It's funny you should say that because I like the Batman the Ride train without the caps much better than the one with them.

Oh and I ate Poutine
Left the park around 5pm to drive to a Fairfield an hour from Syracuse and ate at Ponderosa for Dinner Oh and La Ronde has many infrastructure problems including Lack of No-Smoking Enforcement and Lack of Food/Drink stands. Guess Shapiro's plans got Budget cut at La Ronde? Also Flash Pass entrances are very tough to find there. Also this is probably the only Six Flags park to have a gravel parking lot.
Wisconsin State Fair 397- The Riptide (Degeller Rides) 398- Puppy Love (Doug Hayworth)
Went on August 4, 2013
Tomorrow, Carowind's with the 400th!
You didn't do the coaster at Spin City?
I did 2 of the 3 coasters at Spin City (The other was a Dragon Wagon I couldn't ride). It is "Spin City" but I called it Wisconsin State Fair since that is the fair.

Rode All 3 Coasters (Jungle Twist, Puppy Express, Comet 2)
Jungle Twist was from Showtime Rides (Already Rode it as #320) Puppy Express was from Prime Pacific (#475) Comet II was from Wade Shows (#475)
I'm confused if Puppy Love was Puppy Express with a Different name from last year. FParker said Puppy Love was Doug Hayworth last year; but the Employees all said Prime Pacific for Puppy Express. Maybe you can help solve this mystery.

Sorry for being Offensively late but laptop issues
Anyway, I went to Alabama Splash Adventures on October 25th for the Rip Roaring Rampage Returns event and have a few comments:
I rode Rampage (#492) and Centi-Speed (#493). I rode Centispeed 2x and Rampage 26x Including 16 Times Nonstop Marathon. It wasn't the record there, but definitely Top 5. Other Fun Facts:
- Free Soda in 2015 - They considered RMC to retrack it but it fell out. They went with a Company in Mexico - Dan's favorite song is Cotton Eye Joe - Pat Koch wants a Scrambler (She loves how kids love riding it) - Centispeed came from Gillian's Fun Land in New Jersey. It still has the Wacky Worm name on the station. - Pat also didn't ride Rampage as far as I saw - They were giving away Dippin Dot Tube things (I had Mint Chocolate Chip) - They spent $1 Million dollars refurbishing Rampage - All the Seatbelts on Rampage are Different Lengths - They were supposed to only go until 10pm but because I wanted to ride it 26x (Pure speculation) they extended it to 10:16pm - The Waterpark still has alot of internal problems regarding water pipes - Rampage has a new logo with a Rhino. I prefer the original logo. - They were only running the red train and I didn't see the Blue train anywhere - Still offering Pepsi Products - He wants to hold another event in the Spring - The turning point before the ride goes under the supports of the U-Turn is the slowest part of the ride - There is roughly 13 moments of airtime on Rampage (Varies depending on Seat) - I Got to ride it with Dan Koch in his Purple Suit Glory for my 9th Ride - Rampage finishes stronger than it starts. It has a drop I like to call "The Raven Drop" that turns it from Legend to Raven - Pat Koch recently went to Machu Picchu, Peru - The ride has at least 5 moments of "Hairtime" - Also got to ride it with Dan Koch's Daughter
If you want to know what I look like, above the post "The party kept rollin' as each train of satisfied riders flew into the station!" is me in my white shirt with Dan the Man Koch
I rode Rampage, Now I can die happy. And if anyone cares, Alabama was my 26TH STATE I've ridden a coaster in.

Added 4 more parks and 2 new states to both of my counts:
June 19 Elitch Gardens - Sidewinder (508) MY FIRST ARROW SHUTTLE LOOP!!!! - Half Pipe (509) - Boomerang (510) - Mind Eraser (511) - Blazin Buckaroo (512) Justin Tip: Elitch has this (weird) retentive attitude how they won't give you any cups of free water. I can't stress this enough to bring a water bottle. Also ride Mind Eraser first as that line was the longest and slowest.
Justin Tip: The park will allow people over 54" to ride Blazin alone, But only if they have a kid. I'm not kidding that's exactly what happened to me. The guide says nothing about people over 42" but I wasn't able to ride until I explained things to a security guard (2nd time I've had to, Other was for Taxi Jam at Kings Dominion, Another Miler coaster) and was able to ride by myself.
Heritage Square - Miner Mike (516) - Python Pit (517)
June 20 Lagoon - Jet Star 2 (Rode with a Male Employee in Whizzer like Trains)(518) - The Bat (519) - Bombora (520) - Puff The Little Fire Dragon (521) - Wild Kingdom Train (Got a Tiger to roar at me by waving, Guess he reads this Forum?) - Wild Mouse (522) - Spider (And the Fly) (523) - Colossus The Fire Dragon (524) - Wicked (525) - Sky Ride - Air Race - Terrorride (Prefer it to Dracula personally) - Dracula's Castle - Rollercoaster (Kinda bopped a girl in the face while riding it)(526) - Carousel Justin Tips: For anyone going to Lagoon, They have a really weird No-single rider policy on many of their coasters (and individual rows) and only 1 has a single rider line (Wicked, Cannibal might as well but IDK).
Justin Tip: Lagoon only has about 5 bathrooms in their entire park and none near the entrance.
Flew from O'Hare to Dulles on Frontier, Am Using Budget Rental cars, and went to Adventure Park USA Wildcat (526) Sea Serpent (527)
Ate at Golden Corral for Lunch and am staying at Springhill Suites Hagerstown... For Tonight.
Friday, July 24th Went to Knoebel's and Hersheypark
Knoebel's Flying Turns (528) Black Diamond (529) Similar to Blazing Fury at Dollywood Kozmo's Kurves (530) IMPULSE WAS CLOSED
Hersheypark Fahrenheit (531) Laff Trakk (532) Not as themed as the Dark Knight Coaster Skyrush (533) OUCH Stayed at A Residence Inn in Henderton
Saturday, July 25 Baja Amusements Wacky Worm (534)
Jolly Roger Amusement Park (Greatest Hits of this Trip) Sea Serpent (535) Similar to Adventure Park's Wacky Worm (536) LAME Avalanche (537) Similar to Adventure Park's
Jolly Roger at the Pier Looping Star (538) Ouch!
Trimper's Rides Spinning Coaster (539) Ouch Tidal Wave (540) Ouch Wacky Worm (541) One of the Better WW's
Coming Up: Magic Springs & Crystal Falls (August 7) Wisconsin State Fair (August 9) Six Flags St. Louis (September 6)
Rode the Following: Arkansas Twister (#543) Diamond Mine Run (#544) Antique Cars (Don't Remember the name) Big Bad John (#545) X Coaster (#546) Plummet Summit Gauntlet (#547)
Very Meh. Picture Michigan's Adventures without Shivering Timbers. An OKish waterpark from what I saw but nothing in the park really stands out. X Coaster was OK but forgettable. Gauntlet is an "Improvement" over a regular SLC but not much, and the park makes Dollywood feel like it's on flat terrain by comparison. Also WEAK souvenir selection (Not one magnet with Magic Springs on it).
