Awesome. I always wondered why SFMM hadn't done the same as Dreamworld and added a drop tower to their existing structure. I rode The Giant Drop at Dreamworld when I was a lot younger, but apparently age has chipped away at my nerve and on my recent trip I chickened out of riding it. Looking forward to this SFMM addition, and hopefully I'll be brave enough to ride it

Thankyou so much for posting this! I used to live in Adelaide, and this was my first ever credit. Didn't know it was powered, I guess I was too young to even comprehend it. I think I'll make an exception and count this one I remember we went to the park the week it closed. I'd always been too short for the ride and I used to cry every time I got measured. The day I was tall enough was a few days before it closed for good I remember there was also a ghost train... I've only got vague child memories about it, though. No idea what it was really like. Does anyone know anything about it? Any pictures or anything would blow my mind. Oh, man, Dazzleland! I used to play in the ball pit while my mum had lunch.

Nothing is too inane to complain about in this business -
NEWS: Six Flags launches official blog
stuartnz replied to jedimaster1227's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I like it. Plenty of pop-culture references to keep my rotting teenage brain occupied! But seriously, I'm glad they've started this. I always enjoyed reading the Cedar Point blogs. -
"it would be much more appreciated at a smaller park", I agree...so why did it go to SFMM? To tie CP... Oh, I definitely agree that it's not in the same league as other rides at MM. I know what you mean, I just meant as someone whose closest park is 4 hours away and its star attraction is an Arrow corkscrew... I die a little inside when people say Scream is a bad ride

TPR's 2011 Trips Questionnaire!
stuartnz replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I put down Australia trip as my first choice, and Road to Cedar Point as my second choice, but only because it's a lot more likely I'll be able to go on the Australia trip. I think I might pass on the trip to New Zealand though -

That's exactly it, minus the folding chairs.
