I am not familiar with the Carowind's map and where the ride is being built but will the ride cross over the state line? That 11 million might just be for the one state side.

^ They say not to, but everyone does and nothing is done about it. Which is what I would hope to happen at Thorpe.

Good to know you can't hear any other music other than yours. That was the one review I wanted to see. Now for me to get back to Orlando and ride it myself. Wish I knew when I could go back

That would actually be a good idea at the announcement since it would be right next to the Eiffel Tower and people could see the difference (If the rumors are true about the height). But I would say there is 0.1% chance of them doing that.

If you are into skateboarding there All Wheels Extreme show is alright, but I would only watch if you're able to get everything else done. This is also true.

That is not fair to the people that actually take care of themselves and clean themselves. And the people that complained are the ones to blame for this not Thorpe, you're on a ride for what? 2-3 minutes? Deal with it.

^ Junior isn't with DEI anymore.

Take it for what its worth but a couple of sites are saying that Jeff Steiner and Taylor Earnhardt of Dale Earnhardt Inc. will be at the announcement on Thursday which goes along with the media invite shaped like a car. I haven't seen anything that proves it so it might just be people posting for fun which happens alot.

Here is kind of a hint, although it may just be me. The times I have been there TTD has its smallest line sometime around 2-4. Now that might just happen everytime I am there as I have been lucky with lines as opposed to hearing how long people wait here at parks I have been to.

And how did they know they were from Intamin? I doubt even if they had Intamin on their shirt they would be able to read it. Unless I am reading your post wrong and the employees saw them from up close. I am assuming they saw the "Intamin employees" while riding MF.

And after the Carowinds announcement the Intamin fanboys will complain about it not being above 240 feet

^ 11:00 AM Thursday: Announcement 11:05 AM Thursday: Bashing of announcement 11:10 AM Thursday: Loving of announcement 11:15 AM Thursday: Debate of love vs hate 11:20 AM Thursday: Debate still goes on

Ok, lets put it this way. It might help the attendance one or two days but it is not going to help the overall attendance for the year. Happy? I'm with Chuck to put an end to the attendance talk.

^ Aren't you a coaster enthusiast though? I doubt most race fans are coaster nerds.

^ That is completely what I was saying about Vick. Anyway, my team (Panthers) start there pre season tomorrow. Hopefully Peppers won't be too mad with the franchise tag and play like he can all season.

Why does everyone on that site spell inversion as "invertion"?

Isn't that 4 or 5 that you have got?

It probably will for the first week or so since everyone has been waiting to ride it.

^^ If Doswell, Ashland, Richmond or any surrounding area within a 10-20 mile radius of KD ever gets anything to attract tourists, or KD actually puts more into the park than rides, they might have a shot. If that doesn't happen KD will have a very hard, and I mean VERY hard time getting into the top 25 attendance. While KD's Giga and Carowinds B&M will boost there attendance some next year, it is not going to double or triple it. I am done arguing the point because in your mind KD is the greatest there ever is so nothing we say will change that.

Yes, just like when they said Gee See Eye, they were going to make a GCI woodie, or when they said Intamin, or when they said TOGO they were going to bring the company back from the dead. Don't rule out any company and don't rule out nothing at all.

^ Did they add something this year? I don't remember.

Well atleast we know the stairs work Good to see it finally somewhat opening.

That was a joke. If you don't know Chris Paul is a point guard for the New Orleans Hornets, his nickname is CP3.

It shows that coasters are not the only thing that brings people to parks. Look at the top 20 in attendance minus a few and tell me what they all have in common? Theme, a great family atmosphere, rides, shows, etc. KD has the coasters, but not much else to offer.

I think I can find me a background for my laptop in here! These are some great pictures.
