Not even this song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9VzEulip9Q This song would work GREAT on HRRRRRRR, although every time I hear this song, I think Mystery Mine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csXv-90ezpc And this song would definately suit this coaster IMO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2KmzFABujM I'm sure there are other country songs that would work on this ride...

I think the pics in the above post need to be resized. They're HUGE! As for the trucks themselves, they could be from anywhere depending on where the shipping company comes from. You could ask the drivers where the supports are coming from, but they could be sworn to secrecy or something like that.

The pics look a little on the grainy side IMO. But I'm very interested in some of those SoCal brochures (mainly the Sea World/SFMM ones). I have a bunch of BGW 2009 brochures that I'm willing to trade. Interested???

WARNING these commercials may cause nightmares... The girl's probably thinking WTF? The announcer's voice topped with the creepy laugh of the doll and the girl's laughs make this commercial extremely creepy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDbKlaWgR3Q Rumor has it that this commercial was banned from TV after it aired because it gave so many children nightmares.

College Humor makes some hilarious fake commercials Classic Flea Market Montgomery Commercial. Its just like a mini mall

The good... - Theming is very good - Layout is close to the original The bad... - Too many unbanked turns and flat sections Suggestion - Try watching more POVs to get a feel for the actual layout of the ride. It looks great, but try to bank your turns and get rid of the flat sections if you can.

Whatever happened to this park anyway. It looked totally epic and it had amazing potential, but the creator never really finished it...

I'm glad they're finally getting the facade up. It looks absolutely amazing right now. It makes me wonder what it would look like when its finished...

SF doesn't really play "favorites" anymore (unless you consider TGE and SFSTl to be the new favorites of the chain). Even though the flagship parks still get huge additions, many of the other parks have gotten new rides/upgrades in recent years...

The supports don't look like the ones being manufactured at the B&M plant so I don't think its B&M. The B&M supports are round, while KD's coaster supports are square. Here are the pics... Mysterious B&M supports 2 Mysterious B&M supports KD's coaster supports...

It looks like one of those machines that the eye doctor uses to check people's vision. Or a dildo from the future.

^ I guess I misread the OP's post. Reach envelopes are used so that the rider cannot reach supports/trees/buildings. I thought he was referring to someone sticking their arm outside the train and getting it amputated by the supports. EDIT: I just saw a pic of the trains in action and it looks like riders are seated away from any of the moving parts so they cannot physically touch them during the ride.

All coasters should be designed so that something like this doesn't happen. I'm pretty sure S&S took this into consideration when designing this ride. That's why most parks test their new coasters with a reach envelope before opening the ride to the public.

So are you suggesting that you're opposed to a potentially great new coaster being installed just down the road, all because you feel the park is "spoiled?" Sure, that makes sense. As much as I would love my second homepark to get a new coaster, they've practically been getting new rides since 2001 on a yearly basis. There are plenty of other parks that deserve a major coaster than KD, like CGA, which hasn't gotten a major coaster since 2000 with Stealth and that ride was removed. Even CP doesn't receive rides on a yearly basis, and CP is CF's flagship park. 2001 - HS:XLC 2002 - Ricochet/Triple Spin 2003 - Drop Zone 2004 - Scooby Doo's Haunted Mansion 2005 - Tomb Raider 2006 - Italian Job: Stunt Coaster 2007 - Water Park expansion 2008 - Dominator 2009 - Americana/El Dorado 2010 - ?? So yes... KD is very spoiled and doesn't really need another major coaster.

Short answer... No Long Answer... B&M is a highly conservative coaster company. They tend to create designs based on tried and true coaster methods. Most of their coaster designs are train modifications (DM, Stand Up, Floorless, Hyper) and they don't like pushing the limits like other companies. That's why their coasters are very reliable and cause fewer accidents.

^ KD doesn't really need ANY coaster considering the fact that they got one two years ago. Most parks normally wait a few years before adding another huge coaster. KD is the most spoiled park ever...

15/20 The currently operating park questions were almost too easy. The questions totally gave those away. The defunct park questions were a bit harder, but most were fairly easy to guess. I guessed on about five questions...

Donkey Kong Country 2 Stickerbrush Symphony - Nintendo Now I know why a lot of people think this is one of the greatest video game themes of all time...

^ I totally agree with you. As an artist, I spend a lot of time and effort working on projects and when somebody negatively criticizes my work for no reason, it hurts. I can take constructive criticism well, because there's always room for improvement but I tend to skip over any negative comments...

^ Doubt it... The supports look too small to be a DM, not to mention Busch has a magical contract with B&M which prevents parks around BGW from building DMs. ^^ IT'S GONNA BE AN AQUATRAX!!

This is one of the best looking parks I've seen so far. Kinda reminds me of the new theme parks in China. Thanks for posting these...

That Days Inn looks nice from the outside and its next to a pancake place so you can eat breakfast before you head off to BGW. Its also close to Colonial Parkway and Colonial Williamsburg, although you may have to do a bit of driving if you're headed to BGW or most of the Richmond Road attractions that are on the outskirts of town (Pottery, Go Karts Plus, Prime Outlets, Yankee Candle). Have fun...

Old as in from 1900-2009. As long as its not in my collection, I would gladly trade the coupons for your maps/brochures if you're willing to. Just drop me a PM if you're interested... And don't worry... I wasn't into riding coasters until I was 17, although I was into collecting theme park maps/brochures since I was 3. Too bad my parents threw most of them away.

As much as I think the coaster itself is very sexy, I can't help but get the feeling that it doesn't really suit Universal's surroundings much. It might look much better once everything is in place, but so far it sticks out a little too much... - Dan "Next I'm gonna compare IOA to SF" - Nguyen
