I think this Sleepy Hollow deal sounds pretty cool actually. Canada's Wonderland used to have a VERY heavy theme pertaining to the Headless Horseman/Sleepy Hollow before CF took over, and with Pyromaniax changing into this, it could mean some very cool change theme wise for CF Haunts. Definitely looking forward to seeing how things turn out this fall.

Rumors about the patients and staff, and the chilling fact that they will never, ever leave THE ASYLUM. Dead Inn: These stories always start out with a dream. This one is no different. John Cole and his family had always wanted to open up a cozy little inn in the country. They scrimped and saved for years to bring their dream to reality. In the summer of 1963 the Park View Inn opened for business. After several months with few guests, John became obsessed with making their plan work. His obsession began to tear his family apart. Following the one year anniversary of the opening the conditions had not improved. John's wife left with their kids and decided it would be best if they went their separate ways. Losing his wife pushed John even further over the edge and he decided that he would make the Inn a success. John believed that if the inn were a success he could win back his one true love, but fate had other plans in store. Within months of his wife leaving, John began to change and reality began to fade away. He saw each guest that came to his Inn with suspicion, believing that they caused his wife to leave him. Several guests that had visited the inn simply disappeared, never to be seen again. The sheriff’s office began to investigate the disappearances but was not able to learn the truth. On October 13th 1964 John reached his breaking point. In a violent rampage he murdered 18 innocent guests who had made the mistake of staying at the little inn. Following the massacre, John walked into the front office and slit his own throat. For years, several owners tried to revive the cozy little inn, unfortunately all of their attempts failed. The story of the massacre is too well known, all of the locals call the inn by a more sinister moniker, Dead Inn. Only a few years ago the inn was condemned and boarded up. The old building that was built on dreams is off limits. Even to this day locals claim that the ghost of John Cole and his victims still roam the rooms. Within the doors of the Park View Inn history is coming alive room by room. Who will be the next victim at the Dead Inn?

They succeeded for sixty two years… Finally, all of the killing and torture has taken its toll on the sanity of the butchers at Shady Lakes. The pigs have now become too boring. Too predictable. Not even smart enough to hide. The crazed butchers have decided that it is time to make their work “fun” again. You are about to enter a place that you will wish did not exist; A place where your last breath is controlled by the twisted and insane. How many ways are there to die?

Bertilak de Hautdesert gave up hope on being rescued, and rallied the prisoners to overthrow the cruel tyrannical nobility. The torture which they had long been subjected to has now come full circle on their royal oppressors in a scene of carnage that makes Countess Bathory’s castle look like a holiday retreat. Let the brave of heart and noble of spirit beware: chivalry is dead. Mother Noose: Medieval Maze (Laser Tag) When the Grimm brothers set out to document folktales from across the country side, they had no idea about the dark horrors they would encounter. Tales of massacre, evil creatures, ferocious beasts, bloody endings . . .certainly not the romanticized fairy tales we all grew up with. Mother Noose has revitalized these forgotten and censored tales, for anyone brave enough to see just how dark the dark ages really were; and be introduced to the chilling side of such classics as Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, and Briar Rose. Be warned, those who escape this maze will find themselves disenchanted. Red Beard's Rage: Pod 1 (Courtyard behind Dragon Fyre) The legendary pirate known as Red Beard is said to have led his crew into a massacre when they set to the sea for a preemptive strike against the Spaniards; but neither he or his ship was ever found. A single surviving manuscript details how his mistress, a sea witch who was later burnt at the stake, cast a spell to keep Red Beard and his crew from fully crossing into death. His ship has continued to haunt the stormy seas for centuries. Now it has set up dock and Red Beard and his crew await new victims to help them fulfill their bloodlust. Clowns at Midnight: Bumper Cars In 1857 the circus top tent caught on fire. The spectators escaped unharmed, but the performers were left behind to choke on the heavy smoke and burn in the infernal heat. The audience claimed they thought it was part of the show, but the angry spirits of the clowns and circus freaks do not believe such a claim, and know that the spectators simply did not believe the freaks were worth the effort to save. Every night, the circus freaks appear to perform their act in an attempt to lure in fresh blood until they have gathered enough to return to this world for good. The Asylum: Tent behind Wonder Theater In 1923 Miles Gravestone was admitted to the asylum after surviving the curse of Slaughter Mill. No one believed his story, and most believed that it was he who gruesomely murdered his camping friends. The doctors forced electroshock therapy while the nurses cruelly sedated him with rusty needles. Pushed to his psychological brink, his sorrow and fear exploded in a rage of fury and he gathered all the other inmates to form a revolt. The inmates have taken over the asylum entirely, and those doctors and nurses who survived such actions are just as deranged as their former patients. BloodShed: Kingswood Theater When the headless horseman realized his head was not in the possession of the humans, he ravaged the Van Tassels’ barn, tearing through the helpless workers and animals that got in his way. The dilapidated barn is now haunted by rabid animals out for revenge against all things human, and the corpses of deceased farm hands roam about in loathsome madness. Cornstalkers: Beside Timber Wolf Falls With the Van Tassel family and their farm hands all dead, the fields of the Van Tassel Farmstead have become overgrown with two centuries of colonial debris and corn. The evil which occurred on the farmstead that night has sunk into the once lifeless bodies of scarecrows, which now consider these fields theirs, and will stalk and scare any crows, animals or humans who dare set foot onto their soil. _______________________________________________________________ Next Up: Worlds of Fun's Halloween Haunt.

