im doing this from my phone, so in the interest of my sanity im going to keep it brief.

the coasters would all be mediocre at best if not for the music. i was surprised how much that added to the total ride experience. i was determined to experience each of time machine's 5 soundtracks and it took me 13 rides to do so. the 90s track was an evasive lil bugger.

roundabout had at least 4 different tracks and i was able to test out 3 of them.

iron horse may have had my favorite audio as it blasted devil went down to georgia throughout the ride.

and then there's monstars of rock... only 4 words can effectively sum up this lovely attraction: worst dark ride ever. the story it attempted to explain was that of a monster comprised rock band gearing up for a show followed by the show itself. not a terrible concept, in my opinion. pretty much every other aspect, however, was horrible. all the characters were 2d and almost nothing moved. it was just bad

Great to hear you enjoyed the coasters, sorry to hear how bad the Mosters of Rock ride is. Now I want to ride it. I have to see just how bad the worst dark ride ever is. Sounds like the perfect ride for some kind of a Mystery Science Theater 300 recording.

No problem!

when i was there it was pretty crowded. about a 45 minute wait for time machine or roundabout. but it was a saturday, the 4th, and there was a deal to get up to 4 tickets for a total of $17.76. a deal like that obviously enticed people.

oh, one thing i forgot about: their nightly show is incredible! that whole lake goes up in flame in rythm to some of the greatest rock songs ever!

overall, id definitely suggest a visit. if for nothing else than to help the park survive

sounds good. I've seen the old show on youtube and it was top-notch. From what you've said this new park management is keeping the high quality management.

Hey, how was the girls there. Do they still have those super 60's high skirts. I'm no player, but I got to meet a couple of them after the park was closing. They were sweet and nice. Do you still see any of them doing the guest character photo around the park?
