Can you try to think realistically? Hey pot, the kettle is callin'! Never? Intresting....

^^^^ Nice find. I didn't look that close. *I believe* there was talk of CF having a contract with IntaRide LLC for 3 water rides. But like everyone else, I'm just guessing given the "hints" (which BTW are so vague, it could be anything.) It could also be a B & M flyer named "The Bat".... who knows?()

That area would make for a nice log flume. S-S(TR)oKCKC Step-Son (twice removed) of Kenton's Cove Keelboat Canal. Does anyone have a pic of the lettering KCKC used? EDIT- I also have to agree that: - This will be a 2012 attraction. If it is as BIG as what is being hyped, I can't see it being a 2011 attraction. - SoB? What is that? I can't seem to find it on the map....

I suspect the guessing will continue all summer. How can they spill the beans already with all this attention?

Extinct due to global warming....

^ You mean Maverick isn't an Intamin Aquatrax?

^ So those at Coney are past the hip-waders and onto full wet suits?

That is a really good possibility. We have all been complaining for sometime about the theatre not being used to capacity. It does add up to a collective yawn. But at least something is changing that we have been asking for.

Dinosaur animatronic exhibits have been popular in zoos for a few years, I don't believe KI would bring in the same atmosphere. Especially since KI already had the exhibit 11 years ago. Back then, robot dinosaurs were a good draw. I don't see the same draw today. I won't say it's not gonna happen, but, given that the park already had this at one time, and the energy being created by the park's marketing department, it does not add up. Now I did think of another possible idea: could this be the press release for 4th of July activities? KI has had a history of big 4th events.

Here is some info I found, but I do not know which area applies to Coney: http://www.riverwatc...s/ILNRVDILN.php EDIT- I believe this: CCNO1:CINCINNATI 52: 49.8/: 1.5: 51.9 / 54.0 / 55.1 / M M

^ I believe that is a public road where most of the "inside" videos have been recorded.

I have the feeling this will be one of CF's long & drawn out/ hyped-up promotions. CF is going fishing, and they have most of us- hook, line, & sinker.

Many successful PR methods at one time were also considered groundbreaking. This could be one as well. Time will tell if this is a good decision, or, if our guesses are even on the same page as to what KI is attempting to accomplish.

I'm surprised they don't they move valuable items to higher ground at the end of the season given the flood history of that area.

Strange compared to what we are used to- yes. But is there a better way to promote the park and new 2011 ride than to stir up intrest for HH or a new 2012 ride early?

^ That could very well be it too. A trail that big (according to the print shown) would take some time to prepare.

CLP is on the right track. I only hope it continues in that direction. And of coarse Waldameer, where else would the Erie school kids enjoy the last days of the school year?

And what did you do before ERT existed?

Yeah, all that was in the article provided and the name speculated by the author. It will be intresting to see the final plans, if the final plans do come out 3/18.

I have heard that before, but never seen confirmation of it.

I had that exact spelling, and had to edit it after reading the article again. But hey, this is CF. Using -saur would have required them to do a bit more themeing.

Take a step back and really think about this: What motivation would KI have to promote something, from all appearances, seems to be rather big and new, just for another modification announcement for SoB? The last thing KI needs is to promote this venture only to get the proverbial egg on their face and tie it in with SoB. The ride is dead and the park needs to move on. With any luck, the only tie in with SoB this announcement has is it's deconstruction. Stratosoar is still out there too.... EDIT: http://cpguide.drewborg.com/tag/stratosoar/

Why does everyone feel the need to be a moderator on this site? Great question! We will start with answering your own question....

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/03/07/BA0E1I4D3K.DTL At one time I believed the CA governor was playing hardball directly at CF to lower their buy-out on the GA contract. Now, I believe he is playing hardball with 2 of the 3 NFL teams in CA, as sending a clear message to the 3rd. Each needs/ wants a new NFL stadium, and by the governor's comments, it seems rather clear no money will come from public funds. Although, that attitude can change quickly if the right buttons are pressed. LA wants a team and at least 6 NFL teams want new stadiums. If a city ponies up the money for one of the current teams to move out of CA (or if one of the other NFL teams find a new home other than LA) the governor may have his arm twisted.

That could explain why it looks good... Some people tend to take better care of their perpared foods if they personally know the customer.
