I will visit this place before the end of the season.

I'm fairly certain that the queue wait time signs mean that the wait will be that long from that point if the queue is completely full up to that point.

Got my Bag of Crap today, basically the same stuff that was in the first few posted from today. I'm going to need a box to keep all this crap in!

^Concept art is concept art.

^It's coming off higher terrain, much like this bridge on a slightly smaller scale.

^It's a bridge that crossed the "river" until it collapsed, conveniently leaving roller coaster track to carry you safely back to the station.

They'll be getting their second Flight Deck, straight from California!

^The fact that the boats were running on Pilgrim's Plunge didn't matter, the lift types are different. I think they tried to use the same boats and discovered they were too long, and that's what the problem was.

^Nope, a 400 foot churro stand!

^We're all aware of the cable incidents. That being said, Intamin doesn't manufacture steel cables. You don't blame Honda if a tire blows out on your Civic, do you?

Intamin doesn't manufacture steel cables.

Apparently there are people riding Windseeker tonight, I just had a couple friends on facebook post about it! EDIT: And I just got confirmation via text message, it's open!

^Because of the coaster selection involved, China is higher on the list anyway. We'll just have to wait and see!

China or Italy, China or Italy, China or Italy..........................BOTH! :ihavemywinninglotteryticketrighthere:

240 foot B&M hyper. bwahahahaha

This will be a wonderful way to end two weeks of coaster travels!

^^Maverick has had a silver train since day 1, that's probably the one you saw.

^Engineering is readily available to protect structures from seismic activity. The Sky Tower has been on the mountain for how many years? And that's with engineering technology from decades ago. I think it would be fine.

^^That looks awesome! I'm really hoping this thing is open by the end of the month, when I'll be there.

^Iron Wolf was built in 1990. It was the first B&M coaster ever built.

I'm gonna go ahead and go on record by saying I think it'll be a Star Flyer.

While I think the Iron Wolf rumor is pretty far fetched, I will buy a front row ticket to the SFA fanboys' meltdown if it happens.

Agreed. Disagree!

^Yes, I'm pretty sure those are the Double Loop trains. The 5th and 6th Gemini trains are also in there.

^The rumored name is Verbolten, but nothing is official yet. Verbolten is a play on words, a mixture of "verboten" and "bolt," which would imply that it is launched.
