Great job guys. This was a tough one. I had actually thought that the image may have the hidden the letter somewhere. I was actually on the right track, but I Inverted the colors of the image. I never thought of putting it through that specific filter! Geat find!

It's probably a hydraulically launched verticle looping inverted aqua trax droptower with a heartline roll for 2009. trust me. My sources are legit!!

Thanks Nat

I'm just a little confused about something. Was there anything found in pic 6/14?

Coal Cracker wasn't removed. The drop track had some remodeling done. They are reinstalled and ready to go. This puzzle is rackin' my brain.

Just to relieve any confusion about the lift hill--The chains are powered by an electro-hydraulic system. An electric motor powers a hydraulic system that turns the chain. There are 2 independent motors systems, one for each chain. There is also a generator backup in case the power goes out, allowing the park to operate the lift if need be.

There are only 2 things guaranteed in life ---- DEATH AND TAXES. I think this guy was going for the gold, considering today is tax day. RIP 'O great animator

It certainly isn't hate speech. what is your definition of hate speech? if you disagree with someones lifestyle and vocalize about it, is it hate speech? God does say things in the old and new testaments about these things. Do I agree with the way he said it? No. Do I agree that all these things were caused just by people being gay, lesbian, ACLU ect?? No. We are all to blame. For him to group an entire nations problems on a few groups is definitely wrong, but it's not hate speech. They have freedom of speech too. I can only assume that any coaster on campus would be closed on a sunday, but who knows for sure

We know

Here is a link to the story on Foxnews.com http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,351112,00.html

Um, ok. I think you are confusing Westboro baptist(who are the true haters) with Liberty. Making a blanket statement like that is pretty prejudice, and down right wrong. That's like me saying that your favorite coaster broke down because we went to war with iraq. It's doesn't take. The stand of Liberty is not one of hate. Yes, they believe that the gay lifestyle is wrong, as most Christian institutions that follow biblical principal, but they don't hate them. Just out of curiosity, why do you have such a HATRED towards the institution? I think you hate them as much as their "supposed" hatred towards gays. Can you give me one shred of evidence that the institution or Falwell himself said anything to the effect that "We hate gays"?

You mean Lynchburg VA?

I drove by HP today to take a gander at FH. It looks impressive. The cobra element on that thing is very tight and compact, but tall. Looks kind of weird and intense.

And you can do that , if you so choose. You have to understand that alot of people go to that school not only because of the education, but because they can attend with like minded people. Some people don't want to be tempted to watch certain movies, listen to certain types of music or be exposed to dressing a certain way. You have the freedom to watch what movies you want and dress the way you dress. They have the freedom to sign Liberty's code of ethics or to not. It's not the school that is forcing them to do it. They choose to do it. try not to judge other people because they choose a different lifestyle or religiosity.

It doesn't say they can't wear shorts at all. Just not to class. They can wear their shorts on their personal casual time. They just can't wear daisy dukes. Before making a blanket statement, read into it a little better. I for one think it's not a bad idea, being a Christian college and all. What kind of example would they send if they allowed their students to wear deep v cut cleavage showing shirts and bikini bottoms?

easy guys.....I think you should strongly consider what you say about liberty. I know many graduates of this school and they are fine people. As far as being a radical sect? I'm not so sure the school is. They host rock concerts at their facilities......something extremist sects of Christianity would NEVER NEVER do, let alone build a roller coaster. The teachings of Jerry Falwell? some of them are out there, but not all are. I'm curious as to what makes you think is bad about his theology. (not trying to start an argument, just want to see other peoples views. ie: jamesdillaman ) As far as discipline goes..ie: getting trouble for watching r rated movies, being alone with the same sex etc, yes they have a strict code of conduct there, but it is NOT , I repeat NOT forced upon them. They have to sign it to gain admission to the school. They don't have to attend there, it's their own choice, they have to abide by the rules.

I could be wrong, too But I still don't think CC is going anywhere

Unknown to many, Hershey already owns a drop tower. It's just in storage. It is not a large one, so I don't see it going in at Hersheypark. dutch wonderland maybe. My first speculation would be to expand the boardwalk. it is immensely popular, but very crowded. They had talked about expanding it in the past, so it certainly is a possibility. I do not think they will replace coal cracker. It is an old ride, but very reliable and takes over a million riders a year. After seeing pics of them refurbing the drop, it shows that they are willing to put the money in to maintaining it.

Great Pics!! OH LOOK!!! A hybrid double chain lift!!!

No prob nat. See you on the 24th!

did anyone catch to see if the last bit of track into the station was complete yet? In the areal photos they're not

I never said the cobra was finished. I just said it was VISIBLE. geez peeps. Cut me some slack

Just so you didn't think I was crazy: [/img] FH WEB CAM WITH COBRA

I checked the webcam earlier today and the cobra was present in the pic. somehow it's moved back to the original position. Sorry about that

You can see the cobra clearly in the webcam now
