First day:

Arrived at the park around 6pm, and decided to head to Goliath first. Got on with about a 20 minute wait. Good ride, although I would probably take Raging Bull over it. The first drop was good, and the first airtime hill was really good. The midcourse comes right away in this ride. The helix on this coaster is extremely intense, as I greyed out for about 2 seconds each time. 8/10. I then proceeded to BTR. Same ol same ol. 8/10. Riddler's Revenge was next, and I used the single rider line to get on in about 10-15 minutes because of a breakdown. Definitely the best stand up coaster out there, great drop and great first loop. Being 6'2", I could barely fit onto this. A couple inches taller and I don't even know if I could fit. 8/10
It was then time for Viper, which was a one train wait. Screw all you Arrow haters, this ride owns. I liked it better than Great American Scream Machine and Shockwave, the drop being steeper is the main reason. Typical arrow roughness, but nothing dramatic. 8/10. It was FINALLY time for X, my most anticipated coaster of my life. To my dismay, the single rider line wasn't being used for the 3 days I was there, damn you Six Flags. Got on in about 45-50 minutes. Incredible ride. The first drop is one of the best out there, and the ride is insane from start to finish. Yes its short and yes it is quite rough (definitely smoother on an inside row) but its definitely a top 5 coaster for me. The ending was the only part I found really rough. 10/10.
Since it was dark out already, I decided to head to Scream for a few rides. This coaster didn't have more than a one train wait the entire 3 days I visited. Basically a parking lot version of Medusa. Awesome ride. 8/10. I then headed back to X for one last ride to close out the night and save Tatsu for the next day.

Ride totals:
Goliath: 2
BTR: 1
Riddler's Revenge: 1
Viper: 1
Scream: 2
X: 2

Day 2:

Arrived at opening this time. Went to X to start off the day, great ride as always. Tatsu was next. Great ride, its extremely tall compared to Superman: Ultimate Flight. Seems almost twice as tall. And unlike S:UF, it actually does stuff, like a corkscrew, an awesome zero g roll, a massive pretzel loop and an inline twist. It also flew over the park instead of a grassy field which was great. Wasn't as good as X though, but it was one of B&M's best coasters. 9/10.
After that, I went over by Goliath and Scream for a while, both with very short waits if at all. Re-rode Scream a bunch of times. Got on Colossus as well. Not much to say, not much airtime and quite rough and the bottom of the drops. 4/10. Also got on Ninja and Deja Vu shortly after, thought Ninja was ok, gave it a 5. Deja Vu was kinda weird being off at the edge of the park in the middle of the desert. 8/10.
After climbing the brutal hill to Samurai Summit, I got on Superman: The Escape. Decent launch and the airtime was alright. Not much else to say. 6/10. Around 6, X was about a 2-3 train wait. Rode it 6 or 7 times in a row. Somebody gave me a couple flashpasses which I used on Tatsu. Also went to Tatsu for the last ride of the night, when it was finally using the dual station. Why they decided to open up the 2nd side this late I don't know.

Ride totals:
X: 8
Scream: 10
BTR: 1
Tatsu: 4
Goldrusher: 1
Riddler's Revenge: 1
Ninja: 1
Deja Vu: 1
Viper: 8
Colossus: 1
Superman: The Escape: 3
Goliath: 2
Revolution: 1

Day 3

Decided to go to the park right before closing, got there at 9:20 pm. Not much to say, just rode Scream a couple times then went on X to close out the night.

Overall, I definitely think this park is on the rise. Extremely clean park. Operations were typical Six Flags operations, and Tatsu crew is the worst of the worst.

Another random note: Rode Goliath with Turk from the TV show Scrubs one of the days...

I agree with most of what you say. Viper rules, Tatsu rules, Riddlers rules, and X is the best of all.

No Revolution, though?

^I did go on Revolution once, I just edited it in. Decent coaster, but the restraints are terrible.

God I wish I could have spent 3 days in that park. But my cousin just got a place in Vegas and said I could stay whenever, so maybe sometime I will be able to. Lucky on the lines, X as a 2-3 train wait? Damn thats awesome, glad you had fun. Sorry about the hill of death, we all hated it.
