Wow you're right. Im surprised it's testing this early. I guess they wanted to make sure the new trains work? Obviously none of the special effects seem ready yet.

wow only two seats in the back, due to housing the music box. I wanna sit there for more freedom!!

Just saw a post on TPR, IF they could pull off Bizarro pushing the train( like superman in the gold coast ) that would be sweet!!!

Anybody else notice the youtube member angelluver that posted there?  Oh my...

Anyway, good to know it still works.  At least one way or the other we get our old ride back :).

I really don't think the paint is chipping already.

Chuck was joking about the paint that flies off the rails during the first few runs.  That of course is assuming they painted the rails again.  Let's hope not!

From Lois Lane's blog:
Quote
Jimmy was supposed to be back last week. He's not here. I've called around, and nobody has heard from him in weeks. His family never saw him at the reunion.

He shouldn't have messed with Six Flags! Clearly doesn't know about the time people took illegal pics of Superman. :P

None the less, I am glad to see there is more story line to come! I wonder where he has disappeared to?

That's the first time I've been on that site, awesome.  Now only if they could make that lighting a real effect during the ride.

Bubba, I actually had a guests that visits the park often say that he didn't care for the transformation unless they could make the lightning effect happen during the ride.  Because I actually have a decent rapport built up with him since I first met him during El Toro's media day, and have seem him several times a season (always by El Toro! LOL), I was asking him what's wrong with making a ride more like a show?  In the end he still thinks that SF ruined both rides, but he at least was going to ride both Bizarros before casting them off permanently.  I have a feeling he'll eat his words though, LOL.

Have any of you seen Superman's(Bizzaro) new lighting package it got?

I hope we get something similar.

Lois Lane has even more Bizarro news!  Interesting poster she found there.

  Jimmy Olson has been found. Truth2Power.com has been updated. LoisLaneReports.com has been updated as well. Jimmy is eludeing that there is Video of the Informant revealing that he has been playing Jimmy (and us) and has worked for Lex all along. The "Brainwashing" Device is really a Machine to trap Superman and not a "Brainwashing" Device at all. The next clue will be finding the Video of the Informant. And so the fun continues...

And so it goes! I was waiting for it to kick up again.  I have a feeling that it will start to get intense since the rides are opening up at the end of the month.

I think that jimmy is working for lex all along and he's just playing us for fools.
