I wish I wouldn't have spent all that money on logs!!!! Kinda pissed but happy for all you all getting another chance. I guess I'll try and make some of it up with winning donuts

Great PTR. Thanks for the photos! Was enjoying your captions, then they went away!!

^I don't know how you're defining "big", but there are quite a few big coasters in the US opening up this season.. Hades 360, Yolo, Gold Striker, White Lightning, I-Rat, Outlaw Run, Gatekeeper... Plus a lot of "little" projects. I'd say just about every major major market in the US is getting something at least semi-big in their area (within driving distance). Again, it depends on your definition of "big". I'd say this is a pretty good season for the US!

I'm curious about the new restaurant. What other food or theme could it be around? I know nothing about the Potter story line, but their previous food experiments went very well, how could they follow that up?

I think I speak on behalf of eveyone when I say.. Details please!!!!

You know, I'll be very curious to see the Visit Orlando tourist statistics for the 2014 season. After the first park opened in 2010, Orlando's visitation broke all sorts of records. I was at a Florida Attractions meeting once, where they called it the 'Potter Effect'. I'm wondering if we'll see the visitation hit the same levels in 2014. Personally I feel the heavy weight of the "must see" phenomenon has died off, and opening a second won't do as well, though it will still be a big hit! I could be wrong though. Potter is still a big hit with kids and families!

To be fair, I know a lot of pretty big 'casual' Harry Potter fans who knew nothing of the sort, just that a new Potter land was coming. So to a lot of people who aren't following this on a regular basis, this is news. But yes, this was a pretty dead give-away.

This actually looks like it's going to be kinda fun! I'm pretty impressed.

^I know, that's really been bothering me too!

I love this park so much. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

Cool Cool Cool!

I always recommend waiting until you're in the park to decide about Quick Queue, but generally, crowds are steady, but not packed. There's a deal online right now for $85 that includes park tickets and all day dining. I don't know what exactly is behind all that, but it sounds like a good steal. Anyone else know more?

I'm stuipidly stressed about getting enough snakes!!!! This is rediculous. I'm slacking on my projects at wor just to keep up... I'm *this* close to start hashing out some more money (which I've already spent $40 on this update) just to get more snakes! AHHH!

The bag policy on this ride BLEW my mind away. You HAVE to take your bags with you on this. I mean... what?! Crazy ride, crazy park, crazy GP.

My back hurts from just looking at it. Great photos though!

I'm getting really nervous that I won't make it to the Motel. I'm sitting at around 8400 snakes but want moreeee. I wonder how long this update will last.

Great update! Thank you!

Awesome looking coaster!

I'm just now catching up on the progess of this ride. WOW! Looks exciting!

I wouldn't compare it at all to Mean Streak, while it has its roughness, Mean Streak doesn't do much even if it were to be glass smooth. I'd compare it a little more to Ghostrider. One of those, could be a really good ride if you looked past the roughness. On Gwazi, when it opened, I remember all the air-time and great forces on it, but over time, you can't even feel them anymore because you're too busy bracing yourself from the shaking. I felt the same way on Ghostrider. It's a shame when good wooden coasters age much more quickly than it should. Gwazi was extremely bad before the new trains showed up, but even with the new trains, it was more like putting a bandaid on a burn victim. In terms of the Florida weather, I'd say it's more from just constant year round abuse than the weather itself. There (were) other wooden coasters in the state that didn't wear down as quickly like Dania Beach Hurricane, but that coaster didn't run nearly as frequently as Gwazi did, though I'm sure there are a lot of other factors that played into the slow demise of Gwazi. Such a pitty.

I was just about to come in here and post that same problem too. I've tried to send him on other tasks and then nothing. It's been since last night the same problem. Hmmm

^I've never noticed that before. Weird. Thanks!

I just did a complete remodel of my town to make it easier for me to find those damned snakes, plus I needed to do some renovations and decorations with some of the new buildings coming in. This has been the most fun update I've been around for. I'm really enjoying this game. That being said, my righteousness has almost dropped off the face of the earth and I'm wondering if it's because of the thugs and mafia in town. I haven't had too many people spray paint my town recently (no more than usual), and I can't think of anything else. Anyone else see that?

Left a little over 100 in your town Shawn. Got 100 more, anyone?

I've got a couple hundred if anyone wants to do an exchange!
