Sometimes, I just have no idea what in the world you guys are talking about.............

Which makes the off-season all the more fun!

When is it wise to trade in a trademark?

Should we have already figured out the reason for the revival of the Italian Job thread?

What was supposedly removed to make room for Italian Job: Stunt Track?

Terp...ole Eagle Eye.

^ Or maybe its erstwhile ORP booth?

-Tb, movin' right along...

Join the club, freaks76. I just move along.

Riddle me this, riddle me that...............

.........Who's afraid of the big black bat?

Riddle me this, riddle me that...............

That's in California, though it almost was Georgia, too. ???

Thank Goodness for Melinda. She saved Monster Plantation, too. Now, she's retired...

And I sit up nights and worry.

Even though I'm much more a fan of the two Northeast ones...

Don't forget the end of Vortex thread revival. Should we have figured that out yet? Should we have figured out why you keep saying "2O15 is a big year", (compact typewriter style)?

2O15 revealed itself shortly thereafter, with Six Flags throwing multiple ride buying for a loop.

Vortex? Stay tuned.

Same Bat time.

Same Bat channel.

And, sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar. Others, not so much.

I appreciate that you give us some resolution on all your wild hints and "diversions." You must know some serious people in the industry to know SIX plans and FUN plans well in advance.

Nah. I just get my name on tombstones. Fake ones when I help.

Maybe not so if I didn't!

Terp, who isn't gonna find out...he hopes!

I really just think you like confusing us. It really doesn't take much for me

Maybe I'm biased, but this thread has certainly given me the impression that we have a much more informed community here today than we did a decade ago!

Bring The Eagles Home, that they did.

This topic, no clue, but the pot, or Kegger is being stirred.

^I would say half the people here feel the same way.............Sooner or later we figure it out, too.

I'm just intrigued none are ready to jump out on any limbs, including myself. But for the sake of discussion, I will say I hope it's just something as simple as improved theming*. A "Bat Cave" under and around station would be awesome.

And I would pray it's not the trains, very short ride, the simple restraint check they have keeps it's capacity up.

Removal, I also pray, is not the point.

A diversion, this I find most likely, though that begs the question, why?

Maybe those attending the Holiday Meetup, will shed some light?

* Upon review, this is not really simple. But you get my meaning, I hope.

I have a theory about all of this:

Part 1: The Bat part of it is a diversion. The Bat just got updated for 2014; I'd be surprised to see something else (besides removal) happen to it anytime within the next few seasons. (Then again, I also thought Mantis getting floorless trains was highly improbable, so...)

Part 2: Vortex is either the main point of all of this, or it's another diversion. The mention of Thunder Road, The Bat, and everything old becoming new again would lead me to think that Vortex is going to receive a refurbishment or other project of some sort. Specifically based on the mention of Thunder Road, which recently received an entire rebuild courtesy Great Coasters International, I'm speculating that Vortex will either

2a. Be refurbished á la Phantom's Revenge to improve transitions or even completely rebuild the ride after the first drop, or

2b. Be removed completely and replaced by a Chance Rides coaster.

By the by, I know nothing, so don't take this as gospel. (Especially not you, Lance Hart, if you're reading this!) I think I'm almost certainly wrong about this; it's just fun to guess. I've literally never been correct when it comes to Terp's hints.

Maybe an Arrow theme here as well? If an old Adventure Express thread comes into play, it would complete the trio of revived threads.

<<< ponders a theory.

Am I missing something here? I've read and read, and I just must be missing the whole point.

Get use to it man. This seems to happen all the time nowadays. You aren't missing anything, because what we are supposed to find, or be diverted away from, isn't easy to spot. Unless it is. Who knows? Someone does, but it sure isn't me!

Just roll with it and enjoy the ride! It is more fun that way!

Arrows are becoming old and are aging badly, Maybe thats the point he is trying to make?

Well, that cleared that up . I'm with ya on the sure isn't me part.

Where's Adam West when you need him.

In Chicago. With the industry's original Batman.

Terp, who misses Robin at NJFTP nearly as much as he does Rolling Thunder. Or GASM. Sigh. As you get older, old friends move on, pass away or fade away. Such is life...

At least Night Row was easy to figure out. These new hints or whatever they are might as well be the secret to cold fusion.

Or Mach3.

Terp, living life on the Edge.

Well, that was.........depressing.

Sad, but true
