^I'm pretty sure that's where the track rises out of the trench on the launch in the first video.

Now why doesn't Sir Walter Raleigh get the same bad rep as Dick Kinzel?

Florida and Alabama are each one win away from yet another undefeated rumble. Bama's got a test on the road at Arkansas this week while UF can take it a bit more easy against Kentucky at home. The game in Tuscaloosa is going to be a war.

Kentucky Kingdom. Is still open, at least, partially And Geauga Lake isn't?!?!

This clip is definitely the end of the ride, directly after the final launch. As was the case with last week's clip, I used my wonderful MS Paint skills to show the section of the ride in this video. Orange is last week's clip, yellow is this week's. Rush

No, that would be 3 2/3. Is BGW stupid for not taking my ride name idea for the new drop tower (Mach Tower instead of Der Fallinfast)?

Well the whole 1961 era Cadillac makes sense since that was the year the park opened and it's a celebration of the 50th anniversary. The longhorns are just another park of Texan heritage, so I'm sure the locals won't mind the way it looks. If they're going to jazz the trains up, might as well do it by incorporating park/state history into it!

^ YES! I swear they should hire me for marketing. I could come up with something better than Mach Tower. That sounds like a new product line of razor blades, not a thrill ride.

^Three launches. One for the straw house, one for the stick house, and one for the brick house. Call it the Three Little Pigs. Theming = done.

At some point during this update I decided that a real Oktoberfest in Germany would be added to my bucket list. Tons of beer, tons of food, tons of rides. I would puke my ever-loving guts out, but it would be worth it.

So when does the incessant complaining and ranting end? The park closed three years ago.......

I'd love to not be 6'5" anymore. Being tall had its advantages and really helped out playing football, but I've been done with that for 3 years so I'd love to be only about 6'1" or 6'2" now.

^Was the first clip released last Monday? It seems like it was more recent than that, but I had a long week.

Looks like the 2nd clip might be released tomorrow, this is from BGT's facebook page.

The Greek Gods themselves couldn't run a Vekoma flyer efficiently, they just aren't efficient rides. At all.

It just hit me that this is my brother's apartment complex behind the track. Maybe I should pay him a visit for some nerd photo action......

So I didn't win with Der Fallinfast. However! Is it too early to suggest the name Das Launchinfast for the coaster in 2012?

Oh that green track sure is pretty. At some point I'll figure out a way to contain my excitement.

Fahrenheit was a recent coaster built by Intamin, so obviously they're similar. And I'm still giddy about this ride. Seriously giddy. Like doing naked backflips down the street giddy.

^I'm offended! It's a travesty! A sham! A mockery! A travishamockery! Der Fallinfast was the best name EVAR!!!! On a separate note, BOTH Busch parks getting multi-launched Intamins? Let me be the first to say, HELL YES!

No, but I play Guitar Hero! Can you play Guitar Hero past medium difficulty?

I thought that part of the debate was settled a long time ago.

My geek speculation is on overdrive right now. Is that a barrel roll I see?

So is it too early to speculate what kind of restraints this will have?

^The new trains on Carolina Cobra aren't bad, definitely eliminated headbanging, but Boomerangs still suck out loud, so they can't solve that problem.
