Dan, they LIFTED that lame no reride rule?  That's awesome!

I always let people reride Hellcat, unless they make me mad, or try to ride like 6 times in a row.  Man, making annoying people walk all the way down those stairs is more than worth it.

Your chance of getting on Nitro this spring break might be slim. It hasn't been running.
Front row is amazing on Kingda Ka.

Unfortunately re-riding is not a safety issue and it doesn't get addressed in training. Some leads are left with their own interpretation and enforce the rule that isn't there, save for busy days. Once the season progresses, they may loosen up. Guest Relations is the only way to let the park know that one is dissatisfied. Arguing with a ride up won't accomplish much other than make the guest and the ride up stressed.

I  re-rode three times on El Toro yesterday.  It  helped being a single rider.  I also want to point out all three rides where enjoyable. Thank you so much for not stapling me!

ALL the rides in BJL are gone except the play structures . What a shame I can't believe they are all gone ...
LTSP has two rides gone and filled in with dirt . They want the families to come but the ride are not there for the kiddies to ride ...This makes anyone with small kids confused and annoyes that the ride aren't there ..

Hey I just had a random thought..

We were told that all coasters after The Dark Knight would have single rider lines. Do you think Bizarro counts or are we talking completely brand new? :)

Too dark in way too many places yesterday evening.
I really hope something bad doesn't have to happen for them to turn on a few more lights!
Maybe once they get those lights on the Big Wheel.....

And the moon was amazing last night.
I really wish I had my camera as the large full moon was right behind El Toro.

I rode Nitro just last night, and it was AWESOME, as per usual!
