Having read this, I'm still not sure what this is all about. Not a lot of detail.

Have you cleared this with your parents yet? I'm sure that they may have a say in a couple of kids that just got there licenses taking a truck and spending at least one night on the side of the road just to visit an amusement park. Why would you want to head to Southern US when you have plenty of nice parks around Chicago and would be much easier to get to?

So the article states that 20 million will pass by the place every year. Wonder how many will actually ride the wheel?

44 is when I started to really get into coasters and traveling to ride them.

Interesting, Hope they are closed just to facilitate the construction and not for them to be removed.

Speed was an ok ride but I don't see it being rebuilt anywhere ever.

While I think Flying Turns will be a fun ride, I don't expect it to be an OMG I have to keep riding this all day long type of ride. It will be just another good addition to a great park. Great for the family.

The cost of the credit at Sesame Place isn't so bad. Add up the number of credits you got on your last Japan trip and divide into the cost of that trip. I think when we did Dubai it worked out over $100 a credit. We have a crazy hobby but we do get to travel a lot. Well worth the price!

Last night it was 108 and it rained!

Pepsi Next, not going to replace Coke Zero that I usually drink.

Looking forward to see pictures of the steel going up! Seems like it is taking fore ever for them to complete the footers but then the probably wouldn't do the steel until the park closes anyway.

That should be good news for WCB!

Be careful eating the hot soup!

Any idea when it is supposed to open?

I was on the first TPR trip there and the only things I remember about the park was the Tagada was awesome. Not sure how someone didn't get seriously hurt. The ice slide was "cool" and we had to come back for the coaster because it was closed the first time we were there.

I find it kind of odd that FEMA is paying for this and not insurance if they had any.

Bummer!

Wow, the tower looks huge. Can't wait to see how people fly over that first hill.

Why would you want to make vegetarian haggis? or haggis in the first place for that matter!

I imagine now days there are a lot of people who don't have nice dress clothes. It is pretty casual around here. I can see the cruise lines dumbing down so as not to lose business.

This would be pretty cool to see once. Not a lot of detail about what is in the works.

^Interesting to see how they are putting the wheel together.

Something is wrong when Pete Rose gets banned from the Hall of Fame for betting on baseball, not his own team, and players that use PED's to set records get a slap on the wrist.

Glad to see it has reopened but what is left there to do? It doesn't seem like a lot is left from what there was 5 years ago.

Like the pictures of the wing coasters.