Well I guess you were all wrong. Obviously Robb has it at TPR headquarters . . . Duhhh

Thank you for the signature kind sir. You have made my day! But when he burninates through the countryside, won't that erode the land deep beneath magnum, furthermore causing it took sink?

R.I.P. All I can say is that he sure sounded like an amazing guy, and I'm positive there's going to be a darn good Theme Park opening up in Heaven pretty soon.

First Park: Nickelodeon Universe - March 20th First Flat: Brain Surge - Nickelodeon Universe First Coaster: Spongebob's Rock Bottom Plunge - Nickelodeon Universe It's been a great 2010 season so far!

Wild Thing at Valleyfair Wild Thing at Valleyfair

I want one. Now.

I love the sandwiches but like Looty said if I really want to have one I'll be heading out to the Subway in Downtown Shakopee. For the park's sake, I'll keep buying cookies because those things are GOOD.

Unfortunately, yes. There were also other variations too that made me do a facepalm. Also, here are a few others that didn't turn out as well. Steel Venom Wild Thing/New Informational Sign Various Rides Corkscrew with the new Arrow/S&S tree brakes. New for 2010 - Tree: The Ride Freefallin' New Overhang Thingy for WT Photos

Headed out yesterday to Opening Day & I have to say that the park looks better than it has in years! Everything looked so clean and well cut. The new signs, painted buildings, and other various upgrades really stood out and made the park seem a lot more high end. Overall I was very impressed with all that has been added/modified. Anyway, got there circa 8:30, they opened up the gates, then met up with r78, Neers, and VF7 (Couple members from Valleyfairzone) to play some blackjack. r78 took the winnings unfortunately in a last second all in move. Very intense stuff. The University of Minnesota Marching Band played the National Anthem and then the park opened up. We got in the park and went immediately to High Roller. High Roller + No Trims on the turnaround = DirtNasty. We then headed back to Renegade for a quick ride on that and I don't know what they did to it, but it hauled yesterday. Definitely better than last season. Can't wait to see it warm up! We then headed over to Wild Thing, rode back seat on that, took the tunnel, etc. Great ride! After that we rode Power Tower which was half decent, then headed over to Ripcord to be the first fliers (for the GP at least) for the 2010 season. It was definitely a great flight = ) After Ripcord, headed over to say hi to a friend who was working foods, then went on Monster and Corkscrew (which was actually surprisingly smooth). Unfortunately after a fun day of strolling around the park, I had to go to Prom which definitely topped off a good day. Overall it was a great day, beautiful weather, and a fantastic start to what should be a fun-filled season! Also to see a before and after panorama of the main entrance, click down below. Before and After. Here are some of the photos I took. Thanks for reading! Playing some Blackjack before the park opened. Good stuff. The crowd waiting at the gate before opening. Not quite CP magnitude but still decent. Valleyfair Pizza is now Mama Chetta's Pizzeria. Mama Chetta supposedly was a foods manager or supervisor at Cedar Point who passed away after many years of service. DOMO! Eat Fresh for only $13.85! (No free refills) New signage for Stadium Grille. New Soak City sign. New show called Retro Rockit. Pretty cheesy but overall it was half good. Definitely couldn't pass up Ripcord. Staple of Area 1 for sureee. Rest in Peace at Michigan's Adventure Bumper Boats Here you see the Bumper Boats mechanical sign or somethin' like that. Steel Venom looking awfully . . . venomous? Here's a new informational sign thingy. Lookin' spiffy. Here's some nice concrete. *Some other lame CF joke here* Nice new signage out front in the Carousel Plaza. Here's what WOF fanboys specialize in. Yes, I did just go there. Corkscrew's nice new front car. "Before I leave brush my teeth and comb my hair back" - Ke$ha Fail brought to you by Retro Rockit. Quack Duck Pond Nice new entrance.

