Sorry to be the party pooper but,
Patriot is probably the most boring coaster I have ever been on. It does nothing but look good and sell lots of merch and for all the arguments of it bringing in lots of people, I remember management saying Thunderhawk was a huge crowd pleaser and brought in numbers the park hadt seen in years.
On to the topic of the new ride, its a GCI no questions asked and I cant wait to ride it.

How is Great America on the 8th?

Actually, it would add a lot more to the ride if the wheel did lock up and turn you upside-down and then pull and X-Coaster style maneuver to pull you out of it.
It seems like a good ride but feels like it is missing something crutial, and I think it would be better with inversions

Six FLags Kingdom------in Kentucky lol
In all sense though I would be asking for something like this two if it happened to me and theres nothing wrong with better and safer rides
-
I know that the Castles and Coasters one in Phoenix does. Its uudually the longest wait in the park. Im assuming thats becasue of the lights and music
-
Wow, I would have never guessed that S.O has so many problems. When I went this summer, I loved it and it was probably my faorite ride at the park. It does "hurt" if you dont brace correctly but when we went it was smooth fun and water jets were on. I got soaked!
What should be taken out though is the inverter. Its in a prime spot for a compact and right near the front gate.

Yours was shipped tonight! Shouldnt' take more than 3 or 4 days.
Sweet. Thanks

1. What do you find most useful about the front page?

2. What do you find least useful about the front page?
-Anouncements b/c its easier to just go into the forum and look at the topic in deail
3. Is anything on the front page confusing?
-I sometimes get confused b/c the pictures are close together but i think it could be solved by adding a thicker line in between topics
4. How far do you scroll down the front page looking for updates?
-only 2 or 3 topics
5. How often do you look at the front page?
5-6 times a week
6. How often do you click on the "whatsnew" link?

7. What would you like to see added to the front page to make your visits to TPR better?

8. Anything else you would like to mention? Like any thing else you would like to see us add/change/leave alone/etc?
Keep the 2 columns that are currently in place. Before them I was always confused

I personally hate Huss Rides all together and I think that the giant frisbee (only one ive been on) is a joke. You can get muck better ride experiences on Moser rides which are available in the same models.
btw ii thinkt the giant top spin never caght on becasue it doesnt offer a whole lot more capacity from the stardard and they are harder for parks to theme/place
-
Fun Plex, Omaha
Add some new additions to the water park and buy that unused piece of land next to Kohls for some new assitions
-
The park looks great but the only thing im doubtful on is the new cafeteria. This is Minnesota people! land of the lumberjacks and panckakes (no offense) I dont thing people are going to want a Tukey Chpotle Flatbread no matter how ''healthy'' it may be.
They should have stuck with the fast food becasue thats what americans know and love. The rides look great though and i can't wait to ride them

Linkin Park at the Qwest Center, Omaha, Nebraska (same place the AI auditions were)

Who cares about the part in a stupid batman re-make, someone died!
-
Seriously....2 new coastes........and a drop tower ride in one season! This place could rival VF. I hope it causes competition b/c if they could fit these two in im sure they can fit many more for seasons to come. Hey who knows maybe the ferris wheel could someday become part of that funky ferris wheel lift system by premier.
-
This thing owns all the other motocoasters out there. Glad Darien Lake is getting this. I Think with a new color scheme and station/inimal theming, this will be a really great family ride.
TPR New England Trip???

We got a toshiba hd dvd unit when they were ''hot'' for about $499 and i think the picture quality is the same for both, but the hd-dvd has cooler features and menu options + the fact that toshiba has great costomer service and makes great products
-
It says...'now vacant Pyramid Dome'......what happened and what used to be there?
Looks really cool, but the only down side of coursed is that its indoor, which means not a whole lot of expansion room. idk though, look what MoA is doing
Should be pretty cool though and it will most likely be good for Memphis. From the pictures it looks like its connected to public transportation so that should be a big plus.
Hope it gets built!
-
I have this credit. Got it the year before it closed. It was my first big coaster
-
Yah, im still gonna wonder what its like to walk over the places that the people died. Theres so much debate here of why he would do it in a ''nice'' store lin VM and not in a place like JC Penneys. The way I look at it, i dont think it matters where it happened, just what happened.

