Green Lantern Coaster

[alex_1]

Sorry djrappa you're right... my apologies bladex. But yeah El Locos are meant to slow down. If they didn't, the G forces on the outwards turns and tight inversions would be too extreme. I honestly found GL quite thrilling in its own way. While Supermans thrill comes from airtime and high speed, Green Lantern is filled with "OMFG moments" and has some strong lateral G's.

This is a comment I always take issue with!! Unless you are a park employee or ride contractor/manufacturer EVERYONE is general public. Self proclaimed enthusiast or not, you're still general public. Simple, if you use the main gate when entering a park you are GP. It is well known there are staff and insiders on parkz but they also post here as personal opinion so even then they are really GP here. I just hate it when people talk 'above' other people.

This made me LOL .... i have a feeling there will be another poll soon!

[bladex]

btw why do they have the loose items boxes if your not allowed to use them? b4 i got on the ride they gave me a strip down (well asked if i had anything in pockets etc)

Essentially for just glasses and things which are essential in the queue.

Essentially for just glasses and things which are essential in the queue.

They wouldn't let us take hats into the queue. Considering how unprotected the queue line is from the sun I thought it was a bit rough.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Hats with a rigid brim won't fit into those boxes. They are (as stated) for essential items like glasses etc. There's so many of them because naturally - there's so many trains potentially running on the tracks. I will say though that our VIP gold passes were allowed on last time round - because we needed to show them to the attendants to be let into the queue. The current early entry process ONLY allows gold holders into the park that early, so essentially if you're in the park, you're allowed in - and therefore - they wouldn't allow us to take our passes into the queue.

[bladex]

they wouldn't let me take my sunnies in

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

lol. just tell them they're prescription, and you can't see without them!

[bladex]

lol. just tell them they're prescription, and you can't see without them!

they are and i couldn't! so whats the point of them boxes? Edited March 13, 2012 by bladex

[Park Addict 93]

Did you tell them they were prescription? All prescription glasses are allowed but sunnies are not generally.

[bladex]

no but i will next time. it wont work on superman though they make you rent a damn locker

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Just thought it worth a mention - last weekend, the 'geek' show on Nova 106.9 did a spot in Movie world. The major part of the video they did was an on-ride of Green Lantern. The video is now up on the nova website.

Finally got on this ride on Saturday and after multiple rides I can say that while I see no difference between the front and back rows, that there is a definite difference between the left and right sides with the right hand seat being the most comfortable and less jerking as you are on the outside of most corners giving you the larger arc around.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

^^^ Agreed. I took some family on it on saturday. I've taken to referring to the edge seats as the 'right side' and the 'suicide' (un-original, but it fits)

[rappa]

No difference in the back? I found the back to be less than half the ride experience you got in the front.

[xRazzBerryx]

Yeah. I thought the front was a LOT better than the back.

[alex_1]

The front is the best IMO for the view on the drop. I hate that my resistance for coasters is for some reason getting lower, not sure if I was just having a bad day but I was feeling really dizzy on the first drop on every ride, never happened before. I was also blacking out like crazy on Superman, though Ive come to accept that as part of the ride lol. The right side on green lantern sure is terrifying on the outwards turn. I felt myself deathgrip the restraint at that point.

Has anyone else noticed that the audio has been playing up a lot lately. I went over the weekend and around some of the drops and inversions and some of the corners the audio was dropping out and going all crackly like an old radio. It happened on all three of my rides through the day so I doubt it would've just been the car i was in.

[westical]

Went on this today for the first time after two previous failed attempts. The music wasn't working on any of the cars.

[alex_1]

I havent had any audio on any of my 4 rides.

[joz]

I've had audio on all 4 of my rides, must be lucky

[Brad2912]

I'm up to 4 rides...never heard any audio Starting to think its a myth not unlike the Bermuda Triangle replacement

[casey96]

I have personally been on this ride many many times and never not had audio. Either i'm really lucky" or you're really unlucky.

[cadboy]

Well I have had audio plenty of times not 100% of times but better than 50%.

[pin142]

I too have had audio so the working audio being a myth is busted. It seems to be a lucky dip. When I was there last on the last ride I noticed the car in-front had the audio set to the off position whilst mine had audio.
