This park would make for a perfect candindate for the Big Dipper. With all joking aside I doubt what they got from the pickers would even help them come close to being able to re-open the park.
I am not liking that figure 8 element it looks pretty ugle and would have been better if they kept it on the ground and made it a little larger. Other than that I think this ride looks great!
Winterfest was the park all deck out in lights, you could ice skate, shop in the stores, and watch some shows they had. From my 2005 experince it wasn't very fun. After soaking you $15 I think to get in you had to pay to ice skate the best attratction they had IMO.
Ouch, very bad news and the ecomony is recovering? I wish the weatlthy in this country woudl quit lining there own pockets and start helping others out. It seems to me in all this it the middle working class suffering the most.
I would really love to see them redo Son of Beast. Steep drop and reprofile the entire ride and maybe even add to the layout with some quick turns near the end. I am dreaming in a winter wonderland though.
