Yes, but there is only one park and it only has one very small coaster. Have you been persecuted for being a coaster enthusiast?

Yes Do girls get you into all kinds of trouble?

It should be noted that Avatar and Titanic director James Cameron got his start with Pirahna 2, which was about flying pirahnas. What next a flying mega shark? Tiffany is way hot, she grew up very nicely.

^No, Volcano is 155' according to rcdb.

^There are two, the Brazillian one was purchased by the Italian one in 2002 and renamed Mirabilandia. The Italian one looks good with iSpeed and Katun.

Every time I see "new invert for Mirabilandia in 2010" on Screamscape, I get excited and then I realise it's not the Italian one, which I am going to. Deja Vu is okay, I really like the hang on the vertical drop, that was nice.

Nice work, the third last photo is hilarious. The look of pain on that guys face, you'd think I305 had over the groin restraints. This would be my day at KD, ride I305 all morning, get Shockwave credit, ride I305 the rest of the day with maybe a ride on Flight Of Fear.

Good stuff, there should be some terminating of Cedar Fair board members now. The next stockholders meeting won't be pretty, I'd hate to be Dick.

Has there been a formal announcement? It does seems likely this is it rather than just being closed for the 2010 season but you never know -they might do a Texas Giant style refurb. Though my money is on Cedar Fair cutting their losses. Personally, Die Son Of Beast die! BTW The Beast was horrible in 2007, the drop into the shed after the second lift hill was the most painful experience I have ever had on a coaster. Now let's all pray for an Intamin Prefab Woodie to take it's place, Son of Balder.

For me, I will evaluate whether I would want to visit a park based on what's actually there. So the ad would need to be clear about the attrractions, and they would need to back it up with a website that gives me more details about the attractions, prices, accomodation, getting there, any fast pass options etc. The bottom line is no amount of flashy or creative advertising will convince me to go somewhere unless the attractions are something I am interested in.

Excellent pics, I especially loved photo 4, I think that captures the how huge the coaster is. This coaster sucks for me, aside from it being 12,000 miles from my doorstep, the leisurely Halloween tour I was planning now may have to get a KD visit shoehorned in there.

how can you say that when there are only 6 in the us? And those 6 are virtually on the east coast... You actually hammer home my point even more, there is eight B & M Hypers in the Eastern half of North America, they're great rides and what people like in coasters is subjective but I know which Intimidator I'd rather be riding if I had to choose. And even if Busch put in the rumoured Intamin launch coaster over a B & M hyper that would be something I personally would find preferable, just my opinion based on what I like in coasters.

Nice work from Robb, all has finally revealed. I guess the $25 million question - has GeForce and SFNE's Bizarro been topped? I may have to add a mini Intimidator trip when I come over for Halloween.

7/20, I'm amazed I got more than zero.

^Good point, it is April 1. B & M Hypers are everywhere now in the US, I was hoping for something different like the rumoured Intamin launch coaster.

I was looking at the Intimidator 305 website, they seem excited about the opening - not! Who's this Robb guy who will be coming, not Robb Reiner the drummer from Anvil?

^Poo to that, what would it take to get some Intamin in the Busch (not likely, I know)? That Giraffe's tongue is almost as long as Gene Simmons.

^Elissa, is this park officially off the Intimidatour yet?

^Matt, remember your secret mission at Disney, move up to the top and then put Intamin Hypers and Pre-fab woodies in every park, and put a park in Sydney while you're at it.

Er, I'm sure I took a flight from Johannesburg to Perth that was only ten hours or so... It's a lovely park, FWIW, and this will only make it better. It's a bit longer from Sydney to JBurg, 14-17 hours, depending on if you stop in Perth. It's a couple of hours quicker on the way back because there's a tailwind. Virgin takes a lot longer because they use smaller planes and have to use a different route.

The Intamin Stand Up in the field across the road?

^You had me excited that something was actually happening in Australia for a minute there.

^I don't know but I think he's spent plenty of time on Brokeback Mountain.

Hey Adam, "Patrick Gruss brings his famous act to Australia"??? I can only wish Gold Reef City was in Australia, but unfortunately it's 17 hours in a plane.

"Non-fat" zombies - all the taste for human flesh but half the calories. I like how they have knock offs from movies, there was a girl hung up by her wrists who looked like a less risque version of the frozen girl from the Saw maze, and the guy with spike coming out of his mouth, that is totally Dr tongue from Day of the Dead, combined with the skewering from Cannibal Holocaust (that movie was eeew). Thanks for the update, I'm a huge Haunt fan since my first HHN last year.
