Heading over there with a friend today.

Hopefully X-Flight will be open, won't suck, and I won't get stuck behind many slow moving amerifat familys with cotton candy and butter drool stains on their white church shirts

And what will you do when you bump into American Eagle's #1 (only 1) fan?

I was there a few days ago. X-flight was an excellent and very different experience, and the queue was never longer than 45 minutes. The line goes pretty quickly even though the station employees are slow as crap and crawl from row to row. Hopefully by the time you've returned here to CC, you'll have ridden it multiple times in different places on the train!

Protect your ankles from the ankle biting strollers and their parents pushing said strollers while txting or otherwise not giving a crap.

Speaking of strollers, while I was there, some woman with her family took a stroller loaded with child all the way through the line, up the stairs, and into the station of Vertical Velocity. Thought it was a little unnecessary considering she didn't ride.

Good Luck with X-Flight. Rode it yesterday 4th row right wing after waiting 2 hours. (Damn Gold Flash Pass) It stalled on the lift for 15 minutes.

Point out that since he has no balls he couldn't handle the ride in its rough days and would probably hate it then since now it's like a stripper with obvious tit implants because of the steel track section.

For those who don't know the ride has "reverse topper track" from a while ago where the wooden beams are on an I-beam. It rides pretty smooth but the wooden track to I-beam transition is pretty obvious. The drop and hill hills after until the helix have the I beams.

The airbrushed fire on the red Eagle train was a nice touch.

X-Flight was neat but shakey in the outer seats. Rode it back left side outer seat.

My friend and I destroyed Ragin Cajun when our combined weight was triple the little single rider that got stuck with us on the other half of the train. The kid was barely tall enough and skinny. The ride ops told us they're never seen the car spin that hard before.

Batman is still the only ride that makes me dizzy.

Airbrushing the Demon trains are super BADASS, especially the black one. The black train looks weird without the typical Arrow stripe on it. Hopefully they'll keep bringing back the old theming from before the religi-tards ruined it.

I had no idea Am Eagle had some topper track, I did comment to my party that it was probably the smoothest wooden coaster I've ever ridden. I really enjoyed the ride, we rode it three times.
