Reclaimer Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Just making the ol' rounds on the Interwebz today, I couldn't resist looking at Screamscape. I am one of the many firm believers that Screamscape and its creator, Lance, are the epitome of jerks on the Internet, but I still have to check out the site for updates. Today, one of Screamscape's headlines was "Great America - New Name Confirmed and Top Spin now on site" (bold for emphasis). I *had* to check out the "news", considering it was Lance who last "confirmed" the Knotts Great America name. Low and behold, the first sentence of the news story confirmed my suspicions that nothing had been confirmed at all. The excerpt: (and mind you, this was **CONFIRMED** on the front page ) Screamscape can confirm that we believe that California’s Great America will indeed become the new name for the park in 2008. Ohhhh Screamscape. Always good for a chuckle. Even if this *is* true, which it could be...You don't say something is confirmed and in the same breath say "we believe".

Captain Nemo Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 The Irony huh. Wikipedia has more correct things than that site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I really don't see why so many people sling mud at Wikipedia, sure anyone can edit it, but if you ever doubt what an article says just go to the bottom and view the sources for further reading and research. Wikipedia is just organizing information for you. As for the screamscape thing, thats just usal screamscape. They never really have that much more "inside info" than anyone else, just a porrly laid out site with massive amounts of advertisements and never have any real news. The fact that they have to confirm what they believe to be the truth shows they dont really know the truth at all. Take anything screamscape says with a very large grain of salt.

Erosarrow05 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 ...yet it is a frequently updated site with lots of information and there is a lot of truth as to whats posted on it. Of course you have to weed out the occasional fluff. Despite youre opinion of screamscape, its still fun to read ... and come on, we all do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Haha, exactly my thoughts on Screamscape. I know more than half what what they say is complete BS (and if you post tons of stuff, some of it is bound to be true eventually)...I just like to amuse myself and check it out daily. It's good for a laugh. I get my news elsewhere. Although this does appear to be one of those "trumors" http://themeparkvillage.com/gallery/displa...&fullsize=1 CAUTION: Link will resize browser window.
