I was thinking the same thing about SFNE's Cyclone, if that thing was retracked with Intamin prefab and the original drop, it would be 100% improved.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, it's one of my favs.

Absolutely awesome! I've never been this excited over a wooden coaster, once again you surprise us SFGADV!

Yup, lift hill, clockwise drop, vert loop, zero g roll, diving loop into trench, flatspin 1 in trench, 180 over first drop, flat spin 2, 180, helix, station fly-thru then brakes is what it looks like. Can't wait to see the finished theming.

Thanks for another amusing update.

I love the sky colors, but at the same time I don't likethe maroon bunny-hop support color, it throws it way off. Wonder what the trains will look like... better yet I wonder what crazy name it will be.

Looks great! Keep up the nice work.

Overview of Neptune's Landing

The entry plaza (flooding of Atlantis)

Here is the entrance to my 'Neptune's Landing' park, you have to go through an underwater tunnel to get to the ruined temple entrance.

Tatsu, Japanese for "dragon" the slogan for the ride is: "Fly at the speed of fear" The original name is a breath of fresh air, now if only we could see the layout...

Well said Musical Pete. I for one am still waiting to hear on progress towards building a new theme park in CT in Norwalk was it (?) , it's fun to see how these concepts take shape (if they do at all) A perfect example is Clifton Hill Niagara Falls. You'll notice over the years they are trying to move away from the Orlando tourist trap look to the slightly shinier Vegas look with a new theme park and other redevelopments. Only time will tell.

Twice the fun with half the hype. Go Huss!

I can't think of a better addition to SFNJ than one of these Intamin prefab wooden coasters. Ever since I saw Balder go up I had to ride one of these, and this one is already being described as monstrous, I'm glad to hear it's going to be a "record breaker", I wonder what records they are? Can't wait till '06, between this and Everest I'm amped for next year. \

I'll be at HHN on the 16th, if anyone with Express wants to meet up.

I really enjoyed Talon at Dorney Park, The Patriot, which is very similar will look great in that particular area of the park, love the red white and blue theming, despite the fact many people thinking the stripe looks tacky.

Great to see the US is getting a Sky Wheel. I wonder what the color scheme will look like.

Great photos, I too am hoping for something nice for SFNE next year. I wouldn't mind having SWAT, or a good-sized coaster. Eventually the park is going to add a big coaster, I just wonder where the hell they'll put it. Sean :just build it over everything: Costa

B&M Dive Machine, now that a flyer is hitting the west coast, mind as well get the rest of B&M's catlaog over there. Either that or an Intamin mega like Expedition Ge Force, just something they can call a signature ride, and something different for the area.

I actually liked GADV's Viper, I have a video of it I can post. I like dit alot when i was younger at least, it was rough, but unique, and I appreciated it for what it was... Anyways, coasters I have to ride before I expire... Cali Screamin' Superman Krypton Coaster Expedition GeForce Goliath (Holland) Superman Escape X Medusa (SFMW) Atlantis Adventure (Korea)

The effect is the last indoor part of the ride. A car is smashed into a wall right in front of you, and then your car is lined up to be next. Just as you approach the wall, almost reaching the rides full speed, the doors open and you go into the first outdoor turnaround where the ride maxes out. That scene was the climax of the ride, I hope it's restored next month when I visit.

I'm going Oct 11th, great to hear the major rides will be open. My girlfriend has never been on TOT, Pirates, or Thunder Mt. Here's to a great trip.

This is the coaster Disney's been needing for a while. That drop looks great, and the theming should be excellent. I love the way that fake track is all broken and twisted in the reverser section.

Looks like ebay only has one cali screamin' and it's missing the cars... I'm having a hard time finding any of the DCA rides, i know they're retired but I figured someone out there would be selling them.
