Here are some other shows that will be on the travel channel this week. 3/16 7PM (EST) Ultimate Thrill: Technology of Terror 3/18 7PM (EST) America's Coolest Coasters I forgot to watch the show last night.

I go in early June and the packages are slightly less during that time. You can check out the prices on Cedar Point's web site. They also have a phone number you can call and get prices from too.

I thought that all of the information given out so far was done on the day of the annoncement at PKI. So, if this was the case, then that's where people got their info.

All I can say is, this won't change a thing. There will continue to be smokers in line and as someone earlier said, when no one is around to watch, smokers will light up even in the undesignated areas. What they need to do is enforce the policy in place for starters. And, flat out start ejecting people from the park for this.

"And who exactly is eligible to attend the media day..given that this is my first year as a part of a media organization it would be cool to see if I can make to one of the media days." Ummm, the media? Meaning, not the general public.

^Huh?

Yeah, but what does Intamin have to do with The Vortex? Arrow Dynamics built The Vortex. I don't see any silver in that pic. I see the typical orange and blue. Didn't Vortex get repainted like in the last 2-3 years? There's no need to repaint it.

I'm not sure if I'm going this year, but I am planning on visiting PKD very soon. Volcano: The Blast Coaster is one of the main reasons I am going. Plus, it looks like PKD has a pretty good collection of coasters.

Yeah, I have seen this before. I used the photo as a reference for a Beast recreation for RCT2.

While I would like to see it happen quickly, it could take years to hammer out a deal with interested prospects.

Yeah, here is the link to the Gerstlauer Euro Fighter. Gerstlauer Eurofighter To me, this seems like the better choice. Click on the simulation and it will show you what they can do via the No Limits game. They actually build them with more than a 90 degree drop.

As far as I know, the King's Island workers whom built The Beast and SOB have only built wooden coasters. I don't think they know enough about about that kind of coaster to build one. Really, if you look at the B&M vertical drop coaster, it really would be hard to build around a car that wide. On the other hand, if you have ever seen the Gerstlauer Euro Fighter, where it holds about 4-6 people, it would make more sense.

I wouldn't think you would need a park map just because they get bought out and change the names of the rides. You should still know where they are located. I collect them just to see how the park changes from year to year.

^You forgot that there's about to be one here in the good 'ol U.S. It's called Sheikra(B&M) and is being installed at Busch Gardens Tampa. Also, Gerstlauer has a vertical drop coaster that would do the job nicely.

Millennium Force goes at least in the 70-80 mph range around that bank. IJ:ST top speed is like 40 mph, so I hardly think it will be faster than MF.

Does it really take that long to construct new trains? Even if they have to do it completely over? I can't see it taking the next six months to build new trains. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I think.

One of the best trips I had was one where I stayed at the Breakers Hotel. The room was pretty decent and it was only a two minute walk to the gate.

Actually, kong fu guy, Cedar Fair (who owns CP) looks good on the books, Six Flags International on the other hand is not doing so well. And, I'm not sure that SF will ever right that ship. They have dug themselves a deep hole with no end in sight.

I would say that there are still planned themed rides for PKI. I'm sure there has been a plan in place for years. Yes, they are trying to sell, but that could take years to do. In the meantime, they are still Paramount and you will probably see Paramount movie theming until it is sold. Any of the Paramount themed rides could be re-named. You would just have to take out any movie props or references.

I think no Nick show, but I understand that the parade will be returning.

Yeah, it is kinda like a MF curve, but on MF, the banking is still a lot steeper than that. It nearly turns you upside down, like in this pic Millennium Force Bank

I'm sorry, like a sweer? I'm sure it was just a typo. Could you explain?

If I had that kind of money, I would buy it for sure. How many people can say that they own a coaster car?

^Meaning the people of PKI? Or enthusiasts?

You're right familyman. Why would any of us want a ride removed? I'm all for a new area being opened up and expanding on what land they already own.
