Beast1979

They've been sitting there since at least the beginning of the season, if memory serves. On another note, if you think the trains are in bad shape, imagine how the coaster itself must be. They said pieces of it would be replaced daily upon inspection, can you imagine what condition it must be in after a year and a half of (presumably) no maintenance at all? Forget how much for refurbishment, I wonder what the cost of simply getting it back in its original state would be!

And, Cedar Fair continues to essentially stick their fingers in their ears, shut their eyes, and pretend as if there is not a two hundred foot tall roller coaster rotting in the back of the park. This strategy can work, but not forever. I seem to remember someone saying "A decision will be made over the offseason." I guess they didn't specify which offseason. At least Kings Island was nice enough to give us the headstones.......

This entire thing is making me heartsore....The people on TPR are either blissfully unaware of just how harmful they are being, or are absolutely convinced that what they are doing is right, while Rob Alvey, spearheading it all, is being corrupt beyond belief. Honestly...this entire thing is just sad. Stand strong, Kat!

Someone is going to have to do finance-to-English translations for me tomorrow.

Wow....I mean just.....wow! The first 2 clips didn't look that interesting, but these last two clips......wow! What a ride it looks like! What a rush! I can't wait to go to BGA next year!

In my opinion, both sides of the argument need to stop. I'm absolutely shocked at how inflated this battle has become. People can have their own opinions and predictions about it, but both sides are building baseless arguments and starting to sling mud. I suggest that we all wait to see the show and then make conclusions. Jackson, who can't see the future.....

After seeing clip 3, I think I change my mind about this ride.....I can't wait to see the announcement, and look forward to riding it next summer!

Voyge is a good (Err.....flippin incredible) ride to ride once or twice....but its so rough that once it twice is the limit. Legend, on the other hand, is a ride I could ride all, day, long. I adore that Woodie. Raven, too, is an excellent practice in every meaning of the word "fun." Overall, they're all 3 epic.

Along with the "RIP My Son" tombstone, the baby carriage, and the casket with the SOB "Toxic" logo on it, there are also these three headstones. From left to right is "H" (Hercules), "TG" (Texas Giant) and "R" (Rattler.) I'll let someone else try and interpret this for me, I'm done trying to figure out the SoB situation.

I love Holiday World. Pat Koch is incredible. What an idea, listen to the guests and do what they want. Incredible.

Darn..... *Shakes fist angrily* Curse You Sandusky Fire Department!

Testing on Voyage's Timberliners began before the beginning of this season if I'm not mistaken.

I agree with Dave, from the looks of it it looks like a slower, inversion-less version of Maverick with a simpler layout. I won't make any assumptions though until the full animation is released, and even then I'll hold off until riding it.

Certainly did nothing to help their image. It Still looks like garbage imo. That says the most in my opinion. People say "Oh, its SpikeTV's show, not KI's idea." Well, this says to me that it was KI's idea to have this trash at the park.

Porn is a very profitable industry....why not try that next year? Have you seen the line between Profit and Ethics yet? "And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown. And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone....."

Woa.....full version of the site got a huge overhaul.......No more Invision, now it's chamelon? Woa.....

For Toppings with Poppins, I suppose?

Another "Day before the announcement announcement." Is it me, or are things CHANGing?

Surprised no one picked this up earlier.

If you're talking about Paramount, I assume you mean the Viacom-led era. I dislike that era because they added bad rides (Excluding Flight of Fear and maybe Tomb Raider), put wayyy too much cooperate ads into the park (It's one thing to base your rides off of movies (See: Universal Studios, where rides are designed around movies) but they added generic things and gave it a movie name, not to mention everything else, "Gillette Mach 5!" for one) and they were essentially running the park into the ground. The park was trashy, there were only two live shows, and from what I hear they weren't financially interested in running the parks much longer. Had they kept the parks much longer, PKI may have been gone. That's not to say I think current management is a godsend. Yes, they are much better, but have room for improvement too. I, personally, would love to visit the park in the mid-late 70's and early 80's.

This seemed tasteless and lame from the beginning, and that video makes me think so even more. It not scary, or gross, or exciting, its just.......stupid......I must be missing something.

So far the only tickets given out that I think have been deserved all went to Holiday World....

I already listen to Pink Floyd too loud on my Droid, so I'm going deaf anyway. Jackson, who'd rather spend 40 years rockin' out then 80 years of not.

First 5,000 people on Sun. October 10th? Heh, looks like I'm on track to get a Snoopy Bobblehead. Cool.
