Yeah just like they adressed those problems at GL? I went to GL this past season in July at the peak of the season on a friday. Not only were half the food stands and nearly all the game booths by x flight closed but it was even hard to find a bath room that was open.

^Exactly. It's no secret that eventhough CF has made many improvements to GL it still isn't pulling in the numbers CF wants and it certainlly never had, nor are they going to pay for, the infrastructure to better maintain rides like x flight which require quite a lot of maintenace attention and experties. I'm not saying that the crews up at GL are incompetent, tney are just spread too thin. PKI, has maintenace staff in their ranks who have come from both PGA and Carowinds and have experience with the same type of coaster. PKI also has a larger maintence staff. Geauga just isnt performing and X flight was hurting them more than helping them.

I would like to see HUSS in business.

Speaking from similar personal experience, that is one of the the worst sounds in the world.

Ahhh good times riding the chaos ride at CP with Uncle Henry..... "who needs maXair when you got this thing?"

You cant beat southern weather during the holiday season. I'd give anything to be in Texas right now....right around Austin.

That DDN video is terrible, but whats to be expected from them? Like Bill said, the master blaster is absolutely fantastic. The water park is so good. ALmost eveyr inch of it always has water on it.

^Dane, Ryan, Bill, and Robbie work extremely hard alongside Maureen and Mike and the rest of the marketing team to make this site the best out there and it shows! Thank you guys for your hard work.

^And to furhter a new reputation I think they should add some tunnels and give it a new name.

Not necesarrily, they could alter the current Premeir trains to make them lighter and save money. It has been done before. However, I would love new trains.

Before you believe this load of crap keep in mind this is the same guy who said PCW is getting Survivor the ride for 2007 and that they had a big display set up there in June of 2006 displaying all the concept art for the ride. None of that was true.

Actually it could, its not like the cherry picker you see mounted on the back of a van inspecting your power lines, it is quite large and can hold up to 6 men at a time plus additional weight.

^Coming from the same person who said if we flew over PKI we would see definite changes on SOB

^Google actually is in the process of updating, certain parts of the world have been updated but certain areas are not.

If the loop came down it came down awful fast... Pictures taken December 3rd show absolutley no equipment back or near the entire ride, not even one truck. Then 3 days later on December 6th we get the first word from shman and cyoung that its gone. Shman actually delivers what might be proof where as cyoung is just claiming that its gone. The next day on Dec. 7th shman returns to get more pictures, still no loop. Now look at it this way...Theres absolutely nothing but som tarp on the 3rd and within 3 days theyve gotten a crane in there and removed the loop but by the time shman goes on his lunch break the crane is not in view anymore and on Dec. 7th no crane or equipment anywhere around the park is seen. They must have done that awfully quick. Not that I dont think it is a possibility the loop is gone but two new trains from PTC would cost probably close to two million dollars and I'm sure Intamin, millenium flyer, or any other quality trains are not cheap either.

And why exactly is that?

Unfortuanently while I hear SFGAdv is a fantastic park, it has an awful reputation concerning the fact that you can never go on one day when EVERY ride is working.

Ahhh the new flag ship of the Six Flags chain. I'm glad to see this park marketing to families yet again, Six Flags really seems to be really doing what Shapiro's been promising....more focus on the family. They install two major coasters back to back (and a new kids are along with one of those coasters) then immediately install yet a 4th kids area the next year. I'm glad to see such a wonderful park get so much attention but what about the rest of the chain? How is SF affording all this and are the other parks suffering because of it? I've long heard that GADV is a great park with quality landscaping, entertainment, and a family friendly staff but have never heard more than 4 good things about SFKK.

^So why dont you point us in the direction of it?

^Why "should" it have been visible? Where were you in the car considering you cant get in the parking lot. The picture where I had a pic of the loop from last year was taken deep into the parking lot at the bottom of the slope. You had to be IN the parking lot, not by the tolls or pick up drop off area. I had permission to be there last year and was even with security when I took them. That was the only angle I got the loop in. Not that I dont appreciate your efforts kiwi, I do but I think its safe to say that the loop can only definently be seen from one close angle of the parking lot, and to get to that angle you must have permission to be in that patking lot. I was able to get some pictures friday night from Kings High School and the great wolf lodge, I did not tresspass on anyone property and I will post them soon.

^Thats because their grand opening is this thursday! Kiwi to share your pics please go to www.imageshack.us, upload the pics then when they are finished uploading copy and paste the link it gives you next to the words "hotlink for forums" and paste it into your post. Then, when you post the image will appear. If you need to get the pics off your phone to your computer send a pixture message to an email adress, I'm not sure how this works with other companies but when I do this on my Verizon phone only my standard txt plan applies. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the updated pictures Shman! This is very interesting indeed and yes, you were at about the exact same angle. Did you take them from the park and ride? I took mine from within the parking lot, like you said, so that may be why, but considering that the parking lot is not on a steep slope or anything I dont see why the distance between our spots would make that much of a difference. I wish I would've gone up today but I didnt want to brave the weather and traffic so thank you for going up. I'm gonna try saturday afternoon.

Myself, Dane, Ryan, and Bill plan to form an investment group to purchase Americana and get it re-opened, if any one wants to spot us the money we'll buy one of these and put it in, oh and if you could loan us the money for the park too that would be great.

I have to work up in the area saturday so maybe I'll try again then. I could barely keep my head up during my government teachers lovely presentation on obscenity laws so I dont know how I'd manage to stay awake in all that stop and go traffic.

^I want to but heres my dillema, I could leave right from school adn take I-75 to tylersville straight to KI then hop on I-71 back to my house but with how awful the weather and road conditions were I;m warry of having to travel through mason during the school rush and then on I-71 and I-275 during rush hour. I don't think I will have time to take them today, I would do it tommorow but I have to work.