They should leave the epic movie making to CD5 in the TPR games forum . . .

Those riding Timber Twister will race along a 3,200 foot track, through the forest, and down the mountain in individual coaster cars. Riders can travel alone or in pairs, and have complete control of their speed (up to 26 mph) for a truly unique, hands-on experience. Unlike an alpine slide, the alpine coaster makes hairpin turns, is elevated off the ground like a roller coaster, and operates year-round due to its unique track system. With a few weather exceptions, riders will enjoy this one-of-a-kind sensation throughout the year. At the end of the ride down the mountain, guests will settle back in their cars for a comfortable and scenic return trip to the top. The complete Timber Twister experience will take riders on a thrilling six-minute journey while overlooking the wondrous views of Lake Superior. There are only four alpine coasters operating in the U.S. and this will be the only one in the Midwest. This is truly a unique attraction, and is NOT an alpine slide!!! This awesome new 6 minute experience is opening July 1, 2010! I'm tempted to travel the couple hours up north and ride it! Sounds like a blast! For more information, visit Spirit Mountain's website.

I'm guessing (due to the massive layout) that it'll be something similar to a Wingrider.

I love it! This stuff is right up my alley. Thanks for posting!

I'm extremely into drawing Haunted Houses so now I just bring tons of sheets of paper with rectangles on them & draw Haunts during school. Definitely a great hobby. To see the full size image, click here. A drawing of my Sawmill Haunt!

