I don't remember hearing anything other than it is being delayed.

Please excuse the temporary closure of this thread while I clean up the immature bullshit of the past 2 days. Please be mature enough to not pile on to minor arguments on escalate them any further. If I send you a PM please read it, thank you.

What are the chances that they announce at Coastin by the Ocean that they will finally be building the wooden coaster between the piers? That would make me return to Morey Piers.

Beech Bend and Bay Beach are the only amusement parks I have seen the SCAT ride.

I'll be at the park from 6:30 on tonight. Better said I'll be riding El Toro, Nitro and Justice League.

That's a shame about the Pretzel. It was running well with all stunts in 2015. Another member said some of the stunts weren't working last year, I guess they have just let it slide a little more.

When traveling across multiple states check out the price heat map on gasbuddy.com. You don't need to use it to find the cheapest place (although you could) but you want to know ahead of time when you pass state lines and gas prices jump by 40-50 cents per gallon.

OK, looks like they originally blocked the path between the 77-78 seasons with trees and the path has never been open since. Not that walking through the arcade takes much extra time.

I recall that the path was open before the paintball building was built. Then again I might be thinking about before the Boardwalk area even existed. Now, I have some research to do.

If I recall correctly, the big knock on the Super Loops were that they were similar to a carnival ride. What carnival ride does Skywarp mirror. I'll suspend judgement not just until the announcement but until after I ride it.

Fell free to discuss in the SEAS corporate thread HERE

^Based on the tenor of your writing it sounds like you should return to SFDK.

With El Toro there are places for people exiting the ride to cut the line and get right back on line without walking back to the entrance. If you do not have a ticket because you entered in the wrong place you don't have a ticket to even hand the ticket taker. So you do prevent this abuse of the system.

Apex Parks Group Launches New Oktoberfest, Halloween Horror Events, Reciprocal 2018 Season Pass Program And All Season Dining Aug. 4, 2017, 01:18 PM ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Aug. 4, 2017 /CNW/ -- Apex Parks Group has announced the launch of new Oktoberfest and Halloween Horror events to take place at their parks nationwide as well as a new program that offers Season Pass holders free admission to all 16 Apex parks.

Legoland New York takes another huge step towards realization. The town of Goshen's planning board approved a zoning exemption for Legoland as a "commercial recreation facility" to bypass a long-standing law against amusement parks in Goshen. http://www.recordonline.com/news/20170803/goshen-planning-board-oks-zoning-for-legoland-theme-park Goshen Planning Board OKs zoning for Legoland theme park By Richard J. Bayne Times Herald-Record Posted Aug 3, 2017 at 11:46 PM Updated Aug 3, 2017 at 11:46 PM GOSHEN — The proposed $500 million Legoland New York theme park took another step forward Thursday when the town planning board voted its OK of a local law that would permit what the town is calling a “commercial recreation facility” on the site where Legoland’s developer wants to build. The vote was 5-0 with one planning board member, Diana Lupinski, recusing herself. Thursday’s planning board vote approving a zoning exception constituted a recommendation to the town board, which has the power to make that change. The town has a law on the books that prohibits amusement parks. For the project to proceed, the town board would have to grant the exception for Legoland. It would also have to approve a zoning overlay to permit commercial development. Some in the town, including planning board Chairman Lee Bergus, have argued that the proposed Legoland park wouldn’t fit his definition of an amusement park, because it would be geared to children ages 2-12. “By my definition, it’s not an amusement park,” Bergus said in a telephone interview before Thursday’s meeting. “It isn’t a Six Flags, it isn’t a circus. It’s a recreation theme park, and that’s what they’re doing.” On Thursday, town attorney Richard Golden said he’s been trying to find out exactly how that amusement park prohibition came about in Goshen. The measure the planning board approved included a provision adding 100 feet of buffer in a perimeter around the 522-acre site. Merlin Entertainments, Legoland’s developer, wants to build the park on 150 acres of a 522-acre site off Harriman Drive, near Route 17′s Exit 125. The park, which would draw up to 2.5 million annual visitors, has been controversial in the town. The proposal has pitted economic development proponents against opponents concerned about traffic, quality-of-life, water and environmental issues. Thursday’s session came the day before the town planning board’s deadline for the public to submit comments on Legoland’s Final Environmental Impact Statement, which the planning board accepted July 20. That deadline for comments is 5 p.m. Friday, as the planning board moves to the next phase in the state-mandated review — a Findings Statement. The address for Town Hall is 41 Webster Ave. in Goshen. The planning department’s email address is nhalloran@townofgoshen.org. On Thursday, Bergus said the Findings Statement could be ready as soon as Aug. 17. That Findings Statement would list any measures Legoland must take to mitigate any potential negative effects identified in the environmental review process. Once the town board finishes its work, the focus would shift back to the planning board, which would then move toward site plan approval and permits. Pending approvals, Merlin would like to start construction this year and open the park in 2019.

What problem did you have with the restraints?

I really wanted to visit House on the Rock during my Chicago based trip two weeks ago, but the time needed and cost to explore all parts of the house made me decide against it. I could have done just the small tour,but I know that would have had me wanting more, that I didn't have time for.

I rode Gale Force yesterday and loved it. I think there is still a little misalignment where the initial problem existed, since I felt a little bump there twice. Boy, are they nazis about loose items. First they told me to put all keys and metals objects in a bin, then they said put everything in a bin. When I asked they OK with my wallet, cash ride tickets staying in a zippered pocket, but not with my spare change and plastic cards in a zippered pocket. The gentlemen told me they did not want to be responsible for holding anything of value. Wild Waves was not open, I asked a few workers and none recall it running with passengers this season. Then again some did not realize the difference between the two coaster tracks.

If you think soggy and doughy are amazing, then you are correct.

^I hear what you are saying but am confident that the rides get the proper maintenance, as time someone visits the park a few rides are down and it is not always the same rides. I think the park keeping only night time hours on most weekdays shows that the owner is in touch with the needs of her clientele.

Thanks, can you post a few pictures with the update?

From a 2014 article 5) Yes, there have been plenty of offers to buy Lakeside/develop the property... and no, owner Rhoda Krasner is not interested Owner Rhoda Krasner is notoriously uninterested in selling the property or partnering with an investor to put money into "fixing it up." The beauty of Lakeside may be in the eye of the beholder, but anyone who visits the park and gets its old-school charm knows the park is fine just the way it is. Krasner has been known to say that part of the reason she hasn't struck a deal is because she wishes to stick by her father Ben's original intent of keeping the park affordable to all
