Diamondback'09

Worst: First Time riding Adventure Express, thinking that there is more to the ride after the final lift hill. Best: Magnum with no mid-course brakes.

Those older POS Gerstlauer's were brutal. Rides like Villain were insanely rough at times, until they did some retracking work of course. The Gerstlauer trains on Son of Beast (the ones that used to be at Myrtle Beach Pavilion) ran excellent in the morning. Although it seemed as the day progressed, the worse the ride got.

Dragster usually has a pretty entertaining crew. You can tell when the crew is less talkative because you hear "Ready to Go" about 15 times when your in the station. The Beast usually has a pretty entertaining crew. Especially during ERT.

Its taken me 4 years to get 70-80 rides on Dragster.

Ya I haven't heard anything about the new movie inspired by Jungle Cruise in a while. I was looking forward to that movie...Anyway I hope this mmovie about BTM comes out. I wondered if they would ever make a movie about it after the Pirate movies and Haunted Mansion came out.

Agreed. Those restraints seem to be the Intamin "standard" restraints now. I realize alot of people had trouble with the older T-bar restraints (Mil. Force, TTD, Xcelerator) but in my personal opinion, those restraints provided a MUCH better ride than the new lapbar/otsr's. The older restraints left a more open feeling while riding. With the new OTSR's you can't even put your hands up if your riding with two people.

Crush N' Gusher at Typhoon Lagoon was built by Proslide, right? It uses the water jets to shoot the tubes uphill. It was an amazing ride. By the looks of Wildebeest, it could be one of, if not THE best waterslide ever built!

Recently on CP's Twitter and Facebook, it said "KD:1 CW:2 CP:3." I would guess that it would mean the order of which announcements for parks are going to be. Correct me if I'm wrong.

On Twitter just recently a girl said she was excited to see what Cp is building next year and that she was going to Halloweekends in two months. Cp replied and said that she will know whats going on before then.

I sure hope it's not leaving. When the park opened to the public at Ride Warriors Weekend I was on the second train of the day (blue train.) It was an AMAZING ride. It wasn't a rough ride at all. Later that night before ERT on Diamondback we went on it in about the sixth row in the red train, i think. It wasn't quite the same as earlier in the day.

There has been land clearing on Millennium Island...... Cedar Point even has pictures of it on their blog at their website. My bad. I forgot they cleared it a while ago. It just seems they haven't been doing a whole lot over there lately.

It's kind of surprising that if this new ride is going to be a new coaster, ground clearing hasn't started. KD and Carowinds have already started on ground clearing, footer and cement pouring, and delivering parts.

Definately Waldameer!! Hurray for Ravine Flyer 2!

Silver Bullet at Knotts!

Ya I would have to say the best for me is a three way tie between Space Mountain at Disneyland, Millennium Force (I love the intense speed while flying past the line) and the Beast. I would have to go along with the others and say Adventure Express has the worst ending.

I'll be at Disney World the 16-23! The first park of the trip will be Magic Kingdom.

I was just at the park the other day. Its kinda sad to see the lack of crowd (not that that I didn't like standing in line for 6 minutes to get on Screamin at 7pm .) I am excited to see new attractions being brough in. Its kinda sad to see some stuff go to. They hadn't started taking Orange Stinger down when I was there last Thursday.

I begged the operator for Ravine Flyer 3 to let me ride. She actually gave in after a few minutes.

Diamondback definately has my favorite. Millennium Flyers come in second. Thunderhead, Lightning Racer, Terminator, etc. wouldn't be the same without them.

It seems that if this coaster was going to have a cable lift on vertical track, the trough holding the cable would be a little bit more reinforced. Farhrenheit uses a chain lift if I remember correctly.

The lift section and crest of the hill look very similar to MF. I think its pretty safe to say that it is probably going to be a cable lift.

As much as I do like the theming for the ride, it would be cool if they updated it some too. Chances are, if the simulation has scenes with characters and settings that don't relate to the older theming, some new props might be added.
