Is it painted?

How many trains does it have?

How long is it?

Steel frame?

Timberhawk - Wild Waves

Is Southwest still sponsoring the penquin exhibit? I thought it would be cool to stick an old plane with hole in the roof in the exhibit for them to play in, as we know, Southwest has a few of those lying around they could use...

I agree, the wildcat credit was really sh*tty, you could tell my love for it from the photo.

^ 2013

^ It was Sept 24 when I was there, but it's good to hear the misters and the horn are working! Three trains eh? That's rather shocking!

Shane I think I mentioned it last year, you are the master. I always look forward to when you clean out the attic each season and show us things from yesteryear. A Brady Bunch coaster, that's so bizarre! Thanks again man, I might not post much in your thread, but I for sure read it!

I'll be there Saturday

^ "If you no have headache, you go to other vekoma detah machine, have good day! Tylenol by exit on way out!" and "Thank you for read report"

^ I figured you'd love that run on paragraph from hades! @ Jo - I still don't remember much @ RD - Sex ed wasn't on the agenda, it was a "bonus" item for being on Robb's bus. Actually, it all started with snack time. Not totally sure what all he had in that bag, but its obvious it wasn't candy...

Why is it that this park is so awesome and the rest of the parks in the chain are just "average" at best. Looks like they are doing it right with haunt, glad to see it.

Okie Dokie, so I didn't see this anywhere in the last many pages, however I think it's worth noting that last Saturday, at least, the fog was off in the tunnel and the horn no longer blairs when the train is leaving the station. Both aspects I liked. They have also had 2511 articles reported missing as a result of not securing the crap. In another note, I find that the ride has really smoothed out and worn in very well.

Ok, so since I've had like one person ask me why I haven't done a N.E. trip report, I'll go ahead and do one. Take it or leave it, this is all you get. Flew in early, whored the shore, blah blah blah. Went to Coney Island, survived getting mugged and beat to death, yadda yadda. Went to the hotel, watched Piers get drunk, blah blah. Headed to Quassy, rode on a train for the news, got boozed, blah blah. Went to Lake Compounce, got boozed then bruised on Wildcat, boo hoo. Somehow ended up at SFNE the next day, drank some more, rode some spinning room ride while buzzed, epic, and threw water on people off a mouse, blah blah blah. Woke up, stumbled to the bus, ate at some greek place that served pizza, bought Piers a drink in hopes he would sing Gaga, it didn't work. Blah blah. Oh yeah, drank some more, went to some ghetto park called Palace Playland, then about got ran over by a parade getting to the bus only to take us to this thing called Excalibur of which my ass is still sore from and where some pac man takeover occurred, yadda yadda yadda. Went to a lake with an effed up dark ride and some caterpiller ride that put a cover over your head, no soda machines, only water in the soda machines, also, no beer. Moving on. Arrived in Canadia, got the anal prob, Robb kinda liked it. Ended up at some slum hotel with no electric, so, we all went outside and drank. Someone slit their neck with a piece of glass, not sure why. Not sure I care, I was buzzed off some whacky drink that fatdaddy gave me. Now I know why they call him "fat"daddy. #wanttoforgetthatnight. Ended up at some unionized themepark where after each train the ops sat on the a$$, wish I had their job. Got on a bus, headed for pizza, and beer. Had pizza and beer, stumbled to walmart, people were buying smurf crap for some reason, blah blah blah. Rode some stuff thats going away at Great Escape, took over a mine train, [in racist chineese voice: thank you for ride boomerang, have good day now], got to roll back on some kiddie coaster at a jacked up mufflerman park called Magic Forest, not sure what kinda "magic" was going on here, but I felt violated when we left. After crying a little, we ended up at some Italian place that Elissa can't stop talking about, got drunk. Stumbled into the hotel, didn't sleep, left at 4am for home. True Story! Great trip, too bad I can't remember much of it. Wish I could remember who asked if I was going to do a report, but I'm buzzed, and can't, but whoever you are, hope you are happy now! After Piers drank this, he shoved the pitcher down his shirt, apparently he was affraid someone would take it from him, afterall, it is NJ oddly enough, my import software gave this picture number 69 Practice makes perfect? TPR trips are both fun and educational. Here we learned about the birds and the bees. And here we learned, erm... Taking it back to the old school.

Personally I take comfort in knowing that the de-erection crew does this for a living and know what they are doing. Now, had they hired temps from beanerpower, I might be more concerned that I wouldn't get to travel to the wonderful, well operated, and pleasant clientele at the park known as Six Flags America to ride it.

^ About a month ago there were some, but I couldn't tell you where I saw them. Mostly vegitation over growth in some areas, it did however, look like they were doing the basics so as for it not to get too out of control.

Theme Parks and Water Parks just don't mix well with Fairboards. Just ask Tulsa. No one is every happy, the park owner NEVER owns the land and dependant on what the lease agreement is, the park could be kicked at any moment, operator booted, or rent raised to levels that leaves no room for profit. KK is on a screwed up foot print which really doesn't help any. Now that the rides have sat, and three of them for a lot longer than the park has been closed, some rides removed, and the ones left really not all that good, the question of why comes to mind. Why bother. The local economy is probably the best reason to bother, but seriously, things need to be rock solid with the fairboard for anyone else to even think about attempting a raising of the dead. And from everything I've read/scene, it seems the fairboard while they say they want it to re-open, seem like they want to micro manage the deal. I see one of two situations being beneficial. The first, the fairboard hires a management company and provides the backing for new rides\attractions with the management company getting a % of the gate revenue with a bonus for profitability. The second would be to sell outright the land, rides, buildings, and IP with the understanding that the fairgrounds would retain and control the parking and parking fees. This public/private partnership just isn't working. Until then, it will sit.

Larry, a suggestion if you will. A link on the forum thread to the list of "needs" would be great. Not that I mind searching the last few pages as I'm used to have to search for my mail in other peoples teepees, but I think it would be a good little enhancement.

^ Win!

The park looks REALLY nice. I suppose I'll let it "burn in" for a while and on my next visit drive down and whore it out! And look at the legos perhaps, I have been known to build amusement rides out of them, probably still would if I didn't think it'd make me look creepy.

^ LOL, it does! I even remember regular Double Dare

Very nice, it's amazing how in China they just plop an amusement park down on very street corner, so to speak. Thanks for sharing!

^ Like a business plan?
