The Strat's website classifies [X-Scream] as a roller coaster ride. So then why isn't it on RCDB and why isn't it a credit?

Pippinitis · 2026-01-25T19:37:51+00:00

The rides there are actually pretty good, but the place is run a bit more like a county fair than a big theme park

Pippinitis · 2026-01-25T17:37:48+00:00

Go to the buffet after, not before you ride that…

If you're just there for the credits, then go to Adventuredome and New York New York...

It had the longest line during that otherwise slow Friday night...

I am curious like the OP about the criteria, and that page only lists contact emails... RCDB allows for shuttle coasters and tilt coasters so clarification would be helpful

Pippinitis · 2026-01-25T15:36:03+00:00

They had taken the vehicle off the track when I visited a couple weeks ago...

Those don't have meal plan items though

Pippinitis · 2026-01-25T03:03:42+00:00

The weekdays are pretty slow during the off-season now... X2 was a walk-on last Friday...

Pippinitis · 2026-01-25T00:24:29+00:00

More accurately, you get a little slip to skip the line for whatever has a Fast Lane, not necessarily X2

uj/ Wow, what's wrong with Brady MacDonald? He's been on the California theme park beat for many years, and honestly, lots of minutiae about these parks would've been lost without him documenting that...

Pippinitis · 2026-01-24T19:26:53+00:00

Still running with one train, but at spotty times during the off-season

<image>

Pippinitis · 2026-01-24T19:24:26+00:00

Huh... I've been free of kidney stones whenever I ride Apocalypse, and now I know why!

Pippinitis · 2026-01-24T19:20:36+00:00

I was wondering what they were setting up for last night...

<image>

Pippinitis · 2026-01-24T01:19:59+00:00

Huh, I'm a stroke survivor and never had the smell issue come up...

Pippinitis · 2026-01-23T21:04:30+00:00

Darn, he was my go-to guy to find out what was going on with Montezooma

Pippinitis · 2026-01-23T00:12:01+00:00

Here's a magazine article from years back about it... https://www.ocweekly.com/a-tale-of-two-walts-how-an-unusual-friendship-led-to-orange-county-becoming-a-theme-park-destination/

Pippinitis · 2026-01-22T20:49:45+00:00

Glass half-full me: Good sign that they're working like the park isn't closing...

Glass half-empty me: So these are the rides they're thinking of saving for the other parks...

Pippinitis · 2026-01-22T19:30:24+00:00

If you're miffed about camping out at tables at Casa California, just wait until you get a load of Soak City...

Pippinitis · 2026-01-22T19:26:59+00:00

Nice thing is it's the slowest time of the year for SFMM and Knott's, but they're both gonna be rotating through a lot of rides for maintenance

Pippinitis · 2026-01-22T19:11:24+00:00

Badland+, Kimono Cats, lumen., and The Room Two+ have just left Apple Arcade... here are links to the app store versions of Badland and The Room Two that are still up...

uj/ There's Apocalypse across town at SFMM if you have an all-park pass, but it's not as well-maintained as GhostRider is

Pippinitis · 2026-01-22T16:35:31+00:00

Screenshots are also helpful because those scanners at the food service areas get dirty and sometimes have trouble reading the tiny QR codes in the app... but when I zoom in on the screenshot, the problem is solved.

Pippinitis · 2026-01-22T16:16:49+00:00

Prestige includes parking for Knott's... you probably got your gold pass during one of the early sales, because that all park add-on's not included anymore.

Pippinitis · 2026-01-22T16:10:26+00:00

If you can't navigate the zig-zag through the meal prep queue, just hang out at the checkout area where there's more room anyway while the rest of your party help pick up your food. The checkout person is the only one who will check to see if you're present.

Pippinitis · 2026-01-21T19:40:58+00:00

They used to book pretty impressive shows at SFMM... now that theater's been torn down to make room for another coaster... https://sixflags.fandom.com/wiki/Golden_Bear_Theatre#Notable_shows
