LSM Coaster With rides like CA Screamin' (Prototype), Maverick, and now Cheetah Hunt, I can't wait to see what else is in store!

I'll continue this project, on one condition...someone knows what it is... Shot0500.bmp "Beta" Screenshot

Good, then it will be more funner! Exactly! Also since this is from Premier, and they completely ripped off Maurer Sohne, do you guys think they might file a lawsuit? So Timberliners are a rip-off of Millennium Flyers beaus they two people per car w/ a different lap bar system? It's the same here. They have six person trains with lapbars. The layout, while at first glance looks like Maurer, has a lot more differences. A Skyloop doesn't launch (there is one in an ad), the Maurer has a barrel-roll that starts upside-down and ends upside-down. This ride has the opposite. Just because Vekoma made a Cobra Roll doesn't mean B&M can't make one; Maurer was the first to do a non-inverting loop, but Premier was second. Honestly, I think they looked at Maurer's layout and went: How can we improve this? There all similarities, but not enough to say they completely ripped them off. I mean look at Golden Sun, if anything, Maurer would sue them first.

Highschool is fun, but the people aren't always. I do Irish Dancing. I'm a guy. Apparently just because it has the word "dancing" in it, and isn't followed with "with the stars" people consider me to be below them and their precious little football games are a more manly sport. Honestly, people need to get over themsleves and their giant egos. When I went to Bay Area Bash and West Coast Bash, I told numerous people that I did Irish Dance. Did any of them judge me? No. People actually thought it was cool.

^ I'm really ticked that I wasn't around for that... Anyway, this weekend is going to be packed, but I'm going out to the park to check out the Ninjago Spinjutzu Tour. Apparently it's a tournament using the Ninjago sets that were released earlier this year. They include tops so the Lego Figures can duel. It's been a very long time since they've hosted an event like this on such a busy weekend but hey, it's getting me out to the park!

I figured, what the hell? Shot0497.bmp

Superman!

WHAT? Skyrocket has the same restraint system.

This is definitely my favorite 2012 addition! This ride looks like it'll have the dual station based on the concept art. And the airtime looks insane! Once the opening day is announced I'm booking a trip!

I was looking up some old haunt stuff today, and found an old ride/attraction that Knott's did for Scary Farm, way back in 1987 I believe. The attraction was called "Revenge Of Zulu" and it used the old Camp Snoopy train to run around the lake with scare actors at every turn. The star of the attraction was a supposed "Zulu Animatronic" that would pop of of the lake to scare riders. Anyone know any more info about the attraction/pictures? If so, I'd be very interested in finding out about it. Who knows, maybe we'll see that animatronic return for the Haunt Tech show this year!

^ And the answer we got at Knott's during WCB seemed to suggest that we won't see much happen with the ride for now anyway....

^Soooooo..... Millenium Flyers or Timberliners?

I'd be interested, but it depends on the date. Edit: Sounds like I'd be able to go on that date!

What I meant was that you couldn't really hear it that well at the top.

Yes, I know there is a reason for them not dueling the rides, but I couldn't resist posting this

Went to the media shoot and rode Windseeker today. I can honestly say I really enjoyed the ride. It wasn't overly intense, but it had enough thrill to satisfy everyone. The view it provides however is quite amazing! And while the speakers don't work at the very top, hearing music on the way up and on the way down was a nice perk! The ride cycle itself is a bit short, however, I can understand why. Haunt Maze setup is in full swing, and it looks as if several mazes have already been completed (from an outside view): Big Top Of The Bizzare Virus Z London Terror??? (not sure, didn't see that much of it from the Ghost Rider Lift) Didn't see any construction at all for the Sleepy Hallow, Dia De Los Muertos, Endgames or Invasion Beneath. Fallout Shelter was well under way and based on Jeff Tucker's Twitter Posts, it sounds like Delirium is coming along nicely. Ride Count: Ghostrider: 1x (back row) Xcelerator: 2x (once in the front, once in the back) Windseeker: 3x Silver Bullet: 1x Calico Mine Ride: 1x (no sign of any Haunt construction) I was there till noon, so I didn't get that much in, however the crowds were still relatively light. Perilous (as usual) was closed.

Xcelerator in the back row, around noon today.

^ All my cousins still stubbornly refer to SFDK as Marine World.

The only thing about these changes is the negative impact it has on the screen size for the iPads. There is now a large black bar on the side where the ad isn't. This isn't a big deal however, and I just wanted to point it out.

^What you forget is that there are houses very close to the parking lot (noise complaints galore), and I believe the height maximum goes down the closer you get to the parking lot.

Only five more days... Another intereresting thing about Bay Area Bash...the ?Park Manager? or some higher up used to be the manager of Hard Rock Park...that was a bit strange to me...

I ressponded, but I'm not sure if I did in time... Edit: Looks like I'm in! Can't wait!

I sent in my email! Hopefully I can make it and finally be able to meet more TPRers!
