Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

The completely redone website is now up and it looks good. There is a lot more information than before. They have more details on the rides list (Thrill rating, Height req, location, FlashPass)

One thing I don't like is that the calendar isn't color coded anymore, you have to roll over the specific day to see hours. Other than that it is just small errors that surface everytime they redo the website. They haven't finished the Flash Pass column of the rides list (All of our rides say Flash Pass = NO) Also, the Raging Bull page doesnt work.

The site looks good, colorful, easy to navigate. The American Eagle is still not 147 ft. tall. I suppose the purpose of the site isn't to inform us nerds about pointless statistics, but it would still be nice to have accurate information from the people who own the thing. Makes me wonder what else could be wrong . . . and where this NA themed area is.

So how about that Six Flags SkyDrifter game?

The thrill rating is completely bogus, because they say Whizzer is scarier then Viper and Cajun is scarier then American Eagle......huh?!
Eh.......I got nothing.

Looks good. I have noticed that some of the height requirements have changed. I wonder though, it says that you have to be 42" to ride The Whizzer. Is that by yourself, or with an adult? Perhaps they should make that alittle more clearer.
If it walks like socialist, quacks like socialist, smells like a socialist, .... it's a socialist. Hope, and change we can believe in.

^^ My guess is that any height requirement that is different than before is a typo. I highly doubt they would change so many height requirements in one year. Most obvious example of typo is Logger's Run says 42" while Yankee Clipper says there is no minimum.

Whizzer should say 36" minimum and under 42" must be accompanied by an adult.

Whoa! Thanks for catching that one Danhockey04. We are obviously working through a lot of changes including stats and height requirements. With 20+ park sites to build, clearly they got some of the info mixed up.