CNN) -- A 19-year-old gunman who killed eight people and then himself Wednesday at the Westroads Mall in Omaha, Nebraska, left a suicide note, police said.Police have identified the gunman as Robert A. Hawkins, 19, of Nebraska.
1 of 4 more photos » Five other people were injured, and two of them were in critical condition, hospital officials said.
Chief Thomas Warren of the Omaha Police Department called the shooting "premeditated," but said it "appears to be very random and without provocation."
Surveillance cameras may have captured the shooting, Warren said.
"We'll be here throughout the night; it's a very extensive crime scene," he said.
Police identified the gunman as Robert A. Hawkins of Nebraska.
They have recovered an SKS assault rifle and the suspect's vehicle.
Debora Maruca Kovac, Hawkins' landlord who found the suicide note, said he wrote he was sorry for everything and did not want to be a burden to anyone any longer. Watch landlord describe phone call from shooter »
Hawkins said in the note he loved his friends and family, but "he was a piece of s--- all his life, and now he'll be famous," she told CNN.
She said Hawkins was a friend of her sons and "reminded me of a lost puppy that nobody wanted."
He came to live with her about a year and a half ago, telling her he could not stay with his own family because of "some issues with his stepmother and him."
She described Hawkins as well-behaved, although "he had a lot of emotional problems, obviously."
The shootings began about 1:42 p.m. Seven people were found dead at the scene by officers arriving six minutes later; two others, a male and a female, died after being transported to Creighton University Medical Center, said Fire Chief Robert Dahlquist.
A Creighton spokeswoman said a second female was undergoing surgery and was in critical condition Wednesday afternoon.
Three other people were taken to the University of Nebraska Medical Center. One, a 61-year-old man who sustained a chest wound after being shot in the armpit, underwent surgery and remained in critical condition in the intensive care unit Wednesday night, said hospital spokeswoman Maggie O'Brien.

The other two -- a 34-year-old man who was shot in the arm, and a 55-year-old man who fell and struck a clothing rack as he was trying to escape -- were treated and released, she said.
Maruca Kovac told CNN that Hawkins left home Wednesday about 11 a.m., and called the house about two hours later, sounding upset.
"He just said he wanted to thank me for everything I'd done for him ... and he was sorry," Maruca Kovac said. He told her he had gotten fired from his job, she said.
"I said, 'Come home and we'll talk about it,' " she said. "He said, 'It's too late.' He said he'd left a note explaining everything."
Witness Jennifer Kramer told CNN she heard at least 25 shots. Watch witnesses describe the ordeal »
"He just kept firing," she said. She said she called 911 on her cell phone, whispering into it out of fear of being heard. A dispatcher told her other calls had been received and help was on the way, but she said it seemed to take "a long time" for them to arrive.
"It was just so loud, and then it was silence," she said. "I was scared to death he'd be walking around looking for someone else."
She said as she was being escorted out by police, she saw a man lying injured by the escalator where she had been previously.
"All of us were slightly confused because we didn't know what it was," said mall employee Charissa Tatoon about the first burst of gunfire.
"Immediately after that, there was a series of maybe 20 to 25 more shots up on the third floor.
"I was in the women's shoe department and there was a gentleman coming down the escalator that was very near the shoe department, and he was heard saying that he was calling 911, and immediately after that, the shooter shot down from the third floor and shot him on the second floor."
Warren, the police chief, said the victims included five females and three males, not including Hawkins. "We believe there was one shooter, and one shooter only," he said.
Maruca Kovac said she was unaware Hawkins had any guns, although she said he knew a lot about them, as did his stepfather. "When he first came to live with us, he was in the fetal position and chewed his fingernails all the time," she said.
But she said she thought he was improving, as he had gotten a job, a haircut and a girlfriend. However, she said Hawkins and his girlfriend had broken up in the last couple of weeks, and he had taken it hard.
She said late Wednesday that authorities were searching her house for evidence.
"My kids are devastated," she said. "We're all in shock."
Hawkins' former school district released a photo of a youth with glasses and long black hair. A spokeswoman said he attended Papillon-La Vista High School until he withdrew in March 2006.
Witnesses described chaos and frantic shoppers running away from the Von Maur store, where the shooting began just before 2 p.m.
"You're in such shock, it's hard to think. I was hoping God would spare us," said a woman who was clutching a rosary in her trembling hand after the shootings. "We had to put up our hands and follow the police to the outside."
Living in Nebraska, I can say this has really affected the people here. One of the victims lives only a few blocks away from me. Everyone should give their support to the familys, and everyone affected by he worst shooting in nebraska in more than 50 years.

Twister II took it over and really cleaned the place up (no offense CD5) We does pretty usual updates so look for it on the front page of the games.

this was a well written tr. Its probably the only tr ive read all the way through. This park is so cool, and i think the nick transformation will really make this place a destination to go to wrather than to just fill some space at MoA.
Great TR!
