I always thought welding would be a cool job. Makes you get into your work physically and I could see the satisfaction gained out of a job well done. Not to mention, I'd love to weld coasters together. Maybe it's not too late to start over?

Someone told me that Bavarian Beetle used to have a problem valleying when it was raining. Anyone know if that's true?

Yes, it was a tv series with Jack Palance...in the early early years.

Too bad we can't go back to the days of HB named rows. Much easier to remember.

Just signed up! This will be interesting.

We were talking about CF, not Paramount. They assumed since the names were less than what they expected, the shows would share the same fate. Not necessarily true. It wasn't a bash on Paramount.

I would like to see more, Chef!

I just hope the entertainment department can make up for the lack of the rides department. I really don't want to see Ice Stake Show 1. I'm not sure if understand what you are trying to get across. All the very bad new rides names. I just hope the shows have better names that's all. In case you haven't heard, Cedar Point, run by Cedar Fair, has award winning shows. It only stands to reason that they will bring in some good shows for the newly acquired Paramount Parks. And, I haven't heard anyone complain about the names.

Believe it or not, it was not originally written by Wild Cherry, although originally recorded by Wild Cherry. I met the man whom at the time was a musician and sold the song for like $500. He really never thought it was that great of a song to begin with. Who knew?

I stayed in the old section once. I believe the air was wall mounted and they did have the electronic key cards. It was not great, but definitely beats the heck out of the nearby Travelodge. Plus, the sheer convenience of being a two minute walk away from the back gate is what really rocks.

Sorry, I was not aware that the Redhawks had a hockey team. They tried to start one at Marshall, but all that happened was a hockey club was started. Meaning, you could use the name, but you bought all of your own equipment. I think it only lasted like two seasons.

A bit judgemental, eh? I've seen weddings and proposals happen in very odd or unusual places. I think the idea is to try to be unique. Case in point...I was at a Huntington Blizzard hockey game and they were giving rides on the zamboni during intermissions. Apparently, this guy had set up his girl to get a ride and about half way finished, the zamboni stopped on the ice. The driver was feigning a problem with the zamboni and her boyfriend came out on the ice and proposed to her. I thought it was pretty cool. Italian Chef, I would say International Street right in front of the fountains.

^Aren't the Redhawks football? I think you may be confusing your sports.

^That really amazes me. Especially for a coaster that long.

I can't imagine being stuck at the top of Drop Tower. I'm scared enough as it is, let alone getting stuck at the top.

Why not just call it roller coaster 1?

And that's a bad thing? Most people don't even know that Firehawk was a used coaster. How is having more trash cans bad? I'd rather see that than fewer, overflowing trash cans.

^^I couldn't agree more, Gordon. Any hockey...dare I say it...even the Huntington Blizzard was better than nothing.

Agreed times 1000! Invertigo is smooth, provides a good ride, and there are too many rides that are identical to Head Spin. And, there aren't a whole bunch of Invertigo rides? Look at the SF chain alone.

Not sure you could use Mystery Mine or Pole Position. They both might be trademarked names. Don't know for sure. Personally, I've read in other threads some people's suggestions and they were much more lame than what CF came up with. I really can't think of anything that would be better.

I happen to prefer Head Spin to Invertigo, so that's why I would want it. But, only if Invertigo hadn't already been installed at KI first.

Not the same ride, nor even anywhere near the same height. P.S. Does that picture look really pixelated to anyone else? It doesn't look really pixelated to me. Good pic Ronny.

WOW, thank heavens that millions of people around the world disagree with that point of view. Why? I agree that it's good that the stories have urged people to read, but it is as predictable as a Scooby Doo episode (not that I'm slamming Scoob).

^If we're not getting nothing, then we're getting something. Easy people! KI probably needs to take a year off anyway. I swear, some of you folks are so spoiled you think a new attraction HAS to come every year. This is not the case.

That was really funny. She looked pretty bored until the drop.
