    Rides Closing in Bad Weather?

    I was at Great Adventure the last few days, and lots of bad storms were moving in. The park started closing down all of the outdoor coasters. We didn't even get a single drop of rain (on the first storm, little bit different than the storm the next day that put half an inch of water on the...

    Coaster With Longest Opening Day Wait?

    What coaster on it's opening day had the longest wait? I have heard many numbers that were big like Coney Island Cyclone and Magnum back in the day had huge waits, but do we know which coaster had the biggest wait? I feel like some poor capacity coaster (like Superman at SFDK) or a ride like...

    California Adventure vs. Hollywood Studios

    These disney parks are very similar to each other. Both parks are very small and have very similar rides that can be easily compared. They both have fantastic launching coasters with music.

    Park To Have Best Wood and Steel Coaster?

    Somewhat of an odd question (hopefully not already asked, if it is, sorry). Do you see a park get the best wood and steel coaster in both Mitch Hawker/Golden Ticket awards? I'm not saying it will happen, but what park do you see getting it? Even though I think it probably will not happen, I...

    X2

    1. What causes X2 to break down all the time? I know it was a prototype, but whenever it broke when I was there no one knew why. Is it just the computer or the restraints are poorly made? 2. Why is it always closed? Does it cost so much to run they won't run it on off days or is it too much of...

    Lap Bars On Full Throttle

    When I rode full throttle for the first time the other day the employees would get mad at you every time you lowered the lap bar before they lowered it for you. Is there a reason for this? I thought it might be to speed up loading but they don't do it on any other rides. Is it something in the...

    Rides Ridden Featured On Bert The Conqueror?

    Bert the Conqueror was a small two season show that aired on the travel channel a few years ago. Was not the best show in the world and had many issues to it but had some interesting rides featured on it. He rides some of the general ones and some odd ones in the United States. My list. Yankee...

    Best Time To Visit Magic Mountain?

    Sorry if this has already been asked. I was wondering what month/ time of year is the best to visit magic mountain when lines will be the smallest but you can expect for most of the rides to be open. Living on the east coast I am not use to parks that can operate almost year round, so I don't...
