Sadly, it's the truth...

I was at a local Italian place having pasta.

Rebecka Black will be attending my High School next year.... Need I say more?

Not as bad as having to tell your friends that Rebecka Black will be attending your high school next year... And she will be... Currently listening to: Thnks Fr Th Mmrs - Fallout Boy

I recently acquired a copy of Super Mario Bros. All Stars for the Wii.... I'm glad it was only thirty dollars because the game sucks! It's just a port of the 1992 SNES game.

I'm riding this beat in exactly two weeks and I cannot wait! Everything about this ride looks impressive! he queue the exhibit, and the coaster itself! This will be my 90th Credit!

It's kind of funny now that I look at the design... It almost seems as if Intamin built the first half of the ride, planning on two launches, then realized they needed more speed, so they put in a third launch to get the ride through the rest of the course with decent speed. Being an avid Roller Coater Tycoon player, it almost seems as if Intamin pulled a real life "RCT" move with this coaster. I'm not saying that it's true, it's just when I look at the design, it almost looks like that's what happened. Notice how the first two launches are close together, while the third one is sort of in the back... Just a little quirky observation...

Hell Yeah Mike Mike!

Now that we all await the opening of Cheetah Hunt, a large group of us in chat today had a discussion about what Busch should do next with the park. Our group came up with two things: The addition of some new thrilling flats to satisfy crowds on busier days. And, the more interesting thing we came up with was Scorpion. Now, according to several people, Scorpion has only been running one train for quite a while now? It seems as if Busch, for next year, or sometime in the future, could do something to Scorpion. We got the idea of doing a "reboot" for the ride. Zerier, who will be doing Verbolten for BGW, also built the replacement trains for Test Tack (Dorney's Laser) when it returned to the traveling fair circut. It seems as if Scorpion is in need of new trains, possibly higher themed ones. BGT could perform a large rehab on Scorpion, maybe add some new theming of some kind, and re-market the attraction for the entire year. A quick marketing scheme, but one that would also increase the overall capacity of a coaster, and keep a classic ride in the park. It seems as if this could occur, as evidenced by the fact that Gwazi recieved new trains this year as well. All this is "Blue Sky", but It could indeed occur. Just food for thought No please, continue praising Cheetah Hunt, I'll be riding it in exactly two weeks from tomorrow!

The original I enjoyed much more, but I just didn't like how many limitations it had....

If it carries over anything from the atrocity known as Thrillville, I won't be picking up a copy. On the other hand, this could be good! They may finally create a game that could rival RCT. /sarcasm ...yeah no. After Thrillvile.... I don't think Frontier will be able to make a decent theme park game...

I know I'm a minority here, but I love CGA. i've always though the park was beautifully landscaped and well balanced when it came to ride and attractions. It's really a shame that Cedar Fair has pushed this park to the edge of their focus, as I believe that it could grow astronomically with a bit of care... Crossing my fingers that come August (when CF rides are usually announced) that the rumored attraction, whatever it may be, will really be announced. I think that if they don't add a new attraction for next year, it's a clear sign that they are basically not investing in the park, and pretty much are throwing in the towel...

^ I believe that the reason they have the upcharge was because of the insane line X2 usually gets. I was surprised they did this, but I paid the upcharge and got a ride on it with no wait during Spring Break. I'm not surprised they are doing this same style of upcharge for Dare Devil Dive at SFOG. The capacity of the ride simply does not allow for some many people to skip the line. The wait time would be astronomical. (although not as bad as the legendary 6 hour wait )

The reason, so I've been told, for the the pre drops was to disengage from the the chain lift. The style of the catch car on the train required the pre-drop to disconnect from the chain. B&M has redesigned their catch car system, so pre-drop are no longer needed (unless asked for). This is going to be interesting! I wonder if the theming will be as good, or better than Montu's....

Get ready for my first ever MixMaster RCT3 display: SALUTE TO THE PARTY Featuring the song "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO! Coming Soon! Shot0365.bmp Get ready to rock!

How about he makes a park for fun, and not for the people who play "pretty building tycoon" on NE (As RD appropriately stated). Seriously, people just need to make parks for fun...If you're trying to make a park to win some dumb award, then it's not fun anymore... / end rant Anyway, the park looks great, especially iSpeedimidator 305.

Oh boy... it seems this project has been given the green light.. it does look rather interesting though... http://news.travel.aol.com/2011/05/19/noahs-ark-theme-park-gets-final-go-ahead-in-kentucky/ Topography Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUyVva4I4D4 Exodus Ride Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8enuyjzRKlY This ride actually looks rather interesting... I wonder what comany would do this ride? Maybe SallyCorp? Anyway, is there anything else that could make this project more, I dunno, unfeasable?

Is there any indication as to when Spiderman will open with these new upgrades?

Just one question, which day will be which park? This is important because I need to plan my lodging accordingly.

In my video of the Windseeker Construction Tour from WCB, they mentioned that the additional delay besides moving the ride from the old location was encountered. After the earthquake in Japan, the earthquake standards were in limbo for CA. With a structure as large as Windseeker's, they had to review the plans for the ride, and how deep the foundations would be. After the plans were reviewed, the ride went back to being built, but it caused about a month of lost time I believe. Glad to see the ride going vertical! I hope they can indeed get it open by the 4th Of July Weekend!

Wow awesome trip report! Just another one of those bizarre yet awesome looking animal attractions in Florida!

Hello Everyone, This is Alexander (SoCalCoasters) I'm sorry to inform that Bell Gardens will be on hold until the beginning of June. School work has been getting in the way of updates and park building. The Factory's indoor theming is nearly complete. I just need to finish the exterior structure and station/queue . If anyone would be interested in creating a better logo for my new coaster, please contact me. The Factory should be posted this weekend, and then I will go into hibernation for around a month (maybe less). The Factory is quite a large project, and took much longer than I had originally anticipated. I am sorry for such a long delay. This project, in my opinion, is my greatest creation so far. I created a fantastic NCS indoor roller coaster. I hope to impress you with my work as soon as possible. To all my devoted followers (if I have any ) Don't give up on this thread. Over the summer, I hope to get Bell Gardens through the 80's and into the early 90's. The plan is actually finish the park completely this summer, but to update the park with planned updates prepared over the summer. This way, you will be able to view my work regularly, and I won't be stretched for time and release a half baked job. I hope to create an NCS Masterpiece that everyone will be impressed with! Wish Me Luck! -SoCalCoasters

Looking good! I want to see more shots of that Corkscrew Coaster!

(While in line for Pony Express at Knott's) Kid: You see that pink coaster over there? Yeah, it's called Xcelerator and it launches you at two hundred miles per hour up there and then it does three loops!!!!! Me: (facepalm)