Brain Surge opened yesterday during my flight back from Florida so to my utter dismay I wasn't able to be there on Opening Day, but a bunch of members of Valleyfairzone & I met up to ride it so goo-bah to you Opening Day riders. We got there around an hour before the ride opened, got unlimited ride wristbands for a relatively cheap price of $24.99 and then headed over to BS for an hour of waiting. They started testing at about 10 (when the park opened) and right off the bat they started having some mechanical issues with it post testing. We waited it out regardless and as the GP all started to leave the line because of the delay, they opened it up. The cars are actually fairly comfortable. Not millennium flier comfy, but still rideable. You connect your seatbelt to your OTSR and then a ride operator comes around and lifts up the leg rest.There's a lever between the seats that's fairly easy to operate for either rider. Once the ride starts you start spinning right away, lever pending. The ride picks up speed VERY quickly, combine that with the rotations of your car controlled by the lever, Brain Surge can actually be fairly intense! After 2 rides, another VFZ member met up with us and we went to ride it one last time before going to explore the rest of the park. We got in line, waited a cycle & then it broke down. Waited about 10-15 minutes & then it was back up. Once we got on the ride & it started we went backwards to hold ourselves upsidedown. Bad decision. The ride slowed down right away and we were stuck upsidedown for about 5 minutes. Once a mechanic came by & put us right-side-up we went around the entire track slowly once, then went backwards for about a quarter of the track, and then the ride started again. Mid-ride they did an E-Stop, but that didn't take very long to figure out. Post E-Stop we got a FANTASTIC ride. Very quick, disorienting, and fun! After BS, we headed to Splat-O-Sphere, Avatar, FOC, POS, and some other rides with unfortunate acronyms. Went on the Log Chute & got completely SOAKED, went on the TreeTop Colliders, took a spin on the Ferris Wheel, and then I went to Valleyfair to snag some offseason pics of flooding & the Bumper Boat removal and whatnot. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Brain Surge to everyone! It's as family friendly as you want it to be & I personally think it's like a Zipper on roids. Give it a spin! 4/5 surges. Here's a video one of our Forum members took: Now here is my attempt at sarcasm, comedy, and informative captions to go along with a variety of photos. Woah cool, it's that new ride. Sit here. Ride will start. Gotta love the signage! (I rotated this pic) 90 DEGREES! Here's where you wait. The wait highly depends on how many times it breaks down. And this is your brain on drugs. Call me Brain Surge's Lever, I can make your seat rock. The ride is surrounded by glass, but seeing as the world will end in approximately 1005 days. Remove loose articles from your pockets before the ride, or just like walking through downtown Minneapolis, they'll disappear! More liberal propaganda. I'm on a bench. The color scheme is quite colorful. Shiny ayy? Kind of looks like those aquaglobe thingys that they sell on TV. Here's the Jon & Kate car. The Unicoaster runs on a track. So Jeff Johnson, what's your verdict? This ride is fun. Now go ride it. Insert feet here. Spongebob Brown Pants. HA! That's punny. This park has flowers. It is indoors. FOC closeup. Raise your hand if you're for illegal immigration! In case you all were wondering, there are multiple targets that you shoot at during this ride, that's why the middle is sort of shaped like a target. 90 Degrees! Pow. You will pay. TO THE CHOPPER! Brain Surging in progress. This park has a very big ball. NU actually has a LOT of unique rides. You can see the BS from up on the Ferris Wheel! That's a lot of BS. POS - What an unfortunate yet fitting acronym. Onto Valleyfair - The 2nd portion of the parking lot is flooded. That's what we call, bad. Some work is being done around the main entrance. New signage, surfacing, etc. You probably can't see it that well, but Excalibur is a tad bit flooded. Water coaster. There's something to advertise for the 2010 season! These Bumper Boats are going to Michigan's Adventure. Apparently, they will conclude the capital expansion for the next 3 years. Yep. No caption. Sorry folks. That just about wraps it up! Thanks for taking a look! Now go ride BS, POS, FOC, etc. ADMIN EDIT: I went ahead and embedded the youtube video. Feel free to use our youtube feature in the future. Thanks for sharing this with us!

VFZ has posted a video of the ride testing! I don't know how to post vimeo(s) on this site so I figure I'll just give you all the link. Looks like fun! It's set to open either tomorrow or Saturday.

In my opinion this would be a very wise move. Another reason (if the visual appeal of the ride isn't enough) that it would be a great investment is because current day, a LOT of waterparks have racing waterslides, while very few have Boomerango style slides. I don't know how they hold up maintenance wise or how much they cost, but if got to decide what I wanted to add to a local waterpark, I would definitely go with a Boomerango instead of racing slides.

Although Mat Racers are fun, I definitely prefer the Boomerango over even the Proslide Tornado. I haven't gotten to ride the family version of the Boomerango, but those look even more fun than the original!

New photos from Valleyfairzone: Brain Surge - Whole Ride with Sign Ride Sign (Which is pretty snazzy, I must say) To Looty, From VFZ

Can I get a "Pow!" for another Boomerango being installed in the U.S.? Gotta love it.

But you five posts they skip the rock work and leave that big pad of concrete as is.

I'm buying a membership, no questions asked!

Here are some photos from today taken by VF7 from Valleyfairzone - We'll also have photos from Opening Day (March 18th) of Brain Surge! The Queue Area The Ride Area Your carriage awaits!
