From Screamscape: Could this be an end to SOB???

Tomorrow will be my 2nd visit in 7 years and I was wondering how Steel Hawg is. My cousin has not been there before. I did like the Hoosier Hurricane and Cornball Express. It was a really neat nostalgic park.

Are the 2 concerts going to be at the Timberwolf Theater? I might go see Collective Soul on the 24th.

Stay Over Trip: Cedar Point One Day Trips: Holiday World Beech Bend Indiana Beach

My impression of how Rivertown looked yesterday was blown away. Diamondback really fits in with that area. The section near the Crypt and Beast plaza looked a little like Cedar Point with DB's final helix next to the Crypt. And I really thought Diamondback lived up to the hype. Hey, it's a B&M...Duh. lol!

My top five steel are: 1. Diamondback 2. Superman: Ultimate Flight-SFoG 3. Montu 4. Talon 5. Steel Force/Apollo's Chariot (tied)

In addition to that awesome group, I saw RexandtheBeast.com, Beast1979, CoastersRZ, Dane, Boddah1994, Captain Nemo, IndianapolisMan, Unrealsk8r, angrybeaver, Cory Butcher, Tom76257, Phantom Theater, rotag1299, Kawana and a couple other people in KIC shirts that I didn't catch their usernames. Here's the Diamondback exit group snapshot: L to R: Ogrmac, (didn't catch a name), gigacoaster2k, pkiruler102, violakat03, keiko_coaster, Phantom Theater, again didn't catch a name, iChase, Avatar, and I don't know the last two names either. The person next to Ogrmac was her friend Robin. I met them in line for the Gold Pass first rider to DB.

Edit: Oops! I didn't see the post a couple of posts up. Never mind this post here.

Here's the TV ad for The Vortex. I have always liked this ad. Interpreter, the voice does say 12 stories.

I believe FoF was going to be renamed MTV's Soundwave according to a survey they had.

When I click on the Voodoo link I get this link: http://www.dorneypark.com/public/inside_pa...ll_rides/voodoo It takes me to the Voodoo page when the ride was being built and it still says VOODOO on it.

Evidently the park's website hasn't changed the name. This could be a rumor though. I don't know. http://www.dorneypark.com/public/inside_pa...rides/index.cfm Scroll down to the bottom.

It looks like they are getting ready to top off DB as we post.

"Topping off the lift hill requires the use of a second crane, which arrived on property early this morning. Once the second crane is in place, the work that needs to be done in this area of the ride should happen rather quickly." Don Helbig: www.kiDiamondback.com So the hold up was they were waiting for the second crane to arrive. Cool.

I am having it do that too, but it seems it's only on the former Paramount parks. I can get on Worlds of Fun and Cedar Point, but not KI,KD, and CW.

1998- Hana Barbara expansion (Scooby-Doo's Ghoaster Coaster) 2001- Rugrats Runaway Reptar opens too Those were the only ones that I remember right now.

Tomb Raider (flying coaster) is now Time Warp, Top Gun is of course the 3rd Flight Deck name, and Drop Zone is the 5th Drop Tower name. It's odd that the Italian Job is being kept. Maybe they haven't come up with a good name for it. Check out the link below: http://www.canadas-wonderland.com/attracti...ry.cfm?ac_id=23

Flight Deck - Blue Angels Invertigo - Keep name Drop Tower - The Plummet The Crypt - keep name Backlot Stunt Coaster - Hot Pursuit Thunder Alley - Waste of Good Flat Ride Space

Also Nighthawk has gotten a new logo as well. http://www.carowinds.com/attractions/detail.cfm?ai_id=1 Here is the logo:

It's already discussed here: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?...11914&st=30 3rd post down.

Since we saw the new Afterburn logo on Carowind's website, do you think we'll see the logos for some of KI's rides?

I actually saw the sign too last Thursday. I went to apply at GWL and was driving in the back to see Flight Deck and was on my way out and saw a gate open and I thought it was a way out. I realized I was on park property and backed out and left GWL at the normal exit. I think that sign is for every year and a good easy acess for crews to get into the park year round.

Check out this logo from a Naval aviation museum. They have a gift shop called Flight Deck. What if TG/Flight Deck's logo looked similar?

Maybe someone hacked into the website somehow and changed the name and Cedar Fair caught it and switched it back.

Now California's Great America has changed their Top Gun to (drum roll please)........ Flight Deck! Here's the link: http://www1.cedarfair.com/greatamerica/att...ory.cfm?ac_id=2 I hope Canada's Wonderland and Our's don't get that name too. We need some originality.
