I think this will go a long way in determining the success of the new trains. Overall, I do like what I'm reading from the press release.

^Sometimes it's hard to find that magic again after so many years. I liked Indy 4, if for nothing else, but to see Dr. Jones on the big screen one last time. Quantum of Solace: A- I really did enjoy this movie. Though like a few have mentioned, the action scenes and plot are a little hard to follow at times. Still this Bond is much more athletic and edgy, which is why I probably liked it so much. In the end it's not as good as Casino Royale, but still very good and a top 5 in 2008. Oh and the opening song has really grown on me, having listened to it a few times.

Just shoot me now.

Thanks for the link. HRRR is looking better and better with every new pic I see. I'm heading to the park again on Wednesday, but I'm sure there won't be much to see quite yet.

No Intamins planned in the US so far?

My guess is 6 ducks.

Don't let DBru see that. He may wet himself. Just kidding, DBru.

Thanks for the TR, John. When I drove by CG this morning, they were piling in. OK, maybe not piling in, but at least there was a line at the traffic light.

I agree, very well done hyyyper. Definitely deserves strong consideration.

I'm looking forward to HRRR, Manta, and Diamondback, since I'll be riding them in 2009.

^No, but maybe they would theme Wild One to the Terminator. That way we have a Terminator (east) and a Terminator (west).

...Maybe Superman (SFNE) will become Medusa and Medusa (SFGAdv) will become Superman.

Clementon Park?

I've read that as much as 90 percent of the queue will be changed to fit the Tri-Wizard Tournament theme. As for the skulls, Merlin's book, etc., I'm really not sure what Universal will do with that stuff.

MY EYES!!! Not a good decision on the re-paint of Anaconda. Should have stuck with the old color scheme. BTW, nice job on the TR. Thanks.

^True. Now that HHN is over, look for construction to pick up considerably. My prediction: HRRR will open mid-May and Manta 1st week in June.

Sure you were. The darn clown is what got me as a kid.

I hear ya, sam. It happens every year. I remember when people were calling El Toro's layout boring during construction.

I believe they are, Jarmor. As for the layout, it appears the original "artist concept" photo was pretty accurate after all.

Yea, that is good. I guess all that's left now is a hyper coaster for BGA/SWO.

I just finished both the wood and steel polls. I only did my top 30 for both with S:ROS (SFNE) and El Toro leading the way.

I was really hoping they would have the coaster nearly complete before finding out the whole layout, that way we wouldn't have 5 pages of people judging the coaster by a 2D drawing. Oh well. I'm just happy Manta was too far along to pull the plug when InBev came into the picture.

Well that sucks.

Actually, Poltergeist is the only movie that ever gave me nightmares. ...Granted, I was 8 years old when I saw it in the movies.
