Renegade at Valleyfair. Tuesday, October 30, 2007. around 9:00pm.

Hopefully BLMR comes to CP next year as I liked Cobra at SFDK and this is an exact clone. Plus, I might be heading out to CP nexy summer to get my Maverick and Iron Dragon credit, so hopefully, I can get a third credit also. NICK"Credit Whore"SMITH

I don't know what the yellow barrel is, but the Eruo-Fighter that is going into that spot is Spongebob Squarepant's Rock Bottom Adventure. BTW, does anyone (looty) know if the Half Pipe will go slightly under the ground so they can have the full 100ft. model? That foundation looks pretty deep.

There is a huge footer of to the upper left of the photo, could that be the place of the lift/drop. [/img] Upper left, next to the support. Could this be the place of the lift/drop?

You guys looked like you are having an awesome time, and this was only the first day. I know how wearing a 15 hour day can be, but you pulled through.

^Oh, I just figured it was 21 million as it was stated there as $21 million and Dick Kinzel has only said $21 million.

Behemoth is $26 million in Canadian, $21 million in USD. I heard Firehawk at Kings Island cost only $750,000, so Dominator will probably be only $1-1.3 million, and Thunderhawk maybe $600,000.

No, I think they are taking the origanal prices of the rides. The only "new and expensive" rides are Behemoth, Pony Express, and the wavepool for Carowinds.

That looks right, hopefully it is as smooth as I hear the Vekomas are.

No, I was really happy and saying that Valleyfair has a great ride on their hands and don't need to add a new ride to attract me.

^^B&M invert in '09, just remember that. Besides, Renegade will hold me for another year.

The two Vekoma Boosterbikes hold 16 people per train and the press release said there were 12 people per train. Could it be Intamin's new boosterbike style coaster? How many seats would that hold.

So is the Pony Express a Maverick type ride or a boosterbike. It has trains like Maverick and low to the ground elements like Maverick, but only 2 trains. I hate Knott's website with new rides, they are never on the homepage and it is impossible to find an info about them.

Looks like SF is having a garage sale. 2 Super Boomerangs are avilable along with freefall and Flashback. So Deja Vu from MM may not be leaving. http://www.irmpri.com/product.htm

Cedar Point

Batman:The Dark Knight B&M Floorless coaster is changing it's name to Batman: The Ride, like the inverts.

Webcams are up: you can view them here: http://info.theparkatmoa.com/Hours/nickelodeonuniverse.htm They are both ariel and provided pretty clear shots. Enjoy.

I was stuck on the top of Top Thrill Dragster in 2005. The video on YouTube is pretty popular. Ok, just kidding. But I have been stuck on Steel Venom when the emergancy breaks kicked in.

I am hoping I can get out to MM sometime next year. I have been to the LA area 2-3 times within the millennium and never gotton a chance to visit Velencia. I will try my best to get out here next year. Back on topic, the new colors, trains, and effects sound really cool on X and hopefully an improvement. BTW, How come so many annoucements come on Thursdays? Maverick Renegade X2 All of CF's usually Six Flag's 2008 plans Hershey Park

That looks like one h*** of a coaster. I need to get out to Texas sometime. I'm sure I've got relatives down there.

That shirt is awesome. Very well done Trip Report. I liked how you showed three shots of the ride going through the elements.

At least Intamin actually built the woodie and didn't just take any old random woodie, but they should have used an El Toro or Balder video.
