^Perhaps we could afford riders in fire suits holding Roman candles while riding Xcelerator.

I went over to the park today for a wee bit of coaster riding and to check out nay Howl-o-Scream prep that may be going on. I imagine that the HOS gears will kick into high following Labor Day, but here's a look at what I found. Oh, were they now? So far, the HOS prep isn't very intrusive. Spot the Dark Butterfly of Horror! So far, crows have taken residence at Cutthroat Cove. No sign of any scalawags or n'er-do-wells yet. The new Lumberhacks maze is supposed to be in the woods behind Verbolten. Looks like something new has been built. I assume this is for Lumberhacks (but I could be mistaken). I wonder if the old Drachen Fire barn is going to house at least some of Lumberhacks. There have been mazes there in the past. Bitten's Bloodsuckers have already started moving into the old Drachen Fire Station--or did they ever leave? Hmm--I think this is part of the new Cornered maze. Root of All Evil was here in the past. The Grim Reaper is waiting to be installed in front of the Catacombs in France. Dude looks a bit lonesome. But he has a few Hell Beasts to keep him company. More Catacombs prep. I rather like this maze (good atmosphere) but it's been here a long time--only Bitten is older. Looks like the German villagers are wasting no time getting ready for Vampire Point. "Ven monsters is loose, boards must be tight." It's always Howl-o-Scream at DarKastle. A ghost from BGW's past that you can still ride in Mexico. My guess is that after Bier Fest, this bar will morph into the Casket Club for HOS. For all you Drachen Fire fans out there. I'm not one of you, but I mean no disrespect. I wonder what they've "Unearthed" so far? Looks like they found an ancient snack-cake wrapper. And for all you Questor fans (this was the best ride they ever had in the Europe in the Air building). May as well end with a coaster shot. Thanks for reading.

^Yep--signature item.

Loch Ness Monster--Busch Gardens Williamsburg

^An RMC coaster with a Joker theme would be great; then again. an RMC themed to a jar of mustard would be great, as well.

Hmm--we already have a thread that covers this topic: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=10764#p10764. Please feel free to post your thoughts there. Thank you.

Hollywood Dream--Universal Japan

^Aw-w-w-w-w . . .

Who remembers the random Hailstorm that we got the one WCB at SFMM during a Terminator construction site tour? I was on Ninja at the time and boy did that hurt!! I remember that. I will be upset at Knott's if there is no fried chicken. Everything else is a bonus! Don't forget the boysenberry pie.

When the Magic Kingdom brings back 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

The name of the coaster changed in 2012. Now it is just X. For me, it will always be "X:\No Way Out." Moving right along . . . Boomerang--Knott's

^You forgot ":\No Way Out." Young Star Coaster--Chimelong Paradise

Does it come at you with a knife and say, "I'm not a cat! Never call me a cat!"

Ultra Twister--Nagashima Spa Land

I'll go along with Comet at Hersheypark. It's a fun, old-school woodie that no one talks much about.

Space World proves that our vast universe is one wacky place--that park is a lot of fun.

I'd say it's a coin toss. Monday should be the slowest day for either park.

I agree that something along the lines of an Intamin Mega Lite or Lightning Run would be a great addition to Knott's.

True, but they've been taking the right steps over the last few years (for example, the log ride and mine train upgrades). I do miss the Wacky Soapbox Racers and Parachute Sky Jump, though.

But I still love Magnum, the suspended coasters, Gemeni, Loch Ness Monster and the mine trains. I think Arrow's big problem is that they didn't keep up with the times, but they still designed some good rides (particularly Tennessee Tornado). Other ride manufacturers, such as B&M and Intamin, passed them by.

Or you could just be really bad at them.
