Makes for an easier and faster erection as well. -
^I guess I just really wanted to like this show but it's turned out to be a typical Travel Channel coaster show that would make even my mom laugh at comments. Sorry Travel Channel, I'd say next time you film one of these interview more of the real enthusiasts and not the GP who 'likes' coasters...or at the very least don't label the GP as an enthusiast, it makes us look...good!

Wow, once again my assumptions are wrong. I don't think I've had a record this bad since the last time I played softball What in particular is amazing about the flight down to the valley? Is there something we aren't seeing, or is it just that the photos don't convey how crazy it is? I actually like the handrails since they give the ride so much mass to make it look more intimidating. I'm glad that's the only thing there is to really critique so far, everything else is just too mindblowing. Lol! I'm actually kind of afraid to mention what I *think* and I want to strongly emphasis *think* I saw, but it wouldn't surprise me if some sort of 90 degree or close banking doesn't pop up down there somewhere. Again, I can't tell for sure so I am VERY reluctant to even mention it. Wish the photos I took of that area didn't have so many darn trees and direct sunlight! Something I started here -

Too many to count Larry! I will say this, the train ride is full of fun and have the scripts memorized now, I could play any of the parts with no studying! I'm on my phone and can't quote anyone else but saw a few questions. In my opinion if you look at the photos of the lift before the train goes under you see a ton of footers coming out of the ravine and following the train track. There isn't any room for the coaster to go through the lift as mechanicals are in the way not to mention there isn't a hole big enough in the structure. Again my opinion we could see an old Texas Giant fly around the lift. Oh and sorry the photos don't show the can't believe this next as it flyers down the river bed, wish they did, it looks amazeballs. On the road for a bit! Oh and thanks guys, feel free to share, I'll post my full album later tonight. I just hope my DVR records Robb tonight! -

Howdy ya'll it's Captain Chadster back with an epic update on the -------- project at Silver Dollar City! I try to do and eat something new each time I visit SDC and today was no exception. Using my season pass discount I took advantage of the Kidsfest pizza buffet that included some OMG Amazing hand-breaded chicken tenders. Seriously, if you see a food outlet selling these, get them. For 10.92 all you can eat it's certainly a great deal. Secondly I took advantage of some coolness and went indoors to catch a showing of Luma, a completely in the dark production that features light to tell a story. For those of you who may remember the epic night coaster ride at Knoebels on last years Road to Cedar Point Trip, that is basically what this show looked like. Quick synopsis, lights act as light bugs and during a big storm one gets lost and flushed down the river to SDC's Cave where a new friend helps find the bugs way back above ground. The show, while slightly cheesy, was a fun cheesy and lasted 30 minutes. Ok, enough of that, on with the photos! But wait, there's more photos, Click Here To See My Full Album Thought I'd swing on in to Silver Dollar City... ...to see if the information found here is true. So let's strap in and peek over the trees (hint) To see what new information we can squeeze out Ok, enough monkey business Let's get on the train and go!! Choo Choo! Checking in on the concession stands we see work is coming along quite nicely I wonder what these sticks are gonna be used for? Whoa, what is this, a second movie screen, a double feature, what what? Oh my. OMFG! Are these guy's sauced up cause this is freaking hair standing on the back of the neck amazing! Ralphie they down there buildin' sometin and swinging their sticks! So it goes up sort of turns back over, then cuts down in a rage of intensity to the left! So lets follow it while we ride the Frisco Line. uh huh wowzers About here you're gonna be planted firmly in your seat. How firmly you ask? I'd say by looking and the dip and sharper left that you'll be planted so firmly your seat will have seat marks left on it. Now off it goes... To race full speed ahead over the river and through the woods to grandma's house. How about one more look at the latest turn added before we barrel through the tunnel. Out of tunnel we see the movie screen standing tall and proud. I have to say, the more I look at the more it looks like the edge of the screen drops straight off, like 85 plus degrees straight off, but who really knows besides RMC and SDC? All of these land mines just waiting to be set off. The projector's power box is now set and the railings are going on to get to the top of the screen safely if need be. More work has been done on the ticketing booth. Looking good. Yuuup, looking real good. More clues perhaps? Land mines are everywhere!!!! These are after hoping back over the lift and heading out a bit. So there it is, in all it's glory. Looks like RMC has a real winner on it's hands!

It's been 105+ outside the last week, I can only guess that they've slowed down due to that.
