^ Then Kill Me. Avatar will win all the lesser categories it was nominated for including Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Special Effects (Obvious)... I would like to See it win best picture for all of the work that was put into the movie and for the Box Office Records it has been setting... I have not seen the Hurt Locker but hope to rent it soon... Up in the Air has slowly bee losing ground amoung the critics though... It was, before the Golden Globes, the favorite and it felt like The Hurt Locker and Avatar would had been runners up... Now, it looks not easily the forerunner... I have only seen 5 of the 10 Best Picture Nominees... (Avatar, District 9, Up, Up in the Air, and Inglorious Basterds)

I never realized the mess that was SW:E1 was so bad til now... Today I'm having a "before they had sequels marathon" today... Pirates of the Carriebean: Curse of the Black Pearl, X-Men, The Matrix, and Bourne Identity!

The question now is whether another investment firm or management company will be willing to repeat the mistake that the last two investors decided to try... It's like trying to patch the holes in the Titanic with a band-aid. When Hard Rock Park ( I still call it that) was be being built I never understood why build there? There are so many other better location cities. If I may say and hopefully not be wrong: Miami, Las Vegas, Houston, Memhis... Why Mertle Beach? Where pervious theme park vetures had failed (Mrytle Beach Pavillion). I thought it would be a gamble. It was a losing one. BTW, We must be a Park downsizing trend with this economy... First, Astroworld and SFNO, then Geagua Lake, Now Kentuckey Kingdom and Hard Rock Park...

Hansa Park Discussion Thread
KDcoasterMAN replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That's a awesome video. Wish I could understand German though. It doesn't really go over the 2010 construction though. Guess they would like to keep the themeing a secret. -

I would if I could. Sadly, I am a college student. First, They do not have money. Second, They do not have ample time on their hands. I believe I may have an exam on Friday, April 2nd. You silly kids and college... I'm not planning on making my first ride into a social event... Most of first rides on many new coasters recently have been loner trips. (Even though they are no fun) But since KD is so close to me at home, loner trips are alright. I'll be there the following weekend. I305 will be my first credit of the 2010 season. -
Yeah, Everbody saw this coming eventually. I mean, they made no efforts to reopen Twisted Twins and removed Chang, the pride and glory of the park... T2, probably will end up for sale as it is unneeded at any of the current Six Flags Parks (probably will go to Darien Lake to sit in storage) ...Roller Skater will go to some park like Six Flags St. Louis... And greezed Lightning? Who wants scrap metal. I mean It's a good ride but I don't think it would be a good investment to keep it.

^Opening weekend is going to be insane. When Diamondback opened the line stretched for three hours. I'm going to wait until the following weekend to take my first ride on I305. -

I don't try to bail out a sinking ship, I just look past the leaks... KD is nowhere near prefect and we all (should) know it. -

Niether do I. I just said this because a majority of Dominator's testing was done after park hours. At night. I'm guessing the park staff may do the same. And yes, Dominator did do a few Day tests so I wouldn't (not) ruling it out. -
I would imagine the type of "Soarin'" attraction you are considering is a different concept that what will probably coming to BGW. Mostlike they will do minimal renovations to the original attractions and just play a new movie with updatedd affects. I wasn't surprised that this happened. Corkscrew was "unpopular."

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

The best thing that Kings Island can do is accept the fact that their World Breaaking isn't up to today's standards of reliability and effiecncy. Yes, they could remove the rose bowl and add more to the coaster, but the main point is the coaster's entire structure has the same issues of roughness. You may claim that retracking the coaster would do it good. It wouldn't. Grizzly, SOB less rough older brother, recieved a retracking last year and the difference was less than noticable. SOB problem is unfixable without going deep into the metaphorical pocket so to say. The land SOB sits on could be used for other attractions.
