^Well said. Hearing about all the parks getting a new coaster for next year, I was getting really frustrated. But then again, it's not like GA's getting nothing for 2008. Besides, the new ride is probably going to be a huge hit with the public. At least Survivor was. Perhaps if they come up with a good theme for it, that would make the crowds (and me) happy. Besides, Top Spins are usually great crowd-pleasers anyway.

^Dang it! I agree. The general public are so naive. I haven't been on many roller coasters (my count is less than 30) but I have enough common sense to know that Vortex is a painful roller coaster! Same thing goes for Grizzly, I only ride that when I'm ultra bored and the other rides have long lines. With Vortex, I can' t even ride that anymore because it hurts my ears so much.

I want GA to get a coaster so bad. I think they should place Dominator in Vortex's place in my opinion. It would be such a better ride.

CRAP! Sorry, but why is Great America STILL not getting a roller coaster? Just about every Cedar Fair park is getting new coasters, but Great America is still suffering a coaster drought. If only GA could get Dominator, that would rock if it replaced that horrid death machine known as Vortex.

Elementary: Tigers Middle: Barnard White Broncos High: James Logan Colts I wish the next 3 years would go by really fast (I'm a sophmore now).

The thing I like about 5 is this: the Cobalt flavor is like a stronger version of Winterfresh, which was my favorite mint gum. Now my favorite is Cobalt 5 because the flavor lasts longer. I'm chewing a piece of it right now as I type this. My favorite "fruit" gum would have to be the original Hubba Bubba Max, which is green on the outside and red on the inside. When you chew it the color becomes brown but it still tastes great. Wow, I'm so used to English class that I'm in depthly discussing why I like a certain flavor of gum. I'm such a nerd. (Insert nerd Emoticon here)

I just tried the new 5. It's great!

Yes, this is still a sad occasion. Dan will be missed. Every time I read through old threads and I see his posts, I'm reminded that he won't post again. Still, I hope he is looking down on us from the big Maverick in the sky, where he gets eternal ERT.

^I don't think that would work as the overflow lot is about an eighth of a mile away from the park.

^NO! Don't take out Demon, that's one of the Marriott classics! That's like taking Matterhorn out of Disneyland. As for Grizzly: tear that crap down! What REALLY confuses me about the Paramount era is why they took down Tidal Wave (Greezed Lightnin') and Stealth, which were two excellent coasters, yet they left Grizzly here to rot (almost literally).

^Good point. The water park is a relief on hot days. But I really think they should have kept Stealth. And Tidal Wave (Greezed Lightnin'). And Triple Play. Seriously, why did they even take out Triple Play?

Okay, now I'm pissed. SFDK gets a new coaster for next season. When the hell is GA going to get one? Is Cedar Fair just going to let this park go to waste? I really hope they have something good planned for the future (can you say Intamin?).

^I agree with you. I'm so freaking mad that Great America has been neglected so much. Before the 2000's it used to be THE place to be. It was so awesome, and now it's becoming barren. Cedar Fair, PLEASE HELP US!

Since this is a coaster site, I can't believe anyone has posted this. The episode where they go to Florida for Miss Krabbappel's teacher of the year nomination. -The sign that said "Epcot: when everything else is booked." -Skinnner: "I'm afraid the only ride for me is the ride of broken dreams." Homer: "Oh you mean the Enron ride!" -Homer (to Marge while watching Illuminations): "How about we make some fireworks of our own?" He says it suggestively, then they start filling fireworks with gunpowder. Lol! -Homer (escapes to Magic Kingdom): "One churro please!" Vender: "That'll be 14 dollars." Homer: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Here." I love that episode. It's so funny!

^What the heck does that mean? Oh well, here's mine: tgolp;'gkuij8knm.

I can't decide what my favorite flat is. There are so many and I love them all. But I can say what the scariest is for me. Tonight, at the local carnival, I popped my Zipper cherry with my dad. While we were looking at the ride, we noticed that not a lot of people were flipping. So we get on, and the ride starts. Almost immediately we did four flips in a row! I was expecting to not flip that much, and I think we flipped about fifteen times! It doesn't look that intense, but when I was on it it was very scary! There was a sign at the entrance that said "This is a Super thrill ride designed for mature and experienced riders only." They were not lying.

Well, in that case, it may be a Screamin' Swing after all. But I'm pretty positive it's not going to be an A... (don't even need to say the whole word).

*shoots TheRapidsNerd*. That would be awesome if we could get a coaster from Intamin.

It does sound fun. I've only been on one Top Spin, at SFDK. But that was a while ago. I don't remember what they feel like.

Well, it's better than nothing. I just hope they don't remove any rides for it.

Can you say Screamin' Swing? That's what I'm guessing they're going to put. But they really should put a COASTER. They desperately need a new one. Either way, I'll be glad to see a new ride for 2008.

I've never been to SFMM, but I'm pretty sure it's just called X.

^How can anyone ride that death machine more than once?

Hmm, well, I guess they don't have to take out Vortex. But God, they need to put in new OTSR's. The ones on there right now are rock hard and hurt like heck because your head constantly bangs on them.

I think Angry Gumball is right. Great America has so much potential to become a great park. Referring to his drawing, I would be REALLY happy if the park got an Intamin Rocket Coaster. That would be the perfect spot to put it, as it would involve the removal of the Vortex roller coaster, which I hate. TAKE VORTEX OUT!
