I'm inclined to agree with this. However, this virus has put a halt to many aspects of the manufacturing industry. I'd honestly believe anything at this point.

My guess is that the management doesn't want the public to dwell on the decommissioning of one of the park's most cherished roller coasters. Son of Beast was a massive PR disaster that couldn't have had any worse press than it did. Removal of such a notorious structure was hardly a blight on the park's image. Demolishing Vortex, however, is likely something executives dreaded having to do. My assumption is that they want us to look forward and remember the good times we had, rather than us remembering our favorite Arrow being reduced to a pile of steel.

God, I hope not. FoF is the ride that broke my fear of inversions. (My Grandma lied to me.)

I think perhaps the key to bringing back Phantom Theater would be to break the formula of using the same building. Surely a dark ride would be possible somewhere around The Bat and Banshee. Perhaps the old SoB station could be integrated in some way, no?

Anybody know if there's a rip of the music in the ad and Coastermania VHS? I've been looking for a clean version of it for years now.

I imagine throughput would have been miserable compared to all of the other coasters.

Only the ones made by the National Park Service.

I'd delve into a sweltering pit of coughing imbeciles as long as I could get a front seat on The Beast.

Given how catastrophic the loss of sales this year has been so far, I'd be doubtful that we'll see a new coaster of great size for another five years or so. That being said, I would be very happy if CF took the next couple of years to restore some of their aging rides. Diamondback drastically needs a new paint job.

Given the current social climate, I don't see it being nearly as dark or frightening as it was when it was in the 90s. I feel like parents would complain.

Shaggy, you are a gem.

God bless CoasterBob.

I haven't cable, friend.

That building probably has the most history out of all the structures in the park. It'd be perfect for that sort of Youtube channel.

What's a Vortex?

I know what a Chevette is. It's just a perplexing model to associate with The Beast.

Out of all of the cars GM made during late 70s, a Chevette?

And The Vortex never sank into the swamp.

I can assure you that it's very safe. I'd argue it's much safer than anything with lap bars.

I sincerely doubt the statistics coming out of China. This is the same government that did everything it could to shut down doctors trying to warn everyone. For that matter, I can't really trust any statistics out right now. I was quarantined for the past two weeks because I had all the symptoms and I never had a test.

The old queue for Flight Commander. It sat abandoned in the park for a very long time up until it was leveled for the new antique cars.

The mention of Roll-O-Planes got me thinking. It'd be pretty sweet if we got a large version of the same thing one day. (I know we already did.) But the attributes of the design still have potential for a modern flat.

Believe it or not, I find WindSeeker to be significantly more terrifying to me than Drop Tower. The worst thing about DT for me was my ears popping the one time I rode it. WindSeeker looked like it would be relaxing, but the way those seats are engineered are anything but. They perfected the sensation of absolute insecurity with those restraints.

It would clearly be exclusive to Gold Pass holders.
