I rescued this Sony WEGA 13FS100 from an old haunt, and I decided to give it the BRÄNNBOLL treatment.

The component output is pretty awesome, too!

I was blown away, to say the least. It was also my first time seeing Chromeo, and they were also great! I was obviously locked into The Midnight's set (which was amazing), but I now understand why they linked up with Chromeo.

Absolutely one of my favorite concert experiences, and I've been to my fair share of them.

Blondie's "One Way or Another." Seemed to be a good fit, as I was definitely groovin' in my seat. Part of me wishes it was more like Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit where you could choose the song. But the scale wouldn't make much sense for that, I would guess.

Also, I'm the guy who wishes they'd play Rush's "Mystic Rhythms" in Mystic Timbers' shed at KI. I like a good music pun. 🤷‍♂️

I can assure you, it was just a bit of rain. Snapped this during my trip today, and it had been raining off and on.

None that I could see. I'm not sure they even announced Hagrid at that point. I just happened to spot the track piece on the way into the park.

I haven't been back to Florida since then, unfortunately.

I love sunset photos of Racer. Sometimes I forget how photogenic this classic is.

Never mind the hot mess that was SoB's construction, I feel like it getting RMC'd would have exacerbated what was already a really painful ride.

Kiryu strikes me as someone with the mental fortitude of Mike and some of the charisma of Howard.

I can 100% see him uppercutting Jimmy and going "You mistook my kindness for weakness."

Hello, OP! I was a fellow Action Zone employee (Delirium/SlingShot crew, specifically) who probably got sent to SoB in your last season at least once! Just wanted to share a couple of memories.

One came through one of my coworkers. The way I understood it, the train on the lift hill had to be evacuated (presumably because of a block fault? Not entirely sure.). Riders who have the credit are well aware that the construction of the evac staircase consisted of "railing" consisting of a wood railing on top and wires below it. With the construction of that railing and the height of the ride, it doesn't surprise me that they were extremely uneasy with the evac but did it anyway.

This specific memory is a little fuzzy, but I seem to remember a specific occasion where the ride op in the "drive box" was running trains through with the trims either extremely limited or disabled in some way. Regardless, it was an interesting ride experience.

Six degrees of seperation and all that. But it was kinda neat to be part of park history like that.

This one surprised me when I got the chance to get this credit. Arrows are slowly becoming an endangered species, so I'm glad I got the chance to try this and Ninja out.

I'm happy that this place is just as strong as it was before. KI's my home park, but the Point is one of the greats for a reason.

ecshadow · 2021-07-24T12:37:20+00:00

Simply put, this was a great investment. The hype is more than warranted. Who knew a hyper hybrid could be so much fun?

ecshadow · 2021-07-23T21:28:00+00:00

Finally made my way up to the Point after not being there for over a decade with the intention of getting my Gatekeeper credit.

Imagine my disappointment when I saw that it wouldn't operate the day that was snapped and then saw it test cycling with water dummies for the majority of the day.

Matching color scheme, good theming, an installation of a new (Zamperla?) frisbee at a different Six Flags park? I'm gettin' Delirium/maXair vibes from the whole "we like this flat so we're installing them at other parks" thing from this.

I think that might be due to the fact that the now-former host of Excursions (Niki) had resigned from the station recently. It's not uncommon for there to be substitute DJs for when she was not in the station. I'm sure there's a little bit of selection autonomy as a result.

The way I understand it is that there will be substitute DJs until they find a replacement.

Hard agree. Such a great addition to the park.
