Not really, It brought tons of money to the parks, and the theming was really bad, so this was their chance to make it better. Bizzaro and sfne came out great imo

I really don’t think it deserves to be a loser… the ride with the special effects is REALLY cool. You guys should ride it before you judge it – I bet you’ll like it.

How would this post not be biased? If we wrote about something else, someone would come and complain about that too. There is no such thing as a perfect opinion. There will always be critics.

I don’t agree at all the SFNE’s Bizarro. Gadvs Bizarro, yes sucks. All your facts were based off GAdvs except for the blaring audio at SFNE. None of the effects work at GADv because it was a last minute decision to transform Medusa, not S:RoS. How are they failures if they succeeded in bringing a ton of people to the park. All the effects worked at SFNE all year.

“It almost seems these millions were wasted for nothing.”

Thats a lie. A bunch of people came to both parks, it was a great turnout and it brought more money into the park. Lines for both were full all year. GADv succeeded in making Medusa popular again. Previously it opened at 12:00 and closed early. No one ever rode it. Now it is popular again. SFNE’s lines were long all day but due to a great crew the line went by lightening fast.

“People have said the effects don’t really do that much, and if anything, make the rides worse.”

Nothing can make a ride worse unless something is done to the track. The effects enhance SFNE’s but no GADv’s. GADv and SFNE have the similar audio that tells a story but they are completely different. One line changes it. “We’ve gotta find that reporter” is not said on GADv, therefore you’re just going through random stuff. At SFNE your getting Lois Lane and Bizarro is trying to kill you.

In my opinion both Bizarro’s should not be on this list and I feel it is very biased. No offense, but no wonder no one comes to this site.

From what I heard they have or are getting ready to pay off the vendors.

They failed almost as hard as HRP did! If it weren’t for figuring out that people will come in for dirt cheap prices, the new management would have already given up. Even now, they’ve missed payments and have no obvious strategy to make the park profitable.
