IllumiNights 2012

Where are those trains at?

In order:

Kingda Ka @ Six Flags Great Adventure
Ninja @ Six Flags Magic Mountain
Demon @ Six Flags Great America
Mind Bender @ Six Flags over Georgia
Mind Bender again
El Toro @ Six Flags Great Adventure

Seriously if you think Scott and Larry are bad, you have not witnessed Shapiro. That dude was a true, blue nightmare.

EDIT: We New Jersey enthusiasts got to calling El Toro, "Shapiro's Fantasy Coaster" because of how comical the train looked. El Toro was actually one of only like 3 good things Shapiro did in his time as CEO, too.

I'm a big fan of Illuminights. It kept us coming back week after week in 2010, less frequently in 2011. I didn't care for the chair stacking or the performance in Italy in 2011. I really liked the parade, eventhough it really interfered with traffic flow. This year, the girls in Italy are outstanding, the juggler in France is very good, but Wunderbarn is so forced it makes it hard to watch. I feel uncomfortable for the performers. The Legend of Killarney needs a makeover. Illuminights is great addition that fills the nighttime void. The park is definetly busier because of it.

Bring back the Cuckoo Clock!!!!

ust wanted to give my 2012 opinion...

Wunderbarn:
I didn't really dig Wunderbarn, a little campy for me, but my wife and kids loved it. I talked with the lead from Wunderbarn from last year, he is starting a pirate ship show out at the beach, so I know he won't be back.

Giardino Magico:
I didn't see any previous years, but I really was impressed with the 2 young ladies from last year. Beauty, grace, strength and just a touch of "yeah, I got this".

Voila!:
Didn't see the show

Legend of Killarney:
It was cute, but the fairy was a little underdone in terms of puppeteering. The leprechaun was funny, had some good one liners.
