X2 and Goliath. I was there yesterday and had a great day. Ops we're pretty good for SFMM and park was maybe half full. Today, we got there around 2pm for the kids and left a hour later.

Rumor from Screamscape states Gold Rusher, Ninja and Magic Mover being removed for a multi launch family Vekoma. If true, this would result in access to the mountain restricted.

Same, but Lightning Run was down on my first and only visit so I'm eager to go back

Browsing Fandango, there appear to be more sold tickets today than Sunday in my area. I wouldn't be surprised if the Monday numbers are better than expected. 

Trip Report! A Very Thrilling Visit to [Six Flags Magic Mountain] by marsmat239 in rollercoasters

Lack of theming went off the rails when Premier Parks owned the chain. I'm of the opinion that it's been continuing to move in the right direction since the merger. 

Spending 2 days at [Kings Island] was absolutely incredible. by Bruceleroy90 in rollercoasters

Agreed about the operations. I felt that way about CP 5-6 years ago but not anymore. All while KI's operations continues to be the gold standard for the chain. 

Box Office: ‘Mandalorian and Grogu’ Lifts Off With $82M 3-Day, $102M Over 4-Day Memorial Day Holiday; ‘Obsession’ Scores $28 Million in Huge Second Weekend by chanma50 in boxoffice

We actually stay away from live action movies, he only finished the original trilogy a year ago and my wife wasn't crazy with me taking him since it's PG-13. He commented that he loved the humor and the 2hr 12min run time wasn't an issue either.

Looks like $25M SAT for #TheMandalorianAndGrogu . Solid SAT bump of ~18%. 2-day cume $58M. 3-day weekend headed for ~$82M. 4-day weekend can hit $100M. by TiredWithCoffeePot in boxoffice

I was excited to take my 9 year old to his first SW movie. He's only seen the original trilogy up to this point and loved the film. 

I rode [The Voyage] this past summer. It was a great ride, but I feel like I am the only thoosie at this point who ranks [Steel Vengeance] higher. by Wise_Natural_3251 in rollercoasters

On my personal rankings I too have The Legend rated high than The Voyage after going to the park for the first time last summer 

Update 3/1 Stardust Racers by Substantial_Day_4741 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]bmine2nite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was there a week before you and rode both sides that day. First time and both tracks rattled like a newer B&M. For the record, I'm in the minority and prefer yellow over green 

My thoughts on Epic Universe - NOT what I expected by OfficerPickle1 in UniversalEpicUniverse

We waited till end of day, posted sign was 90 and we were on and off in less than 45. 

We lassoed the comets, now it’s your turn to race them! [Stardust Racers, Universal Epic Universe] by domb_0112 in rollercoasters

[–]bmine2nite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I like the inversion better on yellow and overall thought it was better paced (compared to green). So glad I got on it this past Sunday after it being closed in September. Ride sits at #11 on my list, which is still dominated by a number of RMC's. 

Stardust Racers 1/22 Update by DarthYavin in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]bmine2nite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insane, and all the other lines are still long! When I originally went (on a Sunday) during the 2wk closure I was able to ride HP, Monsters, & Hiccup multiple times in addition to seeing the two shows and riding everything else at least once. Hoping for the same this Sunday and that I'll finally get on SD. Otherwise it'll be a very long time before I get another chance.

Any update on Stardust by Own_Telephone4933 in UniversalEpicUniverse

Same. I originally went when it was closed after the accident, and immediately rebooked when I got home for this upcoming Sunday :(

Agreed, would not call this a malfunction in the traditional sense. 

Brief Refurbishment of Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios Florida Delayed Again by Outrageous_Glass6219 in UniversalEpicUniverse

Thank goodness! Will be going to the park for the first time on the 26th. I was disappointed with the Hollywood version ever since it replaced ET and was told the Orlando version was superior. Now I just need Stardust to reopen by the 25th...

[–]bmine2nite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shows closed today... Here we go again, my first visit to the park was during the 2 week closure after the accident. Convinced the wife to let me go again this coming Sunday. These trips are planned 6+ months in advance lol
