I'm democrat and the last few years have been hell for this country... just a little longer to go...

It really is an awesome looking coaster. Too bad for me it's way across the pond. I'll be there whenever you guys do a TPR Germany trip for sure.

An inverted alpine slide? I must see this.

EXcellent news, I would have definately missed new S&S products in the future. I hope all goes well with the changes in place.

Awesome photos, do you have nay more? Did they have the HIgh Energy star shape ride there, and if so, what did you think of it?

I would say yes but some will disagree. It's always a matter of opinion bro, but it's not powered and is coasterish in all other aspects.

No, I've agreed with most others that we will sit patiently, let them announce the ride when they're ready and enjoy watching every element installed as a surprise.

I agree with Wes. Sheikra's drop is insane enough, and with floorless trains the anticipation will be phenomonal. Sheikra's actually in my top ten of steel coasters so this excited me a little...

When my family travels together my mom always has people kicked out when they cut the line. She don't take crap from anyone. I thought one time she was going to get herself into a fight in Nitro's queue the year it opened when a group of 15 people cut the line and NO one else said anything about it.

I'm alm 100% positive Newark is the closest (any only airport you can fly into) and it is approximately a little more than an hour to SFNJ. Hope this helps, enjoy El Toro!

^^ I LOVE my Catapult (formerly Swat) at SFNE but the public seems to find it unfcomfortable mostly because of the restraints that keep locking down! Definately a weird feeling.

It seems every year parks put their stuff out early Wal Mart style. Lake Compounce had a whole bunch of Halloween crap out already when I visited yesterday.

Off topic... but LMAO at the FISHCHAIR.

I'll get some new ones tonight, I'm going to finish off the JP area which means I'll be adding the B&M flying coaster PTEROSAUR and the Discovery Center. Dueling Dragons is a very frustrating project and I'm taking a break from it for a while. It's important I don't rush any of the rides.

^ I would imagine before xmas the way they've been moving. Not that it matters since it's opening next spring.

I don't think there's been any bad woodies built recently, so rest assured you will get a nice coaster for '07.

I can't believe the dissapoinment I'm seeing!

Is funcoast really debating whether or not the newly installed corkscrew is in fact a corkscrew? I've yet to go through an Intamin corkscrew, made me realize there isn't one anywhere in the states.

Did you really expect it to drop? The existing topple towers do the same thing. Marineland has one of the best drop rides already-about a 5 days trek from the topple tower.

It's not being removed... like Screamscape said it's most likely down for a tech problem.

That's cool you got your parents on some intense rides. I talked my mom into going on LC's Thunder & Lightning (screamin' swing) and she loved it.

If you're talking about the NL one on pointbuzz, it's total crap. No surprise there. The track already in place doesn't make sense with the layout someone made there. Besides, it's more fun watching it come up and not knowing what to expect.

^ California Screamin' uses LSMs, but you are right. According to RCDB, AA uses linear induction.

Oooo, nice enviornment!

I kind of like the idea of having the ride winding above on the hilltop to the right of the path. All of the buildings will be on the other side and the scenery on the right, makes it seem like guests are actually in JP and not in an area cluttered with buildings.
