I tried but since the shirt pic isn't completely flat, it would take more know-how than I have. However, I can tell you that the track and the lower part of the mouth are essentially identical. As far as the top, many of the scales have the same shape and shading. It's definitely a copy/modify job. I still suspect some lazy person was assigned to make a logo for some merchandise. All we have is a single pic someone posted of a shirt.
-
That's my understanding as well. It's also not an exact copy (seems like they made modifications or recreated it) but I don't think trademarks have to be. I think you could get away with this sort of copy if its something completely unrelated to a rollercoaster but that isn't the case here. Though there's a good chance that this isn't the ride's official logo and is just something that someone slapped together for a t-shirt. CF might just send a letter and the shirts would likely just disappear.

I personally do miss the hike, tbh. Venturing far into the woods and then smelling that water. That was part of the experience. I also do remember the snakes, but had forgotten about them until they were mentioned here.
-
Keep in mind that they have no log flume anymore at CP. Snake River Falls is good but at least Congo Falls has that double down with a little airtime. I would like to see upgrades to WWC but I still prefer it to Thunder Canyon. The waterfalls are great but that's all TC has. The boats are so big that they don't really spin and the rapids do absolutely nothing to them. My last ride on WWC, two of us weren't even on the side that hit that rapids yet we hit one set so hard that we got completely drenched from the splash.

A couple weeks ago, in the guest-controller section, the little girls in our raft were taunting the ride op to hit us and he went "Okay, 3-2-1 ..." then of course nothing happened. So I just assumed the ride ops had no control over those. Honestly I would love to just get hit by several times in that section like Captain Nemo mentioned. It's kind of a bummer to not get hit with anything there, which was often the case even with the guest controls there, since the average person, presumably, only wants to hit people they know.
-
It seems like it to me too but it could be in my head. Its not like FoF was ever not rough. I actually love the ride but wish it were more feasible to fix.

My last ride on Banshee was in the backseat and was remarkably bad. I had some fairly smooth rides on it last season but now I don't know what to think. I wonder if need to bring in B&M and sort out what's going on with it because a B&M invert shouldn't be like that.

In my experience, kids just get frustrated with the guns on Boo Blasters. I know modern thinking is that all kids are constantly playing games all the time and have some level of ADHD requiring interaction but reality says otherwise.

I think most of us agree that we want to keep the experience of walking through that tunnel-like entrance. However, that can be kept while still giving us a nice looking facade, instead of having a bunch of plain roofing shingles that they just cover with a large banner.
-
To expand on this: try Racer first since the line will almost certainly be shorter and move faster. If you can get on that, you can get on The Beast. Backlot Stunt Coaster can be pretty tight too, very similar to Flight of Fear. As far as flat rides: you almost certainly won't get on Drop Tower, to be honest, but everyone is built different so I can't say 100%. Delirium has a test seat to try. Other rides can vary. Some of the older flat rides are very tight but WindSeeker I believe to be pretty roomy.

Well they were offering a "free upgrade," so they aren't actually making any money on those of us with an existing drink plan.

You can always hope that KI gets the last remaining Bayern Kurve in the country.

Screamcape (so take that how you will) has now said that someone told him earlier this year that CP would be getting Psycho Mouse. Obviously CP is wealthy with coasters but they don't have a mouse while all other CF parks (other than KI) have either a mouse or an arguably similar spinning coaster. Also, this would give CP a total of six Arrows.
-
This one is more frustrating rather than funny. Guys behind me on The Beast were called out (while on the lift) for having a phone out. They proceeded to call the ride op a "psycho" who was "power tripping"

A couple things from my trip today: Tried The Beast Burger at Jukebox diner and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Jukebox also seems to have some of the better fries in the park, imo. Awhile back I had Chicken Shack which now has extraordinarily bland fries (is there a reason sidewinder fries disappeared from the park?) Later I tried the italian meat croix sandwich from the French corner. I wanted something light and the heat made a cold meal sound more appealing. The sandwich was pretty good, albeit small. Despite some other reviews, I went for the the potato salad and I thought it was okay. It was like having a really light, healthier potato salad. Also, I noticed they started offering to "upgrade" my drink plan to a bottle most of the time I use it. Perhaps trying to relieve their cup shortage issue?

Learn something new every day. But this guy was clearly referring to the recent TGG retrack. Speaking of AE, the guy who said MT isn't a wood coaster also said all the statues in AE were broken. Clearly hadn't been on it in a while.

My cousin (who is about 50) mentioned The Bat killing someone the other day. I tried to be polite about correcting her. Here are some fun things I've heard in recent trips: The Racer was retracked by GCI (easy mistake to make I suppose). Woman on Orion telling her husband that they were planning to take out Diamondback but that got delayed because of Vortex Some know-it-all type behind me on DB said that Mystic Timbers "isn't even a real wood coaster because it has steel <inaudible>"
