What's Time Warp? AND COME ON! VILLIAN IS BETTER THAN NOTHING! Villian may be. Villain from Geauga Lake on the other hand... -Steven

I have an altogether different question about the Haunt this year. Why was it deemed a good idea to play soft rock audio against a horror movie video on the queue TVs? I'm looking directly at you, Beast queue on the 6th. Action Zone had kind of a hard rock thing going on when we'd pass through that area, but I'm okay with that. It at least works well with the visuals of the night. Flight of Fear had horror movies on the outside screens with no sound, and I can deal with that too. But to have the soundtrack from The Wedding Singer playing against Night of the Living Dead... that's really doing more harm than good for your theme, I'd think. On an unrelated matter, the park is entirely too busy on Saturday's during the Haunt to be enjoyable (at least for Ann and I.) Maybe it's all the unsupervised kids running and flailing and generally being obnoxious, maybe I'm just getting old, but the crowds just weren't doing it for me. I've heard it's better on Fridays, but our fall is pretty packed this year, and Saturday was the only spare day we could find. Oh! One last thing, props to everyone responsible for Club Blood being added to the lineup. That was probably the neatest haunt I've been to in years, barring only the old House of Horrors up by Mount Vernon. -Steven

Ugh. That's what I get for ignoring that little voice in the back of my head shouting "You're wrong! Don't post that!" I'll make sure I do my research better in the future. I was sure that it was steel track in the loop, because I just couldn't reconcile the idea of using regular wood coaster tracks through it. Fair call then, thank you for correcting me. Apologies then to coaster_junky on that point. However, I remain displeased with your follow-up post and the notion of anything going back "were top gun is." Don't you *dare* touch my ride. Not even for a giga-diving coaster. -Steven

Because the thread starter asked for two rides, one in NU and one elsewhere? Not that I dislike your suggestion or anything. KI needs a few more flats to fill things out. Just feels a little coaster-heavy to me lately. -Steven

Bad coaster_junky! We go stupid outside! Bad! Seriously. The loop was a steel element, no wood involved. No word on whether it ever stalled in the loop, but the rest of your hallucination was, well, just that. Now, if I may make my suggestion for the park, all I really want for next year is a little theming and maybe a Starship 2000 for the X-Base area, and I guess either a set of Eagles or Sports Cars (Cedar Point used to have a set... not the Antiques, I liked this other body style better) for Nick Universe. I know that's not very ambitious, but I've developed this thing for flat rides lately. Ann and I put extra focus on making sure we hit every non-kiddie flat we could last time at the park, and it was just *so* much nicer than waiting in coaster lines all day. So there's my vote. -Steven

Music to my ears! I'm still a little down about losing the original House of Nightmares by Mt. Vernon, so this is wonderful news. Ann is stoked too, so we'll definitely be there! -Steven
