GoodMy Review
I wasn't brave enough to take the plunge down Kingda Ka, but found plenty of thrilling roller coasters (with reasonable wait times, too, since this was late-summer/early fall).
The Superman Ultimate Flight coaster, surprisingly, did successfully mimic the feeling of flying (or, at least, I think it did since I haven't actually flown... yet), and the Nitro and Bizarro coasters were definite highlights too.
As a basketball player (and, ahem, three-point specialist), I have to admit that I found the three-point shootout game, which is styled after the NBA All-Star Weekend format, quite fun, even though my shooting was uncharacteristically off.
Lord knows there are plenty of food options--and some good ones--but the prices, which I suppose are typical of most theme parks, were a little silly, especially for common beverages like bottled water and Gatorade.
All in all we had a great time and will definitely be back.
