well they still do. i was not impressed at all and noticed little improvement with the employees since the last time i visited the park last year around this time. i had a great time but the employees were just plain terrible.

first up, SRoS. a great, great ride. i love that third hill especially in the front. not as bad as i remembered it to be... it felt like it was running faster than last time too. this was the only ride that had halfway motivated employees who were really trying not to stack trains. they didnt seem very happy but they were doing their job atleast. very little wait

batwing was closed (huge disappointment) so we went to jokers jinx next. 10 minute wait and a fun ride. the employees were pretty bad on this one creating major stacking every single time (and by major i mean a wait of more than a minute on the brakes which is unacceptable).

we caught the batman show next. kind of corny but fun.

next was two face. i actually would not have minded getting stuck on this ride... the restraints are comfortable except for that smell. best part of this ride was watch my friend across from me pass out in the cobra roll. she snapped right out of it but she was totally gone through half of it. 10 minute wait

wild one was next. this is just a nice classic woodie with one of my favorite layouts. i can only imagine what this would have been like if SFI didnt mess with it. 15 minute wait

kind of forget what we did after this. lunch maybe? the group of people i was with took over the bumper cars, we rode superman many more times and got some great pictures but the highlight of the day were the employees on roar.

these employees on roar sucked for lack of a better term. every single time they cleared the train only to unlock it and have to clear it again. im not sure why this was happening but it did every single time. when it was finally my turn to ride after a good 20 minute wait (the line was short too), i said something to the ride ops about actually doing their jobs and they got extremely defensive on me. i wasnt trying to be rude, just reminding them what they are being paid for. i think that the reason they unlocked the restraints again was to come around so they could staple me in because thats exactly what they did. would that be considered assault? i was just very very pist. then after the ride, we sat on the brakes for about 5 minutes. not because of a break down but beacause the completely mindless ride ops were still in the process of clearing the train. complete morons. im sorry if people disagree with me but give me a break! and speaking of ride ops, some didnt even do their job. once on superman, the one op didnt even check her entire side of the train. thats not only bad oping but it became a safety issue.

we also hit up the waterpark. kind of crappy but a good place to cool off i guess. i really didnt like that whole renting blue tubes thing. dont people feel taken advantage of because of that? i would have.

overall, i had a blast but it wasnt because of anything SFA did. i wont be going back any time soon unless they get the next strata or something world reknown like that
