^Hope you get it back. I was on the backstage tour last year on the TPR trip and it was amazing how many phones, hats, maps you could see lying on the ground around the coaster.

You can do Knoebels in 5-7 hours for sure, but if you can make a full day out of it, I would highly recommend it.

I'd do Knoebels on the Tuesday rather than SFA on the Wednesday. Knoebels is one of the best parks in the country, where as SFA is one of the worst. Obviously they have more credits, but Knoebels is far and away the better experience. As far as SFNE on Memorial day goes, get the fast pass and you'll be fine.

I hope so. I don't want to go back to that park for another credit. A new coaster would definitely help the park, but they have other more important issues to fix first IMO.

Be safe.

I much prefer the Maurer ones. So, that probably means the Gertslauer ones spin more.

Great TR Chad. I always like seeing TR's from places that don't get alot of attention, like this one for example, as well as Frontier City and Michigan's Adventure. I think I would say Michigan's Adventure is my favorite. I'm going to have to think about a caption for that photo.

It would make sense for them to replace this ride with something with higher capacity so it wasn't really surprising to hear it was for sale. The ride is still listed as such here, 3 days after that article stating otherwise was published.

As texcaoster mentioned, the lap bar only trains that run at Wiener Prater are even better than the ones on Carolina Cobra. You put those on and complaints will diminish by 94.7% The way I see it they would be like "I'm not riding Boomerang, it isn't safe" as it doesn't have over the shoulder restraints to keep you from falling out of the train during the loops.

Definitely the anti-rollbacks on Arrow and PTC coasters.

nah - gives too much shade!! Fair enough

They should just send that to Six Flags America. It would fit in perfectly!

I would have to guess either Tulsa, or Superior. Train Town looks like a nice place.

I didn't have enough time to make it up there. It's definitely a legit credit, if you, or anyone ever ends up out there. Very reasonably priced indoor park in the mall.

You didn't go get the indoor Mack credit in Quebec City, or did you already have that one? Too bad about Sauble's coasters not being running. Their website still lists Looping Star as "Now Open" and says nothing at all about them not running.

Forgot to upload this last week, so here it is. Also, just in case you missed it.

This saga just won't die.

Actually, that's a good question. For everything they get themselves involved in, this at least sounds like a situation where someone should step in.
