  2. This is interesting, especially since they can retrofit this to existing towers.

  4. That's an interesting point, @Shaggy. I go to the cemetery from time to time to drive past my grandparent's/aunts and uncles graves and my high school friend/college roomate (who I rode Vortex with in 1987!) but these people literally mean nothing to my niece or my cousin's children. We will talk about them and they will remember those conversations, but when our generation is gone and they are gone, there will be no connection. My dad is vehemenently against me NOT having a grave stone. He says I need something visible to future generations. I don't think I do. That's why I want my ashes spread in several places---or if I got my ultimate wish, I would be stuffed/mummified and used as theming at The Beast

  5. A wing would look so cool in that space. I wish for a wing over anything.

  9. I liked the original Outer Limits: Flight of Fear logo. Kept in style with the ride (especially if you were around for the build up to it when it opened). Has a lot of a Star Wars look with a bit of creepiness with the coloring and the speed-style letters of Flight of Fear. The video in the building is a nice kind of transition from the hype around then to actually riding the thing, particularly with this being the world's introduction to LIM technology and the kind of things it could mean for coasters (we got the first 100 mph coasters a year later with LSM technology). The 80s and 90s were a great time to be an enthusiast with the leaps in technology that happened. silver2005, a coaster/park history buff.

  13. The script, the name, the colors, it's my favorite no question.

  14. Yep. That definitely looks like the Coney Island and Lake Como Railroad. Interesting tidbit is that "tunnel"/bridge that the train was going through allowed cars to access the parking lot. That tunnel/bridge is still standing to this day at the park.
