Wait a minute! Who said TG was gonna be torn down and replaced with a clone of another coaster? Considering SF's recent trends in rehabbing rides for the better, I can see a complete overhaul of the coaster, maybe by GCI. There's a huge chance that the layout would remain the same as the original although I could see a layout change. Also considering SFOT hasn't recieved a major coaster in a while, I can see this becoming some sort of TG2.

^ There's a 210 foot coaster near the entrance of my homepark and if you're like all the tourists and decide to park in the main parking lot, you literally sit right next to it so I know what you're talking about when it comes down to intimidation. Not to mention I've seen my share of CP entrance shots to know what can fit there and what can't. If I'm not mistaken, a coaster this size of the average modern Dive Machine probably wouldn't fit near the entrance without having to move or demolish some of the rides nearby so the entrance seems highly unlikely for a coaster the size of something like Griffon or SheiKra. An Oblivion-sized DM seems much more feasable. If CP decided to build a coaster near the entrance, I predict a small family coaster. The largest possible coaster that could fit would probably be a GCI.

^ There was a rumor that SFOT would get a new woodie sometime soon. And considering the SFOT is the only original SF park to not recieve a major attraction in recent years, something like that COULD happen.

Dan's Theme Park Artwork Part 3b and 4 I'm gonna post the last of the Grind pictures as well as introduce a brand new park. Music City USA is a fictional theme park build outside of Nashville Tennessee. It is part of an entertainment complex owned by Gaylord Entertainment which consists of an outlet mall, tons of stores, dining, hotels (including one with an indoor waterpark), and a theme park. The park features three major coasters. Delta Demon - GG Woodie Thunder over Nashville - B&M Hyper Soundwave - Vekoma Indoor Spaghetti Bowl as well as a brand new coaster opening this year, Wabash Cannonball 2. (B&M sitdown) Now for the pics... Grind train testing An old construction shot - the outlet mall and a hotel can be seen in the background CB_Splash.bmp The splashdown - the water seems deep but it isn't The entrance with a testing train Cannonball 2's lift hill Thunder from another angle JI1.bmp More Jazz Inferno delivering an acceptable amount of wetness to riders. Another well-themed water ride Grizzly River Toboggan's signature drop Music City's entrance plaza Going into Grind's final brake run. Top Gun/Flight Deck/Falcon can be seen in the background. Grind train in storage - Coaster trains are hard to draw.

That Morning Star looks interesting. Keep up the good work.

There're way too many coasters that end in e and r! Something needs to be done! Rocket

^ So a 310 foot and 420 foot coaster aren't intimidating enough? Even though I've never been to CP before, I don't think its difficult to spot a 300 or 400+ coaster from a couple thousand feet away. And last time I checked, 300-400+ foot tall coasters are pretty intimidating to the GP. So according to my magic Dippin Dots cup, the most likely coasters CP will get next would be... -GCI Woodie -B&M Dive Machine -Some random family coaster -Another possible height/speed record breaker (although not really soon enough) A major water attraction is VERY LIKELY to be built in a number of years as well.

I heard a rumor that HRP was gonna keep the Hard Rock name and that the company purchasing the park actually operated a numbrer of Hard Rock restaraunts. I wasn't sure whether to post this here, or in the HRP thread but since I can't confirm it, I'll post it here.

I like the logo, but the sign on the lift feels strange.

^ Lucky I have to present a presentation tomorrow and I don't feel I'm totally prepared. This past month has been pretty chaotic with all the crap I have to do. Not to mention my grades are fairly poor.

^ Are you sure it won't be called something like SpinHawk or Rotating Garbage Can: The Ride? Actually I remember watching Looney Tunes on Saturday mornings ALL the time!! It was my FAVOIRTE cartoon show EVER! I can also remember when shows like Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, and Tale Spin were brand new as well. If anybody has Dish Network, they still have Nick GAS, which airs classic Nick game shows like Legends of the Hidden Temple, Figure it Out, GUTS, and Get The Picture (except those are pretty much the ONLY shows they air). Even though I'm still too young for the target audience on TV Land, I still find myself watching it sometimes. Nick At Nite probably has more shows I grew up with than TV Land does. And I believe that cars did have the aerodynamics of bricks when I was born. BTW: B&M produced their first coaster the year I was born.

^ That coaster is really coming out nicely. Not to mention the park looks really beautiful.

Orochi or is it Orachi Either way it ends in I.

The update will be a little late since I can't seem to get my scanner up and running. So in the meantime I'll post some pictures that I already scanned but haven't posted yet. Hopefully I can get my scanner working tomorrow. An Arrow Suspended WITH TUNNELS!!! Here's another teaser. The sign is HUGE. IMO!

Alright! I can't wait to see the finished results... And good luck on your midterm. I had to take mine (for an online course) today.

^ I thought there was another contest to name the flyer. The person above me posted a suggested name so I thought I might contribute as well. "Flying" Daggars because it's a flying coaster "Fire" Dragon because it's red and yellow(and it shares Iron Dragon's colors) "Red" Kunai because the track is red and a Kunai is a Japanese (Asian) weapon. Mc Donald's: The Ride because the coaster is red and yellow like McDonald's.

Space Mountain

That is one good-looking coaster! Makes me wish I could ride it Too bad I probably won't be able to head to SoCal anytime soon.

^^ Disney is universally popular so they will carry Disney related merchandise to make money. Disney Princesses are popular with little girls and SF wants to appeal to families (I think). So SF will carry Disney Princess-related products to appeal to little girls even though they are rivals in the theme park industry. PS: The Wiggles airs on Disney Channel in the US, but Six Flags is allowed to build Wiggles themed areas inside its theme parks.

^ I saw pics of that in the aerial CP thread. I think its because the track needs replacing. Wait, so concrete and trash cans are considered atmosphere now? Actually I’ve never been to CP so I don’t know exactly how many trash cans/concrete the park has. They got rid of a number of other rides for coasters, so I can see that happening. (Raptor and Maverick stand out the most) -- I always thought that “America’s Roller Coast” came to be just because they had the most roller coasters. If they didn’t have the most coasters, they’d probably still be considered “The Amazement Park.” I don’t think it’s about the race; it’s more about the publicity.

^ No I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing. Did you know that 10 years ago... I was in the third grade. I got my first video game (Pokemon Yellow) I lived in Arizona I first learned how to use a computer The tallest fastest coaster was Fujiyama Y2K was a problem The internet was much smaller than it is today Everybody still used dial up and AOL to access the internet Spongebob Squarepants aired on Nickelodeon for the first time The Columbine massacre occured The Euro was introduced Napster was founded My sister graduated from high school I feel old now.

Lemme guess... Pancake and waffle themed roller coaster? I love how compact the park is. Keep up the excellent work.

Awesome work! I can't wait to see more. PS: Are you gonna keep the track the way it is or are you gonna add the two extra ties like the real one?

After seeing the pics, all I can say is that it looks.... well cheesy! Its a bit too expensive for my tastes, but I wish SF good luck getting revenue from this. BTW, did anybody notice that SFNO was mentioned on one of the signs inside the shop? Dan - $40 for a haircut? - Nguyen

^^^ That looks more like a Wing Walker/Ball Coaster than an X-Car. Both coasters are made by completely different companies. As for a pre-fab, IIRC, Kinzel stated that no Intamin pre-fabs would be build at CP. Judging by past new coasters Cedar Fair has built, the next possible wood coaster would probably be a GCI.
