^In Sally I trust.

Isn't that certain coaster behind Racer due for a repaint this off-season, too?

Astroworld, Coney Island OH, and Geauga Lake would be good candidates.

How about a few windows?

Kind of a coin flip for me, definitely more willing if I get off work early.

Anything to brighten up the inside is always welcome.

Now I just have to hope they put chaser lights down the whole length and I'll be even happier. Looks great!

I honestly don't think it would matter that much as I think no one will try to top the length record, wood or steel. Also, I know the drop angle of the first drop is changing, but is the helix having an angle change, too?

This may seem like a very pedantic question, but with the alterations, will the length be affected, even if miniscule?

Raises hand.

When it took its excursion down the river, how long did it take them to bring it back to Coney to rebuild it?

I'm also pretty sure Intamin ships their trains together in one crate per train (they typically use containers like you see on ships for American deliveries), not each car individually.

For 2022, Hersheypark is repainting their Boomerang coaster, Sidewinder, and adding on-board music to create Jolly Rancher Remix. They're also adding an unnamed flat ride in front. https://www.hersheypark.com/explore-the-park/rides/jolly-rancher-remix/

Something I noticed in the original post- isn't Congo Falls an Arrow, not Intamin?

I think Viacom tried several times to get their own Universal Studios style park in Europe to no avail.

One like Mammoth at HW please.

Sigh...I miss walking by the KCKC lift when queueing for Beast.

I can't find any photos anywhere unfortunately, but one used to be in The Beast plaza just past the arcade and just before you enter the queue switchbacks. It was there in the 90s and I think very slightly into the very early 2000s.

^It was a structure that had a bunch of misters and Coke vending machines. It was nice to walk under in the middle of Summer.

The Coca-Cola Cool Zone just before the main queue.

That's why you blow dry on Invertigo or Banshee.

They probably want to do it, but simply aren't attracting musicians to do it.

I think a wheel should be separated from the Eiffel Tower a bit so it kinda has its own place in the park skyline.

I wish they would give Sling Shot and Skyflyer a lighting package. Skyflyer's was awesome in the 90s.

I will say that 16 year old me wouldn't have been dreaming much because when this thread was started. Paramount was adding pretty cool stuff year after year, though, it was before some of us knew what crappy stuff Paramount pulled with a lot of their additions back then.
