Ohhh He pulled it off again! However I prefer WDW. I still need to get out to DLR though, maybe this summer.

I remember being scared to go down the big hill at the end of the old log flume and telling my dad to that I was scared. He told me he would tell the guy at the top of the hill to stop it and so did everyone else in the log. They just waved at him and I was terrified but it was one of my most memorable moments on a long gone ride!

But didn't you get an email to set up an interview?

YAY! I have a little Mr. Six doll that plays the theme song. I'm so happy he's back!

Oh don't worry I love that song no matter how annoying. As you can tell by the username, I love everything Disney.

I don't really mind the musical changes but don't put in Disney characters. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the Disney characters but this ride is a classic. It sends the message of bringing the world together in peace, not trying to spot our your favorite Disney characters in the different scenes. Yeah the attraction might see some more crowds but don't turn the ride into an spy game.

What do you mean "extended"?

That's not a stupid question. I didn't know the answer either. I also saw a picture of a bunch of Cedar Point's coaster trains in the parking lot for the Hotel Breakers. EDIT: And for your next question I'm just taking an educated guess here. At SoB we would call "wood coaster" to come out and pull the trains into their "beds" at the end of the day so I'm guessing the wood coaster trains are there? And the steel coasters in the steel coaster maintenance shed?

Make up for it? A two day event with 3 ERT sessions, walkbacks and more, making up for the Season Pass Preview Night? Doubt it. OK, I meant for me then. I'm assuming at least one ERT session will be on Diamondback, so that's what I was thinking. I'm still going to try to come. Yeah I was thinking that too. One has to be on DB. I am going to definitely try to come to this, it sounds like tons of fun!

^It does look like you will be very close to the track when walking to go through the entrance on The Crypt. Or are they going to be changing something with that? I can only think of one other coaster where the park actually trusts the guest of the park with putting a coaster and path so close to each other. Griffon. I cannot believe that there isn't something where that bridge is where the coaster flies right under you after the first drop. An idiot could easily hurt someone on the coaster. But it does allow for a great picture op.

Well weren't Hypersonic XLC's wheels like car tires? http://www.coastergallery.com/2000/pkd38.html Well according to Joel Rogers they are airplane tires!

Ugh I wish I was going to have a Gold Pass but seeing that I'm probably going to be working there... But anyway this sounds awesome! Me too Gator, I would be a card-carrying member too!

right but car tires and the wheels on a roller coaster are very different. This isn't a good source but I found this. It's from this site.

Well look at car tires. When they sit out side for a long time in the cold they change shape and everything (right?) I'm guessing it would be almost the same with wheels on a coaster? Terpy where are you!? We need your help!

Well on a roller coaster where a re-launch is not an option I guess they would have to do what they did when Raptor failed to complete it's course on that windy day. But I don't know what they did to fix that but I'm guessing it involves a crane?

That is really odd! But you just have that sense of humor that would seem really interesting to read in a book.

When I worked at SoB, on a Friday in the Haunt season (on a really cold night) we were bringing a train in from the block breaks out after the huge double helix after we ran blocks and the train hardly made it up to the final breaks. The cold makes a hug difference in how a coaster performs.

You should write a book, I would buy it! It would be about the amusement park industry but with lots of comedy thrown in.

Are you guys going to be making any other designs for your shirts on cafepress.com? I was just wondering because I was considering buying a shirt and would hate to buy one and then some new graphic come out.

When I think of changing the entrance I think of the old tram drop off/pick up spot. I would like them to do something else. I would love to see a really awesome and new kind of flat ride put in. Not sure where though. Maybe back by Firehawk and FoF or something.

^Those aren't weird but those are all very very funny! Thanks for sharing! I love the Haunt season.

Yay a nice person that wouldn't run away with it! That is pretty weird though. At least it didn't hit you in the head.

Most of the time I swear they weren't even 18. We need more park police/security.

nevermind....confusion

That's why when ever I worked load side at SoB on a crowded day I would look over the railing of the station for smokers. I caught 3 adults smoking in line in less than an hour. I would yell down and tell them to put out their cigarette and they would try to hide it from me! I just stared at them until they put it out finally. That makes me sick that they are doing it in a line let alone around children. Personally I loved busting people for that, gave me a good feeling inside. When ever I was at the park but not in uniform I wanted to tell people to put out their cigarettes but knew I would probably get beat up. lol
