TheRapidsNerd

It's like something straight out of a sci-fi movie (Demolition Man, AI, etc...) Ditto! Good time to grab some coffee and a funnel cake credit.

Forgot just how funny MrMorgan's poem was. And my sole is prepared for the unequalled awesome of: The Dave Experience

No update? *sigh* I think I'll live.

Ok, this is getting interesting. Possible Name: Mustang Possible Theme: Horse/Western (like Pony Express and Maverick) Could this be a a shorter B&M hyper train with Behemoth type seating, and the splash funnels, ala Sheikra and Griffon? Well, whatever it is, I'm hooked, and looking forward to the end result.

From the pictures I've seen, this thing looks like fun. Sorry to see it go, especially having never been to the attraction. Fan? Yes. Borg Fan? You bet! Do I collect the hallmark light up ornaments every year at Christmas? Since 1994 or 95. I'm not a Nerd for nothin!

Sounds like a date I had once... Know that was unintentional, but still well said.

Yep, I miss the eyes on the BBW trains too. Those were just some neat graphics on the trains. One of my favorite video clips from last year's trip is Alpie's zero-g rool. It's just cool

Awesome shots of the city! I also dig fountains, waterfalls, etc.

My heart goes out to those students. What an embarassment.

Well done TR! This is another 'must do' on the list, especially after witnessing the pure awesomeness that is The Walking Taco. What a cool idea! Thanks for including some of the unique town as well.

Oh, I get it. When referenceing DDRSF, I forgot about the track system it was on, but meant the bunny hill. Was thinking more waterslide with a bunny hill. You have a good idea to with the up-hill water coaster system since, like you said, this is all possible next gen. Can see a modified conveyor working, though unsure water jets or magnet systems would work as well to get it up. Thanks for mentioning Wild Adventures, while I'm thinking about it. I've meant to check that place out, even though it hasn't gotten good reviews. You got me curious about it's rapids and how it's designed.

DT and Falafel, Thought of you two yesterday while at the local botanical gardens. They have a dinosour exhibit going on you both would enjoy. Kept thinking of Dinosour at AK and, naturally, Jurassic Park. Thanks again for sharing a great trip and Happy 4th to you both.

I don't see why not? If you can do it with Dudly DoRight Ripsaw Falls, you can to evlove it for circular raft. Almost has a shoot-the-chutes aspect, if it truly is intentional. Props for creativity there.

We're very lucky this year. Both Robb and Big Mike are updating vs just Robb. To get anything at all is a treat to be appreciated, not a requirement to be expected.

Enjoyed the latest round of pics, particularly the friends and family shots. And that's not just for the particular ride they were on, though that was appreicated too. Happy 4th of July weekend everybody and safe journey.

That was a great line.

Always good to see KI and enjoyed some of the FireHawk pics. Sometimes, you'll find it takes a while, plus several of the regulars are in Europe right now. If it helps, the general idea is put what you have out there because at least 1 person will appreiciate it. Otherwise, if you get a lot of hits and comments, great. If not, no worries and just go on to the next PTR. There are thousands of people on here, so it's a good bet they'll enjoy what you post, but they just may not say so.

2 words. Slime Geyser.

You have a point here, in that this seems to follow on/evolve the drops that are showing up on rapids rides. While not a big fan of said drops, the whirl pool idea is a good one.

Well said friend. I can smell the cabbage now...

Oh the comedy that would be Natalie's road show review of Vision Land.

^ Glad somebody got those. You have to have a little fun with these reports now and again, you know? I always get a kick out of Robb's every so often. Scott's too. Natatomic's are just plain hilarious.

Looks like a variation on ABC Rides BAYERN PARK_Wildwasser Rafting. Cool idea to have the drop from the whirl pool. EDIT: Forgot to say thank you for putting up the info on the new ride.

And so is born yet another TPR inside joke. And it's STILL stuck in my head!

This story has more twists and turns than a rattle snake tied in a grannie knot. So to sum up, AHG, known for Casinos, has bought the land, but hasn't given much if any plan other than cleaning up what's on site and putting up a few carnival rides to start. Is this correct? I get th feeling a resort casino could be the focus with a small park as a bonus. They might see how well the park draws, and, if it proves worthwhile, expand from there. If they follow suit, an indoor waterpark might be in the plans. Note: This is pure conjecture. There are no announcements or even rumors to back up my guesses. Just musing here.
