What is it with coasters that are next to a FOF? Some bad karma there. LOL

If you attend Coasterstock this year, you might get to hear Maestro briefly laugh in that building once more.

It could be "Yesterday Once More". I think only a handful of people on here will get that reference. lol

I'm excited. Now I have a lot of work to get done before the event. LOL Can't wait to see everyone there.

The Fessler films are different than the ones you donated to our project. I busted folks to know that. Lol. Yes, the Coney Island reels contain a lot of...um....let’s just say those portions will not be restored. Lol. Yet, there are some gems in it. I’m hoping to get them scanned soon. The problem is the chemical that is used to clean the film is pretty nasty stuff and requires a well ventilated area. Since it’s been below freezing outside I haven’t been able to probably clean them. I wouldn’t even attempt to do it in my basement. Stay tuned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s called courtesy and respecting the park’s privacy as they prepare for the new season. A concept that many have forgotten or never were taught. :| Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just a warning. I would highly advise not flying a plane/drone/etc to get photos of the park.

I think Invertigo’s footprint would be more useful for a return of the picnic grove. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why not just bring back the Skyride. Remove slingshot, add a new station, convert the Snoopy store in PS back into a station. Evacuating people from 100ft up is not as hard compared back to the late 70’s. Fire trucks now days have ladders that go that high. Wouldn’t be hard for the park to purchase a cherry picker with a 100’ reach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I second that motion and move to close the idea of even chopping down any trees. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

“The park's iconic international-themed entry is ready for its first-ever makeover since the park opened more than 45 years ago.” Somebody at Channel 5 might want to fix this statement. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ditto LOL

There are usually multiple events going on in the park the same weekend as CoasterStock.

They were, the itinerary hasn't been updated yet. Not sure if the site completely live since it is not on the front page, but the link I have booked marked shows the dates for 2019.

The same as the park building an RMC, a wing coaster, a new bathroom, a new restaurant, or even nothing at all.

***Updated, we have one now. I’m actually looking for a 1972 souvenir map in good shape to borrow for the ki50movie project. I need to get a ultra hi resolution scan if it. Send me a pm if you have one. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would support that.....as long as we get our Eagles back from Carowinds and they put it back in Coney Mall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That would be Joey Fessler. These are the reels of film he donated. There are 2 from Coney Island we plan on restoring as well.

I sent you a PM. Here is a snippet of what has been done on some 8mm donated by the Fessler family from Bellevue, Ky. This is just initial steps in the process. Far from a finished product and already much improved. The frame on the left is what you get from most places if they provide a good telecine. On the right is our 1080p direct frame by frame scan of the film. https://youtu.be/4D8jG0kMfDE Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, WaterWorks took away the seclusion of the train and the back of Hanna Barbera Land.

IMO, the biggest cosmetic changes. 1. Adventure Village/Action Zone 2. Rivertown 3. HB/Planet Snoopy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The sign was just repainted a year ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You should see the model on display of the new coaster design from GCI. Sweeeet! Photo Credit to In The Loop FB page https://www.facebook.com/inthelooppodcast/photos/pcb.2281063755502885/2281063675502893/?type=3&theater

I’m pretty sure there is a reason they haven’t yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If CF holds true to past actions, then they will salvage any parts they will need to service Nighthawk at Carowinds and scrap the remaining part of the coaster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
