  1. Great to see the guys at Knoebels keeping the history alive! And it's great to see their back on their feet after the storm! Awesome work!
  2. Thank's for the report Jon! Awesome to see that the park can have a quick joke at the expense of former rides. hahaa
  3. Nice going Workman, you just lost the ONE person who still cared about operating KK. Pave Kentucky Kingdom.
  4. Yeah, because it's totally the maintenance crew's fault that someone fell out. Ride of Steel is closed because the lift chain snapped.
  5. What's so secretive about B&M inverted trains...
  6. ^ Now they can buy Cedar Point all the coasters it wants!
  7. I'd have to say having a huge fricken STEEL BOLT fly at my forehead on American Eagle Blue. Don't know if it was from an idiot on the same train, or from the coaster itself.
  8. I've been waiting for this news. This park was doomed. Why Dick didn't just sell it off once they gained ownership is beyond me..
  9. I'm looking to take a large group of about 50-75 people to Great America and was wondering how We can go about getting ERT on two or three coasters. Who should I contact? I contacted the SFGAm Special Events people and they gave me an average per person, but said that they cannot finalize anything, and didn't tell me who I should get in touch with. Any help is appreciated!
  10. I'd have to say mine is V2 at Great America, but I haven't gotten many launch credits.
  11. May 1986 James Family Farm Introduces Mine Swing, The American Drop, Marine World, and Carribean Cruise to Celebrate 10 Seasons! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjiFxh6ezgw The Skyline has changed drastically! Mine Swing is a unique roller coaster designed by Arrow Dynamics! The mine cars swing as you fly through turns! The American Drop is a parachute drop designed by Intamin AG of Switzerland! Climb and drop 135ft! Carribean Cruise is in the all new "Marine World" themed section. This boat simulator will give you all the true feelings of a true cruise on the ocean! Scrambler got a new coat of paint to fit in with Marine World! The latest rumors swirling around say that Twister will not operate this season.. hmm...
  12. You mean since Six Flags off-loaded them?..
  13. August 1985 It's been a quick and busy season, and it's time for is to start preparation for our 10th season! Wow! This looks interesting! This sign is seen many times around the park. The west was never THIS wild! Join us in 1986! What could be happening here? The outdoor seating area at the ice cream parlor is closed during construction. MORE construction?! I like! Yellow beams, what could these be for? Tidal Wave is looking good with it's new paint coat, and logo! So is Crazy Planes! I'll see you for our announcement on September 2, 1985! Tim James
  14. Maintenance department at GAm and Park President of SFNE said they got a few cars from GAm.
  15. Cars are gone, their being shipped to other parks. Where did the 3000 ft number come from?
  16. For those curious about layout, this is a very intense, compacted layout and will have a very similar consistency to Swarm.
  17. Wood: Psyclone (SFMM) Steel: Corkscrew at Flamingo Land -- Terrible experience
  18. May 1985 It's finally opening day of our ninth season of operations. My name is Tim James, and I am the park manager of James Family Farm. A view of the original plaza. Our famous freshly squeezed lemonade! Barnstormer takes you up 40ft. and swings you in bi-plane style cars. Twister, a PTC coaster added in 1981, lives up to it's name! Sky Wheel was added in 1980 and is currently down for maintenance. Olive Tree was added due to the high traffic of small children and families. This Ice Cream parlor was a part of the original plaza and was renovated to add a beautiful sitting area in back. Scrambler was added in 1976 and has been a favorite of many guests due to the fast launch! Tidal-Wave is a prototype ride added in 1980 and is a ride that many teen guests like to brace. Whirling is also a prototype ride added in 1980, not many guests choose to embrace this ride, but the ones that have love it! Looks like a bit of construction is going on, is it for good or bad? Have a great day! Tim James
  19. Just to show where Atari's heads are at, they have this on a failing platform, but they have yet to make an iPhone, Android, or WP7 game. Wow.
