I don't own RockBand. But I probably will buy just the game once I get Guitar Hero World Tour.

Just the fact that Guitar Hero has a 30 Seconds to Mars song sold me.

It looks cool but I'd much prefer the Aircraft Identification Guide.

Manhattan Express at New York New York. Last car, last row. Not exactly sure where all the rough complaints come from. I had my hands up the entire time and thought the ride was fine. I've been on MUCH MUCH rougher coasters than this.

I saw a great show on Discovery yesterday about the park. It was one of those Mega Builder/Engineering shows. It mostly focused on their surf pool and all the problems they had building it. I love looking at pictures of this place, I must visit it.

It's a Hannah Montana costume my friends and I found in Walt Disney World. We are unsure if the costume is for a (ugly) little girl wanting to dress up as Hannah Montana, or for a (confused) little boy that wants to cross dress as Hannah Montana. The store clerks also did not know.

"Hey, lets go to a theme park so we can see what Rome was like while we're in Rome." Fixed. Somehow I think ancient Rome was just a wee bit different than modern Rome.

I remember seeing the Appliance Direct commercial non stop when i stayed off Disney property a few years ago in Florida. I have to wonder what's so good about appliances from Cleveland though. Am I missing something? nay, I can see why you don't like that commercial. The guy singing was bad enough, but when the girl's started I contemplated shooting myself. Anyway, for me, the worst ads are for Oliver Jewelry. If you don't know what I'm talking about look up Russel Oliver (or his alter ego, Cash Man)

Definitely the new colour for the Bat at Canada's Wonderland. It went from black and blood red to orange and blood red.

Great pictures, I wish I could have made it out for the event. Maybe next year, if it happens again. BTW, some coasters at the park used to have single rider lines (BSC, Time Warp, and Behemoth) but people, for reasons I can't comprehend, actually complained about them. I knew a few people that worked on Italian Job in it's first season and they told me that got a lot of complaints about how groups of people would be angry that single riders got to go on before them and wait less time. Time Warp still has theirs, and I believe it's still used, but I never see anyone in it.

Sleeping. Maybe go to Woodbine with all the free "hamburger/hot dog + pop + $5 free money for gambling" tickets my grandpa has.

So what exactly defines a "great wheel" anyway? If it's just a tall Ferris Wheel in a city instead of a theme park or carnival, then the first for North America would have been Niagara Falls.

I doubt Venom since Sony would probably be all over their ass for naming it after a villain from Spiderman 3.

What a small poutine... When you have a great Canadian meal like a poutine; the bigger, the more heart clogging, the better. Hmm...maybe thats why my doctor said my cholesterol was a little higher than it should be for a 22yr old...

I didn't get to make it to the event, but my girlfriend is a lead at Vortex and said you guys made her night with all your crazy awesome antics. Just wondering though, what were some of the questions asked, and what were the answers? Also, if you remember, what managers did the answering?

Glad to see it's finally official. Should be nice to get some ERT that day since it's a holiday and might end up being a little busier than normal. I have one question though... I have a free admission pass I had gotten from volunteering at the park on Math and Physics day. Can I use this for my admission and just pay the $35 option?

One of the first times I went to Darien Lake, an entire wedding party got on Mind Eraser just as I had gotten off. Bride and Groom in the front, and the rest in the following seats. It was pretty funny watching the bride trying to keep her legs crossed so her dress wouldn't accidentally give people a peek. When I worked at Xtreme Skyflyer at Canada's Wonderland there was a small wedding ceremony. The wedding took place on the platform, and when they were done, the bride and groom took their first flight together.

So, you're going to glue the pieces together and then sell it on eBay? How do you plan on shipping a 36ft tall and 50ft long K'nex coaster that's been glued together? You might want to re-think that plan.

I'll be arriving in Las Vegas the day after it closes. Dammit.

I did a search and couldn't find anything, so I'm starting this one. There's a July 4th thread, so here's the one for us Canadians on the boards. Happy Canada Day everyone! Hope you have a great day celebrating our country and heritage. Post if you have any special plans, or just post something that you love about Canada.

Dear God, yes. Canada Day, especially when the weather is beautiful, is one of the park's busiest days. Pretty much everyone has the day off and flocks to the park to see the fireworks. Also, have fun leaving the park once it's all over. It once took me over 30min just to leave the employee exit road (should not take more than 30sec). The main exit road is probably much worse.

Were ALL the waterfalls back on, or just the upper ones on the front of the mountain? There are also a few on the back where Vortex's lift is and I'm wondering if those are back on too.

This is turning into a bigger conspiracy than the moon landing. Did Cedar Fair offer the ride for free? Who knows. Did ACE decline it if they did? Maybe.

If they could find a way to release those cars on the side at a low slow point, so they can continue down a log flume ride, that would be awesome. I mean, the cars already look like they belong in a log flume already. The empty Eagle carrier would just continue on to a station where two boats are already waiting, attach them, and go on out. With enough boats, it could help capacity out, as long as the coaster part isn't too long. That would probably be a maintenance nightmare though.
