^Don't corner to fast with that bad boy. Yee haw, here we go granny!

I don't know....that, SOB, was closed everytime I went to ride it. (yes, that was a bad pun.) You could drive worse. Maybe.

Does that mean you decided it was unlikely?

I wonder how much money you get out of scrapping a coaster. Just think, you could be driving part of KC. Oh, well, I hate everytime I think of it.

Just make sure You go for the shaved ones.......

Wasn't there some kind of accident on it at KD? I almost forgot about my trip to MBP. Had my first coaster marathon there. Corkscrew. I really enjoyed that park. It's a shame it fell by the wayside. Nice little park.

^Got to ride one. Myrtle Beach Pavilion.

I'd say terp can answer this..... Was BB a average Galaxi-type ride?

I've often wondered, I know TOGO went belly up, if King Cobra was the first of the stand ups to be scrapped, why did it take so long before the next came down? I've seen somewhere it said "inferior metal" was used. The other 2 that were similar, were the different metal? I really never could figure out the whole KC/TOGO situation. Maybe there never was, maybe they just felt like it was it's time.

Alright, I'm ready, let's go, right now.

Hmmm...............I see..........

I guess it's better than I can do............What are these "perks" they speak of?

Ah, maybe one of these days. I feel fortunate enough to get to go where I'm going next year. It would be nice to get to go to one of the Busch Gardens, or a Six Flags, If it never happens, Then I still have my CF pass. And that's just fine with me. But, really, I was talking about the 3 B&M's up on the big lake, I should've been more specific. Gotta love rookies.

Kumba? Terp, who likes to ask questions. Never rode it. I hope that answers that question.

Yea, but there's a world of difference between the last coaster to be built in the '90s and the ones their building now, IMO. I really enjoy the ride on Banshee, not so much on Raptor..........

I agree with you 100%. You have to have competition. I guess i should've said stranglehold for the foreseeable future. Although I prefer B&M over other coasters, I still like other company's coasters. And you know somewhere, someone is working just as hard as you are, to out do you, at what you do. When someone comes out with something new that's mind-blowing, which sooner or later, will happen, then the parks will have to get their hands on it. All in all, it's kinda like music. If all music was the same, then listening to music would really suck.

^Donating you tree is awesome! We've was talking about getting a new tree this year, which didn't happen. That had never crossed my mind. We give 90% of our kid's outgrown clothes, among other things, to a local church here at home. Now I know what to do with this one when it's time for it to come down. Thank's for the idea! EDIT: Just checked out those models. They would be neat as heck to have. If I found one of King Cobra, i'd be all over it.

I've not heard many people say that they don't like B&M's. They seem to really have their stuff together. Wouldn't surprise me if they ended up with a stranglehold on the coaster industry. Like me, I probably prefer B&M over any other coaster company that I have rode one of their coasters, even though it's a small list. Except Maverick. I just really love that ride, front row preferably. I've wanted to take a trip to HW, really want to ride Voyage. Thunderbird will be a great bonus.

Man, that hill looks awesome. For sure will be taking a trip down there next year.

^Some of the stuff they say, is just off the wall. I would have never caught some of the stuff they said as a kid, but as an adult, wow.

Hmmm, that's a tough one........What year did "The Blues Brothers" come out?

^I'm surprised that place is still standing. Thought it would've been razed by now. That's one of the saddest stories in the amusement park industry, ever.

Millbrook Park. It was less than a mile from my front door. Had the worlds tallest coaster for a while (at a Whopping 60 feet). Flooding from the Ohio River destroyed it in 1913.

My wife bought me a platinum pass. Didn't go wrong there. Now, if I could just get her to ride anything...........

Well, that was.........depressing. Sad, but true
