Reckon it'll be Kings Dominion for East Coast Bash.

Time to give it the "Bizarro" makeover, then reopen.

Looking forward to next weekend, as the previous two weekends have kind of sucked (spent part of them at the office). On the upside, next weekend will be a three-day one for me--yay!

^The Busch parks seem to have a love/hate relationship with single-rider lines. BGW has them for Apollo's Chariot and Griffon, but they've haven't been open much this season, and I think they did away with the one for DarKastle. It would be nice to see single-rider lines for Kraken and Manta.

^No fair using foam-rubber hammers.

SOB was a "no good seat anywhere" ride.

^I hope it's one of them tasty cinnamon rolls.

Hmm--somehow, I missed this part.

^I think the blurriness on its own would be enough to keep others from using it.

^Don't give them any ideas.

^I have to admit, that's a clever way to spam a park's Facebook page--actually post something relevant that pimps your business. Cause that would be good for business! I think they should buy Bandit from Movie World and put it there.

Agreed. Replacing it with a Wacky Worm would be an improvement. It'll be great to see all that real estate available for something good.

I love how all those rides interact at Europa.

It'll be a story told by a boy, a flashlight shining in his face, to scare his friends.

Replacing it with an Applebee's would be an improvement. Good riddance, sez I.

^The two versions of Flight of Fear are pretty old (1996). I imagine Premier got better as they went along. The first B&M was the wretched Iron Wolf.

Hmm--not sure this "backwards" thing is a good idea for Batman.

Waffle dogs? You intrigue me, sir!

I think Thunderhead, Wild Eagle notwithstanding, is the best coaster at Dollywood, too. It was running great when I was there last April; unfortunately, I waited too long for cinnamon bread and missed out.

^Flight of Fear was, indeed, pretty wretched when it had OTSRs.

^Your last caption is the Post of the Week! There's more to Galaxyland than I'd originally thought--thanks for the look. Definitely looks worth a visit for Mindbender, the shooter, and the haunted house.

I'd be hard-pressed to choose between Grona Lund and Liseberg--both are great parks with beautiful settings. Then again, Liseberg has Balder.

There was a bird collision during TPR's ERT session on Stealth at Thorpe Park back in 2006. Poor thing never knew what hit it.

One thing you don't need to do to get air on the New Texas Giant is "jump."

My god, there's even a "Griffon" in the upper-left corner (they should sell this one at BGW).
