I like how they did our SUF. I have been to SFOG this year and it's nothing that spectacular. The big thing that I don't like is that people in line keep on ruining my Supergirl sign. Pick on Lex Luther, or the guy in the cloud instead!!!!!!!!!!

How do you pronouce that? I've always been curious. I like the characters there. At least they create some coversation with friends after waiting for so long in the line. Like how you pronouce the guy's name, or for many guys, I've often heard how hot Super Girl is.

It's pronounced "mixullpick". At least that's how they pronounced it in the old Superman series.

What is getting me really mad, is that the fact that SFGADV is getting the SFOG SUF quene line while were stuck with our garbage version. :lol:

I didn't notice much of a difference between the two queue lines - SFGAdv and SFGAm's. The only thing is that SFGAms starts in the old Shockwave queue house and that SFGAdv's starts in this awesome white dome building type place and then goes out underneath the ride in its footprint with the stupid stand up signs. You guys didn't get ripped off.

HEY! The plywood cutouts are Great!

Really, If we compare SUF's Themeing to Shockwaves theming, we see that we got a pretty good upgrade.

^ I can see the character signs in the background of that picture, so really it isn't that different. I was thinking that it might have been themed like SROS at SFNE. You have first a (air conditioned) building with those character signs and enlarged comics on the wall. After that you go out into a nicely landscaped area out side. It has bushes, trees, flowers, and all different kinds of plants unlike ours with only a couple of tress and shrubs. After that they have a station that looks kind of like our S:UF one.
Anyone else been to SFNE to ride SROS? What did you think of the theming?

Oh yeah...a little comment about the character signs. They're not that stupid, in fact they can be a pretty fun game lol. Me and a friend started a game where you guess the height and weight of each character. Ehh, at least it passes the time ;). Okay, anyway, where were we? Ahh yeah, best and worst looking rides.


I'll say...

Best: Raging Bull - I love the look of the drop, and how the track is twisted through itself. Especially at sunset when you see just the profile of it, looks sweet.
Worst: Probably IMS/Logger's - They're just really faded looking.
