^ 8 hours for Maverick? Uh no. 45 minutes was long enough.

^ If so, send us: Millennium Force, Dominator or Renegade.

Are we quoting the Rolling Stones now? Robb, you give me hope for fitting in those crazy creations. If you guys can, then surely I can. lol I was going to get my first toboggan credit this year, but sadly Conneaut bit the dust before I could get there.

^ I've heard the same thing as well. I really hope it comes to Carowinds. I've heard some talk that Super Saturator might be going back to Setpoint for some reason. No word still on what they are using that space for. Maybe Disaster Transport is moving south.

You guys are no fun. Plus, i was kidding.

Greatest TR ever!!! LOL that takes me back to the old school days on TN. I propose that all PTRs must now include at least 3 MS Paint pics.

Actually it worked sometimes when we were there in June, but I think they had turned off the alarm. Only the red lights would come on. The end of Noah's Ark, Michael Jackson comes out and tries to pull you into his bed! Noah's Ark was a very nice surprise. I really loved it, Phantom and Thunderbolt. Too bad the place was packed, I needed Phantom Jr in order to make Phantom my #150. I wasn't going to stand in line an hour for Phantom Jr. Oh well, Griffon got that spot. Cool report hummel boy. Two words though describe the best thing at Kennywood.... PATCH FRIES!!!

Hopefully you didn't have to pay $6 to ride it like a certain Python Pit in Virginia. (I passed)

That's one of the coolest shots I've seen of Millie! Do you have a high res you could share?

Wow, the new World of Coca Cola is amazing looking. I loved the old one, but that was probably 10 years ago I saw it. New Coke. Wow that brings back memories. Anyone remember the dreaded Crystal Pepsi? Nice to hear that Cyclone is still a pice of junk. Sad too, it used to be one of my favorite woodies till Six flags let it go all the pieces.

It's amazing how addicting these updates are. I know that sounds silly, but I just love reading them. They always make me smile and laugh out loud. Why is the statue protecting his manhood? Oh wait, look who's next to him.

^^ I have seen it worked on several times and cranes back there working on it. TR is not very likely to be removed since it's still a popular ride. Saturator IS going after Sept 3 I've been told by a person at the park, and no not the dippin' dots guy either.

I imagine that Casey will be finding Not For Sale today and giving him the Ryan treatment. Oh and this pic made me laugh so hard yesterday at work.

Did Zombie Ted attack Erik or something?

Looks like you had fun! It's not fair you're 5 minutes from Phantom.

What. No Scat 2 pics? I'm so dissapointed! Rumbler is a great ride. Easily jumped into my top 10 list last year. I want a GCII at Carowinds.

Hey guys, I totally forgot that i had bit of footage of Dolly from the opening, so I went ahead and uploaded it to the first post if you want to check it out!

This is a rumor I guess, but I know the source and it's very reliable... Anyway, they are saying that Nickelodeon Super Saturator is being pulled out after Labor Day. No word on what will replace it and if they will scrap the coaster or move it to another CF property. Hopefully the later. Geauga Lake could use it. They can send us Dominator in trade.

^ yeah, I'll buy stock in that...not. On the Carowinds front, a little birdie is saying that Super Saturator's last day will be Sept. 3. No idea what they will do with the space. I hope NOT a water park expansion. They just did that last year!!!

Hope it's not 100 degrees out there like it was last summer. Have fun guys. Can't wait for the next installment. Robb, do you ever work?

Actually I think most parks evac from the back of the train first. But as I've never worked at a park, I don't know that for sure. The title of this thread is kinda funny to me. I could write a thread called "My Almost Deadly Trip to Work!" I was never in danger, but it's more dramatic! After several viewings of the video, I still don't see that the front restrains were up at all (any of them). So I don't think anyone was in any real danger, except the worker.

For those that didn't get to see it: http://www.hln.be/hlns/cache/det/art_540772.html?wt.bron=homeArt1

I should have mentioned earlier as well, they both came from the Myrtle Beach Pavilion. The jr swings were from there too, not that any of us can ride them.

I've visited the place like 3 times and every time the coaster is broken. Are the Gravitron and Tilt a Whirl operating yet?

Looks like a great ride, thanks for the updates. Too bad I won't be in TX anytime soon. Enjoy your new coaster guys!
