for B&M, i noticed bizzaro and nitro both have 1/3 posted times for waits, batman is probably the longest wait (a true full wait of 2 hours worst case full line), along with superman since they load inefficently when it comes to people getting on. it seems 3 to 1 when i count in line of trains sent out comparing nitro and batman. it really depends on how fast they are are loading the trains too. some workers move slow, the managers and some others check very quick, but i like those pessimistic posted wait times, they work in my favor when a ton choose to leave line since it's "too long"

Bizarro - Special Effects = Fun, yet slightly disappointing.

I also learned yesterday that Wade has poor timing. :P

Explain Wade?  Only he can do that.  I'm pretty sure he reads this thread.

In the same day Reggie gets on rapids in 30 minutes while I walked away from a full queue and a two hour wait just two hours earlier :(

Then we went to ride the skyride after seeing both sides running all day and it closed lol. Presumably because of high winds.

I also learned on that visit that if the last switchback through the garden before you go into the "Sewer" part of the queue is being used, it's about a 45 minute wait.

nitro at night in the back left corner is friggin awsome =], and if you get stuck at the top of el toros lift at night for 10 minutes because someone screams i didnt buckle my belt, and the poor ride op runs up there, the ride op is in figgin shape, and the following ride will be the best ever

What makes it the best ride ever and what does the ride op being in shape have anything to do with it?


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

the ride op has nothing to do with it just stating he was in shape lol, he made it to the top of the hill in about a minute. and it was the suspense of being stuck, my 2nd ride on el toro ever, it was right b4 park closing, like 70 degrees, just everything felt perfect. and it was hilarious we got stuck because i was talking about what would happen if we did inline. thats imo though

i havent heard of it getting stuck in awhile, this was a safety stop because of someone being dumb. i do think it was back around 06ish 07 it used to randomly stop on the lift hill.

If both cars are on Rolling Thunder and are dispatched at the same time, RT is much more fun.I think it is more likely that the left side will win.. Also, only ride it in the front!
