![]() ![]() Overall i have to say the park is not terrible but comparing it to my real home park which is CGA its no comparison CGA is better maintained more coasters are running multiple trains, nothing is in disrepair in plane sight there and given Railblazers addition CGA has a better coaster lineup with more real coasters even though most are quite outdated and/or short. I'll not get into the status of many older flat rides there that are basically abandoned outside of the "thrill" sections of the park. The Joker's 2nd train was there but had some plastic or something over most seats didn't look ready to go but surly its mid summer and this is the best ride there they should have it running two by now! the Flash was closed no sign of anything or any reason, Harley Quinn ride also closed and all the plastic seats have been removed and when i was walking in before open there was exactly one person working on the seat mounts with a drill at the time so it appears they are retrofitting new seats onto it or modifying it in some way but once again appear to not be in any rush whatsoever in getting it back up and running. Kong's 2nd train is easily visable and clearly not anywhere near operable there are no restraints on the cars at all on it it looks like its being used for parts. worth noting that Medusa has 3 trains and the 3rd train was in the bay clearly not ready to go. Of all the major rides only Medusa and Batman were running more than one train. line was about 45 min at least but i slogged through it and rode in 3rd car from the front and frankly it wasn't terrible to me, i would never wait in that long of a line for it ever again but it didn't live up to its head banging rep it has to me which is i guess so infamous even the ride OP was making side comments the whole time i was in line about how rough it was and they always joked when the train came back in about how amazing the ride was. So I went back over to medusa side of the park and decided surely Kong wouldn't have a long line because its well known to be terrible right? wrong. after that i roamed the park for some beer and food and checked out the rest and animal exhibits a bit then thought i might get back in line for the joker again but line was ridiculously long and slow thanks to single training it. after batman i debated waiting to get on superman but given the sour taste in my mouth from batman spinner and the long lines i figured it would just be a waste and a similar gimmic so i went back over to the medusa side of the "thrill park" if you will and to my suprise it was even shorter wait there nearly walk on so got on it again, it is a great coaster. ![]() so far joker easily best ride here (knew i would be) and Medusa is a great floorless B&M. not a big fan of the ride though little to no g-forces its all just spin and scare you crap, i'll pass going forward its a glorified carnival zipper to me. Morning started out good sense i hung out in DC area and they opened joker around 11 am and i got on pretty fast, then i went to medusa, about a 10 minute wait not bad then i headed back over to DC area and go in line for batman. So, it looks like the park's best ride will be back to two-train operation soon (if it isn't already). For the rest of the day, the ride ran with only one train, while the other train sat on the transfer track, being worked on by mechanics throughout the day. Though, they took the train off before opening the ride. They were running it empty when the park first opened (with the plastic wrap still over the seats). The good news: The Joker's second train is back (as of yesterday). They did, though, get The Flash up and running in the early afternoon. Superman was open right on time, while Wonder Woman opened later in the day. Batman opened pretty promptly (though not exactly at 10:30, while Joker opened at about 11. Superman was perhaps a full half hour after that. The Joker was the first to open at 11, followed by Batman close to noon. I went last Wednesday, and none of the rides in the DC area were open at the park's opening time. ^I agree, the park has been pretty inconsistent as of late. ![]()
