When I rode Flight of Fear last, they were holding loose articles, including bags and souvenir cups. At Firehawk they wouldn't even let me in line with a souvenir cup, yet were allowing guests to help themselves to the employee water. The line was quite short that day, but given the typical Firehawk lines, I cannot imagine why they won't hold souvenir cups on Firehawk. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

I wouldn't expect wiring to start until the track is complete. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

KI considers it a coaster. That's all that matters. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

I know some people found that character creepy, but I loved those ads. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

Roger Rabbit was released on Blu-ray earlier this year... Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

Here's a better example. Watch the guy in the black shirt (pretty easy to see here though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fn2Xm3YnIA And, for nostalgia, here's a video of the Flying Eagles at KI on the last day it operated. Sadly it's not great quality, but it still gives you a good idea of how you can snap them: Perhaps the best snapping video I could find - this is what happens when a bunch of enthusiasts ride. This is the ride that was at KI in its current form:

Most of the attractions at Coney are low-capacity anyway (with the exception of the Round-Up and maybe Flying Bobs or Tilt-a-Whirl).

Hate to see classic rides going (especially if it's the one I'm thinking of), but a new ride should be interesting either way. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

Just because they're snappable doesn't mean the park will let you snap them. I've heard of parks where that isn't allowed, though I've only ridden them at KI and Stricker's. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

One thing to keep in mind about the freebies at Holiday World. Beech Bend also has free parking/soft drinks/sunscreen, though I believe they do it because of Holiday World. It would be great marketing for them if HW stopped the freebies, even though HW and BB are much different parks. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

One interesting thing. The CP website mentions that Eagles riders will be able to control their ride - from mild to wild. Hopefully this means they'll let you snap them. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

If I'm off on Monday (not likely as I haven't been off on Monday in a few months) I'll be at Stricker's Grove. Haven't been in a couple years. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

I'll definitely consider coming this year. I wanted to go last year but forgot about it. I'm planning to take the 22nd off for a Cincinnati Pops concert though, so I might have to skip this.

They realized they could make more money by turning the SRL into a Fast Lane, and they can still fill the train by properly managing row assignments. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

This video will give you a good idea of where King Cobra was. This was taken near the end of the ride's life.

Yes, that's an old Bat footing. There are quite a few of those around Vortex. There's also an old Giant Slide footing behind the operator area at Zephyr. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

The only songs I can recall hearing/seeing videos for on DB (previous years and this year): "We Are Young" by Fun. "Learn to Fly" by Foo Fighters "A Baby Changes Everything" by Faith Hill There may be more, but most of my DB rides this year have been during ERT or when the lines weren't long enough for the video to be turned on.

If only I didn't have to work that weekend...

Yes. It was definitely a more intense experience. I think it fit the theme of tomorrowland quite well actually. The original concept was another Eisner decision. He def catered more to the thrill seeker audience. Once Disney began tying in more rides to its movies, the ride was renamed and toned down. Toned down? That's an understatement ;-) Snzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I tell everyone to skip it. It's a complete waste of time, and beneath Disney... but then so is the Stitch Character. He's every bit as annoying as their other bottom tier character - Roger Rabbit. How can you hate Roger Rabbit? That movie was pure genius! Lilo and Stitch was funny as well (as was the spin-off TV series), though not as good as Roger Rabbit.

I didn't realize there were any other coasters in New Orleans since SFNO closed, but apparently there's still one more. http://www.thrillnetwork.com/content.php?r=3421-Katrina-damaged-Lady-Bug-coaster-to-be-replaced Also see http://theadvocate.com/news/neworleans/6800953-148/city-park-to-get-new for the original article (linked to at the end of the Thrill Network one).

It depends on what's going on at the park and what else I'm busy with at the time. A couple years ago when there wasn't much going on in the offseason, I disappeared in the offseason, but the buzz of Banshee and the fact that I now get a notification on my phone every time someone likes or quotes one of my posts (thanks Tapatalk!) has kept me here more than usual

While in line for Flight of Fear yesterday, someone behind me in line said "This had better be better than Disaster Transport!". Whether they thought it was or not, I have no idea.

I not only know what one is, I had one when I was a kid! So much fun, until you lost a part or found that your set didn't have all the parts for what you wanted to build
