http://cbs5.com/local/great.america.invest....2.1123940.html Thanks for all the info you always bring to the site Terp. As Diamondback FOF said this will probably be expensive ad does stink for the park and the ride itself it has to be done to ensure that this doesn't happen again. I actually got the news of this coaster being stuck from my grandmother. She called me and said "A roller coaster is stuck upside down." Of course I said "No way", because as we all know it's almost physically impossible for a roller coaster to get stuck upside down. When I turned on the Fox news I was surprised and thought it was our precious KI Invertigo. Lucky it was not. Also I was surprised that this made national news. All the stations(Fox, CNN, NBC, ABC) probably thought this incident was going to result in death or they probably wouldn't have aired it.

Those do look like "run-of-the-mill" magnetic brakes, but who knows maybe is for a launch system. Here's a picture of Diamondbacks' magnetic brakes courtesy of KI Man:

These clues CF is releasing about all their upcoming projects and maybe the connections with the Whyte Lightning Bottling Co. is truly making this process more and more interesting and entertaining. Us coaster enthusiasts usually know much about rides/coasters before they open but this time CF might keep us guessing the same amount of time the GP is guessing; relatively speaking that is.

When you are posting, look at the top of the posting box. There you will see the generic "bold, italic, unlined" and so on icons. The icon that is seventh from the left is the one you are looking for. It says "Insert Image". Click on it on a box will come up that says "Please enter the URL for this image". Simply get the link from whatever photo site you you have uploaded your pictures to and then press the "Ok" in the aforementioned box and your picture will be uploaded.

^I think that new trains would be the ticket. If they were to go with they should go with the Gravity Groups new coaster trains. Here's some info on 'em: And here's a video. (click the HD button)

I won't be able to go, but the lines should be little to none. Kids in Tampa will be starting school soon and I doubt many tourists will be there. You should have a great time. (Ride Rhino Rally)

Nope, only in the great US. I'd love to take a trip up to Canada sometime and tackle all the parks I could up there.

When I went to Coney Island a few years ago I rode the dodgems while waiting for my cousins to comeback from their car. I was totally surprised! They were the best dodgems I had ever ridden.

^Agreed 150%.

^Noted.

^All I can say about those pictures is "Wow." They are all great, but the last one, of the sky nonetheless, takes the cake.

Did you mean expect or except?

I've always done this while the ride goes through the corkscrews and batwing.

If the transitions were smoother, especially the one after the first drop and going into the MCBR, the ride would be a lot better. Those transitions really beat you up. I feel bad for all the kids/shorter folks that ride Vortex.

Does anyone have any speculation to how the ride got stuck up there?

This is just spinning into a bunch of nonsense. I said what I said. I'm not going to apologize for it or take it back. Now lets just get back to the topic.

That is my dream job. Very smart an ingenious Intamin. Kudos.

That tower looks like it would have been an engineering marvel. Thanks for the article. Terpy.

I got none... I was actually looking forward to riding it when I went up to Ohio in July.

Obvious reason? Your making it sound like its disrespectful to have it on that day when it isn't. Its like saying to a little kid that he can't have his birthday party because it falls on 9-11. Also your post has been reported. Listen I was not saying because it's Pride Night. In my opinion the park shouldn't even be open that day. And my birthday happens to fall on 9/11. So no, I'm not against a party on that day. Their was no reason to report me. It's not like I was bashing Pride Night or calling people names? I wasn't being a bigot. The "obvious reason" was because it's September 11th, not Pride Night. Even if I did say "obvious reason" and was referring to Pride Night I would be entitled to my opinion just as you are entitled to yours. The park isn't open...its being rented that night for a private event. Your not bashing but there was no need for that post. before you post , ask yourself is this necessary? Do I really need to post this? Will the offend someone? Do i need to express my opinion? Does my opinion go along with the topic? The park is open. And the first thing I said was "No offense to anyone..."

^It's not I can't ride Diamondback. It's just that I couldn't ride it this trip. I'm gonna get my thighs thinned out for next year. If they won't thin out I'll just cut chunks off of 'em. Oh, and I'm glad you like the pics. Thanks.

Congratulations on winning the contest. The VIP tour sounds like a good time, but unless I win it in a contest like you did I don't think I'll ever be doing it. Nice TR by the way.

^You talkin' about big momma?

Look at my signature.

Started to get very cloudy also it was in the evening. Well that explains it. I did see the dark clouds in the pic, but it still looked too dark for just clouds.
