  1. What if they spruced up the current front entrance structure, with the International Restaurant still in place?
  2. I would love to hear songs from the early seventies in Coney Mall. Would be nice to hear Without You by Harry Nilsson over the speakers.
  3. Oktoberfest renovation with polka covers of oldies songs?
  4. There was an accident on the one at Kings Dominion which resulted in one rider being sent to the hospital for a concussion and other injuries. I originally posted the article, but deleted it due to the sensitive nature.
  5. Thunder Road had major structural problems due to the wood structure being unprotected and untreated for years.
  6. It's my pleasure. I didn't help make the playlist, but I was able to find a few of the songs. My Aunt and I were sitting along the fountains one day and she recognized the theme to The Big Country. A majority of the songs can be found on the City of Prauge Orchestra's album '100 Greatest Film Themes.'
  7. Yes, they have new tracks this year. These are all I could identify: - Theme from "Born on the Fourth of July" by John Williams - Medley from "The Cowboys" by John Williams - Theme to "Exodus" by Ernest Gold performed by City of Prauge Orchestra - Theme to "The Big Country" by Jerome Moross performed by City of Prauge Orchestra - Love theme from "The Godfather" (Speak Softly Love) by Nino Rota performed by City of Prauge Orchestra - March from "The Dam Busters" by Eric Coates and Leighton Lucas performed by City of Prauge Orchestra - "Bicycle Chase & End Credits" from ET: The Extra Terrestrial by John Williams performed by City of Prauge Orchestra - Suite from "The High and The Mighty" by Dimitri Tiomkin - Prologue from "Hook" by John Williams - Angry Birds Theme performed by London Philharmonic Orchestra - "Gusty Garden Galaxy" from Super Mario Galaxy performed by London Philharmonic Orchestra - "Harry's Wonderous World" from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by John Williams - The Harry Lime Theme from "The Third Man" by Anton Karas performed by City of Prauge Orchestra - Tara's Theme from "Gone With the Wind" by Max Steiner performed by City of Prauge Orchestra - Theme from "The Natural" by Randy Newman performed by City of Prauge Orchestra - Overture from "Citizen Kane" ( The Inquirer) by Bernard Herrmann - "Born on the Fourth of July" from Born on the Fourth of July by John Williams Edit- More Songs Found
  8. What if Fred Grubb was here because Rocky Mountain Construction has been traditionally retracking The Racer? Either way, it wouldn't make much sense to close the ride shortly after it got a good amount of retracking. Still hoping for a Ghostrider style treatment if any changes are being made to the ride.
  9. Kings Dominion Rebel Yell retracking in 2016/2017.
  10. I sure hope it's not an RMC conversion. That ride still gets good ridership. Would love to see a GCI retrack of it though, maybe reprofiling by Martin and Vleminckx and some Millennium Flyer trains like Wildcat at Lake Compounce or Ghostrider at Knotts. The ACE Landmark plaque is back outside the entrance to the ride, so hopefully it's not the end.
  11. It would make a great transmission tower, of course the radiation would be dangerous.
  12. I've always wondered what that thing was. Been there since 1972.
  13. I think Kings Dominion's Eiffel Tower uses the multi colored LED panels like on ours, but will sometimes use the floodlights on the cupola and under the 265' platform. They might not want to use that lighting because of The Greatest Showman fireworks display, may be too bright. I heard from one of the people on the platform that the antenna at the top was knocked off by a small plane in the early 90's.
  14. I've always admired the floodlighting myself. The uplighting around the base of the Tower was removed last season to accommodate the Christmas tree lights, but they remain on the top cupola.
  15. Mystic Timbers, but not cropped in well.
  16. Marking near Racer footing. I mean, it's only one.
  17. Question is, would B&M be crazy enough to do a vertical drop on a hyper/giga model? We know that the park probably won't work with Intamin if we got a giga.
  18. I was just thinking about that. What if we had a Giga coaster that dropped like Steel Vengeance?
  19. I'm not a huge fan of the name of the new park. I suggested on social media that it should have been named "Bicentennial Commons at LeSourdsville Lake" as a nod to the history of the property. But definitely a great article. Good to know they're doing something with the land.
  20. Gravity Group woodie? They already have Steel Vengeance so Rocky Mountain Construction is out of the question, and GCI coasters are typically smaller.
  21. Cool to see the Carousel in that clip. Looks almost exactly like we see it today.
