I don't want to veer too much off topic, but I agree about Iron Reef. To me it was more like the Phantom Menace in terms of anticipation and experience. It was really exciting finally seeing Knott's add a dark ride in that space after all of those years. I was *modestly* hyped to see it after seeing what they did with the log ride and the mine ride. Once it open I wanted to like it, but every ride I've taken on it, I've come to terms with the fact that it just....isn't great. I wasn't expecting one of the coolest rides ever, but even for a modest budget, they could've gotten something WAY better in that space. Again, just like the Phantom Menace, I think a lot of the good reviews that came out when it opened were people like me who WANTED to like it and tried to defend it. But looking past some of the nice sets, there are several flaws with it that don't make it as enjoyable as it could've been.
While it's a real shame Knotts wasted that space on a disappointment, at least Justice League will avenge that. Maybe once Knotts sees what Six Flags can do, maybe that will push them into making a much better dark ride later. I'm thrilled to finally see Six Flags put in not just a dark ride, but a darn good one.
