RIP Psyclone

There's one thing that occured to me, and that is that dual loading stations would have been ideal for X2, but I'm sure that would have been way out of the budget. Unloading and loading in the same spot will undoubtedly help, but I fear there will be stacking, making the 3rd train unnecessary. But yes, please, let's give them a chance. Dispatches of about 1:30 is what I think they're aiming for.

The only team to really worry about is San Antonio. I sincerely hope they get taken out in the 2nd round.

Just when you thought Chris claiming he owns Disneyland couldn't be topped, a guy claimed he owns England. Priceless. And no, the next update won't be boring...bring on the one we've all been waiting for, Fuji-Q!

The Batman stunt show at Mystic Lake perhaps had a larger set? Well, I was 12 years old, so I probably liked it more then than if I could see the same show now.

The Breeders comment actually made me laugh. I know Kim Deal did some more stuff with the Pixies as well. I think there's something for everyone in this thread. And yes, yellow. Now all this reggae song needs is a bong!

^It is, but there are conflicting reports as to which has the more intense pretzel loop.

I never really watched it on tv until season 4. I watched every episode, seasons 1-3, in order, on dvd, before the season 4 premiere, though.

I know that Knott's took advantage of the "Urban Cowboy" craze, but that would have been early 80's.

I'm sorry, that doesn't even look like her. (Evangeline Lilly) Seen her on Lost without makeup? Nothing special at all. I agree with Amy Adams, though.

Wow, this one may restore our faith in Cedar Fair, at least occasionally, to do the right thing. Instead of just slapping on a new sign, they saw it as an opportunity to improve upon the ride. Amazing!

Okay Paul, how about Behemoth vs. Nitro? Or any other hyper for that matter...

Although the new trains may have looked better with fiberglass body pieces, I absolutely respect the reason for not having them. Haters, you should have gone to WCB, then we'd all be on the same page.

Well, you guys rode Water Bandit, but not Fire Bandit, so it couldn't have been that one.

I was worried there wouldn't be a pretzel loop, but you guys delivered! How about a baby Adventure Thru Inner Space? If you need the virtual ride-thru dvd, I got it.

Blocking off rows for flash pass only slows down the stand by line tremendously. I think Robb once said they were blocking off several rows on Tatsu just for flash pass, and letting the rows go empty when no flash pass riders were there. I'm glad they're at least making sure no seats go empty. Flash pass, when done right, in conjunction with a single riders line is the way to go.

And I'd like to ride it once. I'd choose Dodonpa.

Swimming, but not operating. Soaked/Soaking, but not operating. Submerged, but not operating.

^Dude, I've made it pretty clear that I don't dislike the movie. In fact, I would say it has grown on me, and I in fact do like the movie. The Tic Tac thing, however, is not Diablo Cody's fault, since it was most likely not her decision to film it in Canada. So, please, before you get all accusatory...

You're the type that obsessives over every minor continuity error, no matter how trivial aren't you? So a Canadian tic tac was used. Big deal. Next are you going to complain about how many times Toronto has been used as New York in TV/movies? LOL, it's an "error in geography," not a continuity error, to use the imdb terminology. Shooting in TO to double as NYC is obviously not an "error," nor would I think so. It only is when the CN Tower is visible, or something like that. -chris

I know, how can you not like Sandstorm! Nope, Darude - Sandstorm was not a song played in X's queue. Would have been a good choice, though, I think! Actually, my friend once confused Confusion with Sandstorm.

^I'd say I don't care much for 3 of the 4 songs that were played in X's queue. However, I thought one of them was okay, and that's the "main" one-- "Confusion (Pump Panel Reconstruction)" by New Order...the one that was in Blade. I think that song is so associated with X that it'll be strange not to hear it anymore.

Actually, Diablo Cody is online right now, and she would be the best one to explain! But, in short, 16 year old girl gets pregnant, considers abortion, decides on adoption, hilarity ensues.

^I definately agree with you there. It's less thrilling than many kiddie coasters. It just does absolutely nothing. My candidate for the most boring coaster on Earth.

One small point... Orange Tic Tacs play a small role in the movie. Juno, although taking place in Minnesota, was filmed in British Columbia, Canada. In Canada, orange Tic Tacs come in red/orange colo(u)red plastic containers, as seen in the movie, and here: Of course, the U.S. version of Tic Tacs should have been seen, with clear plastic containers:

Bob-Lo seems like it was interesting, an amusement park built on an island in the Detroit River, on the Canadian side of the border. Did you have to take a ferry to get to it?
