I would like to ask this simple question: What is the point of taken pictures if you wont share.

If you have pictures, please share the wealth. Other people who cant get pictures would like to see them.

Old arrows might be rough, but they are the most gorgous rides to date.

So, we are getting closer and closer to the days when you can go and get your season passes. Will we be able to walk back to where Xcalibur is and see it? Also, please share the pictures!

Season pass processing dates are April 5 and 6 and on April 12. At least on April 12 you will be allowed to ride some rides in the park, could happen the other two days but I don't know. The rumor is that a section of the park may open for an hour then close and another section open. Call the park for more details about what exactly is going to happen. You should be able to see Xcalibur at some point on those dates and maybe even ride it. Most of the cars are now on the ride and the que line has been poured. Don't ask me why the top of the ride has not been painted yet.

It hasn't been painted because they are going to flip it so they can get to it easier. Also, I have heard that sections of the parks will be open for season pass processing, but I don't know whay or when.

Greatest theme park ride: Steam train

May the Tommy G. Robertson live forever.

I got to see the ride today. I am very impressed by it. The theming (at least the ride) is just like the artist rendering. The ride also shocked me with the size of it, I could not belive how big this thing was. You could see it from almost anywere in the park. As far as work is conserned, it appears its ready to go, except for the control booth, but other then that it looks ready.

Kinda off the beat, does anyone know if they are going to redo the privecy barriors, by the ride(the ones that are by Calicos ad the restrooms). I ask this because left as is everyone that rides it will have a clear veiw of some rather unsightly back areas. Such as Vending, three dumbsters and about six lovly barrels of Turkey grease, that give off a lovely aroma in the summer.

The ride should be testing this week, they are checking to make sure there is enough clearance on the concrete under the ride, so it does not scrape the ground. I think that the ride is going to rotate first towards the bathrooms.

They are probably not going to change the fencing around the ride area, you won't be able to tell what is happening when you are spinning around as much as you do on this ride.

Whenever the park opens somebody is going to have to take pictures to show the people in NJ how impressive the ride looks now, it is one of the best themed rides at Six Flags St. Louis.

I was at the park yesterday and they were clearing out underneath the ride so they would have clearance to move the ride. Driving by there today, I saw that they had it flipped upside down so they could paint the top of it.

I drove by the park today (March 30th) and the top was painted. It also looked like they were testing a bunch of rides today. I saw Batman on the lift sitting there, The Boss the same thing, and they were taking an empty train around. About 20 days till opening!

------------------
If practice makes perfect but noone is perfect, then why practice.

XCALIBUR tested successfully today (March 31). The theming of the ride is almost done. You should be able to ride it sometime on April 12 (season pass day), call park for exact details on what is going on April 12. Pass processing is on April 5, April 12 and April 13. You will see the ride for sure if you come out for processing.

Yeah I saw it test to day, kinda impressive. Also did you sign up for the photo shoot on April 8th and 9th? Yeah it maybe 4 hours, but you get rides on it and a free season pass. Or 2 comp. passes if you only stay half of it. IF any bodys going let me know.

Now what is this? A photo shoot for the ride? Can anyone go? Wow, that was a lot of questions! Let me know what this is all about! :-)

You have to send in a form. And as far as I know you can only get it from department offices in the park.

Wicked Twister- 7
Magnum- 7

Well, you must have visited on bad days. It's usually open when I'm there, or if it is closed it opens later on. So is it a sure thing that Xcalibur will be open on the 12th?

Yes, well assuming it passes state inspection and it doesnt break down. Aaron what tiem is the season pass processing. And Mr. Freeze is almost always open. Although it seems to break down at least once for a week durning the summer each year.

Im thinking about going on the 18th. Do you guys think that would be a good day to go? Is spring break that week down around there or anything? Also do you think most of the rides would be operating, excluding the new one? thanks.
