How about Fahrenfright? I think it's a little unnecessary for HP to change their rides' names for Halloween. Just my opinion. changing the signs is when it gets a little unnecessary. I'll surely head up there sometime tho, nothing like rollbacks on Storm Runner!!!! (true story,) or riding everything in sweatshirts. And it's impossible for a park like Hershey to stay open 365 days. You can not justify staffing 300+ people (guessing) and scheduling them when you dont even know the weather. And no ones going to work if they just say if it snows then we don't open. And staffing 300 people when the weather is 40 degrees and raining and maybe 5 people show up to the park is pointless. It's also a perfect time for construction and the rides to get all their security checks done.

chances are you won't have to get off of Led Zep, at all really. ha

the park just doesn't have enough rides to justify the ticket price. If tickets were 20 bucks, no one would be complaining about the coaster selection. But I can ride 11 coasters, ~10 flats, and visit a sizeable waterpark at Hersheypark for less then i'd pay at Hard Rock Park.

Man, i want some in-depht PTR's of the construction. People will visit it, but more people would visit it in a place like NYC or Hollywood or the Grand Canyon (ha). I just don't see what's so interesting to look at around Orlando. Maybe we can all have a picnic on it or something.

this could easilly lead us down that ugly road talking about racism and what people really mean when they call the place "ghetto". *shrug* most the time I have a great time at the park. Add in some decent attractions and recruit enough employs to properly staff the park every day and you'll see things looking great there. Amen, there are some world class rides there. It's just the worst theme park atmosphere ever. Concrete, hot, 10 minuets to dispatch one train on Batwing, and bad employees. And burned buildings sitting around aparently. The rides make the visit worth it, but once im done riding them there's no reason for me to be there, and the atmosphere doesn't make me want to come back as much as say go to another park.

the website is pretty awesome i must say. Phelps is well on his way to the record.

Haha, shows how much I know... Or how little the tv station here is actually showing. My bad Undersood, it isn't a big sport at all in Europe, but everywhere else it is. It's very popular in central and south america, along with asia and stuff.

Smith FTW! There should be four medals awarded: gold for first, silver for second, bronze for third, and plywood for Canadian. Dan "Tied for 41st with zero medals!" Smith Are the summer olypics even on tv up in canada? -Lance "Kyrgyzstan has a medal now, but not Canada, but we can all wait to the winter olympics" Lundy

that was awesome having that model at the release. Nice TR!

Orlando? Lame. Could you like see the Gulf and Atlantic Ocean at the same time? Still Lame.

Ah i have tons of those on VHS lol. I was watching them, the days where "Hypersonic XLC was the biggest and baddest ride to ever hit Kings Dominion, and would be a great coaster for ages to come" There's a whole segment on it and it's gone already.

Ha, you guys think the park is dead now, just wait until winter when not a sole is on the beaches. Them staying open over the winter is a stupid idea in my opinion. It's summer when kids are not in school, college kids are home, and families are on vacation. That doesn't happen in the winter. Im surprised this hasn't came up as often. They have to lose a lot more money in the winter then they are now.

I was thinking they didn't care at all.

^ Yeah, it's going to be very tough for the park to keep it up. It's just not time for a new park to be built, considering a high percentage of parks are failing as is. -Lance "agrees with jeff" Lundy

I would say that maybe 13 year olds would watch it and be like "that looks awesome omg we should go there," but what 13 year olds watch the Travel Channel? Travel Channels highest percentage of viewers is of retired people, and im sure these shows don't interest them. Maybe they just make shows like this to try and interest a younger generation, but it doesn't make a ton of sense. This is probably why we haven't seen any since like 02-03. Ha
