I can't wait for work to resume on I305 soon!

There is still a chance we could see SoB next year, running. In this economy, it's likely to be SBNO.

We may never know until the park opens again. Maybe we won't see SoB towering over Action Zone next year.

They aren't. The Diamondback station lights and lights around DB are on. Check the webcam.

So you found them with your ear? Well, he DOES have me as a friend.. who wouldn't hear my loud mouth? Me. Because I never paid attention to everyone's voices at KI.

Close: Kings Dominion (too similar to KI, also Carowinds isn't that far away) Move: Canada's Wonderland Renovate: Carowinds

You opened today? How can someone open? I hope you are ok. Huh?

Giga would beat you to it.

You do know that's also the entrance building, right?

Tooper Mom? Who's Tooper Mom? Sorry. Spelling errors can get on my nerves sometimes. I don't know why.

Do any of you see this happening to MS soon?

You mean like what it is now?

Edit: Never mind, black and silver looks ugly.

It was already red once.

You opened today? How can someone open?

Does anyone think it's the wider track or the size of SoB that's making it rough?

^That reminds me of this. This site? Good?

So you found them with your ear?

The old trains couldn't, but the current trains could. It's not like they couldn't modify the wheels again.

Well 1 and 3 would have to happen together. How would retracking just the rosebowl help the overall ride experience? If I am correct the issue is not just the tracking but the support system leading into the rosebowl, because of all the forces of the ride.... please correct me when I am wrong, just trying to get the info right. Wouldnt they need to almost tear down the rosebowl and rebuild it? I like number 5 except I dont think the park would do. The reason being is as you say in 6b if the tests are bad then they have wasted a bunch of money on the ride. If they do any sort of ride revamp I dont think you will see a big media day unless the ride is 100% perfect. Its so hard though to figure out what the park will do. Because if they put money into it, they will want the ride to be safe and enjoyable, if they put no money into it you can think they will destroy it.... so much to think about... Maybe the rose bowl doesn't need to be retracked. It may just need new trains.

I think KI should give SoB one more chance. This is what they should do: 1. Sell the current trains, or keep them for a new ride. 2. Get Gravity Group to retrack the rose bowl. (Eventually, they could retrack the whole ride) 3. Buy Timberliners. Put them on SoB. 4. Test the new trains. 5. Invite KIC, ACE, GOCC, and the media to a special media day for SoB so KI can see if the new trains work. 6a. If the results are good, open SoB for 2010. 6b. If the results are bad, tear down SoB and put the Timberliners on The Beastie (I'm going to start calling FOC that now), The Racer, or The Beast. SoB may just need the right trains to be a good ride.

Oh, really? Are you not aware that there already is a locally imposed sales tax in Warren County which applies even at WalMart there? I meant an additional tax on electronics, board games, and toys.

I didn't notice. Sorry.

In fact, it should probably apply to some things sold in Walmart, too.
