My god, how can Six Flags simply flush this park away like this? For the past three years the park has gotten progressively worse. I know that other Six Flags parks are not even close to this bad. There was about 2500 people waiting to get into the park at opening, and the security and ticket crew sat around talking waiting for a manager to approve opening. The manager was 30 minutes late, so the park opened late. Superman, Golioth, X, Scream and Deja Vu were all down and Riddlers, Viper, and Batman were all one train op. The lines averaged about 2-3 hours for most of the open coasters. Over half the kiosks and food stands were closed (isn't this Summer high season?). The staff seemed like they could care less about the guests and most of the guests spent their time in line complaining about how bad the park was. There were a ton of thugs cutting in line as well. I'm not a small guy, and they cut right in front of me on the Riddler. The security guy was right there and he didn't utter a peep. This used to be by far my favorite park, and it is now probably the worst. I am dumbfounded considering the size of the market that Six Flags is allowing this park to be so mismanaged. It breaks my heart to say this was probably my last trip to MM for a long time.
