I got to the park with my friends for opening day all excited to go ride superman and cyclone. Cyclone got retracked on the off season and it reallly made a difference. I loved it most out of all the rides that day...

You may be wondering why superman wasnt, well bizarro. Well ill start from the begining. I checked the weather for the morning and it said it was veeeerry windy and cold. Thankfully it was going to be nice by the time i get there. So me and my friends got there and noticed that bizarro wasnt running, and figured; oh its just having technical difficulties...


Well we got in and went running to the entrance to see when it would open. We got there. They said it was not going to open at all today,and i was like wth. I noticed that the other train was not in the station. I decided there was probably in a shop due to big problems or something. Well the problems werent what i quite expected:


We begin walking back up towards scream and we were walking towards the second tunnel. Then i saw something REALLY odd in there. I got closer and then i understood why it would not open all day...

Uhhh yeah...

Just sitting there.

Turns out it vallied during testing. I have a feeling due to the wind and empty trains and freaking headrests that are like sails to the wind.

Good to hear Cyclone is running well..It's still one of my favorite coasters. So many people bitch about the first drop reprofile but the drop still more intense than a LOT of others out there.

I agree its one of my favorite rides ever and they retracked that one really bad valley and the turn down below next to the swaying hill. Its incredible and it isnt tooo smooth its just right.

This deserves no further comment from me other then the following statement which has been prepared straight from my heart and with the utmost tender loving care and sensitivity.

"I told you so."

That is all.

Did it seriously crossed your mind that he was thinking at that moment?
