Well, they did name that coaster in Carolina to the Borg. I thought that there were endless possibilites of using Star Trek theming. Too bad Paramount didn't think so. Let's look at what they did choose... Drop Zone...Perfectly named for the ride experience...however, horrid movie. Face/Off...Perfectly named for ride experience and was actually a great movie! Italian Job:Stunt Track...very underwhelming although in the beginning, the theming was awesome. Not a bad movie, but not one that people will remember for years to come. Tomb Raider:The Ride...not a good movie or ride. Some good effects. Outer Limits:Flight of Fear...Great execution of theming, initially. The show was good too. Top Gun...the first themed coaster I can remember of personal experience. In the beginning, those effects would have been about equivalent to FOF. Face it. Paramount used to make a lot of great movies. The best thing they did in recent history was the Transformers. Now there would be a good movie theme to use!

Combat, er, I mean Gordon, that does look like a cool triple wheel. Never knew that they made one with three.

^I would highly doubt that you could tell how clean a restaurant kitchen is judging by their bathrooms. Do you really think the same people clean the bathrooms and kitchen? Trust me. It's not the same people. Usually, your cooks clean the kitchen and a bus boy or dishwasher cleans the bathrooms. Maybe a janitor.

Yes. Dick Kinzel and the board of directors for CF would know. Beyond that, I'm not sure who else would know.

^The only reason that I thought Head Spin was appropriate was because after going through the loop the first time and up the second spike, my head was literally spinning. So, I say appropriate, but not clever. Kinda like Back Lot Stunt Coaster. It's appropriate because simply, that's what it is, but still not clever. It could be a lot worse. Look at some of the older coaster names that have been used before....SuperDooperLooper for one. Then, look at what really bad names that a lot of foreign coasters have.

I called Camden yesterday and the lady told me that there are other cars to be sold that are in storage. And, of course, the two by the fence are also for sale.

Thank you, Ryan! Wasn't sure how that would work out. This may be my best coaster summer ever! And, my honeymoon to Daytona Beach will be in June!

Leave one for me if you don't mind, Interpreter. I think it would be cool to have one of them. Not sure where I'd place it.

I did the buy now, pay later thing too! I am already setting back some money to pay for them when April comes. I am guessing that you get the parking pass the same day I process? If so, will my parking be refunded for the day since I'll pay before I process? I am so excited about the up and coming season. I will be visiting two new parks next year...Dorney Park and Kings Dominion. Plus, multiple trips to CP and KI.

Well, since I just purhcased my 2008 CF season pass, this would be great.

I personally don't care for Tomb Raider, but, I am glad it's not going anywhere. Seems a lot of people enjoy this ride. I had read a rumor over at Coasterbuzz that it was being removed.

I'm sorry, but I thought after the second movie, HP was just really boring and uninspired. Plus, it looks like she stole her character idea of Harry from The Pagemaster starring McCauley Caulkin from 1994. Plus, all of the plots are nearly identical...someone is being evil...you are lead to think it's one person, then turns out to be someone else. It's definitely predictable.

What a joke! CF just built a $21 million coaster, and it broke no records. Removing Beast because it lost it's record is like removing all trolls from message boards. And removing trolls is not an easy task either. Kinda messy too!

^Oh, I'm sure Screamscape knows.

No announcement yet.

I'm going to have to get my wife to get me a KIC shirt for Christmas! They are pretty cool.

I agree Tggr. My first job was a dishwasher at a Mexican restaurant. Not the most glorious job, but my co-workers (who I became friends with)and I took great pride in what we did. And so, in doing that, I was moved up three different times to two other jobs and later a supervisor position in one of those jobs as a result. If an employer or manager sees that you are doing the lowliest of jobs with pride, it really means something most of the time. At that time, minimum wage was something like 3 dollars and change. I lived on my own and had just enough to chip in with my roommates on a Coors party ball. Good times!

Good to see you, Marueen! I wouldn't force that on anyone, no matter the age. I think people are forgetting that there are plenty of adults whom are too scared to go to HH or watch horror movies. As Interpreter said, there is nothing wrong with those people who hate it or love it. My mother and her brother used to terrify my sister, my brother, and I when we were kids. Mostly, just Halloween pranks. I'm sure if one of us had indicated any real terror, it would have stopped immediately. She just KNEW her own kids.

I wouldn't say that none of those coasters or rides will never be removed. Never is a long, long time. It would depend on maintenance upkeep and ridership more than anything.

Possibly they weren't expecting that much of a demand for the jackets? I personally don't see what is so great about owning a CF jacket anyway. If it was a KI or CP jacket, then heck ya!

Why is it that the 49ers never thought about across the street?

CF is not really all about removing one ride for another...unless it's a total maintenance nightmare.

Gordon, I believe GL had a ride like that in storage. If they are coming to KI, I'm sure you, amongst others, will be estatic. I'm sure you'd take that over Americana any day.

^As you can see, people will still complain even when it's something for free.

Well, there was that horn that used to sound off on Bayern Curve.
