Congrats to Carowinds on the topping off yesterday, it's only down hill from here.

Zombieland All I'm going to say is any movie with BM making an appearance is automatically great. OK, the movie wasn't great, but I thought it was pretty good and quite funny. Grade:B+

I'm sure Intimidator will see more love once it starts cycling the trains and again when the 2010 season approaches. I just think there's been so many B&M hypers built over the last 10 years, that it's really nothing new for the coaster enthusiast.

You definitely can't say that about NY Jest fans.

LOL, that was great. I think I'm going to go watch it again. Thanks GJ!!!

Great start to season 3, Shane. There's nothing like seeing souvenir books from the theme park that started it all.

Why? Actually, I think the above posts pretty much answered that question for me. Remember, they kind of already had a 14 day combo pass for the Busch and Universal parks. ...Not sure if they still do or not. Anyway, I'm hoping they take a page out of Disney, with an option on which parks and the number of days you want to visit.

I couldn't agree more about this being a good thing. The parks would have just stayed in limbo as long as Inbev was owning them. This way BEC can move forward and continue to improve and expand the parks. Also, it will be interesting to see if the Busch parks and Universal do come up with new combo ticket options. ...I'm sure they will.

Thanks for the pics, it's definitely starting to really take shape. ...Now I'm really looking forward to seeing it in person on Tuesday.

Looks like we may know in the next week if the Busch parks have new owners. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=a8cifvkwJqZI

^^You never know. If the Blackstone/InBev deal goes through, maybe we'll see an Intamin in a Busch park down the road.

^I wish that coaster was the Ozark Wildcat, but I know that's doubtful. ...Heck, one can dream.

19/20. I think TPR has rubbed off on me.

While Wild Adventure isn't one of my favorite parks, it's still a lot better than the former Cypress Gardens down here in Winter Haven. Heck, maybe they could purchase Starliner and give it a new home. It just saddens me to drive by every day to work and see it just rotting there.

Whether they end up watering it down or not, KI has definitely gone up a notch or two in my book.

This was definitely long overdue.

No, I don't think it's even close. The B:TR coasters are far superior in every aspect.

I agree. I really can't see Dueling Dragons closing before the end of the year. January and/or February would make the most sense, then they can have it reopen for the start of spring break or with Harry Potter in the spring.

^It was still open all last week, so I'm sure you'll be fine.

I would think that if it was going to be a Mega-Lite, it would actually say Mega-Lite on the label. The reason I say that is because Intamin seems to label their coasters the same way they categorize them on their website. Though this does seem to be some kind of hybrid, so who knows.

^I'm pretty sure that's the single rider line that you are talking about. ^^I don't believe the Express pass is available for HRRR yet.

^First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price. ...I have to say that it would be pretty cool to have dueling Intamin Prefabs. ...Wanna take a ride?

The only redeeming quality of the park is Flight Deck.

And Shoot The Rapids for best new water ride. ...See who needs the awards for next year, we are having them right now.
