Just added mine to the app. It shows 9 visits for me this season, though I'm not sure if those are counting my two CP visits or not. Sent from my LG G3 using Tapatalk

Saturday was reportedly very busy for Haunt... Sent from my LG G3 using Tapatalk

Interesting to hear that that was one of the repurposed military vehicles rather than a new purpose-built one. Either way, ignoring recommended safety fixes is never a good thing.

They're amphibious vehicles based on an amphibious vehicle known as the DUKW which was used by the US during WWII (though the vehicles are custom built these days, apparently they initially started out using refurbished DUKWs). I have yet to actually do this despite working at Newport on the Levee, but it is still extremely popular.

According to the main Ride The Ducks website, they became an independent company in 2012. The one in Seattle however is independent of the national company.

So apparently Hart didn't learn anything from the previous ADA lawsuit. I don't understand how someone who has so much experience in business can continue to wilfully ignore the laws.

A new trailer was released yesterday In addition, they recently released a new website called PeanutizeMe.com which allows you to create a Peanuts character in your own likeness (which is where I got my avatar).

I'm going to make it to that event one of these years... I was planning to this year but took last Saturday off for Back to the Future In Concert at the Cincinnati Pops... Maybe next year!

Ok. I was a bit confused since the CoasterBuzz article was published later than the Meadville Tribune article.

The lack of any further details thoroughly confused me as well Terp. CoasterBuzz managed to get details, but nobody else is reporting anything at all.

I'm still not sold on this whole VR Coasters thing, at least for outdoor coasters. It might work well for indoor coasters like Flight of Fear, but for others, half the fun is seeing the surrounding landscape. Beast wouldn't be the same without the wooded areas and hills. Even Invertigo wouldn't be quite the same without being able to see the parking lot or parts of Action Zone. If they go this route I hope it's entirely optional, or I may be skipping some coasters in favor of a traditional ride.

And I'd been wondering what was so significant about the Ghost Town that they'd make a big deal out of celebrating it next year. I should have looked it up sooner, but now I know. Great story

Conneaut Lake Park revising disclosure statement as creditors want more detail: http://coasterbuzz.com/News/conneaut-lake-park-revising-bankruptcy-disclosure-as-creditors-want-more-detail The article they link to doesn't mention this but does mention other plans the park trustees have for improvements...

Hopefully this will be a good change for the park. I have yet to make it up there, but it sounds like a neat place to visit. Maybe I'll find time to make it up there next year (though I'm still planning on doing Holiwood Nights and CP again next year so who knows).

Not a lot of info yet, but it sounds bad... http://www.abc6onyourside.com/news/features/featured/stories/BREAKING-Mad-River-Mountain-Loge-Fully-Engulfed-206004.shtml Mad River Mountain is a ski resort in Zanesfield, about 50 miles northwest of Columbus.

I need to get back out there as well. I was there in 2010 and haven't gotten a chance to get back out there since. The park has changed a lot in that time (the Hot Cat was removed and several other rides have been removed and/or added since then). Here's my contribution to the Camden Park videos though... That was the first time I'd seen this type of ride (slightly different than Coney's Flying Bobs), and playing great music to boot ("Those Nights" by Skillet).

Nothing on their Facebook page except teasers for their Halloween event and several posts saying they were offering $1 admission for military personnel last weekend (Labor Day weekend).

Keep in mind that Europa Park is owned by Mack Rides. Spend enough money advertising your rides and miraculously your amusement park gets high ratings.

Also note that Cannibal at Lagoon Park didn't even make the top 5 of the new rides category despite getting tons of interest from various enthusiast sites Sent from my LG G3 using Tapatalk

Staffing issues maybe?

Why is the county so intent on forcing them to hook in? The current system seems to be working fine, and it's got to be easier to get a permit to increase output than to spend $600k for something that gives them no real benefit...
