^ I can only imagine all the Demons Screamin' from the walk up those stairs. Many already complain about the long walk back to FD......

^ No park wants to give up a revenue event, but honestly, it is probably more about the crowd(s) than the money- at least for this Saturday. HW Saturdays are notorious for bringing in HUGE crowds- to the point that the gates have stopped people from entering the park & the park ran out of a good amount of menu items.

Even if SS is a seperate ticket, I can't imagine holding on to Timberwolf and not upgrading to Luminosity for that one attraction. Luminosity brought HUGE crowds to CP almost every night. If people are staying at the park later, and spending money, that would makeup for whatever loss of revenue due to SS not being at Timberwolf.

Removing TA does not mean another pay-per-ride attraction is in the works as the revenue generated by TA can be compared to a popcorn fart. TimberWolf, at one time, served a purpose. It has unfortunately fallen behind by the entertainment industry standards (lighting, compatability, electrical usage, etc.), thus why it has only attracted less than a handful of events per year. Luminosity on the other hand is fresh & new. It attracted Carly Rae Jepsen, by no means a main attraction, but bigger than Spirit Song thus it is easy to see KI adding a Luminosity type stage to attract other acts like Carly as well as have a new home for SS. AZ would be a perfect place for it.

^ That is a good question to ask over at Coasterbuzz.

Good point! Yesterday being what it was never crossed my mind.

Kudos to KI for knowing you can't do the same thing every year for entertainment. 2011 they make such a fantastic move to entertain people that in 2012 people complain when it is no longer offered. Woulda thunk it?

And some thought midget wrestling would not be attractive to crowds!

A few loose bolts on any structure/ machine sounds dramatic, but is not that unusual due to the constant vibration. SoB had SEVERE vibration that not only caused loose bolts, but numerous issues, including contributing to the support failure that resulted in guest injuries.It should be understood- loose bolts will not cause a structure to sway. They are engineered to sway. If there was no "give" in a structure, it would fall down like a house of cards. Even the Empire State building "gives" about 1.5 inches. The antenna on top of the CN Tower will sway 3.5'.

15 years for CP as top park? Wow..... No matter how some feel about CP, or how some feel about the awards, 15 consecutive years is a quite an accomplishment.

Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down. That brings back memories. I had a Weeble Disneyland castle/ set as a child.

It appears the attempt to generate interest has fallen on deaf ears.

There is a pic of it gone on CP's FB page, unless it was photoshopped. Or the webcam was down and you saw an old view..... UPDATE- pic was photoshopped. SS is still standing.

SS has also been removed from the skyline.

Stay strong my friends. Those who cannot be there will certainly be thinking of the family & all of you.
