Conspiracy theory: It was Lee Earl Ray Booth Elvis of Wales, on the grassy knoll, with the candlestick.

As Bruce Willis once sang on SNL: Deeeeeeepends adult massive diapers, ya drip from your can man man man maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

I loved the animals. The animal side was looking a bit ragged, but the shows were great. I thought the bird show was amazing. I can see why Cf didn't want to deal with animals as they are more expensive to maintain over time than any coaster. I just found it hard to believe that 6F sold it so soon after they invested so much money into it. I've been to GL twice since the CF buyout. Under 6F we went about 16 times a season, and in the last two years, mostly for the animal shows. The shows never got boring. There's no comparison btwn the MetroParks Zoo and SW/6FWOA. They were two totally differant things. (the penguins had a nicer area at SW though.)

You say tomato and I'll say oranges. Some coasters i like and i say why i like them. Some coasters, IMO, suck and i say why i think that. People are people.

I went by GL last weekend and didn't them doing anything to Villain. Maybe they're just planning on taking it down to move it elsewhere.

No More Tears over high ticket prices. It's about time!

What a website! That got us all laughing here. thanks. Increase Morale! Save Time! lol

^True, but she sure was efficient. Talk about calculating, by not having to make rest stops, she'd eliminate any possible chance of being witnessed during her cross-country trek.

You got seven inches in Cincy? How'd we miss that?

LOL, Wally! Astronauts have been using diapers since the Second Mercury mission. During a long hold, astronaut Sheppard took a leak in his spacesuit. Tripped every bio-sensor. lol I bet the cops had a field day searching her and finding it though.

Six flags spoiled me with WOA. 5 coasters in 2 years. One's gone and another is leaving. Next year, who knows. Maybe MIA will get Gl's Mind Eraser.

yeah, this will make a great mini series. Adjust font size: ORLANDO, Florida (CNN) -- Astronaut Lisa Nowak is free on bond and in seclusion after appearing in court to face charges including the attempted murder of a romantic rival. NASA and Nowak's family, meanwhile, are expressing shock and asking the public to withhold judgment. Nowak on Tuesday posted a $10,000 bond on the attempted murder charge. The 43-year-old earlier in the day had posted a $15,500 bond on charges of attempted kidnapping, battery and attempted burglary of a car with battery. As a condition of her release, Nowak was ordered to wear a global positioning satellite device, known as a GPS. Nowak was mobbed by the media after her court appearances and walked through the throng with a jacket over her head. Nowak, a Navy captain, is accused of accosting Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman, 30, in the parking lot of Orlando International Airport early Monday and spraying her with pepper spray. She told police she only wanted to talk with Shipman. Nowak and Shipman were both "in a relationship" with Navy Cmdr. Bill Oefelein, another astronaut, according to a police report of the incident. Nowak told police her relationship with Oefelein was "more than a working relationship and less than a romantic relationship." (Watch how police say a NASA love triangle went awry ) Shipman has filed for a restraining order on Nowak in Brevard County, where Shipman lives and works, according to a copy of the order on the county's Web site. In the paperwork for the order, Shipman said that Nowak had been stalking her for the past two months. A hearing for the order is scheduled for February 20. Nowak, a married mother of three, made both of her court appearances shackled and wearing a dark-colored jumpsuit. In the afternoon session, for the attempted murder charge, she kept her eyes straight ahead. (Watch a shackled Nowak bow her head as attorneys discuss her bail with the judge ) Her attorney, Donald Lykkebak, argued the judge should not find probable cause for the attempted murder charge because it was based on the same incident as the original charges. And he accused Orlando police of wanting a "second bite of the apple." Nowak's supervisor at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, retired Air Force Col. Steve Lindsey, testified at her morning court appearance. Lindsey -- who was the commander of Nowak's shuttle flight last year -- assured the judge that Nowak would not have contact with Shipman or have any need to travel to Patrick Air Force Base, where Shipman works, or nearby Kennedy Space Center. (Watch what it takes to become an astronaut ) NASA grounds Nowak Michael Coates, director of NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, later issued a statement saying Nowak "is officially on 30-day leave and has been removed from flight status and all mission-related activities." "We are deeply saddened by this tragic event. The charges against Lisa Nowak are serious ones that must be decided by the judicial system," the statement said. Nowak's family is declining media interviews but released a statement from their home in Rockville, Maryland. "We are naturally saddened and extremely concerned about the serious allegations being made against Lisa. We love her very much, and right now, our primary focus is on her health and well-being," the family's statement said. "Lisa is an extremely caring and dedicated mother to her three children. She has been married for 19 years, although she and her husband had separated a few weeks ago," the statement said. "Considering both her personal and professional life, these alleged events are completely out of character and have come as a tremendous shock to our family," the statement said. "We hope that the public will keep an open mind about what the facts will eventually show and that the legal system will be allowed to run its course." Hotel stays under an assumed name According to the arresting affidavits, Nowak drove from Houston to Orlando after discovering Shipman's flight plans on Oefelein's computer. She printed out detailed maps for the trip, which were found in her car during a police search, along with handwritten directions to Shipman's home. En route, she paid cash for hotel stays and registered under an assumed name. Once in Orlando, according to the arresting affidavits, Nowak followed Shipman from the airport to her car in a satellite parking lot, where the confrontation took place about 3:45 a.m. Wearing a wig and glasses, Nowak approached Shipman as she got into her car and told her Nowak's boyfriend had not shown up to pick her up and she needed a ride. Shipman refused, saying she would send help instead. When Nowak complained she couldn't hear Shipman and started to cry, Shipman opened her car window "about two inches" -- and Nowak sprayed pepper spray into the car, police said. Shipman drove away and found police, who located Nowak at a bus stop. They also found a wig and a plastic bag containing a carbon dioxide-powered BB pistol in a nearby trash can, the report said. Inside a bag Nowak was carrying, the officer found a tan trench coat, a new steel mallet, a new folding knife with a 4-inch blade, 3 to 4 feet of rubber tubing, several large plastic garbage bags and about $600 in cash, the report said. Nowak admitted the details of Shipman's story, according to the police report, and permitted a search of her car. Inside the car, police found an a half dozen latex gloves, MapQuest directions from Houston to Orlando International Airport, e-mails from Shipman to Oefelein, diapers Nowak said she wore to reduce stops along the highway and a letter indicating how much she loved Oefelein. It is standard procedure for astronauts to wear diapers when they suit up for launch and re-entry. Nowak, who has been an astronaut since 1996, flew her first shuttle mission last July, serving as a mission specialist aboard the Discovery. Oefelein, 41, was the pilot of the most recent shuttle mission, also aboard Discovery, which flew in December 2006. After Tuesday's court appearance, Lindsey said he was there to support Nowak "like we would any employee at NASA if they were to get into this situation." "We're a close family and we try to take care of our own," he added.

