Thanks for redirecting my post. There are just so many rules to keep up with here.

From Screamscape: "Speculation - (11/10/08) A reader tells us that the latest edition of Ace News mentions that Cedar Point, “still hasn’t made it official, but expect an epic flume ride from Intamin which will surely boast world records of some kind.” While I haven’t heard a peep myself lately and the Intamin connection is almost surprising since Knott’s is said to be considering removing Perilous Plunge (Intamin), this does make sense. Back in late 2005 when White Water Landing was removed the park did mention that they were looking into some new flume ride designs for a future project."

I found an article about this: Arizona's Governor, State Legislature approve new Rock n' Roll themer(July 1, 2008) Decades Music Theme Park, a plan years in the making, got the final nod needed from the State of Arizona to turn the massive theme park into reality. Governor Janet Napolitano's approval late this past Friday, following the State Senate's days earlier, allows for the creation of a "regional attraction district" between Phoenix and Tucson in Eloy, Arizona. The legislation authorizes up to $750 million in new bonds to pay for project costs. The State of Arizona's legislation follows that of South Carolina's which helped make possible the $450 million Hard Rock Park that opened earlier this year in Myrtle Beach. "Thanks to Republican and Democrat leadership in Arizona we have a tremendous framework and financing mechanism to bring a dynamic new attraction to one of the country's great tourism markets. Arizona is the largest market in the country without a theme park and we aim to change that," Decades Founders Marty West and Greg Sherman said. West and Sherman are in negotiations with the following companies and individuals, among others, to play roles in the project: * Fender Musical Instruments Corporation: The iconic brand of guitars, amplifiers, and all things rock-n-roll since 1946. Worldwide headquarters are located in Scottsdale. * Danny Zelisko: currently serves as the head of Live Nation Arizona and has been the top concert promoter in Arizona for the past three decades. * Chicago-based Golub & Company: active in Arizona real estate for several years where they were most recently involved with the development of the Scottsdale Waterfront project. They have significant holdings in the Chicago market including some of the community's signature properties. * Phil Ehart: drummer, a founding member and manager for the rock band Kansas. * Peter Alexander: a theme park veteran from his work with Universal Studios Florida, Disney Tokyo and Epcot, has already agreed to be Decades' CEO. West and Sherman said the project team will now work on forming the theme park district, raising additional capital and begin more significant work on the project's design. They are hopeful of opening the park in 2012. For more, visit: www.decadesusa.com. They have a website up. Check it out.

Mean Streak

I've only been to WDW so... Splash Mountain Tower of Terror Everest

I liked the Smurf dark ride when it was at Kings Island. Mostly for sentimental reasons. I also like a bunch down in Orlando- The Cat in the Hat, Spiderman and many more. The new one at the Hard Rock Park looks pretty cool- the acid trip one

I love coasters but I also love dark rides and being able to chill out a bit out of the Sun's sight and take it easy. One of my favorites was the Smurf dark ride that Kings Island use to have. Mostly for sentimental reasons. Also I like a multitude of dark rides in Orlando such as The Cat in the Hat, Spiderman, and many others. I also think the dark ride at Hard Rock Park looks cool. The acid trip one- the name escapes me. What about you guys? Ever exchange the extreme coasters in for a minute and enjoy a dark ride.

I have spent a lot of time at Cedar Point and every time I'm there Top Thrill Dragster is lined way up and broke most of the day. I can not count the number of times it has broke while I was getting up close in line. So its frustration factor makes it one of the worst. Also, the Mean Streak hurts. Also, I agree with one of the first posts. The coaster at NY-NY in Vegas not that good. However the one at the Sahara in Vegas was fun. I think it was Speed the Ride.

A friend and I were riding Gemini at Cedar Point and while we were going up the lift-hill a man riding with his kid reached over to high five people in our train. As he got to my friend- my friend said "excuse me sir I would rather touch myself." This still makes me pee a little bit thinking about it. It was around eight years ago.
