Take the shaft!

What's the general consensus on betting at Springfield downs? It seems to be a losing proposition.

They are a bit slow in the brain. I say in 3 years SFMM will get the same trains SDL has and put OTSRs on them. Or, they will get SDL's old trains and put OTSRs on them! Fixed.

Your soul.

Too bad Chris wasn't there with you at the visitor's center construction tour to ask if that is the real space shuttle.

I'm pretty confident that just about anyone will have figured out the dynamics of the ride about 1/2 way through the ride cycle. Don't overcomplicate it.

Maybe you need new friends?

I see what you did there.

They went past the point of diminishing returns in terms of coasters a long, long, time ago. Personally, I'm not going to get too bent out of shape if Jet Stream leaves, as long as it's replaced with something better. Oh wait... This is SFMM we're talking about. SAVE TEH JET STRAEM!!!

A ride along these lines would be great for a park like Gilroy Gardens. It would be seen by their target audience as a HUGE ride compared to the rest of their offerings, and still deliver a tame enough ride experience to not scare said audience away from it.

That could be an ad for the park, except that it's far too accurate for SF to ever consider using it.

I miss Jay Thomas...

Wiener looping opened in Vienna Austria. Germans, and Austrians, do not call the city of Vienna by the same name we do. They call it Wein. Does that help it make more sense to you?

I find it somewhat ironic that the lawyer's statement included the phrase, "on the other hand".

Here you go:

I don't get why the straight section of track was blocked out of previous images. Their big secret was "absolutely nothing"... Really? Seriously, I don't get why they'd try to keep "nothing" a secret. Am I missing something here?
