Just name it Thunderhawk and call it a day.

V2 and Tazmanian Devil are good. Tony Hawk is just not my type of ride. Hammerhead is a joke. Extremely uncomfortable restraints and just not a fun ride.

Cornstalkers is staying in the same place. When it says "adjacent to Psycho Mouse," it means the entrance to the maze is right next to Psycho Mouse through the Picnic Grove entrance, and continues to Barney's Oldfield Speedway.

Berserker was there in 1976 under a different name.

Great report!
Side note to anyone reading: In the park index for CGA, Berserker is listed twice, once as Berserker and once as Bayern Curve.

^The haunted walkthrough is across from Doubleshot. It's called Fright Walk.

^Kong at SFDK and Vortex at CGA.

The price for Xtreme Skyfkyer is $14.99 per person. That's a flat rate regardless of how many people are flying.

Boomerang Bay opens on May 29th.

If you're going on one of the science and math days, which are on the first 3 Fridays in May, then you'll be waiting in long lines. Otherwise, the lines shouldn't be too bad.

I'm actually glad for the seatbelts B&M loopers because of one experience I had on Vortex at California's Great America. Me and my cousin were just going on another ride on Vortex. When we got on and the ride-op locked the seats the seats were locked, but the restraint wasn't. Both of our restraints were loose! We told the restraint checker that these restraints were loose, but he said, "It's alright... don't worry about it." So the ride started with the restraints loose and the only thing holding us in were the seatbelts. It was one of the scariest rides of my life. Thank God for those seatbelts!
Just because the harness was loose, doesn't mean you're going to fall out. I have been on countless coasters and other rides where the harness was not where I wanted it to lock. Did I think the ride was unsafe because of that? No.

The park released the park map for the season: www.cagreatamerica.com/DOCs/10cga_parkmap.pdf
Looks like Panda Express will be replacing the former Hometown Grill.

Calories! Not calories from fast food, but high calorie healthy foods.
-
Looks like the ride will be receiving a 42" height requirement.

What's funny is that they already completely re-tracked the first turn-around last off-season.

So just in case not everybody saw this, the LA Times released the names for the rides in Planet Snoopy: travel.latimes.com/daily-deal-blog/index.php/planet-snoopy-6245/
Also, it looks like, along with Kings Dominion, the KidZville area will not be themed to Planet Snoopy, but instead the rides will just lose the HB theming and go with generic names: www.cagreatamerica.com/attractions/category.cfm?ac_id=40
Come one, Swing Swing Swing?!

Here's an onride video of Colossus without the MCB.

One step closer until it becomes legalized for recreational use.

My favorite season was San Diego. My least was Paris. That season was horrible! I think the show should just go back to the half hour episodes. I'm noticing in the seasons with 1 hour episodes, especially Brooklyn, not much interesting stuff was going on. It seemed like it was all the roommates walking around and making wisecracks at eachother.

I'm a supporter of it and I think it has many economical benefits. It can also affect people who get busted on petty possession charges, and get those charges dropped.

I found this article recently:
So what do you fellow California's think about this? Do you think pot should be legalized under the age restrictions and amount allowed to be carried according to the article? What about people from other states, do you think it should be legalized nationally?
-
Yeah, if any coaster at the park needs an upgrade, it's Scream!. Especially a new paint job, but keep the colors. As for a theme, on-board audio we be a great addition to the ride especially with the current name of the ride. I'm kind of tired of fire effects for rides, it just doesn't cut it for me. Oh, and tear up the parking lot under the ride and plant some grass!

Found this video on Youtube showing footage from the park in 1978.

Six Flags already has the rights to Voodoo, which is why Dorney had to change theirs to Possessed. Also, SFDK already has their Top Spin named Voodoo.
