I find the comfort of Eurofighters to be second to none. Headbanging is mild if you're shorter, taller people tend to have no problem.
They are awesome seats.
With all this testing, and the themeing nearly complete on Spongebob it looks like we may see some soft opens before the 15'th.
And lastly it appears Spongebob has a lack of arms on the ride sign. And in a front view Patrick only has one arm.

Spongebob as of last night was still just testing, though there were human riders yesterday, lots of mall staff. And both Spongebob and Avatar are testing aroundt the clock.

Mall of America is NOT where you want to be right now. Looks like all of Minnesota came to check out the new coaster.

Nickelodeon Universe looks insane. Halfpipe at Elitch Gardens rocked, and the Euro Fighter looks sweet. I can't wait to go!!!

I think the park was actually expecting more. Someone who works at the mall that posts on another forum said the mall was expecting like 65,000+ today and that all parking lots would be in use for the first time in a while.

65,000 is a lot for a indoor park! I was thinking about going opening day, I'm glad I didn't! I was expecting a lot of people not a whole Spongbob mob!
