Get off my ass.... Here's my positive SFMM review

LMAO Tina! :)

As for shops and stalls, I can guarantee two things.

1. The most popular shop in the parks will be The Packed Fudge.

2. All the stalls in the parks will have holes in them.

....and I'll have the Glory Holes play all my stage shows! :)

mmmm....fudge (drooool)

I can't wait to see the uniforms!

Can Lemiwinks be the official mascot?

...so I decided to check out various trip reports tonight after checking out some of the responses to the one I wrote eariler in the week.

"Wow! 7 Pages of responses. This must be a good one!"

I read the whole TR as well as all the saucy responses and just like a ride on X, I am still scratching my head trying to figure out what just happened.

I also found my few rides on Scream to be rather jarring. My only guess is something different has been done as far as fabrication goes. I also felt the same feeling on Dominator but on Scream it was much more pronounced.

X is a strange ride. Not only because of the things it does, but the way it runs. My first rides on it soon after opening were amazing. With each visit the ride seemed to be rougher. My last ride, almost two years ago, was so violent I passed on another ride, even with a short line. I guess it's one of those rides that you have to know the right train to sit in, the right side to sit in, and the planets have to be all aligned or something.

Thanks for the TR!

LOL! I agree, Sean!

I am still wondering wtf happened as well. What a FREAKY ride!

Luckily Jodi was there to guide me for my first three rides. The first was blissful (in a OMG WHAT is happening?!?!?! F***!!!) The second time was blissful but predictable. The third time was a headbanger. The fourth was a migraine.

I LOVED it, but I am not sure what to make of it. lol.

Scream I found to be VERY smooth that day. Maybe I got it on good day? I had three rides in a row and I LOVED it!

Scream, B:DK, Dominator....I think there's *something* about the floorless design that leaves the TRAINS a little more susceptible to wear and tear....perhaps the wheels themselves bear more of the brunt of the weight distirbution?

I don't "mind" the bumpiness that I *do* feel on some of the floorlesses (oddly enough, haven't been on Kraken in a couple YEARS so I couldn't say about that one, LOL)...but I can tell what others are feeling that honestly should NOT be happening when the track clearly LOOKS to be in fine shape.

Dave? Anyone else?

Bill,

I had similar thoughts as well, however, the one thing that made me think the floorless train design wasn't at fault is that I have only felt that vibration on three of the floorless coasters. Dominator, Batman: Dark Knight, and Scream. I didn't feel that vibration in the rest of the floorless coasters I have ridden. Perhaps I just rode them on a good day. Who knows?
