While you are in Niagara make sure you stop at Herschell's, great place and a most interesting find. http://www.carrouselmuseum.org/

I hope John Reilly doesn’t go on this, or he will be asking for royalties. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Reilly

Those props did not look to be in the best of shape, I would think that a paint job is due and maybe some body work. Besides Sr. Jr. or Gordon had nothing on the King Mr. Petty. (Just my opinion that happens to be true.)

Park the car.

Well the way I look at it, she has to be on something to do an article on a polar bear that apparently in her opinion needs to get laid.

This is a picture of the second Island Queen, the first one had decks that were more open than the second. The first one was destroyed in a fire along with the Chris Greene, the Tacoma, and the Morning or Evening (something like that) Star where the serpentine wall is now in 1921 or 1922. The second was destroyed when the boiler blew up in Pittsburgh in 1947.

CoastersRZ said it fine. I would also like to add that you should just change "most" to "all". I do not know of any launch coasters that had anti-roll back from the very beginning. You have to remember that this is a mechanical device and it gets it's roots from some very primative ideas. In the early years of launch coasters, you had spring tension, flywheel, and diesel catapult.

^^Well Shapiro and Snyder aren't roller coasters are they?

Just think what they would have done if a hurricane would have come thru……déjà vu………..I am going to have to go to the mountain on this one and say that that joke was as bad as Brazilian pumpkin seed. I am Aftershocked that I even said any thing.

I know you corrected yourself but I could not resist! (This thing will not let me insert media!!!)

Yesterday I was very saddened by this news, today:………NO NOT THE BINGO HALL, WHAT WILL MOTHER DO THIS SUMMER?

The only good Huss rides are those that have re-engineered parts from outside engineers. That also goes for the older Huss rides too, the Troika's had major hydraulic issues due to hose size when they first came out. The giant top spin that we are talking about can be salvaged, but at a cost, it will cost a lot of money to re-engineer this one. I personally think that the car should be re-engineered, the swing arms and supports all look heavy enough to support the forces exerted in the '08 season. I am under the impression that the drives and motors were bulked up for that season so the only thing I see left is the car. This is merely an opinion, I have not worked on this Huss (another stupid Huss rule) so I can only go by what I have heard.

I would say early to mid 70's "cuz" KI did not open until 1972.

My Father used to say: "Why do I bother to get up and read the paper?"………such a fun place, I'm with Terpy in the crying room.

Charlie Brow……..I mean Don Helbig as Snoopy? That's a good one!!!

Ahhhhhh......Ann Margaret, now there is some one we should be talking about!! (But she doesn't have any thing to do with the ability to influence our politicians to do what is wanted by the majority. This is a great lesson for the younger members on the way our government works.) (I am curious to how many on here will get the coalition between Ann Margaret (a beautiful women) and the way our government works.)

I didn't even notice until you said some thing Boddah. I think this failed thread should be closed.

Now that's entertainment!!! I even kept with the Porter theim!!

Hold on, you mean the white hair guy that always tried to get into Dolly's blouse? Well if you fold the l's over they make n's……I'd better walk away from this……or maybe run.

Forgive my ignorance, (or old age) but who is Kelly Rogers?

Since all of us are into listening and not leaving messages, I have a question. What did the message say?

One more, how could I have forgotten!!

Need I say more? (These guys are increadible)
