Small ice rink they are putting in. A hockey rink is 17,000sg ft in comparison.

Looks to be pretty cool. I always take concept art with a grain of salt. I take it as a general concept and individual details will change.

Not impressed with the three tribes either. The Brains tribe is not that smart. The Beauty tribe is not that beautiful. In my opinion it is kind of a bust. They pretty much had to merge after 4 challenges otherwise it could have brought on a situation where there is only two people at tribal and they would have to build fire or something to see who leaves. I know it has happened once before but it sucks for the one person left.

With the track almost complete we just need the trains to show up.

Not sure yet if this is good news but the assembly here in California has elected their new leader and she is from San Diego. I would like to think that she will keep the bill banning the Orca's from seeing the light of day.

Can't wait to get Chris on this thing! He loves drop towers!

Well the coaster looks better then White Canyon.

Things are looking like they are coming along nicely. Can't wait to see reports when the park opens.

I'm glad they went with Helix and not Green Fire. I like coasters that take advantage of the terrain. Can't wait to ride it in June.

So are the Dodgers going to choke again this year?

The brains tribe is pretty stupid. The smartest thing they have done so far is vote J'tia out. Dumping the rice in the fire was a pretty immature move. Gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling that she is a nuclear engineer!

For the consumer there is probably going to be no noticeable change. SO where did the money come from? Who put up the money to buy these properties?

Nope. Everything I have is a few years old. I tend to wait until they break before buying anything new. Usually there is not enough in the latest version to make me want to upgrade.

Sunny and 75 today in Central California

I carried a red card a few weeks ago when I was at AK. I can't see them using Magicbands for this. Take too much time and need more scanners and the biggest reason would be that you would still need it for non-FP rides.

I'm pretty sure that the bill would prohibit SeaWorld from moving the Orcas once it is passed. I wonder if SeaWorld might move some of them before hand if it looks like this bill has a chance.

Fresno California

Just rode 50 miles on my bike this weekend.

^ I want my hour of sleep back!

The idol Garret? left back at camp before being voted out won't be found. They usually bury it someplace close to camp where they can easily get to it. They don't put it in there things back at camp because it is to easy for people to go through your things. I know they have in past seasons but I'm sure they have learned by now. The cop is playing to hard. He is making to many alliance's. He may go far but I think it will come back to bite him.

The Bourne Trilogy and LOTR. I'm sure there are a few more if I think about it.

I can see why people might think that the Polar Coaster would be built in a major park but It is not a fit for any of the parks in Florida. I think with all the delays in announcing means that it is a stand alone project and they are getting their financing together. A major park wouldn't have that problem.

The pirate ride was a rip off of Disney's POTC? I didn't notice!

Nice idea but this doesn't have a chance for a number of reasons. First and foremost is they do not have financing in place. If you read through the proposal you will find a letter from the finance company. It states that they do not have funds at the present time and are waiting to see what they are allocated in May of this year. Then they will decide if this project or some other project will get the funds. So the 90% of the financing in place is bogus. They have two major hurdles ahead. Second they are grossly under estimating what it would take to get this park back in operating condition. Just look at what KK is spending and that park was in much better shape. Add to the fact that no survey has been done to see what kind of shape any of the structures or rides are in yet. It is a complete guess on what it will take $$$ wise to repair or replace the infrastructure. Third is that they grossly over estimate the attendance. They are estimating figures that are the same as when the park was a full blown park with a much larger population in the area. They are not going to even come close to those attendance figures with a smaller incomplete park with a smaller population. Fourth a lot of the tourism to NO is to party. These are not families with kids. These are not people who will go to the theme park.

I have been on a couple of these and they are not the worst coasters I have been on but they are far from the best too. I know some people just hate them. I'll ride them for the credit. One and done.