...and I even like the snow.

PKD just got IJ in 06 PCW got IJ in 05 Dorney got Hydra in 05 The others I can see your point. MIA really needs a coaster. They haven't gotten one since 1999!!! Send them one of GL's, they've got plenty. Back the truck up!

^they get a good price on the color. Ask Sherwin Williams.... boooo

The color looks good. ChickenHawk might look good there after all.

^Big signs that say: This Space For Rent! It's probably going to be an extensionof the former waterpark. It'll just sort of rot there for the next 5 years.

I wonder what kind of ad's the're going to run for it? The Almost New X-FlightHawk, here at CFPKI! Second hand from Cleveland! The Slightly Used X-Hawk! Hundreds and Hundreds Served! FireHawk: Right from the Abyss of Cleveland! New at CFPKI! It didn't work there. will it work Here?

Maybe they'll just move Villain too. Somebody just back up the truck! Improvements? Bulldoze the ride side, sell the land for an old-age home or assisted living facility, or better yet, another mall and put more water park stuff on the old Animal-side just so it can be open 2-3 months out of every twelve.

^Wow, you're having a heatwave! We hit like -4 last night, not including a windchill.

New rule may kill park land sale By Jane Smith 02/06/07 — SUMMIT TOWNSHIP — The future of Conneaut Lake Park appears to lie in the hands of the Summit Township Board of Supervisors. A rule the supervisors recently established may scuttle the proposed sale of 3.3 acres of park land. The sale is considered key for the park’s future — it’s expected to raise the money the park needs to open this year and erase much, if not all, of the park’s debt. Supervisors last summer adopted an ordinance prohibiting more than six condominiums on one acre with a three-acre minimum area in business and residential zoning districts. However, Conneaut Lake resident Greg Sutterlin had submitted a bid to buy 3.3 acres of land at Conneaut Lake Park and construct 30 condominiums on the site, which is 10 per acre. He plans to erect units with 30 condominiums on the site which once was the Flynn House and adjacent parking lot. However, under the ordinance, he would need at least five acres of land. He’s 1.7 acres short. “I need to get a variance” from the Summitt supervisors, Sutterlin said, noting “20 condos for the amount of money I’m investing is not economically feasible.” He said it’s not just the cost of the land, but the additional expenses of engineering studies and surveys and construction that have to be added. Without the variance to allow him to build 30 condos, Sutterlin said he’s not certain he can move forward with his plan to purchase the land. Plans were to sell the property to help pay off the park’s $2.1 million debt and have sufficient revenues to open the park this summer. “We are trying to make it happen. We definitely want to get the park open,” said Sutterlin. Supervisors meet today at 7 p.m. at the township building, but there is no formal vote advertised on a variance request. The 115-year-old amusement park came under court jurisdiction after it was declared a charitable trust following a lawsuit by a former member of the Trustees of Conneaut Lake Park. The park was deeded to the trustees by former park owner/operator Gary Harris to be held in trust for the residents of northwestern Pennsylvania.

On a warm, humid day, say out loud: Dang! Smell that! Some chicks got a nasty yeast infection!

i agree with Ted. I think if things keep going the way they are, there will be a draft out of necessity. As far as dodging to Canada, Wait a few years and just go visit it without a passport. You won't be able to come back. Or fly there now without one.

Firehawk????? Something about the color scheme doesn't make me think of "FIREHAWK!!!!". I hope the damn thing rusts solid on them! (sour apples??? you betcha.)
