  1. What is the history between CF and chance about?
  2. Since the announcement is scheduled for next weekend I'm thinking this might be a new major attraction. Or at least I could hope. They also seem to be teasing about a coaster on their Facebook page with responses to comments.
  3. I think it's a great idea and I hope it works out well. You guys run a great site with a lot of benefits for your members, and it's great to see you keep growing!
  4. parking add on for Six Flags New England was almost as much as the pass. 50 bucks for parking. That just seems ridiculous. Good new though, I got my fiance a pass at SFKK back in 2007 on a long roller coaster road trip, so with the renewal option where you don't have to activate it at the park I was able to get the renewal for only 35 dollars (45 with shipping, still cheaper than one day at SFNE). Thanks for the heads up on the deal.
  5. I'm not entirely sure, but I think me and my girlfriend are the two people on the right side of the SHOCK DROP. We were at the park from around 2 till around 4 or 5. I remember someone taking pictures of the tower while I rode, and those kinda look like my shoes. Good TR though! It's cool we were there at the same time at least.
  6. I thought the story was cleverly written, so good job. I never got the impression that you were complaining, and I found the hyperbole pretty funny. Does suck that you didn't get to ride though.
  7. another problem coney has to deal with is the subway system. It's way out at the end of the line, and although there are 4 lines none of them are express when they get deeper into brooklyn. Coming from the other side of brooklyn I have to take a train into manhattan and then transfer to get on a coney train and it ends up taking about 2:30. It was quicker for me to drive to coney when I lived in New Haven, CT than it is for me to take the train now that I live in the same burrough
  8. Why are you so worried about whose turn it is to post a question? Seems like if there were more questions going at a time the thread would move faster and you might get some really interesting questions instead of speed/make/hight like most of these are.
  9. I was looking around on youtube when I came across this interesting video It's Arrow Dynamics Marketing Director Jim Sheldon discussing the suspended coaster prototype. The clip is from 1979 and has video of a scale model suspended coaster doing a corkscrew. It also has footage (including pov) of a full sized model built without banked turns. It's an interesting video if only for Jim Sheldon's radical 'stash
  10. Although it does sound like a nice plan I think Mr. Zigun's concerns are dead on. If the area gets rezoned for residential use we could see the end of coney island in the next 50 years or so. I guess one could say that even without the rezoning we might only see coney island for about 50 years anyway, but I fear that if the area is rezoned we might see other amuesment operators closing down their rides in favor of apartments and condos. Aside from that I think the indoor water park and hotel is a really good idea. And plus new rollercoaster, can't go wrong. However, the wording in the article seems incorrect. There were many rollercoasters built after the cyclone. Flying turns came in 34 and then another opened in 41, the jumbo jet was in 72, and then there are all those kiddie coasters but I could see not counting them. But obviously none of these rides are around anymore, so maybe they were trying to say currently operating coasters. Either way I'd like to see something good happen to coney island. I live on the other side of brooklyn and only make it down there about once a year.
  11. I'll guess lethal weapon at movie world, but I've never been there so I don't know if it's overhyped or not. Seems to be one of the better parks in Australlia based on what I've read. (
