Great report, Goliath is definitely on my bucket list!

Everything.

It was definitely a hidden gem.

My guess is an Intamin Skyjump thats 207 feet tall. The one is dropping in the clue so thats my guess.

I drink Yuengling every now and then. As a home brewer I enjoy seeing how the professionals get it done. Especially Yuengling, a company that has been doing it forever

This is an interesting development. Adding the tower to Midway America would make sense, they really have been building up that area the past 10 years.

Yea, that would actually be really creepy, Knoebels is really in such a remote spot. Its crazy.

^ I can understand that. I can see Knoebels being bery creepy at night time with that music. Like a nightmare.

QFT If I ever win lotto a Batman Clone is more than likely going on a property I own.

I can understand people want more unique experiences. 4 Batman clones near you is an awful lot. Even though I think my homw park (Great Adventure) should have two Batman clones. I'd be fine if they threw another one in Green Lantern's spot.

Well bless my privately owned mom and pop store sole, I was not ready for the harsh realities of corperate life.

That statement of "Every park that doesn't have a custom invert should have a Batman Clone", I could agree with...Every. Day. Of. The. Damn. Week.

Its just crazy to me how in the planning nobody in the room said, "Hey maybe we should make this viable for expansion at some point in the future." I understand that with finances a large new expansion of a *brand new* area isn't happening anytime soon, but I also guess they aren't too concerned with the future. Besides everyone knows the next area up for refurbishment is Old Country. My question with that is will they keep the Old Country theming or just take a new route?

This one actually had many snack stands located in the old buildings to purchase food like ice cream etc.

Pretty amazing right? And no problem from one history buff to another.

Well, you kinda have with joker . . . True, I never looked at Joker in that light.

We will be there for the twilight ticket. Im looking forward to the flats collection.

I don't think he meant abandoned B&M in general, just the Wing-Rider design. I've never been on one, but it seems as if the industry was not all to crazy about Wing-Riders. If we were ever to see a Wing-Rider at Great Adventure I'd hope to see a launched Intamin one like Furious Baco.

Inverts are far and away my favorite B&M coaster design, followed by Dive Machines. I prefer Talon to great bear because Talon just feels like a more complete ride. Great Bear started out great but definitely fizzles out towards the end with a lot of meandering. As mentioned before Talon is intense and re-ridable, which is a great combo. Having been on 7 Inverts including two of the best B&M has to offer (Alpie and Mountu), I can say there is no truly "bad" B&M invert.

It is hard trying to plan trips not based around going to parks I must agree, but I've learned to balance things out perfectly. I'm huge history buff so planning trips at parks near historical spots etc is always a huge plus. Also planning trips that includes is a nice zoo is great too. Cause who doesn't enjoy a nice zoo.

I mean I don't see why they couldn't add a drop tower without converting the Kiss Tower. Drop towers usually have small footprints anyway. Im guessing it will be some type of Intamin drop tower. Knoebels has a Larson Arm and Dorney has S&S as well as Demon Drop.

Check and Check. The indoor scrambler intrigues me. The flume looks interesting as well.

I'm planning on taking a visit up to Canobie Lake this summer, any do's or don'ts I should follow? I'm very excited for Yankee Cannonball and Untamed.
