Woohoo! I'm going to KI tonight so I can see all this in person!

Results! Now they just need to get away from that close-up of the splash down. It was cool at first but now it just looks like dirty concrete.

I went to Halloweekends last year on a Saturday (I think I trip reported it here) and it was horrible. I'll never go on a Saturday again. There were huge lines for everything including bathrooms and ATM's. We waited for food near the front of the park for almost an hour. Next year it's Friday for me.

I'm disappointed that I didn't get up there this year. First time in like 10 years that I haven't but I'm planning on making up for it next year.

I'm supposed to be there Friday with a group of folks.

That's a little sad. It's a very pretty picture.

Are they doing that for the Haunt or something? That's cool if they are. Were they all over in the Kids area? I'm going in a couple weeks and would love to get pics with as many HB characters as I can find if they're out.

All this waiting is for the birds. I need to get my Marty Mcfly "life preserver" and grab Doc and go back to the future so I can ride this thing now....er...then...er....later.

I believe the 2 space ship things you saw in the Coney Maul were cars from the old Jetsons ride in HB Land.

Word. Need a ferris wheel.

Wow, that's impressive. I can't wait to see all that's been finished when I go to the Haunt.

Have you seen the sign for CP's Cornstalkers? It's pretty sweet. I don't remember if KI had one or not.

I'm a big fan of the getting the trams going again. I mean you have the long turn around sections still there for them to drop people off; might as well use it. If they plan on never using the trams again, then push the entrance about half-way up the turn-around lane and make International Street and the entrance larger.

Are both sides going to be used for the Haunt or will one side still show Elvira or another flick?

Instead of screaming on the Fury, people should have a Battle of the Chortle. Try chortling back and forth. Who's not up for a good chortle?

But I joined before you and you're #11.

What's the member number really mean? I'm #911, but I joined in 2002?

I joined October 1st in 2002. I believe I was one of the first to sign back up when the sites merged. Obviously I wasn't much of a poster, but I feel like I'm getting better.

^ That was pretty good. I predict you'll find a check from me in your mailbox. But then, I'm not a fortune teller at all.

I remember riding Millennium Force a few years back when it was around 45 degrees on a windy Halloweekends night and it was awesome, but the wait in the cold was not. Frozen tears on the face are fun.

Same way people "know" Flight Commander or The Smurf ride isn't coming back. Nobody is a fortune teller here, but some things are pretty certain. The fact that the Paramount rights are gone from the park and that no new Tomb Raider movie has been announced for the foreseeable future that the park would want to cash in on, makes it a pretty good bet it ain't coming back.

I think it's an extra scary box. The others aren't labeled like that. They'd better be careful. The one next to it has an "S" sprayed on it. Probably for "Scary"!

I wonder what's in the box labeled "Boo".

Same for me. I probably have a couple pics from when I was a kid, but I'd have to find them, and they may be at my mom's.
