same trip a month ago, but it just wasn't safe (and I think closed at the time anyway). Still feel it was a bit risky going now, I feel like airplanes are not very safe from a Covid point of view, but I am happy the trip seemed to work out for you.

Partriot and Rougarou are pretty bad. But I will give Patriot a bit of a break, as it was the #2 coaster B&M made. Not really sure what the excuse is for Rougarou is, though both rides were originally stand up that have been converted.
