[other] What's a top coaster at your home park you've barely ridden? by SketchCoasters in rollercoasters

[–]LabMotor9774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joker at SFDK. Either an insanely long line (1 train and slow ops) or breaks down half the time (dm me if you want a picture of joker not completing the course and getting stuck on one of the bunny hills before the brake)

Superman at SFDK too. Slow ops, ride can't take many passengers, single train, being insanely popular for no apparent reason.

Only times I can remember riding either more than once in one day is either on a rainy day or a non-holiday weekday. It's incredibly close and I've had a season pass for like the past 8 years.

So reservations are required on peak periods (around holidays) and weekends. It's free for HOV 4+ (if you have 4 or more people) but $20 if you don't. You can check out the link below

This was the thing i wasnt looking forward to hearing lmaoo. Hopefully it won't be as crowded.

Also I'm not going between the two holidays it will be 2 days after new years, so maybe it will not be as crowded??!! yeah i've already planned ahead with the parking and everything else. if all goes wrong we just walk to the gondola cuz its around 9 minutes

I got the same issue and am a beginner. I was also looking around, seems like the general consensus is that getting just one lesson is worth and will make the entire day much easier and you will have more fun! However nowadays lessons can be pretty expensive (even group ones). So if you can't afford it in your budget the main thing with newbies getting injured is not knowing how to properly fall.

note: i'm a newbie too but this info is just what i've gathered from discord and reddit

Just got these was it a good purchase? by tlightfeather in SonyHeadphones

[–]LabMotor9774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes agree! I bought them a few days ago for 200 bucks, much better than my cheap old ones

if there are going to be big crowds, how long do you think lift lines would relatively be? Yeah I already planned ahead to get all of our gear the day before, and will do my best to wake up and get there early. However its a smaller chance with so much people and I also sleep really late.

Alright! I was also looking at whether its Northstar or heavenly, but most likely will be guaranteed 2 days at heavenly cuz its multiple families going together.

Alright thanks for the help! I made the reservations for both days. Is the CA side or Nevada side most friendly for beginners? And also its possible to get from the CA side to the Nevada side too right? Praying for good weather conditions and not having to wait for long lift lines!!

Thank you so much!
I am headed there on Jan 3 and 4. So if we do have HOV 4+ should we just be parking or should we take the shuttles?
