It was 93 degrees the day we were there. I find it a little hard to get in the Christmas spirit when it is that warm out and people are in tank tops and shorts!

Was that a Tagada with seat belts? What fun is that!

I saw that too. What we are looking for is a coaster with the drop and hill right next to each other and separating for the turn around.

It cracks me up when someone says a park is out of room. The problem is you are thinking in two dimensions like Kahn, try thinking in three like Spook! Take a look at Blackpool if you want to see how to fit a lot of rides into a limited amount of space

Did you read the title? What ONE ride every park needs ..... I like the idea of a train but it is not practical for all parks.

^ When I went to the movies last weekend I was asked at the ticket booth if I was a senior and then when I got popcorn I was asked if I had an AARP card!

If they are smart they will start out small to get a revenue stream coming in. Then they can add every year to the project. If they try and do everything at once they risk running out of capital and having the whole project go bust.

Kind of wonder if it is a little late in the season to have these come up for sale and see a lot of action. Plans and budgets have been set for next season. Might be a while before we see a lot of movement.

I love these European parks. They seem so different then what we have here in the States.

^^I like the picture showing how much of the track has been installed so far. They still have a ways to go.

Exactly!!!

^That link does not work for me

This would have been real cool but you would have had the fanboys all upset about changing a classic!

Looks interesting. I hope this is really a go and not something they are hoping to build at some point in the future. I can imagine at 325 feet tall, wrapping around the tower would build up a lot of speed. Look for a lot of trims!

When I went to Riverwalk last year it was in need of tenants for the mall. Glad to see it being revitalized. To bad for the Six Flags site.

200,000 Japanese were late for work because someone didn't know how to flush a toilet!

Chain, I don't live close enough to any really good independents like Knoebels.

Nice idea, can't wait to see a report on how well this works.

The reason it is SBNO and not removed is probably money. Why spend the cash until you have something to put in its place or it becomes to much of an eye sore or safety issue.

Nice way to get started on an amusement park. Fairly new and unused rides at a discount.

I'm surprised they didn't offer to fly you out this year!

Looks like a ride you would find at a county fair!

As a themed area in a park I could see this happening. As a whole park, I don't think so.

Nice, can't wait for Summer to get here.
