I'm going to say either Nov. 25th, Dec. 2nd, or Dec. 9th for The Dark Knight. I'm just basing it on the Iron Man release on Sept. 30th, since the two movies came out about two months apart. ...Either way I can't wait for both movies.

Construction should pick up pretty soon. According to screamscape a large crane with a drill is now on site for the HRRR. ...Maybe we'll be seeing some footers soon. I'm heading over to USF in two weeks, so I'll keep an eye out.

You really can't go wrong with a GCI.

While I didn't get to ride any "new for 2008" coasters this year, I do have Diamondback, Manta, and HRRR on my list so far for 2009.

That is why you sit in the front.

While I'm not a big fan of water parks, I do have to say WOW!!! ...Rapids with the lazy river sealed it for me. Thanks for TR.

LOL, 12/20. I guess I need to brush up on my Alton Towers history.

^The yellow supports will definitely make the lift hill stand out more, while the tan supports will blend in with the trees.

watch from his throne on the moon as all life on earth was destroyed in the year 2012. But first...

My guess is 9 ducks.

Yeah, let's hope Intamin impresses them enough for HW to want to buy their next coaster from them. You took the words right out of my mouth. Let's just hope this is the beginning of a semi-long relationship.

All I'm asking for is a week one victory for the Dolphins. ...any other win is just gravy. I'm hoping they come in last, so that it's a higher 2nd round draft pick for the Dolphins in 2009. BTW, I'm up for the weekly contest.

I would have to say the Superman B&M flyers. They get old pretty quickly.

OMG are those orbs in the DarKastle pictures? That ride must really be haunted. BTW, great pics.

Nice job on the TR and I agree with you about the GASM. It's not that bad considering it's an Arrow and will be turning 20 next year. Heck, it was one of my favorite coasters through the 90's.

No doubt ERT is awesome. Luckily I have an unofficial ERT on Kumba every time I go to BGT. ...Because nobody is ever back there the first 30-45 minutes the park is open.

It depends. There are good and bad coasters regardless of size.

All these different clues and guesses are giving me vertigo. I thought a Maurer Sohne spinning coaster would have been a nice addition to the park, but the clues don't seem to be pointing in that direction. Oh well, I'll just wait till the 26th.

You have my vote, Scott.

Not much going on here in Winter Haven. ...Steady rain with 20 mph winds.

^Hurricane, what hurricane? All we have up here in Winter Haven is a little rain and 20-30 mph winds.

^That's why Kumba is my second favorite B&M coaster and my #5 favorite steel coaster overall.

^Tokyo Disney Resort

While I admit that the GASM was one of my favorites during the 90's, nothing comes close to El Toro for being the best coaster in the park right now. My top 5: 1.El Toro 2.Batman-TR 3.Medusa 4.Nitro 5.Kingda Ka

I went to see The Dark Knight again this past Tuesday. I liked it even more the second time. IMO, it's definitely the best of all the Batman movies. Next Tuesday I'm seeing Tropic Thunder.
