When I first seen this, I immediately thought of....

Lets head back to the 80's....I scanned in a few pictures for Facebook. I am in the bottom left corner.

Days like today....I wish work had a fireplace or wood burner int he room I work in....same goes for home...17 degrees outside. Just hope my gas in my car doesn't freeze, down to 1/4 tank and no money.

I had an interesting one. Somehow I managed to talk to people at Kings Island about Diamond Back. Trackwork was done and they were trying to get the ride tested, but no one wanted to ride. They somehow asked me if I wanted too, I said yes, but when? They said 30 days, they couldn't find anyone wanting to ride in cold weather. Also, Diamond Back was a flyer. Talk about a nice dream (test riding part, not riding in cold weather). They say if you tell your dream before you eat, your dream might come true. Maybe I should tell everyone when I dream of winning the lottery.

CLP could, but the debt is a big issue. Being 2.4 to 3.0 million in debt is not helping either. It is in the same situation as Cypress Gardens, a smaller park with a major park near it (Hershey Park to CLP). CLP ride package isn't much to boost, but has unique ones you don't see that much. ^ If anyone is dumb enough to reopen a theme park in New Orleans, in which the one that didn't make a profit to begin with, more power to them, but I wouldn't invest in a theme park in New Orleans if I had the money.

From what I read on RRC, still working on trains. They are getting closer though. From Coastin Steve on RRC. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.roller-coaster/browse_thread/thread/33cfcc4da9e9a2c7?hl=en#

Nice trip report. If the car challenge is hp rated...evo or STI winds hands down. AWD>RWD.

I respectfully disagree.

Speaking of rolling, the tide is rolling over Auburn.

I am thankful to have a home to be in after the June floods. I had Thanksgiving dinner at Church on Sunday, had one today at home, will have some more in about an hour or so here at work. Have leftovers tomorrow. And possibly Saturday. I am tempted ot head down to the local motorcycle dealer tomorrow and try to be one of the first 200 in at the store and get a 5 dollar cash card (not much, but will make a pair of riding gloves cheaper).

I am eating turkey and all tonight at work around 7 if I am not still full. Been watching the Cowboys game on the 73" big screen on set. Watched the titans destory the Lions already. Taking leftovers for work tomorrow night. And possible leftovers for Saturday.

I am stuffed with stuffing and many other things....

Okay, I have only been to Florida during the cooler months of the year and never really knew what goes on down during the summer as my grandparents just lived down there during Oct. though April (now they stay up here all year long, they think it is freezing now, it is mild to me).

Nice TR. I was new to the whole taking the good photos at BGA when I went there so I only got a few of hte ones everyone takes. I did not ride Scorpion when I went because I missed it somehow (got a picture, but no ride, is that a Jeff Johnson Credit?). As for the (Devel) Rays stadium, I have no idea why in the heart of sunny and warm year round Florida that a baseball team needed an indoor stadium. I mean, the Cubs play outdoors in all weather in Chicago. The Vikings are (or were as I haven't watched them, only when they played the Colts) a good team. Peterson is crazy good.

Can't wait to ride flying turns.....i better just count on a 2010 opening.

Everything that was at Cypress Gardens except the kiddie coaster and Starliner.

Been nice to see a few teaser shots, because if I wasn't interested all the way, if they caught my attention I would have looked. I wanted to look anyway and nice TR. I even looked at the price of this after looking at your photos and this is something I plan on doing in the future fi they are doing it when I have the time and money.

Rides for sale up on rides4u.com Including Starliner. http://www.rides4u.com/index.php/rides/results/cat/44/order_by/ride_name/sort/asc/off/30

Almost 4 years ago, I started work at my p/t job that is a grovery store and gas station. I remembering that Tostino's pizza's were on sale for a dollar each and had 2 cents off each. I bought enough to have 1.70 some cents off each gallon of gas. I believe gas was 1.77 for regular then. I filled up with premium for .03 cents a gallon. Which brings me to today. Gas was 1.77 for regular. I just checked Speedway's gas prices, they are 1.73 a gallon. With oil down below 50 dollars a barrel, I wonder how low it will go. I remember back in 2000 when I wrecked my moms car and we didn't have a car for the summer. Gas went to about 90 cents a gallon. While I know it won't hit that, 1.50 would be nice.

I got the live update today. They are copying the Wii's avatar creater, or so it seems. I like it, but it is very similiar ot the Wii.

Those would be mine...I didn't put a name on them, new to this whole post card thing. I do emails, im's and text's for communication in text form. And I will take Sammi up on hte kiddie credit.

I wonder where some these will go? Thanks for looking. Hopefully I will ride the Starliner somewhere. Mystery parts inside. Trains? life motor? This is what it looked like when I was there. Did it actually open in summer of 07? Didn't ride it, wished I did. It was closed. While I didn't ride it, the carosuel looked nice. Atleast this will stay the same. Edited to fix the future park name. it's gary! The bill looks a little messed up. plays nbc theme. quack quack Though not a Hoosier fan, it is a tree in the shape of hte IU logo. like the waterfall See, look at the lonely flower. They do say, one is the loneliest number that you will ever know. gardens were nice This part is staying, pretty scenic. Found out a few people on a car realted site I go to, boat over to the park. Air time, Considering this was probably the best coaster there at the time, I did it a few times, me in the front. overview woman is happy now Woman: Ouch I rode this coaster, but was not enjoying it. Oh well, I won't ride another spin mouse coaster again more than likely. IF not, you should be, this thing has serious head banging. Are you scared? This was about the extent of the crowds on my day there (well, the 2 hours I stayed). Final straight section has nice air on it, the curve sucks as it is not braked. Tripple Hurricane, fun ride. She was so scared of this ride (though I believe it was in her head for most of it), she said she will never ride a coaster again. Her coaster count will stay at 1 for a while if not forever. Descent ride...funny story about it though. Sister had never ridden a coaster in her life

I wonder if Voyage will get them? I would imagine a lot more people would find it enjoyable if all they say is true.

Can we build it...yes we can....oh man, I just realized how much I hate that show when I had to show it on Saturday mornings here at the station. Some of the best sleep I ever got was waiting for those shows to end.
