I for one am not a fan of the wait time sign for one reason: Why in the world is there now word that says minutes?

 

[Brian G.]

I think I've narrowed down the rough trains. 2 and 5, stay clear of those.

 

[Tbad556]

I've been on the ride 4 times now and have never seen any train numbers. Where are they located at?

On the back of each car.

 

[The_Bled]

I Believe they're on the lower half of the seats. Like on the supports for them as well.

I went on this today. Just awesome. The ride is amazing. The x-coaster cars are wonderful and having free movement makes the ride a lot better. I was able to move around a lot unlike Hulk (which was extremely rough today). The first time I went on (9:00 wait time 7) minutes I picked ZZ Top and the second time (immediately after first ride wait time 15) I picked No Doubt. I would have to say that ZZ Top was much better. But all and all the song doesn't add much except in a few places. The first time we waited for front row and the lift was something that you need to experience for yourself. The non-inverted loop is another nice feature. The part back by the Mummy is a lot of fun. The fly-by of the queue is cool but the citywalk part of the ride is timid. Do not go on this ride thinking it is going to be thrilling. This is a fun ride but not a screamer.
Overall:
Pros
Lift is awesome
Really fun spots
music (doesn't add much but it the ride would seem lacking without it)
non-inverted loop
Cons:
Line is borrrrrrrrrrrrrrring
song ends abruptly
some slow spots
Notes: If you want to ride this get there before the park opens. By 9:30 the line was 60 minutes. Employees were telling guest that the rest of the park was open and that there was more then Rockit'. Just a great ride.

Other than Rockit' the parks were empty. There were parts where we were standing alone in areas. Even Spider-Man was a walk on. If you can get out to Universal now there will be no lines.

Yeah, a Hulk walk on shocked me as well. The attendance shouldn't pick up until about late February or Early March. Mardi Gras season. :happy:

 

[Tbad556]

Don't forget Christmas/ New Year's time. Waits are hellish then too.

 

[Brian G.]

Mardi Gras season.

Great.

 

[The_Bled]

Great.

Any explanation for the great? :look:

Random question, but I still (STILL!!!) haven't been on either Manta or the RRR and was wondering which you guys think I should make a trip to first Seaworld or USF? I still can't believe I haven't been on either, my most recent trip to Seaworld was for a school field trip in which we needed to classify 100 animals (got to go on Wildartic because we "needed" to go on it to get to the animals) and I went to USF during HHN when RRR wasn't open.

 

[tiredoldspook]

Manta is awesome Best theme layout I have seen on a flying coaster and so smooth. HRRR is a fun coaster but don't wait more then 20 minutes. CHristmas Season is HELL,,,DO NOT go to the parks from mid -dec till January 3rd.

I love Manta -- best coaster in Orlando, in my humble opinion. And the aquarium queue is absolutely beautiful.

Rockit........ I dunno, I just don't dig it. The last time I rode was a little better, but still not nearly so much as Manta. In my opinion, if you're hitting one park or the other based on the new '09 coasters -- then go for Manta/Sea World.

 

[snoman]

Agreed, Manta is by far a better ride and much more enjoyable experience. If I was picking one Manta would for sure get my vote. Also, if you're coming over the holidays Sea World is much more bearable than Universal.

I'm not a fan of Mardi Gras. Specifically, the crowds.

You mean you don't like drunk sorority girls punching you in the face over 10 cent beads?
