Angel said the first cut of the pre-shows ending was much more frightening than the current one with the melting faces.  After she viewed it they told her "Don't worry we aren't done editing it yet!" 
Anyone know what movie those scenes were taken from? 
Maybe bring back the unedited version for Fright Fest!

I suppose the pre-show is why they say limit the ride to '42" w/adult'. 
They really should have an option to skip the pre-show if you have kids.

Good idea on the bypass ken.  Although I suspect that might be a pain to manage for them.

Sometimes they just keep it open and its like a walk through, atleast one time when I went.

Speaking of editing shows, did they ever really edit Fly Me To The Moon? I haven't attempted to sit through it again to see.

OK it has good graphics, amazing scenery, and awesome special effects, but the chiller should still be there

As Much as we all would love that, its almost to good to be true. It was just running up a huge bill for the park, and half the time it didn't even work. I'm Sorry to say it but the ride started to become a nuisance.  R.I.P. Chiller

As Bono from U2 would say   "lemon''   

But I do give the park a lot of credit for trying to save this ride.

To be completely honest, something along the lines of Spiderman at IoA would fit just as well

That would cost more than Ka. I don't see Six Flags affording one of those ever. But it would certainly be the best ride in the park if did come to fruition.

I'll simply be happy with a coaster that emulates the experience of the Incredible Hulk or Dueling Dragons @ IoA.  Hopefully Bizarro captures some of that magic.

I think a lot of people will end up surprised by Bizzaro - in a positive way. With that said, we will all have to wait and see.

If it's anything like X2's  music and flames it's going to be awesome!  Old Medusa kicked ass as well, Not like they changed the track.  Either way, I'm just excited to ride it again.

That's how you should feel about any new ride, Don't except much going in. This way you won't be disappointed Debbie Downer.

If they match up to X2 or even go beyond that, then the hype is gonna be well worth it.
