^ Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I remember Magnum's first year or 2nd year, the winds were strong enough off the lake that the train stopped on the 2nd hill and fire turcks were called in from Toledo and Cleveland to get the people off the train.

Intresting... Carowinds' calander shows nothing going on after 3/21/08, even though every other day prior shows the only event going on is jacket pick-up. I wonder if the writer looked at that information the wrong way, or if they actually know something. http://www1.cedarfair.com/Carowinds/visit/visit_calendar.cfm

Why are you planning on bringing a slingshot with you? Because in the 2 years that this tiger has been at this particular enclosure there have not been any other escapes prior to this one. Let's put this into our terminology: Perhaps this zoo did not meet the recommended height in 2007 because when this enclousure was built, it did meet the recommended height and as the years went by, new recommendations came about. Just like when a particular rollercoaster had a height limit or no seatbelts one year, and the next year the height limit is raised and seatbealts are added. Things change over time, and for various reasons.

You should have seen the second skyride that went from just West of SRF to the midway East of ID. It was a very comfortable ride over what could really only be described as wetlands.

Now a GWL party would be a good time...

It appears he is trying to say that Maverick in comparison to Thunderhawk is not intense or fun. Obviously just trolling for negative reactions...

Who else would suggest a New Year's Eve party in 1999? Nope, it was you.

CF is putting up a fight with the 49ers CGA is getting FireFall this year and a GCI woody in 2009 i think CGA has a chance Yeah, nobody is counting out GA, but out of all the properties, that is the only property currently being discussed as possibly being pushed out. Was it the: could be sold, proposed 49ers stadium, very early stages, or Nothing has been finalized that threw you off?

^ OK. I did not understand what you meant.

What do you mean?

From what I *heard* (so take it for what it is worth) those trims were added to slow down the trains going down towards the Rhine so that the speed of the trains would be less going into the final brake run. Almost all the track, excluding the final brake run, after the drop towards the Rhine has banked and curved track. Arrow could not find a way to effectivly install brakes on those tranitions.

1) What do you consider a family ride? 2) Also, being a parent, I would rather have several kids areas as opposed to one area. When the wife and I want to go on Raptor, we use the Parent Swap Program, so the kids can hit the rides at Kiddie Kingdom and one of us can wait for Raptor. The same idea goes when we want to go on TTD, Magnum and Gemini. One of waits in line, while the other watches the kids at Camp Snoopy which is close by. We use a Motorola to communicate as to when we are going to be getting on the ride. While Nick U is more appealing, it is a pain in the butt when we want to go on Firehawk, FoF, and Vortex and there is nothing in the immediate area that can occupy the kids' time while one of us waits in line.

Yeah... They also banked the track on all 9 suspended Arrow's after Bat as well, which includes TG. Ironically the last suspended Arrow built.

In 1999? Guess you got the Flux Capacitor working.

Moving in a ride from a closed park doesn't really indicate anything. But even reading between the lines; why would CF moved a ride from a closed park to a park that could potentially close?

But until CF does not meet those expectations, there is no reason to worry. And so far, there have been no indications that they are not being met. Even at that, whatever bank(s) gave CF their loans I'm sure looked very closely at SF's situation. Obviously they don't want their money to fall into the same issue as SF's creditors.

CF is not going to sell a park and liquidate the assets unless they have to do it. And the only reasons that they would have to do it is if the park(s) was costing more than it was bringing in, as in the case of GL. Now GA could be sold due to the issues that they are facing with the proposed 49ers stadium, but even at that, those plans are still in the very early stages. Nothing has been finalized. And I'm sure that someone will bring up CF's debtload. Another false misconception. Sure they have debt. But until they start defaulting on the loan (which will big public news) or start removing board members, especially Mr. Kinzel, CF is fine. Think of it this way; most people go into debt when they purchase a house, well you don't start selling assets to make a house payment until you have to. Don't worry about KI, KD or any other park. There is no smoking gun that points to a park closing.

Chuck Norris has a hot sauce? Does it give you a good kick in the rear?

CP hasn't officially announced their plans for 2008. But from the construction pics on the CP blog, combined with the numerous rumors it is quite obvious that the are renovating the central kids area. Quite possibly with some of the kids rides from GL. It is also supposed to have the name "Planet Snoopy". http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/...f4-16336d4ae5b5

What is this "we" thing? Do you have a mouse in your pocket? Somehow this seems appropriate: http://www.wikihow.com/Recognize-a-Troll-on-the-Internet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

Ahem. Exactly what do you base this senseless comment on? 13 solid years of being on planet Earth of course! Who could argue such a reputable track record as that?
