So far no coasters running, but I have a hunch that the Blue train for Eagle is on the storage track. I can't be 100% sure, but there very well could be the blue train on the track.

Why Blue of the two and Eagle specifically? Just wondering.

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P

Not sure, but it still may be my eyes playing tricks on me.

Just got off the Justice League ride in St Louis. The ride broke down 3 times while we were on it. It was fun while it was working. I hope they work out all the bugs.

The ride would just stop and the projectors would just freeze.

I've had the exact same thing happen to me a few times at Universal. Anytime there's something wrong at some screen, usually the same thing happens at the next ones, just seems to be something with how the rides are built.

Because one person's ride stopped three times? They wouldn't have built more if they didn't think the ride would work. Don't worry.

The few people I talked to in line said it's not uncommon for the ride to be down or not functioning properly. They also close the ride a hour before close which is common practice.

I visited SFStL for their opening weekend and was impressed with the general ride experience. How ever, it did go down quite frequently. The longest it went down was about two hours. The shortest I saw was about 20 minutes. Of course the closing of the queue was not taken as seriously as it should be. The sign stated it would close an hour before the rest of the park, but we found it to be a half hour. The park was a little misleading in their Flash Pass advertisements as it was only available on Platinum and claimed "limited use." That essentially meant once. I know Goliath was like that during it's opening year, but went up to two separate reservations in 2015. Oh well. I don't know how to finish this off as it's turned into more of a rent.

The reliability of the ride was my biggest concern with it coming here, so I hope our park gets it running better. We rode it at SFSTL last summer, and it took us 3 tries over 2 days to finally get on it successfully (we don't usually stay in line after breakdowns unless near the station), and even then my wife and some of our kids got stuck right before the end of the ride, though at least they were back in the station.

It is a very cool ride though and a welcome addition, if it works well.

I honestly think it's something with the programming on the St. Louis version. I was down at Over Texas on 5 different occasions last summer and every time I was there they had no issues and it ran all day.

I'm also still curious to see what the "enhanced" Lex Luthor scene is going to be. I'm thinking it's the hologram scene when 1st entering Lex Corp.

Hologram? I'm so lost. If there was supposed to be a hologram when first entering the show rooms by Daily Planet, it was poorly executed.

I think he's referring to the smoke screen with Lex Luthor when first entering Lex Corp.

When you 1st enter Lex Corp a hologram of Lex appears and he tells you to stop now of face the full force of his lex bots. I'm thining this is the change they are referring too and it will be enhanced somehow. This is the scene immediately before the smoke screen.

Honestly I know nothing about Justice League. All I see is a shooting dark ride. It has a theme that will make it interesting, but I won't be able to understand/follow it all. I'm just focused on hitting targets :D

Exterior theming is coming along nicely. I still think a few details need to be added, but it seems to at least have a base color in place. The park hasn't posted many updates for the interior for quite some time, but I assume they're working on the 4th or 5th room by now.
