The Zipper is one of the only flats that still makes me really nervous. It's seriously intimidating to me just watching it in action. I haven't ridden one in years but would love to again. Such a beautiful contraption. I imagine a bulkier park model with open cars, OTSR's like a Chaos, and lowering horizontal boom for multi upload/unload for higher capacity.

Libertyland's Fabbri tower...Rebellion moved to Ghost Town in the Sky.

The site looks great!

One of my all time favorite parks is Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Here is a look back...
In 1978 something has surfaced at The Old Country
Nessie artwork!
1981
Parking is 2 bucks.
Shows!

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what's coming up next...

LR looks like it never lets up! It almost reminds me of a steel GCI.
I really thought the same thing as well but hopefully with more intensity and airtime.

New "Birthday" themed area? Hmmm.

Surely they could just use bamboo instead of wood.

You're welcome, Bill. BGT has changed a lot over the years but still for the better I think. When I went in '12 I hadn't been there since the mid-80's and really didn't remember a whole lot about it, but it's definitely a park I look forward to visiting again in the future. All the park is really missing is a great woodie!

Loving these China updates...I owe you a drink or 3 for these amazing reports. Looking forward to much more.

Really glad to see the dry side come back to life. Thanks Dan and Pat. Can't wait to get back on Rampage again!

This final (for now) look at BGT wraps up with a focus on Cheetah Hunt in 2011 and 2012. I find Cheetah Hunt to be pretty good and fun overall, and I really like the sculptural tower mass of track!
2011...I have 2 extra of these brochures if anyone wants them - send me a PM!
2012...mmm Intamin track
Surprise bonus for the water park fans...Adventure Island in 1981

Went to Coachella Music and Arts festival this past weekend! My 3rd year going and it was as always and absolute BLAST!
Out of the many acts on the lineup, I saw MS MR, Duke Dumont, Bonobo, Chromeo, Martin Garrix, Outkast, Dillon Francis, Fatboy Slim, Empire of the Sun, Banks, Chvrches, Lorde, Pharrell Williams, Nas, Muse, The 1975, Alesso, Adventure Club, Little Dragon, Lana Del Rey, Disclosure, Beck, and Arcade Fire.
Quite a busy fun-filled weekend. Until next time
I watched the live stream on the net and was most blown away by Temples. Did you see them?

Continuing right along to 2005 and 2007 at Busch Gardens Tampa...
Kumba!
Montu is probably my favorite inverted coaster ever!
More Montu!
This gigantic white tiger is ready for its splash boat meal.
Sheikra is awesome!
Hard to believe Sheikra will turn 10 next year!
2007...weeeeeeeeeeeee

Thanks for keeping us all updated, Larry.

I like your Converse and nice shout out to Gaudi. Hope to see and visit these Spanish places of muy importante one day!

^Six Flags Magic Mountain doesn't need anymore coasters, they have enough coaster there to open a second Six Flags park next door to Magic Mountain!
I said the same thing 2 or 3 coasters ago. Such a drag what this park has become.
-
Phenomenal pics Hanno! Helix looks awesome. The Swedes appear to have a winner on their hands. Thank you as always for sharing your amazing photos! I have said it before, but the TPR day I spent at Liseberg in 2009 is still my all time fav park visit day, and I can't wait to get back there.
-
Really awesome adventure pics at HP and PA! I hope I can get to PA one day. Thank you for sharing, Marcel!

Busch Gardens Tampa in 1974...

This picture reminds me a lot of leviathan's first hill. So glad to have such an amazing coaster about 15 minutes from home!
Sorry for double post.
Looks really good and hope LR rides as such! I plan to get to KK soon to check it out! I'm glad KK is coming back.

So nice to see KD adding back some charm. Thanks for all the pics and update Chuck!

Wow Bill you're right I think! I didn't realize Reaper had been around since 2005. AND now just saw on RCDB that it is listed as operating until January 5 of this year(?). What have they done to it? Is it being removed???
