You *can* rent a car if you are under 25, it just costs a bit more. But all the rental car agencies are different, so check around.

Did I mention Kings Dominion? No I did not. I would assume that Cedar Fair has been happy with Kings Dominion's attendance, and therefore not needed to make a huge capital investment to keep attendance afloat. The whole business about "playing favorites" is idiotic. Kings Dominion was pretty well stacked when it came to rides while parks like Carowinds and Canada's Wonderland were well behind for their market potential a few years ago. Now I'd say they are all closer to being on equal footing.

Or they don't have the market to sustain growth? Sure the first year or two you'll see big jumps in attendance, but what about after?

My only question is, what would a TPR subreddit offer that the current TPR forum or /r/rollercoasters subreddit wouldn't? Is it just about expanding the reach?

I saw a lot of security guards walking around all over the park over the weekend. So they definitely aren't skimping on safety standards.

The medal detectors are just giving you a perception of safety. They don't actually make things safer. When's the last time you heard of a weapon being confiscated at an amusement park? If someone wanted to pull a Columbine and shoot everyone, it would be just as easy to do before you pass through medal detectors. This is similar to people on Facebook saying they wish Fury had OSTR's because it would be safer.

Not if it comes with OSTR's and mechanical headaches like I-305.

I went to Carowinds yesterday and have a big update over on Carowinds Connection. http://www.carowindsconnection.com/viewtopic.php?p=56598#p56598 Harmony Hall also opened yesterday, and was simply fantastic. Excellent addition. It's probably my favorite thing Cedar Fair has done for Carowinds other than Intimidator.

Awesome, thanks Elissa.

How concerned are you guys about our safety in Mexico? I assume that you have done your research to make sure we would be safe at all times. If you guys are not concerned than I see no reason for anyone else to be. Unrelated, but Medusa South has always looked like an awesome CCI woodie to me, AND it got Topper Track this year. That alone might be enough to get me to go.

Hey Larry, I have frequented the park index for some time now and figure it's time I contribute.

Yes I knew that much, I was just wondering if there was enough non-trip people incoming to warrant such a thing. If not that's okay of course, trying to save money wherever I can.

Finally registered! Can't wait for this event. Perhaps I am a bit too forward thinking, but will there be a "TPR" hotel with a special group rate or anything? Also I doubt this is the right place for this but I'm looking to go to La Ronde the Friday before the Bash. Anyone else from out of town like me planning a Montreal side-trip?

Behemoth Bash in 08 was a fantastic time, I don't think I can miss this one.

lmao.. pretty sure this is the first Brookhaven Exchange Club Park trip report on the site. I went the next to last day of the fair and was hoping I could get all the fame and glory of having the first TR, but congrats you beat me. It is definitely a strange place, I really really liked it.
