What, no ride reports!
It's 8:30 AM and you mean there no reports about MF. What gives??????? I thought Jeff would at least clue us in.

I thought that today was the first day that anybody (except for employees maybe) would be able to ride it.

MF Count:
Yesterday was some company's private party there. I drove out there along the permieter road to see MF in action. The blue and red trains were running with the yellow still on the transfer track with water filled dummies in it (why???)
While I won't actually ride it until may 15th, I will say that the blue track with dull silver supports is much more attractive in person than any pictures and so is the loading/unloading stations. One interesting deviation from the artist's rendering is that the tunnels are not entirely covered with rock. From the perimeter road you could see that it looked like only the part of the tunnels nearest the FT is covered. There also appears to be no FX in them.
It was so funny to see people take that first drop. Of the four trains I saw, every person who had their hands up as the train crested the hill dropped them to hold on once it got going :) Also, you can expect the sensation on the hills to/from the island to be similar to the slight pause you experience on the magnum's second hill. This is slightly disappointing. It seems the only real air time will be on the single bunny hop :(

I noticed the same thing I thought someone would give a report. I know it does not help much but here is my report for SFO. #1: Villian (fast smooth and lots of airtime) #2 Superman (that spiral is awesome) #3 batman

Cilegna, refer back to the message about rocks on the tunnels. Everyone already knows where the rocks are. We have already discussed that. Thanks anyway.

Just back from the Point where we spent most of the day. Didn't ride MF because I don't have that much patience! It was only running 2 trains. A one point, the line extended to near the new Candy Factory. The sign at the queue: approx 4 hour wait. Not sure if it was really that long, though I did overhear someone say it took them 2 hrs, 45 min. I've never seen that many people in line.
Overall, fairly crowded day - busier than I expected. Talked to a friend who is a FT employee. She said it was worse yesterday.

The lines were that bad. They had Raptor up and running before the gates opened. Silver Tags with big hopefull smiles were literally standing in front of the hoards headed for MF actually trying to get folks to stop and ride it. The traffic on the other rides was rather light.

Went on MF today. Got in line at approx. 10:45 and got on the ride........3 hours 15 minutes later. SPEED!!!!!!!! That's the only word i can use to describe it. The rushing wind is enuff to totally take your breath away.
Badcrib: I was getting off the ride about then!
But it would have been worth the wait!
