Reminds me of "New Coke" from the 80s. Sometimes its better to just leave well enough alone, and when something is working, keep it.

Could you even fathom being the Surgeon who had to perform that? I mean, I know they desensitize themselves to the things they do in their jobs, but still.

A happening like this, would mentally screw me up in a major way, likely forever. The primary thought that would remain in my head would be "Enjoying the hobby that makes (made in my case) happier than anything else, just changed my body and my Life forever in a very negative way". I know, it would be a LONG time before I was a person anyone would want to be around.

And you have the perfect location for a new luxury condo style resort, right beside the marina.

From a flyover via the skyride, that cleared and fenced off area is nowhere NEAR large enough to accommodate anything resembling a dive coaster that would suit the likes of a park such as Cedar Point. It would, however, be large enough to accommodate a compact coaster... possibly one relocated from another venue....or the dark ride that I feel will be there.

Ive yet to make the trek to NJFTP, I must do so, possibly next Summer.

Malem, I will agree that row 4....sucks! Rows 1 and 8 are both good, with 1 being the best by a good margin. I hope those who have not ridden a floorless prior to Rougarou do not judge all by this ride experience, Dominator smokes it by leaps and bounds! Its absolutely fantastic!!!

As a drag racer and go kart racer, sometimes we depend on our winnings from one weekends racing events to be able to afford fuel, tires, food, etc to make it to the next weekend...... Sparky, just pointing out things.

And it was run FLAWLESSLY with the SFWoA/GL crews. That ride never, EVER stacked when it was there, that crew was like poetry in motion. As the passengers were sitting up in one train, the passengers in the other were reclining, like clockwork.

You should hear the audio equivalent of bird cage lining that passes for radio advertising here in the Indy/Bloomington area. Best water park of 2014, indeed!!!

Will T3 be operational before the end of Q3? Will it matter after 11/15?

Are you sure thats not red ink, from the books??

And I will be right there, with you!!!

I have to say, I went to HW on the 26th with two incredible Friends, one of which is an occasional poster on this site, and it was one of the best days Ive had at a park. Thunderbird is the perfect addition to the park, and is BY FAR the most re-rideable of the now 4 U.S. Wing-Riders. Ive not been on X-Flight, but I have to put this one at #1 just slightly above Gatekeeper, and leaps and bounds above Mild Eagle. All that ride has, to me, is great scenery. Also, Voyage is running better than it has since 2010, and its happily once again re-rideable as well. Though Im still salty about not seeing Pat there, I will say that I will be back with those same Friends and more at least one additional time this season, maybe 2 or 3.

I've been to several coaster fan sites as well as anything else KK related and there is absolutely nothing yet concerning the whereabouts of T3's trains. I seem to recall Vekoma having quite a hard time installing new trains on Goliath at SFNE... Have you ever gone to an exotic car dealership and looked at a new Ferrari? When you left, did you go on Facebook or fan sites saying you did so? Why not? Its better to not talk about something, you cannot afford to own.

Or wait until next year when they have a liquidation sale like WWK did a few times with old GL dry side merch. Sparky... jus' sayin'

I will be.. oh wait, you know that, because we are going together

Yes, Very good point, Sir! I thought about that same thing right after I posted, and just didnt edit it.

My immediate reaction, after reading the Tweet thread, was "Well played, Dan :)"

You cant deny, Terp, he has concrete evidence!

Oh I know that full well ... I must get that way before moving the other way next year.

You and me both, Brother! My first time ever at HW was May of 2010, and I remember how amazing I thought it was, and taking 20 minutes as I left to personally tell Pat and Will that.

So, for those of you who may have been hoping for this, I emailed Holiday World (over a week ago, I might add) asking whether or not coaster clubs would be invited to Media Day. I get a canned response today from their Marketing Director (funny, I figured Paula would have answered this) giving me all the information I didnt want or need about their first rider auction without a word regarding my actual question. So, I replied back stating "OK, in other words, the answer to the question I initially asked is 'no'. 'Thanks' for your prompt and direct response." In short, what I am stating is A)No invites for coaster club members to Media Day B)Gotta "Love" the new management style down there and C)While I am VERY rarely one to toot the horn of any one park chain, let us all remember how good we as Cedar Fair enthusiasts have it for the Company to graciously invite us to the Media Days for Gatekeeper and Banshee!!

Honestly, it will be in my mind in a way similar to this little tune. If it were still 09, when I met a small group of absolutely fantastic people, then yes Id miss it terribly. Today, as those Friendships/associations have evolved or dissolved...it has become more "A park that I used to know".
