For a continuous loading ride, this one seems to take forever, and it has all the atmosphere of the sweaty body in line next to you. NYT
From: nekochan on 24 Jul 2010 19:01 six flags, universal and seaworld all have 'pay extra and go to the front of the line passes'. I still can't believe Disney is passing up this goldmine - I'm sure there are ALOT of people out there who would be happy to shell out the extra money.

On the other hand, there are reasons we don't go to Six Flags, Universal, and Seaworld. -- Caren TDC Queen of Adventureland

I'm okay with the fast rides except for the fact that I'm obliged to wear a hairpiece which always beings wind velocity into consideration. I've dared a few, with enough preparation, and they don't seem to be as risky as I thought. I finally got up the nerve to do The Hulk coaster at IoA on my last visit. Strangely enough I've never lost my glasses on any of the rides though I have parted with a couple of hats. Six Flags has been getting an increasing number of coasters but I still find enough to do there. -- Lilith |
