David, for some reason, you think u r the expert on these things don't you? The Dark Knight, though much less popular in 2009 than 2008, still drew in crowds of various people even ones over 11. majority of the people that go on it try to escape the heat or in the case of FF the freezing night temperatures.

I thought BB was opened at the right time in May.

In early development, it was said to have opened towards the end of April.

TR was a dead zone in the end and there was no change in that in sight. DK will always draw people in as anything to do with Batman/Joker seems timeless and again I just wish the preshow was not the same for the next 5 years.

^Unless there is a 3rd Batman movie coming, expect it to stay.

After seeing the Dinosaur pre-show at DAK for the 50th plus time, you just start to have fun with it. Not much else you can do.

Nolan is actually taking on the reboot of Superman as well.......he has stated his brother is currently working on a script for the final installment of the Batman movies and the all surviving people from the first 2 movies would be back for the third.

It sucks that Heath Ledger won't be in it though. He was amazing as the Joker.

Wait, be there, or ride it? I'll be there, but won't ride as I stated above. Or wait until the 5 year-olds curfews and go on at 9:00+

No one cares that you won't be riding it. You don't have to keep repeating that you won't go on it. :roll:

Will check out Dipper most certainly as this one holds more meaning to me than another ride I have yet to check out (Spacely's Sprocket Rockets).
