My Thoughts: Janelle needs to die. Chilltown deserve and need to win! I love them both!

EDIT! Some stupid redneck posted as me here.

If you plan on attending, please RSVP by sending an email to robbalvey@themeparkreview.com letting us know how many people are in your group now! See you on Saturday!

Why wouldn't they get rid of the mouse? It's still probably worth a goodly amount of money, and they have basically the upgraded model of it at the same park!

I bet it happened in the snap into the MCBR! I've gotten lumps on my ankles before from them smacking into each other on that stupid turn!

I know I'm new but Wow, Elissa that was actually quite rude of you! I read the forums and I didn't think Wrebbit was that annoying. He's just a guy who's enthusiastic about SD2K, no big deal. Viking86 is a big fan of Wild Train but I don't see him getting posts like that... Also Wrebbit: I don't think you should remove all that SD2K slogans. It's a part of you, people know that when they say Wrebbit, they automatically say SD2K. Just because others are unhappy doesn't mean you have to change. Be yourself! Well, as you're new here you obviously haven't been around this as long, nor have you seen ALL the posts. Thanks for calling me Rude! I'll remember that!

Glad to hear it's back open!

^^Flying Coaster is not unique. I'm pretty sure there are at least 6 of them permanently operating in the world.

Seeing what GCI has done lately, I wouldn't expect a Roar Clone.

Wow, I'm impressed!

The question is less if it will open ontime, and more, will it STAY open for the summer!

Yeah, there will be a grace period.

Yeah, I don't think St. Louis is on any Top 3 list. It's solidly mediocre on all counts!

Maybe then you should tell us some more about yourself...which parks have you been to, do you like wood or steel, quality or quantity, then we can suggest better for you!

Yeah, I'm really thinking we should have some sort of Application process! I mean, there are just as many messed up 18+ people out there as 16/17 year olds!!!!

I would have made such a good Rat Lady!!!

If it were any attraction *other* than Typhoon Sea Coaster I might be shocked, but this ride is closed way more than it's ever open!

It depends on how much ERT you want, what rides, what time of year, how many people, if you'll be staying at their partner hotel, if you'll be doing group meals, what you offer the park, etc. As you can see there's a lot that goes into it, and I'm sorry, but there's no simple answer.

I don't know who this Mantooth who's only posted once is, but if you want to ride all the coasters at the park I wouldn't follow his directions at all! Do a search and you'll find plenty of ways to get SFMM done on a busy day.

I don't totally get the rain thing...Kannonen runs in the rain, Speed Monster runs in the rain, and I believe I saw Storm Runner run in the rain. I know there's a bigger chance for it to roll back, but they should still try!

^^Yeah, Hurricane Harbor used to be the excuse, but now the ride hasn't operated since April 2003, so they kind of lost the ability to use that excuse!

They repainted Rampage's train again!?!?? Grrrr. Did you check out the waterpark at all? They actually put a decent amount of money in it.

See, we had a totally different experience! We did their walkthrough which was on par or better than any Haunt/HHN maze! (complete with onride photo!) The Magma attraction was definitely on the same level as Universal/MGM. The Stunt Show has so much fire, and audience participation right on stage which was too cool. The 'rides' section was obviously a kiddie area, but we spent a bit of time down there. Weren't really into the other shows, but had a great lunch there complete with Zorro harassing Dan! Can't wait to go back there and to Aqua Paradise next summer! I think we all had a better time there then at Gardaland!

Please don't speculate on price. The UK Trip *should* have been at least $2000. The Japan trip will be VERY expensive. It is 16 park days, visiting 2 or 3 parks a day sometimes! (Parks that cost $50 each!)
