I'm guessing "payola" is a big part of a Chinese safety inspection. Yeah, that's pretty sketchy.

Still haven't been to Italy for either parks or culture--must rectify that someday.

Luckily enough there is nothing "redneck" about the attractions at the park. All the conversions of buckets and machinery is really well engineered. Yes, the "redneck" amusement rides in the states look downright dangerous. I'm pretty sure I'd need a ginger ale to settle my stomach after riding the Spin Dizzy, though. Oh come on Chuck, I "broke" this exclusive news on TPR when it was announced Forgot about that--sorry, Larry. I guess I should've done more excavation on the site to find that info.

Unless they're going to build Disney Quest West . . . sorry--just being silly.

Yep--head choppers galore.

Sounds logical--may as well cooperate so that both parks can reap the benefits.

This is an interesting development--and a logical one.

W: Wild World of Batwoman

^Yep--Jack Rabbit got me good the first time I rode it, too. I'm betting that Twisted Colossus will have the same effect.

Looks like another great walk-through haunt to go with the park's other haunt--excellent promo video.

This one.

^Yep--Cosmic Age, the Galaxy, the Inn of Tomorrow, and the Space Age Lodge.

^Nice color scheme.

Hmm--yeah, not a very cool move, KD Golden Years. Be sure to give credit where credit is due. (Or are you, in fact, Dale Brumfield?) As for Hurler, it was a good, airtime-filled (believe it or not) ride. But it did not age well.

^I had the same issue with Gatekeeper's restraints (but not with Wild Eagle's); however, I think that issue was resolved with Cedar Point's ride (so maybe B&M has applied it to the other Wing coasters, too).

^Double downs are great elements--more coasters should have them.

I think they should do a luxury version of Stovall's Space Age Lodge.

^^I'll go along with that. It would be great to have seen the original Coney parks in their heyday. I've always been intrigued by the old Freedomland U.S.A. park in New York City's Bronx. It certainly had an interesting layout.

Yep--definitely looks like a good reason to visit Six Flags Magic Mountain again.

I'm glad that Afterburn also provides a valuable public service.

I imagine those would've worn away by now.

^Tea cup rides, round-ups, and motion simulators can get to me, too (Europe in the Air included).

^Yes, the spalsh boat ride was located where Backlot Stunt Coaster is now.
