December 30th. Decided to let other fans have it for my favorite band in January. When was the last time you microwaved something?

^Great reviews. A few I particularly agree with (American Thunder, Lightning Racer, Wildcat, Apocalypse), some I hope will be similar for me, some I'm glad weren't the case for me, and that about sums it up!

Does not compute. Okay, okay, I know you said "for best location." But CP vs La Ronde on any measure still strikes me as a laughable comparison.

I'm also hoping it's just temporarily off the site for reasons, and will come back online shortly--it is a bit of a scare to see it gone. It is weird though that they are selling the limited ones now but not the unlimited ones.

I think I say that every time I talk about this coaster, which is almost every time I see a new picture of it. On the other hand, can't say I'm a fan of the sign. To each their own.

^Excitement! Having just ridden a much smaller Eurofighter that was excellent, I have a renewed enthusiasm for Gerstlauer, and have been thinking I don't give Takabisha enough credit (wasn't really a fan). This will give me an opportunity to give that layout a second chance without having to go to Fuji-Q.

I'm baffled that more people don't consider it a top-tier GCI--and I agree with those who do. Shame that namtaB is operating for such a limited timeframe. I had no plans to visit, but with me being more likely to make mid-summer trips to Six Flags parks, I like to keep on top of the dates for their backwards trains and such.

Hmm. Didn't hate it, actually liked it a little, but won't miss it. I'd certainly say its time is rightly over.

Adrenaline Peak at Oaks Amusement Park

Hi Larry!

I accidentally bought a bag of kibble and a two-liter of Dr Pepper.

Oaks Amusement Park!

A Mission St. IPA.

Yup. Total mindf--k. I agree with most of what others have posted in response.

I agree and have had a similar experience. It looks like the twelve-month cost for my membership is a little less than the price of an equivalent season pass, or comparable at worst. It's not like it's set up to purposely cost you more in the long run for the same product (in case anyone thought that).

I really like those cars! At first I was not enthused by the retheme (although of course I trust Europa in terms of quality and execution), but I like how it's shaping up--I'll probably love the finished station.

2014 - Splashin' Safari. When was the last time you visited a park that had nothing bigger than a kiddie coaster?

Buffalo. Specifically, the word buffalo to mean bison. Because buffalo is a much better word. Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. Woolly mammoth or saber-tooth tiger?

I would genuinely LOL if they just renamed it "Polar Vortex."

^You know what else is cool? The Atom and His Package cover of that song*. I have a version where he introduces it with something like "This is by a band called 'fug-uh-ZAI.' It's about the room in which you wait." Anyway, this isn't that one, but it's still pretty cool: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] *But his originals are a much better representation of his music, FYI. Go listen!

Then people would still have to drive all the way to the video store. What if MySpace was still the most popular social media site?

They have to compete with Wicker Man at Alton Towers. Otherwise people aren't going to care about riding Apocalypse anymore, since Wicker Man does the exact same thing but better.

Enjoying all these trip reports; y'all are seriously stoking my SDC nostalgia. Keep 'em coming!

Omicron, because pi follows immediately after! A Derby Racer or a carousel with a brass ring?
