That looks like a really interesting layout. Talk about ultimate use of the surrounding land.

So, it's not just the home market struggling?

Has the land for GL been sold as of yet? I would think that would help...some.

Knowing CF and how they love to trim their wood coasters, it very well could happen, providing it didn't slow you down too much as not to make it to the MCBR.

I thought the Rose Bowl was much smoother than last time I rode it, which was 2006. It could use a little TLC, but I don't see that part of the ride getting much smoother. I think a lot of it has to do with the speed at which it is taken.

So, roughly three months? Not sure with the wear and tear of only a partial season exactly how much work will need to be done to SOB. Although, most wood coasters get some kind of track work every year.

^That IS a good question. How much of the season did it even operate?

I think he was referring to past SOB improvements coupled with the money that is being spent on The Crypt aka TR:TR. If they are pinching pennies so hard, they would not have bothered to repair SOB in the first place.

However, he did win an award for best gravy buffet destroyer!

Thanks, but it's not really new news... See here..KICentral Last post on page3. For the record, I think we all just about figured this one out way before Screamscape.

To me, the 50-60 million cut backs are a last ditch effort since I believe 2008 is Shapiro's last year to right the ship. I could be wrong about that though. It's funny to people for them to say they want to focus on internet sales and teens considering that they were trying to make SF a more family friendly park. As far as I know, most of their season pass sales comes from that crowd of teens anyways. So, it makes sense to do what they are saying.

^Maybe. Maybe not. Could be that they want to have two very distinctively different kids' areas for the two parks in Ohio. Could be that they haven't even made a decision as to whether or not to extend the license considering it doesn't have to be renewed for a couple of years. Time is on their side.

Hey, wait a minute there. Before I got married last year, I was a guy living alone with four cats. What's that say about me?

I thought Gargamel wanted to turn them into gold.

I just wonder exactly what they are expecting to find on a cell phone?

Cedar Point is not running out of room. This is a common misconception. I really don't feel like searching for aerial photos to back myself up. Others here will tell you the same. They have been, for the last few years, creatively re-locating rides to make way for new ones.

I never thought a thread about KI's new sign would reach 5 pages. It MUST be the off-season!

^They were giving a deposition. You pretty much have to talk.

Well, Wooferbear, here in Huntington, West Virginia, I never have had a lukewarm or cold toasted sub from Subway. Maybe it's a problem in your area?

Not to mention that Quizno's subs are not that great to be charging such a high price. And now, Subway has toasted subs, so no need to spend extra money for that.

Be careful what you say! That winking emoticon represents sarcasm, remember? So in that case.... Why did someone have to teach him that? Now it's showing up in every post! I showed it to him so he could convey sarcasm or know when someone is being sarcastic.

I think there is a Bubba Gump's located at Daytona Beach in the place I'm going to be staying at. It's a time share. I am definitely going to give it a try.

This is definitely going to be interesting to see how this all plays out.

No problem. Some say the names are generic, but, I don't really care anyway. Those will still be some great rides regardless.

Top Gun = Flight Deck Tomb Raider:The Ride = The Crypt Italian Job:Stunt Coaster = Back Lot Stunt Coaster Face/Off = ? Not heard a new name yet. Drop Zone I think will stay the same. Although none of these names have been announced for KI, they have for Great America & Kings Dominion. So, it's a safe bet KI will follow suit.
