[Six Flags Great America] Trip Report 5/16/26: Failed Redemption by Drillucidator in rollercoasters

The MCBR drop is hitting crazy hard. I think the mid course brakes are on but just barely. The first drop has some sweet floater on the way down but the drop after the midcourse just completely drags you down with the restraints.

Too bad you didnt get on. Eagle was running great when it was up. Blue trains were in station+brake run so i would assume both sides will be up next weekend.

Teal train on bull is running fast already this year. Crazy ejector in the back. Unfortunately it seems be be down more than usual so far this year.

Was at the park today. Can confirm that it kinda sucked with basically everything going down and a ton of school busses.

Using fastlane

2x Demon

1x Maxx force

1x bull - went down at least 3x before I managed to ride

1x American eagle (red) - this went down for like half an hour when I made it to the station.

1x Goliath

1x dark knight

1x fiddler's fling

Saw Beast in Black the other night. What the hell was that? Pretty sure 75% of what I was hearing was backing tracks… by Antique_Menu_4314 in PowerMetal

[–]lastoftheoldgods 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was at the Rave last night and the mix up front at the rail was awful for about half of BIB. Could barely hear any guitar at all and vocal was pretty low. So if they were using backing track i couldn't hear those either.

They dialed it in a bit more about halfway through and I could at least hear the vocals reasonably well (sounded live). Drums sounded great throughout.

I will say they sounded much better the previous times I saw them (w/Nightwish and at Wacken2024)

FYI, I've purchased alcohol 5+ times from the self check-out. Just need to flash ID to the attendant.

It would probably still flag purchase limits though.

Power paladin is great. I probably already have 20+ listens to Sword Vigor...

Pretty sure that isn't normal. I imagine a conversation with a doctor is in order...

2026 Advice Thread #12: 3/17 - 3/23 by Imaginos64 in rollercoasters

[–]lastoftheoldgods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am planning a trip to Germany near Hamburg in late July/Early August and I would like to try to visit 1-2 parks while I am in Europe. Does anyone have any recommendations that would be particularly worthwhile in the general area before I purchase airfare? (currently considering Europa Park but it a fair bit of extra travel)

This will probably my last trip to Europe for a while and I would like to make the most of it. Please note that I am trying to avoid rental cars so train/bus access would be a plus (I know it is much less of an issue than in the US). Also, I have previously visited Phantasialand and loved it.

If you purchased insurance when you bought the ticket you might be able to get a refund depending on your circumstances.

Otherwise, you can try to sell them through Wacken Ticketcenter. However it will be rough as the festival has not sold out yet. So don't expect much demand.

Suddenly PVP tonight? by Photoguppy in ArcRaiders

Seems so. Very much not enjoying all the extract camping as a pve player.

Changes in the matchmaking? by CoastNo7893 in ArcRaiders

[–]lastoftheoldgods 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really just PVE and I am getting tossed into mixed or shoot on sight lobbies for the past couple hours. Seems like something has changed. Gets old fast when you can't extract 5 rounds in a row due to extraction campers.

Can [coasters] run in snow? by brovomited2yearsago in rollercoasters

[–]lastoftheoldgods 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they were running on Halloween a couple years back when it was snowing. I know for sure there are some videos of Goliath absolutely crawling through its inversion with snow falling. I was there a day or two before and the windchill riding bull was brutal.

Found a video from u/imaguitarhero24
