Everyone on LeviaTHON should have an amazing time at the park this year! The water park is also a great to be at that point in the summer either right at opening or near closing.

Ya that first turn was quite the experience in the warmer weather. Also, I found that small airtime hill right after that turn to produce some even crazier air than normal.

It REALLY hurts to know we were SO CLOSE to having a B&M invert instead...

Well, obviously if they just got a memo from B&M saying they would not build them a ride, they could not have been "SO CLOSE" to signing a deal..

So I'm going to Wonderland some time next week (during the week), what will I expect with wait times?

High School is sill in, so if it's a week day you should be okay.

I will be there on Monday the 11th.

They had the plans ready to go. All they had to do was sign the paperwork. Norm said he personally received a call from Walter Bolliger stating that their plans had to be scrapped due to the CP clause. At this point, Dick Kinzel was called and asked if an exception could be made. He refused. So the plan of a B&M was tossed out and a Vekoma SLC was put in its place.

On top of that, we were only within 2 miles of the cut-off point. I would say it's SO CLOSE...

[beatle11I prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

^That really sucks. The SLC is pretty much un-rideable right now, but with some work, and the new trains, I'm sure it would make a big difference

[asimowalkIndiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Donkey.]

Since the park seems really open about their history, any thoughts from them about the Footloose floorless B&M rumour?

I'm not saying that you're wrong or anything, you should just not believe everything you are told. B&M would not work with you for months to develop a custom made layout for you're specific space and requirements, and all of a sudden just sign such a deal as they did with Cedar Point. That would be very bad publicity for the company, and just a dickish move, taking time and money away from Wonderland. I do believe that the park was looking into getting a B&M invert, just not that they were as close and long gotten as they claim.
