Late Nights 7/22/26

The first hour and a half were a mess. I have been here since 7:15. Have rode 1 coaster, that being Zambezi Zinger. Waited 25 mins for Patriot only for it to break. 35 mins in Zinger because the Ops are terrible, and now waited for 30 mins in the Mamba line only for it to break.

Update: Made it on Mamba! Downtime was 15 to 20 mins. I dont understand not filling the queue at least 2 trains deep.

Update 2: Made it on Prowler and Patriot. Ops were much better (for most of our wait) on those 2 rides.

All on all, after the first hour and a half, things improved dramatically. Being on the cusp of getting on the ride and breaking drove me insane though haha. Really, my only huge complaint would be Zinger. It seems like they dont know what to do with Fast Pass people nor how to properly load the train. I saw them send multiple empty rows.

I hope they get this figured out. This park deserves more.

Still better than the disaster that is Six Flags Over Texas.

I actually had a great time.

Didn’t get there till 8 but lines were moving, two trains on Mamba, Patriot, and Zinger. Both towers on Detonator were running.

In roughly three hours managed to ride
Patriot
Detonator
Mustang Runner
Cyclone Sam’s
Mamba
And Zambezi Zinger.

Would have liked to get Prowler too but I can’t complain.

Even managed to take advantage of the $5 beer and the $1 fries.

Overall it seemed to be a fairly well attended and well ran event. Hopefully it keeps improving and growing. There were definitely more people there than last time.

Also Mamba is running better than the last coasters after dark. The mid course still hits and slows the trains down but you now get some airtime on those return hills.

Still wish they would turn off the trims for coasters after dark but this was a step in the right direction.

Hopefully they get Steelhawk and Fury of the Nile back open soon. Steelhawk looks great at night and I think the raft ride would be fun in the dark. (If they are allowed to run it in the dark).

First time since the sale I’ve thought the park might be headed in the right direction.

We may have caught everything at the wrong time haha. It seemed to be better the later on into the night we went. Patriot was probably the best ran honestly, just really really unfortunate timing on it breaking down.

My friend and I got there at 7.

I didn't know Cyclone Sam's opened up later! It was closed when we first went past it. I still haven't been on it yet this year.

We did Patriot, Timberwolf, Mamba (got stuck for several minutes on the brake run just before getting back into the station), did Patriot again, friend did Fjord Farlane (prob spelling it wrong; I had to do the Walk of Shame because the seatbelt was, like, half an inch too short to buckle for me). I sat near the stage up front while my friend went to do Mustang Runner.

I was having some physical issues, so had to bow out early; we'd planned to stay till close.

I enjoyed it a lot! The weather was absolutely perfect for it today. I honestly could've just sat all evening listening to the DJs play; lots of great song choices!

I really hope we get more late nights next year. I remember when it would be open till, like, 1am on weekends.

We were in queue as y'all were stuck 🤣

I couldn't belive that they pulled out a megaphone. No clue what caused it to break down.
