My closest park is Wild Adventures in Valdosta, GA (I live in the Jacksonville, FL area), but I consider Busch Gardens Tampa (3.5 hours away) and SeaWorld Orlando (2.5 hours away) to be my "home parks" as they're the ones I go to most often.

X-Coaster at Magic Springs made me super uncomfortable. Also I would agree with tilt coasters, I've yet to ride one but they look very nerve wracking.

Orlando is really the perfect FL theme park location but they're about maxed out at this point. Tampa could be a decent spot. But I think a great spot would be Lake City area. Right off I-10 and I-75, which would be "on the way" for most travelers going towards Orlando. It would be close enough...

They also lack anything here in Florida, a state I know both companies always wanted to get into.

Steel Vengeance is my immediate answer mainly because the queue line is right there under/by it

Pretty solid, and nerdy (which I appreciate), flow chart. I'd agree with most of it I believe. I'm unsure on the train conversion ones as I haven't had that experience yet. If it's a stand-up to floorless conversion I would probably consider it a new cred since I'm guessing the experience is...

POST JUNE TRIP UPDATED LIST... 1. STEEL VENGEANCE- Not like I'm adding new info here but the amount of airtime is ridiculous and is my favorite thing about it. 2. IRON GWAZI- This thing hauls but is noticeably shorter than SteVe and that's the main thing holding it back. 3. ARIEFORCE ONE-...

I rode Zambezi on the 22nd and didn't have the same experience as the last few posts. This was my first ever visit to WoF and I thought it was pretty good. I have it 2nd in the park behind Mamba. It was aggressive, which I tend to like in a coaster provided it isn't old and rough. I didn't...

Ah ok cool. Thanks for the info though. Hopefully this is a good sign that it'll be open by the time I am there.

Have they announced the general public opening inside the park yet? I don't see any announcement on their Twitter page yet. I'll be there in less than 2 weeks, coming from Florida, and it will likely be my #200 if open.

Wouldn't there need to be trims somewhere though for block zones? Or do LSMs also act as block zones as well?

1. Montu- My favorite invert overall, just edging out Banshee 2. Mako- My favorite hyper overall 3. SheiKra- My favorite dive overall, although they're all kind of bunched together in my rankings 4. Kumba- Surprisingly still really good, has actually moved up my ranking the last few years 5...
