Never been to a Dave & Busters. Anyone care to give a review?

My favorite seat on Wicked Twister is the very last seat. I rode Voodoo when it was Steel Venom at Geauga Lake and they were not using the holding brake, so I never got to experience that. Hopefully, it will be used at Dorney.

I'm gonna get posessed this summer!

Cheap? Yes. But, does it really matter? Not to most families or patrons whom only attend one of their parks. I'd say the majority of the GP don't even know that Meanstreak and Detonator have the same logo.

Oh. Thanks for the explanation.

I'm confused...what is Merhcandise Maintenance?

I remember when Camden Park had both tickets to ride or you could purchase an all day ride deal. You could also pay .25 to get in, which was cool for parents or grandparents who didn't want to ride.

I mean, someone told me that BB had a problem valleying after a certain hill, but only when the weather was inclement. I like stand-ups. King Kobra was pretty good, but I really like the Mantis.

Actually, I believe Italian Chef beat you both to the punch in his first post. I think it's clear that he understands that neither will come to KI. It's just a hypothetical question. Never thought about theming a ride to Fantastic Four...that would be cool. Or, better yet, Ghostrider!

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?
