You are absolutely right, Terpy. Who knows what they would have done to her had her father not stepped in.

I'm highly doubting a new train for Invertigo. What reason is there to change it in the first place? The current train is in pretty good condition. It won't make the ride any better. Not to mention, I'm not sure if the Invertigo track could sport 4 across seating.

Just curious as to why it has taken 15 years to get it up and going? Not bashing, so please don't take it that way.

I would have expected this story to come out of New Jersey. Still, what a senseless thing to do.

WV may need to change, but from what I understand and have seen personally, Ohio is ok. They check at the beginning of a season and have been known to show up unexpectedly throughout the year.

Funny thing is, Woofer, I and several other friends already thought he was before he told me. I just acted "surprised" because for him, it was a revelation.

Heck, I expect to get some parenting advice from some of you more experienced members. Love the slide show.

Hit the nail on the head. I have relatives and friends whom are gay. They are some of my most favorite, kind, non-judgemental folks I've ever had the privelidge of knowing. One of my friends even came out after 20 years. I assured him that nothing was changed other than him finding his true self, which is never a bad thing. Funny that people think you automatically go to hell because you're gay. What I was taught is that God hates the sin, not the sinners.

Wow! That is a serious oversight! No regular maintenance checks?

Of course someone saw them in person. How would this info. have been leaked in the first place had no one seen them in person?

That explains the confusion!~ ~

Ummm, raging wolf bobs was re-tracked. It only was SBNO for the last season after the accident. I'm lost on that point.

Sure you do. You tear down parks that don't make money and those that make money, you invest in. Simple...ain't it?

If SF was so successful, why even sell? Looks to me more like SF over-developed, realized what they did way too late, then dumped their troubles on someone else. Would you still be angry had SF just closed GL instead of trying to sell it? The mistake was NOT selling to CF. Many mistakes were made prior to that. So, if you don't scale down GL, then, in your infinite wisdom, what is the answer to bringing in more people through the gates? (a hint: the answer isn't marketing) Remember, CF did not start removing coasters in the first year of the aquisition. CF had to try to rebuild the reputation that SF had ruined.

Three cadidates? Obama, McCain, and ?

Well, that absolutely makes sense, then. I did check out rcdb.com and it lists the Big Dipper as being built in 1958. That site is usually correct. Was the predecessor also known as the Big Dipper? Or did it have a different name.

SF killed GL when they decided to install 4 coasters in two years. Who, in their right minds would even consider doing that? SF thought that they could compete with Cedar Point and it was proven that they could not. Here is what I think...had CF not purchased Paramount Parks, GL would have been open this season and maybe one more. SF over-developed and GL paid the price. From all accounts that I have read, GL pre-SF, was a very quaint park, maybe similar to Kennywood. SF tried to build it up into another CP. They had a nice coaster count, but negelected every other aspect of the park. What also helped to do in GL was when Sea World pulled out. Many have complained that 700,000 was enough attendance, but it apparently was not enough for GL to turn a profit. My biggest question to GL fans (and I am one and don't have the answer) is what could CF have done to erase all of those bad feelings created when SF ruined GL's reputation? It would take a lot more than marketing.

Well, actually, maybe staying some with the grandparents, some with aunt Jacque, my sister. She is 42 and not having any more babies. She is very excited that her lil brother is finally going to be a daddy. She would definitely be involved in baby sitting, I'm sure.

Screw the theming...I'll take a better ride program any day.

I concur on both counts! Did you mean light as in weight or light as in color?

Hey, my gay uncle loves Ft. Lauderdale!

My wife and I loved Club Blood! I thought the skimpy outfits were appropriate, but not because of the scare factor, but because it's a CLUB! Been to a club lately? Check out the skimpy outfits there! This thread reminds me of a Dangerous Toys song released in the 1980's and it was about Alice Cooper loving scary movies and being scared in general. The song title was Scared. Some lyrics: Hey man, I think I like being scared- And I wish you all were there- Man I really, really think... think that I think- I like being scared- I know I agree...I like being scared!

That's one long ride from Atlanta to Sturgis! I'd have one very sore bottom side doing that ride! Though I would Like To Do This One Year: Iron Butt Ride And if your mom is on a GoldWing - that's one step away from a darn RV! Lord, some folk don't have houses as nice as most GoldWings! They're not really a problem. You just have some folk that are just "busy bodies" and "control freaks." It's similar to folk that buy houses near airports and complain about the jets. I never understood the people that buy houses near airports, then complain about the noise. Back on topic, if MB gets rid of the bikers and grads, who will be left? Not many families go to the main Myrtle Beach strip to stay. They tend to go to north myrtle.

Drat! I think that it was due to Daytona Trip Reports On The Site! Either That or Being Half Asleep! Myrtle Beach has always been problematic for the Bikers. There has always been a branch of the area that has not appreciated the bikers coming to the area. That's really nothing new. On A Side Note, one of these years I'm gonna trailer the bike and go to Sturgis The Daddy Rally of All Rallies! See, I learned something new today. Didn't know bikers were a problem in Myrtle.

Coolness! This is exactly what I am looking forward to!
