...or Hershey Park to SF Great Adventure. I wouldn't necessarily say that. If Raleigh could be affected in NC, I know Doswell could if the storm came in from the Virginia coastline.

^The key word being "hope".

^It could just mean they're reusing the name.

I've been on all of them except for Silver Bullet and Patriot. And this is how I would rank them. 1.Dueling Dragons 2.Montu 3.Afterburn 4.Alpengeist 5.Batman 6.Raptor 7.Talon 8.Flight Deck (CGA) 9.Great Bear

I have about 20 movies in my top 10, but five stand above the rest. 1.Star Wars IV, V, VI(1977-1983) 2.Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 3.Jaws (1975) ...Others worth mentioning include, Die Hard, Jurassic Park, IJ:Temple of Doom, Aliens (1986), Titanic, Forrest Gump, BeetleJuice, Superman 1 & 2, Iron Man, Vacation, CaddyShack, Spider-Man, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Lord of the Ring(s).

Yea, I'll continue to call it Dueling Dragons, just like I still call the coaster up at SFNE, Superman.

I'm actually hoping for something unique for their next coaster. ...Maybe something like a US version of Winjas. I think that would be pretty cool.

My favorites at CP are as follows: 1.Millennium Force 2.Maverick 3.TTD 4.Raptor 5.Blue Streak ...Those are the only 5 worth re-rides in my opinion, the rest I'll ride only if the lines are short.

This is very sad news, but understandable. BBW is and always will be one of my favorites. RIP.

^Yea, I know. That's why I added a wink at the end of my post. I'm just hoping it's not during the week I'll be in Idaho and Northern CA.

DBJ brings up a good point. Which Universal? I'm going to assume you're talking about Universal Studios Florida. Also, when are you planning this trip? ...2009, 2010?

^That's why I'm waiting for the AP preview. ...At least I hope they have one.

I log off for a few hours and come back to a half dozen new pages about one post. For me, as long as the new coaster doesn't have over-the-shoulder restraints, I'll be happy. ...Oh and a little airtime wouldn't hurt too.

Wait, aren't those three of the planets in our solar system?

^^Thank you, I got a little side tracked after my post above.

As we speak the r!ings are being put on the ride. I believe there's a picture over at ioacentral. I'll see if I can find it.

I don't think I could even list my top 2 or 3 favorites, let alone all of the Potter movies in order. LOL. ...Though I'm sure #4 would probably be near or at the top of my list.

Great job on the trip report so far. I couldn't agree more about MF, TTD, and Maverick. It was kinda weird basically reading my own thoughts on those 3 coasters in someone else's TR. ...Definitely looking forward to the IB report.

^I'm fine with anything, as long as it's not Flight Deck.

That's a matter of opinion. I've been on both many times and find as much air on MF as Nitro, which is average. Outside of the helix and the two bunny hills at the end, Nitro is a bore fest in my opinion. See, it's just a matter of opinion.

I'm glad to hear the positive reviews on Harry Potter. After seeing Transformers and the last HP in IMAX, I'm definitely hooked. I think I'm going to wait a couple more weeks till HP6 comes to my local IMAX theatre.

^The key words being, "for some strange reason". Seriously, I'm sure both coasters will be very good and they'll both be close enough to do in the same trip, so for most of us it shouldn't really matter who's getting what.

More like one park getting an Intamin and the other probably getting a B&M.

I agree, X-Scream and Steel Dragon are must rides. ...They're both very good and very underrated.

Yea, I had to double check to make sure I wasn't in the KD thread.
