      @@travisvanalst4698 Here’s my thing…
      SFGAm is my home park and it’s one of my happy places. So, there may be some bias. But I do think the lineup here is one of the most criminally underrated. Super balanced from top to bottom. A nice diversity in the lineup as well. I do think that CP still has the best lineup, but I’d truly take SFGAm as my home park over CP. Part of the reason being that on truly busy days, I don’t find myself disappointed by the “filler” coasters in the park. The fact that we have one of the more underrated woodie collections also helps. CP having a lack of wood hurts it imo. I understand why people may not feel that SFGAm doesn’t have any “elite” or “destination” coasters, what it does have more than satisfies me. And the fact that many of the rides are prototypes (while also still being great rides despite their ages) is respectable as well. It shows that Great America hasn’t been afraid to take chances. SFGAm will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️

    6 years is the longest GA has ever gone between coasters. The 90s saw Iron Wolf (1990), Batman:The Ride (1992), Viper (1995), and Raging Bull (1999) with Giant Drop as a thrill ride addition to bridge the gap between Bull and Viper in 1997.

    There were 2 things confirmed from the press conference for this ride.
    1. There will be a lot more theming than what was shown, they are currently working with a designer for theming for the ride and a revamp for that area. There was intentionally a lack of theming in the animation for that reason, they’re planning to go all out.
    2. The ride will have pass-through lockers before you board, since the ride is going over the pathways.

    How to ride with a B&M vest restraint:
    1) Make yourself big to get some room when the ride op checks your restraint
    2) Ride consciously, and hold the restraint out, and off of you so it does not come down on you during positive G moments like the valleys
    3) Enjoy your ride, and being able to breathe on the brake run.
    I never have issues riding any B&M with vest restraints, and theres 2 of them at my home park. Just get yourself some room, and youll be good.
