I know you are a credit person, but do you have any opinions of the rides you rode? Did you enjoy Rolling Thunder? !!! :P What did they change from Poison Ivy ride to Catwoman? Do you think Bizarro is the best ride you have ridden? I think the one at SFA is pretty awesome of a roller coaster, but (Yes, that's a different design than SFNE) it's not my favorite roller coaster - That's #9 to me for roller coasters.

How was Batman at SFNE? Someone said it rides just like Batman the Ride (inverted), but this is sitdown? Is Great Escape a dump, or a good park?

Rolling Thunder wasn't that Great in my opinion cause of the Seating Style and I had the Restraints on Too Tight. I've Ridden Worse (Trust Me)

This was my 1st time to SFNE, So I Don't know what they changed. Probably all they changed was the Statue in front of the Ride.

I Really LOVE Bizarro. It beats Raging Bull hands Down. The Audio Doesn't work on all the Seats however. It offers WAY WAY WAY more airtime than Millennium Force ever could.

It's Been awhile since I Rode SROS at SFAm, but if you like it, don't let anyone tell you otherwise

Batman at SFNE is pretty Good. Not as good as some other B&M's but it's one of those that starts off the bat and doesn't stop until the brakes.

Great Escape isn't a Dump Per Say but I have Doubts it will ever become a True Six Flags Park. It needs 1-2 Major New Coasters, Several Rides, and a Complete Waterpark Upgrade. It is to Six Flags as Michigan's Adventure is to Cedar Fair. It's Kinda hard to make it a Six Flags Park due to "Alice in Wonderland", "Cinderella", and "Captain Hook" in the Park.

I felt in every Six Flags park had Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and so on done nicely they would so do a hurt on Disney. However, you can't just get a flat package from Zamperla, make an Alice in Wonderland ride out of it, and expect people to not go to Disney.

I have a few questions.

Where is Bizarro on your top list?

Is Boulder Dash really as good as people say?

Was Great Escape worth it?
Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.
Coaster Count: 167 (41 Wood, 125 Steel)

Bizarro is in my Top 5, Look at My Profile LOL

Boulder Dash is INSANE, I Refuse to Give any Details. Only Ride it at Night!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Escape is Meh, but it's Not Great. If you have a Six Flags Pass, it'd be worth it. If not, don't pay full price to visit it but I can't say it's not-so-bad you shouldn't visit it.

You went all this way and have no pictures to share?

Bizarro is quite possibly the most overrated coaster in the world. Millennium force kicks the $hit out of it.

Boulder Dash is insane and awesome, but not quite as good as say el toro

Great Escape is a nice little place but Isn't really worth it unless your in the area. I'd get bored if I had to spend an entire day there
Make B&M Great Again.

I'm Just saying I've Ridden Smoother SLC's. Almost all their Coasters are rough and In Pretty Bad Shape. Oh and their Parade BLOWS!!!!!!

Funny SLC Story:

I Was at Kentucky Kingdom in 2003 and was talking about coasters; Someone behind me said "T2 Came from Opryland." He is Wrong Cause:

a- T2 Opened in 1995
b- Opryland's Hangman Closed with the Park in 97'

It's not bad at all in any row and looks amazing. The park did an A+ job with the paint and landscaping.

Oprylands SLC went to SFDK where it still operates.

Best SLC I've ever ridden is either Traumatizer at Southport Pleasureland as it was pretty much B&M smooth on the day I was there, or Great Noreaster at Moreys Piers, it's always been one of the roughest ones out there, and still is, but now it has flyer vests and it makes the ride extremely re-ridable and fun.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping
Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
