8.42 where do you rank Intamin woodies like El Toro and Balder?

John Fitzgerald said that he didn't want the tigers to turn on the trainers and give the park a bad rep.

This is going to look really awesome Can't wait for Thursday!

Awesome! How did you get the 2 tone track? it looks like part of the spine is green and part of it is yellow.

Congrats Robb, Elissa & the TPR staff!

The capacity on GL will be AMZING. During the construction tour, they said they will have 3 trains and 6 attendants during 2011. After that, I think they will just have normal 2-3 train operations with 2-3 attendants

I might go today, I'll try to get a picture

If you aren't a season passholder the event is going to be about $90. The reality is that Busch Gardens is an expensive park, even with a group rate discount. So in order to do an event at that park, and you don't have a season pass, it's going to not be cheap. But think about what's included and decide if having the ERT and the meal is worth it for you. Thanks Robb I think I'll probably go, from what I've heard TPR events are worth it!

Robb, I'm REALLY intrested! Just a quick question though, If we aren't season pass holder, would we have to pay for the discounted tickets and then another fee for everything else or just for the tickets?

Awesome! It looks like a cool mix between NTAG, El Toro, Voyage & Beast! Well Done!

I have a few pics of it as of yesterday. It looks pretty bad in person. I'll try to get them up later. Also, Runaway Train has been given "Polly-O" train wraps, and the fort has big "Polly-O" banners on it

I don't think a single person could argue against that $17 and El Toro or the $20 I've for for parking down at the Jersey Shore and all you get is beaches... I think I've made up my mind

Robb, it must have been really painful going over those bolts, huh?

Is it me or are all the good boomerangs are the ones that don't exist?

it was really nice. I got multiple rides on Ka, Toro, Bizarro(which went down in the morning) , Nitro, Batman, TDK and TANGO along with rides Skully, Blackbeards, Tornado AND houdini. I saw a hilarious shirt in a shop next to El Toro(El Mercado) that said "You must be 48" to ride my woodie" . I'll try to get a picture next time I go. Overall, it was a great day and bizarro was running the best I've ever seen seen it(amazing except for the auger laying right next to the ride)

The facebook page confirmed they are doing something back there a while ago, and during the construction tour, they mentioned a "Family Oasis". Thats all I've heard, so based on that I wouldn't expect it to be opened anytime soon

I think it may be a GCI

I'm really hoping that I get picked for the construction tour, so I can see it for myself! If I do, I'll definately bring a huge PTR back with me

^Somebody who doesn't know the existance of theming, ride rehabs, empty concrete slabs, taking care of whats already there, water rides, flat rides, ride distribution, having the entitre park open, a reduced ad environment, non-superhero themed rides, non SBNO rides, etc.

I don't think its offical. I think thats his name in the bottom right corner

Robb, I believe Chiller was bought! I remember hearing awhile back that a company had plans to pick it up on the cheap after Gadv announced it's removal, refurb it and sell it somewhere in the world, although, from my understanding, the project was cancelled and Chiller is rotting in a field a few miles from the park. Speed was a great ride. When I was in Vegas, it always looked closed as I would stand there and wait for the launch for 5 minutes and walk into the hotel only to find that it's open

I have a great idea! lets repaint it yellow and blue and call it Invertigo! Probably as creative as CF will get with this one

The main themeing wil be the yellow track(supposed to represent Parallax, GL enemy) and some tunnels. There won't be on-board audio and they are also using GASM's old queue house that they stripped all the way down to the frame as a new themed queue house. How well that will be themed still remains a question.

Trust me, there will be theming

El Toro Nitro X2 Nemesis Blue Fire It would be called Six Flags over Parking Lot
