But Drachen Fire wasn't meant to be an Arrow. Yeah, BGW wanted to go with B&M like BGT, but I think B&M decided it was too much for them at the time. They were still pretty small back then and Kumba was easily the largest project they had ever done back at that point.

I find it hard to believe that there are so many people here that are at least somewhat disappointed by the announcement. It's a freaking Giga coaster! How many parks have a Giga coaster? It's definitely not what I had expected CW to go for, but I'm definitely happy.

You didn't skimp on the picture taking. Great job. The new paint jobs on Batman and Superman really make the skyline look better.

Considering they are already paying 28 million dollars for this, I can understand why it is the final brake run.

^^Yup...confirmed. Layout looks alot like a B&M hyper, but just taller.

Steel: Kingda Ka Wood: El Toro

It's funny, I was just discussing this with someone during the Road To CP trip. I think it had been more about parks not wanting or not being able to pay for a 300ft B&M and as such, it never happened.

^Anyone here good at hacking passwords?

Nice looking little parks.

Either a wing rider, or a really big dive coaster. That's my guess.

I visited Lombardi's with a few other Road to CP members the day before the trip and it completely lived up to they hype. Unbelievably delicious.

Behemoth kicks ass, but other than that and probably Vortex, I definitely agree. I am definitely looking forward to whatever the new B&M is. http://www.cwmania.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2051&start=2385 I won't put any money on that, but it sounds like a pretty good source. We'll find out in a few days.

Here's a few of the better pictures I took with my camera. The first drop! Hammerhead! We got really close! Kingda Ka! Twisty!! Awesomeness! Thanks Robb, Elissa and Six Flags Great Adventure for giving us this unique opportunity!

That was a wet and wild weekend to say the least. That ERT session on Phoenix will live on in history. Even Rick Knobel grabbed a sword and rode with us. Thanks for uploading the singing cows too. That, along with Piers singing Gaga, can't be unseen.

Those walk backs were amazing. Gotta get my photo's off my SD card.

Windseeker.

Cool! How much did that cost to build?

The park can't even get it right. It's spelled Fujiqueue. Sounds like you guys had about as good a day as you could have hoped for.

^I definitely enjoyed the Toronto Zoo the times I've visited. Lots to see. Last time I visited CW there was some cheer-leading completion going on and it was pretty crazy, but I still had fun even with the crowds. Line jumping was pretty bad though, but hopefully they will have more security around on a festival day. Have fun.

Wooden Warrior really looks great!

I hope your right, but you never know.

They are talking about multiple hotels, malls, restaurants, bars as well. That's a pretty ambitious project to say the least. To me, it sounds like they are going for the Paramount version of Universal Studios. That's an awful big risk.

^Yeah, That's what I heard.

Did Piers get a rush from the coaster, or the beer? Great report!

Next Tuesday can't come quick enough. The Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel are so iconic. Can't wait to visit!
