I disagree. I think onride audio is a massive gimmick and it takes a ton away from the ride experience. I ride a ride to have fun, not to listen to crappy music through crappy speakers. It kind of ruined the lift hill of X2 for me (then the ride started and you couldn't even hear the music anymore).
The ride itself looks wonderful, of course. The theme is still completely ridiculous and I will never understand what motivated them to theme a wooden coaster to Terminator. It's worse than painting Mr. Freeze bright red.
Probably going to get to ride this this fall. Woo!

PS. Jason, when, pray tell, does Christian Bale NOT overact?

I think that you're on to something there.  He did knock American Psycho out of the park though.

^ Hmmm... Aren't Phycho's just real life overactors?  Taylor made for him.

FWIW- I think his "style" is perfect for the Batman Series.

Well, made it to Valencia late last night after a few setbacks coming in from Vegas. We decided to "take it easy" today, and head to SFMM tomorrow. Can't wait, because I need a good release of adrenaline!

Be sure to let us know how the ride turned out! It looks great and so far the reviews have came back positive.

k must apologize about my lack of pics/updages. We did hit SFMM last Wed, and started on our way back to KS on Thurs. I was involved in a single vehicle accident just north of Congress AZ that has left basically paralized from the waste down.

I will get these uploaded to my PS acct as soon as I am able to.

Oh, wow, I think that qualifies as a valid excuse. Are you going to be okay?
Please don't worry about this. Take time for yourself.

That's pretty awful news.  :(

Is it permanent?

Please let us know how your doing when you can and know that we're all thinking of you.

I hope no one considers this in poor taste, but I've always thought that if there was a possible upside to this kind of accident it would be that you now have a fast-pass to the front of any coaster you want to ride. :)  Of course that is very little solace...
