How long was the line?

[BizarroAj]

The line wasnt bad it was just in the switchbacks in the old SWF's station building. When that switchback is full the wait time sign says 1 hour but it moves alot faster than that when the ride isnt having issues like it was today. I have some pics from today but all i had with me was my cell, because i was waiting to take lots of pics at Media day on wednesday.

Heres some pics from today, enjoy!

Waiting for it to open

the ops did a great job with the single rider line

Is it assigned seating?

[BizarroAj]

^no you get to choose which row you want.

Okay good, because in one of the pictures it looked like people were being directed into rows.

One more question: Do they let a trainful of people in at a time, and you have to find an empty row like Thunderbolt, or is it like Bizarro, where you can wait longer for a certain row?

[BizarroAj]

^i only saw them letting people wait for the front row, but they let you into the station as soon as gates close and the trains loaded, so you get to stand there as the train comes flying through the station. The first drop is awesome but i sat in the front row and i think the drop would be much better in the last row. I was with my son and he doesnt have seasonpass so i only rode it the one time. I will ride it alot more at media day and get alot better pics.

Maybe we can ride the back together on Media Day! I definitely want to try the front for the view.

How was your ride?! Nadine said it's not rough - that it's similar to batman which is awesome!

Did you only get to ride once?

[BizarroAj]

^I rode in the same seat that nadine rode in and it was not rough at all, but i cant speak for any of the other rows.

Norbert is sending me two videos. One of it running with people and one with a breakdown. They will be up as soon as I get them!
