Thanks Hanno!!! I have a request though... Can you recreate this picture with Chris holding a plate of Raclette as well? That would pretty much be my dream come true right there!

^It's a tricky park to get all the credits in a day without ERT or Fast Lane...but if you're up for getting Fast Lane it should certainly be conquerable!

This!

^I keep hearing very strong rumors that it will live again...not in the US, but it may live!

^That Disney knows its audience and caters to them. Seeing the little anime girl with her popcorn bucket, or the anime school girls in their uniforms instantly transported me there. It was really well done.

Thanks Tokyo Disney for spiting us once again with the most fabulous commercial ever. Is it time to go back yet!?!?

No. Sadly, the best case scenario at this point looks to be the park staying as a water park. Worst case, I wouldn't expect to see a park at all.

Yup!

^I'm pretty sure SDC's strong rumor is a Wooden coaster.

I'm surprised I wasn't charged for new sheets with all the blood going on in that room!!! They must have thought they murdered someone!

^It costs money to license those brands. They've been getting rid of several licenses over the past couple of years.

Where's the face palm smiley again?!?!

Why are we still so stuck on the US and Cedar Fair? Has a US park EVER started work on a coaster so early? Maybe when SFOT redid Giant?

^Like Robb said it's not even weight as much as how you carry it. In that picture you posted you can see it was a lot of 'flab'...squishy so the bar went right in. Some people who are bigger and ripped in better shape may have a harder time fitting.

In retrospect, I should have let them haul Steve and Dave off to the Japanese Hospital. Perhaps it would have even been haunted!?!?

What's the current fabrication situation for US versus Europe versus Asia? So far I only see US parks being mentioned, does this plant manufacture for overseas at all?

^That's great, and a good message to everyone... Don't sell yourself (or the cause) short...raise those goals and work hard to meet them!

Another vote for SFGAd.

TPFail was so amazing. That poor Japanese worker going out on the narrow catwalks all for the wallet...I would have left it with Gamera.

LOL! The angry customer saying how she'll never visit the Beach again because they wouldn't refund her pass is kind of missing something I think!! Sad to see the park go, but I'm surprised it survived this long across the street from another big water park.

^^What's so bad with that! It shows families that maybe only come every other year that they have something to look forward to, that the park will continue to be around, etc. I love Heide Park, they don't need to put up signs to keep me coming back but for some people it probably helps.

I completely agree with everything in this post!

^I kind of agree with you, especially if it does turn out to be another B&M Wingrider. If it's an Intamin one though, well, then rip out all the log flumes you want!!! So is Merlin just going to put in B&M Wingriders everywhere now!?!?

It's great to see people participating with a direct connection to the organization, I'm sure you understand the need for events like this better than anyone!

Poor Valleyfair! If this event wasn't like 2 days before we leave for the Italy and Europe Trips I would totally fly up and show the park some love! Where are all of our Nick Universe updaters???! Sign up!!!
