And you're going to tell me the car feels and drives the same way between those different tires?

I would count it if, in Manchester, it got four new tires. That significantly changes the ride experience and feel. Different parks operate rides in different ways. The wild mouse in Disneyland/DCA has trim brakes on in different locations than the same mouse ride at Six Flags. The...

If the name has changed, but the coaster hasn't, I wouldn't count it. However, I personally do count it if a coaster gets relocated. I know others wouldn't, which is fair, but I feel it's a very different ride experience in a new location. I just look to the fact that Phoenix at Knobels rides...

^Yes, because clearly no other ride or coaster manufacturer in the world has ever had a problem with a ride where people had to be evacuated. ? I mean, really, that "news" is such a non-event. Ride breaks down, safety equipement works exactly like it's supposed to, people safely taken off...

While coaster fanatics may care, I doubt much of the GP cares. To them, Crazanity is the new ride, given how late that one opened.

These are quite rare in the States. There's only two major ones: Houdini's Great Escape at SFGAd and SFNE. Interestingly, those parks are only a few hours apart, and there are none in the rest of the United States (save for some very small, handmade ones in very small parks). Personally, I...

Yeah, because Buccaneer, Swashbuckler, Flash, Scrambler, and Wonder Woman (Round Up) are down so much. When they insist on buying gigantic, expensive ones, yes. But if a local carnival can maintain a flat, I'm sure even SFMM could handle it if they just didn't feel the need to go over the top...

Just was at the park today, and tried to observe what I could from a ride on Jet Stream. The coaster seems at about 80% done. The area is all dirt. The buildings have walls and progress is happening on their exterior, but still pretty unfinished on the inside as best as I could tell...

I live for these sorts of attractions (and I love horror in general), so it takes a lot for me. I did the Alone haunt in LA, and while I was nervous at first, I ended up totally enjoying it. I've also been a big fan of Creep based off the three events I've done with them. And while I never...

This may be a small consolation, but the one plus about comfort collars is that it should mean seatbelts will not be necessary. As I understand it, it's an either/or, not both. And from a ride op point of view, I'd imagine comfort collars are much quicker to check than seat belts, especially...

I was just about to say... I was in the park today, and they have a ways to go yet...

You must have bad luck at SoCal fairs... I see them constantly. I haven't seen a Hi-Miler at a fair in a long time... guessing they just aged out? Also, I'd bet they're a pain to assemble compared to a Galaxy, especially when most fair goers probably don't even know the different. But that's...

I appreciate the detailed review. As a local who grew up around the OC and LA fair, both are supplied by the ride vendor RCS (Ray Cammack Shows). A company with a great reputation, quality and care of rides--but the downside is that the events are nearly identical year after year. If you went...

In terms of airtime, no. But in terms of comfort/re-ridability, length, and variety, yes. So it depends what you like.

They were running only one train for the media event yesterday as well, but it was just media, so it wasn't too big of a deal. I did ask an employee if they planned on one or two train ops for opening day, and she said "We'd better have two trains!" So they knew... I'm guessing there must've...

I got to ride it about 7 times on the media day. Never got the very front or very back, but often got 2nd front and 2nd back. I really enjoyed it! It's really two different coasters in one... first half has a lot of large inversions, and the 2nd half is more low to the ground with quick turns...

I’m noticed that people who have only watched the video don’t care much for the ride. But those who have actually been on it like it much more. Another message board that shall remain nameless seems to hate it, but it’s notable that no one on that board seems to have actually been on it. I’ve...

If there are softs, please confirm them there for us who can't be there after the 13th!

Great. I'll be there on the 11th and 12th, then fly home back to California the night of the 12th. ??? Is there any chance for softs before?

Surprised that no one's posted a review of this yet. I actually got to ride this yesterday... twice in fact. Since I have ridden Harley Quinn in SFDK (Skywarp), I did have a basis of comparison. For the record, I rode Harely Quinn at the far end, and found one loop not too bad, and the other...
