I'm just thinking... would you guys think I was an a$$ if I got my hands on some construction pics but made you wait until MONDAY's update to see them?

I'd say a week would be a terrible underestimate. I give it a month a the least. They're going to have to push this one a little bit, because not only do they have to get the coaster up and running, they have to deal with the themeing too.

Hey, shut up everybody! We're working on something big!

ha... yeah, when I moderate, I sometimes have a couple of windows open, but this is the first time something like this has happened.

^ You see, that's where we differ. I got hurt at work and went to the emergency room. I had damanged my rotator cuff and was in a sling. The doctor specifically warned me not to ride coasters for a year because the forces and turbulance could cause sevear pain and damage. So anyway, since I went to the hopsital and all, I had the rest of the day off work... guess where I went...

Yep, that was 'good times.' We can't take the blame for breaking that ride, can we?! I remember the first night that you guys broke them. People I didn't even know were asking me if I had done it, and I wasn't even there! Now, the 2nd time they went down.... ::ducks away::

I'm willing to say that a short Fearfest may just not include the first weekend in November.

30 times? Are you rich, or do you get to "test" it out as an employee for free? 30 times - that would be 600 bucks if you were a paying customer! I want to ride it at least twice next year - Im going to try and catch a sale when it comes up. Nathan and I got to ride $20 for the two of us and got the video for free on Gold Passholders' day.

Are you sure that The Beast's record beats the HELL out of SOB? Beast: 7400' SOB: 7032' Doesn't sound like a beating from hell. Sounds like a 368 foot difference. Beast is 7359', but close.

face/off; Son of Beast face/off, Son of Beast, reptar

I just can't wait to hear a live preformance of: "Because you're not hard core Unless you live hard core And the legend of the rent is true hard core!!!"

Looking in to my crystal ball, I'm seeing a sing-along comedy. "Ned Sheebly" will be at the front of the "class" and you'll all be the students. Sounds like it'll be a funny show! Then again, I don't really have a crystal ball, and this is more of a prediction than an abberrition... but that's my 2 cents!

It's almost like a reverse Napolean complex, isn't it?

They were just off for fearfest.

I loved the Nick Parade. I think I saw it about 10 times last season, mostly by chance, but it's definitely something that you can see several times.

School of Rock? So you're saying that the Paramount Theatre show this year actually shows some promise??!! Hey now...I LIKED Magic of the Movies! I saw it.....3 times i believe Donald, I never doubled that you were..... original.. But yes, for the first time in a long time, I am really excited about a show at the Paramount Theatre. Good job PKI, don't let me down!

The fog that I did see work is the stuff that shoots out breifly to the right of the entrance of the saucer when the ship is going crazy.

^ I saw the fog work either this season or least. I'm pretty sure it does work, it probably just needs to be filled. The people floating was never really that great of an effect. I think someone in a pod with a Pink Panther covered in dust is creepy enough! Which lights are we talking about?

If you think about it, FoF is really about 90% in working order, which is phoenominal for a Paramount Park. With the exception of some lights burnt out, the only themeing that doesn't work is the stuff that no longer goes with the video (i.e. the projected vertical and horizontal lines). It may be dusty in there, but it works!

You see, that's another very good point right there. When you think back, it seems like it's been a long time since we had a kiddyland expansion, but SDATHC was just two years ago. Conclusion: everything is still up in the air.

^ I disagree with that. I love the classic look that Coney Mall has to offer and how that any "modern" ride can't bee seen entirely from the midway. I think that was the original intention. I'm just wondering how they're going to prevent IJST from being overly loud with all of the effects....

I think they concentrate on one area at a time per year... 2005: Coney Mall 2004: Waterpark 2003: AZ 2002: Rivertown 2001: Nick Central 2000: AZ 1999: AZ <--- That's the only exception. I guess logically IF we get something in addition to a kiddy expansion, it would be AZ, but I don't necessarily see that happening since AZ is so crowded anyway. My guess would be it would be a Rivertown expansion of some sort, so they can dispurse the AZ crowds a little. RT has plenty of room for more foot traffic since it doesn't dead end like AZ does. Just look at the area next to The Beast, PLENTY of room for a stratacoaster.

As far as attractions go, I think that they're decently spread out amongst the areas. If we're talking about revamping, I'd like to see AZ get a paint job and maybe some touch-ups in Coney Mall.

My guess is that we're getting a kiddy expansion and something for adults in 06. It seems like they are realizing that teenagers make up a good amount of their fan base and shouldn't be neglected. This is made evident with the 2003 Delirium/Scooby double expansion.
