Apparently someone got it in a "random email" ... You know the people here at TPR sure aren't as "noobish" as those CWMania people are! What's even worse too is that it's their home park and they are discussing random garbage.
Unfortunately, CWMania is plagued by idiot trolls because our admins and mods (*cough* Dan and Jen *cough*) have no metaphorical balls. A lot of the newer members are the idiots who are only staying around for the announcement and then will loose interest; I'd advise you pay no attention to them.
I asure you that our senior members are much more intelligent.

Those pictures are very cool! I wanted to do that with my waterproof camera, but never really had the weather or the time on my side before I left.

On an unrelated note, Windseeker was closed for much of the day, at first due to technical issues, then due to high winds. I guess if they know there's high winds, they don't really need to seek them...
I know it seems a tad ironic, but it really is wise of the park. Guests would not be very happy riding it in high winds, due to some issues with the prototype.
On a more related note, I wasn't stating that all Intamins have any spectacularly high amount of downtime... As someone mentioned earlier, Canada's Wonderland can't afford another Windseeker disaster (if you'd call it that).

I think a Dive Machine over 90 metres would be an amazing feat for B&M, but that said I still can't see it happening. I think we'd be lucky to even get any coaster over 90 metres.
I actually think I'd enjoy an Intamin, but CW's attendance is much too high to make up for much downtime. I guess we'll have to wait for the announcement, but I hope it's something that makes it worth coming back to my home park next year!

Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland;
last day of the season, in good old Canadian flurries!

I HAVE TAKEN NORTH KOREA AND SHELLED THE SOUTH!
I SHALL BRING THEM TO SUBMISSION, AND MANY DONATION!

^ Exactly! That being why they wanted the best crews to operate the ride... it needed a lot of throughput (and still does).

Anyone at the park lately notice a major clearing by Mantis's staircase up to the station and by Iron Dragon, it just happened in the past week and its very strange, any one know why?
Actually, I did notice that when I was at the park (July 9th), but I was unaware it was anything new... I just figured it was an ugly area of the park.
I'd love to hear an explanation for that as well!

^ Pre-Behemoth, Canada's Wonderland had their best ride ops working on Vortex. These so-called ride ops now belong to Behemoth

I don't think it's all that necessary for loops to evolve into something smoother, B&M loops seem good enough to me.
Then again, this is coming from a guy who put's Mean Streak in his top 10.

Oh yes! That looks AMAZING.
Best part is, I'm supposed to be moving to Beijing next summer... maybe I'll get a chance to ride this beast!

Is there anything like this for Busch Gardens Africa?
- MixedDrink

^^ Yeah, and then they will piss at the GP for not knowing any better. Most people would think, hey its camcorder day!

^ Possibly! I think 300 feet of lift hill stairs is pretty ridiculous, personally I doubt they will use stairs for evacuation and maintenance purposes.

Back when I was scared of Roller Coasters, I missed all of the credits at Busch Gardens minus Gwazi:Lion.

Honestly, I don't see the hype for Coaster. It looks okay.. I mean yeah its an ACE coaster classic... but Scooby Doo was for god sake!

I've on Xtreme Skyflyer here at Canada's Wonderland. Its worth it the first time, as re-stated several times by others.. but I found the drop much better than on drop tower. I had nothing to hold on to, it felt like I was just falling. In my opinion, Skycoasters and Drop towers are completely different experiences, the vest feels like clothing vs the seats that feel like... seats.
At the CF Parks if you ride alone it'll cost you 2-3 times more than it does if you have friends, so I'd just try and find two random people to split the bill.
At $22.50, I regret nothing. However, hell if I'll ever spend that money again.

Ford, where you know what you are buying because so many other parks have a similar ride made by the same company.
I think thats more of a comparison to Vekoma.

I find out later I was charged 5 cents for the thin plastic bag that probably cost the store one one-hundredth of that . I guess that’s par for the course in a socialist wacko country
Socialist Wacko Country eh? Dick move! Our grocery stores are just, ahem.. "Concerned about the environment".

^ I never knew that!
I figured it was GASM.

Interesting! Wow, six flags can really not afford for them to win.

Wild Beast and Mighty Canadian Minebuster are both horrific.

Per my visit next year, I shall refuse to refer to this ride as it's proper name. I will call it "Behemoth 2: Electric Boogaloo" (thanks Cheese!) and nothing else.
