Did the park release a teaser or is this one of your videos where you're doing the teasing? -

The only ride that doesn't have bins is Fury, I wear my glasses on everything and I have no straps. -
Fast Forward to 325 and you know what that means! On the outside I feel great but internally my foot is still healing but I gotta ride some coasters. . . What has the park become?!?!? Well shat! This year (last) the park did quite a bit cosmetic changes and brought to life a new County Fair set in the 1950's. Let's look at some of the changes to the park. The park opened last year (2015) with a new entry way and no metal detectors. Well that didn't last long. They also removed the planter and made it more open and "inviting" Oh, Hi! Still a great ride! In continuing to open up the area and removed Panda Express . . . Don't worry, they just moved it to a larger area. Still (or was???) the best flat in the park to me . . . A lot is changing . . . hummm. I see you Top Gun! I guess a show goes on there? Wait what?!?!? Lets hope they this structure So many markers and things! Back to you in a little while. Burying all the mistakes of the previous park owners? The new County Fair Is it . . . is it . . . Foreshadowing??? I've never been on one and I won't be today either. Such a classic feel back here. Even down to the crispy yet sooo soft corn dogs! The new theme fits very well. Been a while since i've been on one of these. Well that's all folks!

They also have one with White Lightning on it lol . . . -
October 10th 2016 Lets try SFMM again. The last time I was here I had the scare of my life as my phone flew off Green Lantern and I lost the rental car keys so lets hope for the best lol. May the odds be in my favor lol. I missed out on a lot of credits last time but i'm gonna make up for it this time around! Such a classic . . . Lets see if it's the best! It was more intense than say, Manta, but I like the area around Manta more. These are rare and I was fortunate enough to be able to ride this one. Sucks this is closed but if it rides like my last right, I think I may say it was divine intervention lol. Needless to say it wasn't a crowded day. Somehow I miss this entirely last time I was here. Not gonna make the same mistake! Yep, it's an empty day. I may be in the minority but I really like Riddler . . . Still have two sides dropping on such a dead day! This sign applies to anyone who rides that thing to the left. UGH! Who doesn't love a batman clone? The best ride in the park with no line? SIgn me up!!! Overall had a MUCH better day than I did the previous year I was here (there). <> Aside from theme parks Vegas is my second most favorite place to be! It has so much going on and it never seems to end. This was my second time going and I was determine to get the coasters at Adventure dome. Greetings from the Venetian! It's my birthday so what better way to enjoy than riding coasters! But first, drinks! Ok, lets head to the adventure dome . . . I'm amazed at how such a full size coaster fits in without looking cramped. It's your typical Arrow loop/screw but just in air condition lol and no line! Now onto the el loco . . . It was def an intense ride. One ride was enough (or it could have been the booze lol) So long Canyon Blaster . . . That night, for my birthday dinner, I decided on Giada. I really enjoyed it but it isn't a place i'd run back to . . . And complimentary breakfast at the Cromwell (were Giada is) was just what I needed after a night of drinking! Well, that's all the coasters trip for me for 2016 as I am about to have my right foot reconstructed! Wish me luck (well belated luck)

Was at the park friday for a Carolina Harbor day and snapped some shots. It does look like that layout matches with what we have seen (especially the footings by the bathhouse. More teasers have been added to the wall. I guess we can rule out those names . . . -

That was a good video man. Straight to the point and not much "downtime" throughout the video. One thing you may not notice is you say "umm" a lot. Sometimes when talking you actually have to listen to yourself at the same time and be aware of what you're saying. But yes, much better and I didn't realize the video was over as it didn't feel like I was watching the clock but just gathering all the information. -

Ok you can Calmdown and take it down a notch. If you read correctly I did click the "play button" and after 4 minutes of hyping up and going back and forth about "should I spoil it or should I not" I gave up. It's not about the length. I joyfully sat through a long video the other day that captivated my attention and it was the same concept. I'm on a DISCUSSION thread to discuss things. Are you serious lol . . . he is NOT even a reason i'm viewing the CW thread. Don't think so highly of that. I enjoy the content that pretty much all contribute. If I was coming solely for what he post then I would just go to youtube as he only post links to it here. You're right WE do need to chill out. I'm giving my opinion. I cannot apologize if you don't care for it. And I will not go back and forth with you (or anyone) as that is not what the site is design for. I welcome constructive, healthy discussion but yeah . . . not gonna do it. -

Gave it 4 minutes . . . I'm sorry but I guess I like to get straight to the point. I fully understand these videos aren't being made solely for me but . . . Wake me when some solid info comes out and not the "I wanna spoil it but I don't wanna spoil it" back and forth. -

Why post easily viewed pictures when you can direct them to a monetized YouTube channel? My thing is entice me to want to go to your monetized YouTube channel. Give me a reason to click the link. A picture or two can't hurt, right? -

An update on the project alpha site. Drill on site. Looks like they maybe getting ready to work on the top hat footings as they may be the deepest and carrying the most brut. -

I think it would be worth it. Having been myself I saw that while small, it does have a good collection of rides for the kids. Do they water play at all? -

It's a staging/storage area that doesn't wholistically affect the atmosphere of the ride at all. -

Yeah, the whole bit about not being able to get a hyper because Carowinds and SFoG has one seemed a little far fetched to me. Based on that logic, shouldn't Carowinds not have been able to get Intimidator if there was some clause? -

Hey Jamor, below is a photo I had captured on May 23rd of some of the construction taking place where SkyRider had once operated. A few more photos of construction from previous visits can be found on my blog. I hope this helps. Photo credit: John Brooks via Amusement Views YES, it does help! I had to look twice as I thought I was seeing double lol. It's nice to have all facets of coverage of parks, video and photo. Thank you all who provide this to folks like me who probably won't be going to the park in a very long time lol. -

Is anyone taking photos of the progress/construction? Videos are cool but I can't find the time to sit through a video over 5 minutes these days . . .
