^ I would say that will never happen. But then again ... I never thought the Henningers would sell out. I need to just stop thinking about this because it is pissing me off.

This makes me feel a little better, but only a little.

Link to official Press Release http://www.kennywood.com/docs/12.11.07KECNewChapterRelease.pdf I think I am going to go cry now.

I will concur with the dehydration claim. It is the cause of almost all cases of motion sickness on rides.

^^ Amen and Hallelujah. I was so sad when Big Thunder got them. I know ... pathetic isn't it.

What the fruck is a "Carasuel" Glad to see that Holiday World will finally add a carousel to their collection of rides. It is something that every "traditional" park must have. Now, the important question ... wood carved horses?

Yes, it's a "feature".

2007 Element. Gotta have something to haul the band gear in. 2008 HD Road King FLHR Bond's Aston Martin (Passenger Ejector Seat? You must be joking?) Ford GT How big is the garage again?

More dark-ride goodness from the people who brought us Terror-Visions in 3D and Garfield's Nightmare. I can't wait

$1 Increase! Run for the hills! In other news, Disney has raised one-day admissions by $25 in the last seven years. // Must be a slow news day

^ And when you take Anaconda and Raging Wolf Bobs as examples, I would consider the PTC Articulated train a miserable failure.

^ Now you will have to just envy our Guns!

.. But I have seen what machines you DO have! I am all for it! // B, 3L, 10R, 19L, 1R

BROWNNOSERS! ... ALL OF YOU! // I love the Alveys too.

Muchos Gracias for the log flume props.

I actually dig the "Captain's Chair" feel of Florida's Space Mountain and am looking forward to the next generation Matterhorn car.

Holiday World has already implemented a low-tech version of this: http://www.holidayworld.com/info.html Also ... there is this technology at Dollywood http://www.pdcorp.com/company/archives/2007/dollywood-splash-country.html

Day 3 - Park 2 Cypress Gardens The second park of the day has us driving off of I-4 and to the small town of Winter Haven where we would encounter the awesomeness that is ... Cypress Gardens. Truth be told, I have actually been to this park before but that was many years ago (27 to be exact). But, that is a different story for a different day. The main reason for most people's visit was the newly relocated Starliner (all the way from Panama City, FL). This out-and-back coaster has a very similar feeling to Swamp Fox in South Carolina. The ride gives some nice little air over the first couple of hills but it all but disappears after the turnaround. DynaBrake - Another fine product of Pittsburgh, PA. The Triple Hurricane is now probably my favorite of all Jr. Woodies I have been on. It runs every bit as smooth as the Waldameer Comet but does a lot more. Extra points for the rib-cracking laterals on the final turn. Piers, Catrina and Eric all pose for a picture on the Galaxy Spin while Matt just sits there and picks his nose. Here is a wonderful picture of Catrina demonstrating the effectiveness of Vekoma's Junior SLC restraints. Justin talked us into a ride on the park's ARM Drop Tower. Of all the drop rides, these have got to be the scariest. The lift takes you up slowly before dropping you without any warning at all. By the time you realize that you are free falling, you slam to a stop at the bottom during what sounds like a multi-car pile-up. Larry and the Brothers Johnson (wow that sounds like a cool band name) are ready to go on our last ride of the day ... Mega Bounce! Chuck waves while Colin looks not so thrilled. "I think I just dislocated my spleen" And there you have it .. a visit to the wonderful world of Cypress Gardens. More photos soon ...

If they get zoning for residential properties, you can kiss the rest of this concept goodbye.

Have they already done this in Florida. I am not 100% sure, but it seems like the boats changed to some "Play-Skol" looking mold injected versions within the last year or so.

As long as they give out free beer, they can call themselves anything they want.

$2.19 and still falling

It was good seeing you again too, Eric! We had a great time and it was nice to finally meet Kevin. That moment in Dead Silence was legendary.

Better but not great. I am really not a big fan of the whole "Flash Intro" concept. Like splash pages, they just provide another hoop that the customer has to go through for the real content. The site does do a good job of catering to it's core audience, the customer. I imagine that is the primary goal overall. // Would people actually adopt the W3C standards already! Table layout is so 1995.

Invest in Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and Kawasaki. If gas keeps going up, I am going to have to start riding my bike to work.
