It looks to me like some of you here have never seen the 06 ODA report. http://cid-89ed6cf4fae02c2e.skydrive.live....inspection2.pdf

I have been to both and I want to return to KD more than I do Carowinds.

Well it's next year and you still seem to be optimistic. Looks like you are going to recommend it all the way to 0.

I do not agree that SOB failed because of how tall or long it is.

I don't like Maverick and many others here don't. Just about everyone I have talked to that has been on it says they don't get why some think it's so great. I also don't know why everyone went from wanting the biggest and baddest to wanting just your average coaster. I would want the tallest fastest longest roller coaster with a lap bar that they could get.

I can remember the Demon Drop commercial when it opened. Demon Drop Demon Drop Demon Drop Demon Drop

There was a rumor of a Intamin Gyro Drop going in it's place back when rumors started about it's removal. This was back before it was listed for sale 4 or 5 years ago. Going in at Cedar Point you know the rumor was that it would be the tallest.

I have been going to Halloween Horror Nights for years and it's sad to see what it's turning into. I remember not long ago it was growing and needing both parks to hold it all. It took till 2am to see it all with Express Passes. This years was like it wasn't there and we seen it all by 9:30.

I remember reading something about a very large deductible years ago. I think it was back when the ride collapsed one winter and could have be insurance on the ride. I am thinking it said 250k deductible but it's been too long to remember what it was about.

The beam that failed had internal issues that would not have been caught by maintenance checks. This is a good reason to have insurance and good that you to have the right to sue. I imagine she suffers considerable pain and I imagine she suffers from dealing with this trial. If you ever had to go through something like this you know it's no walk in the park.

After going to HHN over the years it seems that the pockets are not as deep as they once was or they can't reach as deep. This year and last have been disappointing compared to years past. It hasn't been the same sense NBC entered the picture.

I seen HRRR running last night when we was on the way out of HHN but I couldn't tell if there was people on it.

I have been hearing that the new owners may not like to use animals in captivity for shows. They think it's ok for you to come and see the animals but not to see them perform. Time will tell but it's probably going to be a different world.

Just heard from a friend that this could all be done tomorrow.

The invert isn't as good as DB. The front seat is the only good one on them because all the others you can only see the seat in front of you.

I don't know why they rate Kennywood so high.

Cypress Gardens and Splash Island Waterpark Now Closed. http://www.cypressgardens.com/

I will be at HHN Oct 8 and Busch Gardens or SeaWorld on the 7th or 9th. Other possible stops at Clearwater Beach, Flippers Pizzeria, Fred's Southern Kitchen and the Terpy recommended Mel's Hot Dogs.

I would add some bass modules to the audio system to go with the ear piercing highs they got going around the park. They have made some upgrades over the years but still haven't got it to sound good yet.

I think it was more like get what you pay for with SOB. It could have worked but I don't think the money was there to do what it would take to make it happen.

I think this getting serious now. I have some friends working at Seaworld and they are talking about it. It takes something major for them to be talking about the parks.

I have found it to be better when you have to pay to get into things like Haunt. There are some that charge don't charge enough. If you have been to Phantom Fright Nights you understand what not charging enough is all about.

Well we don't have any idea of how many incidents have happened. We only know about the ones that got out. If it was up to the park you wouldn't know of any incidents.

I think one like this with Kinzel and Snoopy maybe coming.
