What I meant to say was Alpie was a 2 train wait for the front.  Patriot is better.  The back was great.  Fest haus was awesome grub.  Now in line for BBW.  Looks like a long wait.

And Dark Castle was a nice surprise.  2nd best dark ride IMO.

Apollos is also good but below Nitro and Diamondback for me.  This park is really pretty.  We're going to try the front of AC and then haul ass.  The whole park done in 3 hours.  2 days to explore and reride the big stuff.

Griffon may have been 5 min longer.  BBW had the most cheering.  I felt like I could have died, which I like.

Front row on the end of Griffon was spectacular.  Front row on BBW was also the way to go.  The back is nice but it's freakin crazy back there.

It's so sad to see BBW going soon. But I'm glad to hear my favorite coaster is holding strong against a coaster as phenomenal looking as Alpie!

Alpie has some weird pacing.  It's almost like it's pumping forward.  It's not rough at all but it just doesn't feel as fluid as Patriot.  It certainly wins the placement award for inverts.

I love the lift hill design on Alpie.

I've never been on an invert except for Patriot that throws you into the Immelman like it does. That's part of the reason why I love Patriot so much. I need to ride Alpie though. I've rode Montu and that was a great ride now I wanna try Alpie out.

Done with the park.  I'm a fan.  Great theming, spectacular rides and great food.  It needs a good wood IMO.  The walkways are a little narrow.  It got busy today and it took forever to get around.  The front gate system is overly complicated.  Several families we're stupified by the system.

I'll be back and this seems like a good time of year to come.

Glad to hear your enjoying the trip Jason. Your right to, BGW needs a woodie in the park somewhere. A nice GCI terrain or Gravity Group terrain would do wonders. The park looks great though and sounds great from what you've said and it's got me wanting to go out there soon.

I am even more ticked off that I will never get to ride BBW now.  I was hoping that somehow you'd come back and say it was just Ok or even better that it was awful...

I don't understand why the park can't have Vekoma come in and replace the sections of track that need it, and refurbish the trains.
