I feel that I've entered some sort of time loop here. Therefore, I'm going to break it by mentioning Windseeker and Dinosaurs Alive. Done.

Poseidon's Fury looked pretty frightening.

And, thus, the thread has come full circle.

My impression was that the water park was Mt. Olymous's main draw, so this makes sense to me.

I didn't quite understand the scope of the Fantasyland makeover--much more extensive than I had thought. But it's good to see that part of the park getting some love.

Maybe the park will sell official Verbolten underpants for those victimized by the gnomes.

What's wrong with gnomes? Present company excepted, of course.

Gnomes. Why did it have to be gnomes? I like what I'm seeing from the park so far. Verbolten is shaping up to be one very interesting attraction.

Same here! The concept art for Grizzly Gulch looked pretty intriguing.

I'll put my response together after Christmas, but I think the only big change will be Phoenix rising higher in my top ten.

^Agreed. It's not about what an element is called. It's all about "is the darn thing any fun at all?" My guess is that the answer for Skyrush will be "yes."

^The only ride of this type that I've ridden was Steel Hawg at Indiana Beach. I thought the layout was fun, but found the trains uncomfortable. I'm hoping the S&S has solved this problem with the new lapbar system in Green Lantern.

Sierra Mist replaced lemon-lime slice, but I think other Slice flavors are still available from Walmart (at least accoring to Wikipedia). Getting back on topic, I'm looking forward to seeing Noeit Al's Verbolten pics. After I finish up my holiday travels, I'll probably hit Christmas Town one more time to see how the ride is coming along.

I'm convinced that Sierra Mist is the urine of Satan--Sprite and Sprite Zero are much better.

Hmm--I really don't see any point to this thread. As you imply in your post, it would be a lot of work for someone with a high coaster count to break it down by manufacturer. Thread locked, at least for now.

It's good to see Verbolten moving right along--they seem to be keeping a good pace on the construction.

The winter coats and the restraints make it look like everyone is wearing body armor. I didn't care for Python, but I agree that the new trains look good (and they worked well on Carolina Cobra).

"This video is private." First time I've ever seen that message come up on You Tube.

^Just in the head.

I've never been to Santa's Land, but here's the story from the Boston Globe: http://bostonglobe.com/metro/2011/12/17/santa-land-close-after-more-than-half-century/gkLuryPHGhI5Y2ayeCZsQO/story.html

^No need to SHOUT young man.

So, the "corn cannon" would be a form of "extreme corn hole"?

I'm having trouble decoding this sentence. So, if Vekoma coasters were the last coasters on Earth, you'd enjoy them?

I think if anyone can make a "go" of this location it's Legoland. The old Cypress Gardens Adventure Park didn't cut it because it was basically a carnival on a lake. The Gardens are in good hands now.

I might consider canceling my pass if they switched to RC. I prefer Coke products, but have no objection to Pepsi. I never buy refillable cups because I hate lugging them around.
