I second that!

Give me some candy!! It pays to have learned French! Also, about Predator at Darien Lake. I'm glad to hear they did something about the ungodly amount of pain on Predator. I vowed never to ride it again but I'll take your word for it and try it next time I visit. Thanks for the update.

We don't know that the 12 definitely means 12 coasters. It could refer to the year 2012. Fact is, we don't know whats happening yet.

Wisconsin Cheese....Cheese it's good!!

Great pics! I will definitely be visiting next year.

Leafs games are always sold out, at ridiculous ticket prices, even when they were 15th in the east and have missed the playoffs 5 straight years.

Now does that vertical drop get like a brake at the top like on the B&M dive coasters? I'd like to see someone pull this off. Hey, how about a wooden Stratacoaster while your at it. Get Intamin and GG together using the Pre-Fab track and the Timberliner trains. What could possibly go wrong?

^Umm...yeah. that looks like fun now doesn't it. Please no inverted wood coaster, or heartline roll for that matter.

I thought the general consensus was that the Intamin cable was to blame. What if not all 10 brakes were working to begin with? Lets say a few had failed before the incident due to the paint. The rest of the brakes that worked were able to stop the train anyways. Then a couple more fail and the train doesn't stop. If there weren't any proper inspections, that could be possible. That would be extremely negligent of KBF but unless they give us a better explanation, people will speculate.

I haven't ridden El Toro, or any Intamin pre-fabs, but from what I understand, they are very smooth, even to the point of not feeling like a wooden coaster. To me, a wooden coaster needs to feel bumpy or rough, but not so much so that its very painful. Great Coasters and The Gravity Group do a good job. Edit: I should add, Intamin does do a good job though as El Toro is ranked #2 wooden coaster even though it may not feel so much like a wooden ride. It definitely depends on what your looking for.

^No way there's 6700 people there, unless the other side of the arena is more full.

Well, It's definitely a good trade off. For me anyways. I hate those looping ships. Some will be disappointed, but in the end, a 301 foot Windseeker is a great addition to the park.

If you like roller coasters at all, and I assume since your on this forum you do, Hebron is an hour from King's Island and about 4 or so hours from Cedar Point. Add about an hour or so for Lexington and Indianapolis. Great location for coasters. Seattle is a very nice city though, if you can afford it. Fits the criteria you listed. Cost of living is higher there though.

Hmm, that's funny... You can clearly see it in the picture. Unless CW decided they needed the space for the queue or expansion of the path. I have no problem with the Minebuster at all. I rode it bout 2 months ago 2nd car from the back. It feels like a wooden coaster but not what I would call painful. I haven't ridden the Wild Beast in a while but it makes more sense to remove that one in my opinion. Top Gun/Flight Deck and Tomb Raider/Time Warp are much more painful. Oh, and the Predator at Darien Lake is brutal.

Where did you hear this?

Maybe I can borrow my dad's pick up. A road trip sounds like fun!! There's still hope then!!

^^Well they finally lost, but if you went back to the beginning of the season and were offered 9 of 10 points, you'd take it. The leafs never gave up. Roloson stole the game as he usually does against the leafs.

^ Ha! I will shave my ass if that happens.

A 212 foot Aquatrax? I kinda doubt that, but we'll see.

Here's a new video from Ferrari World. Skip to about 1:03 to see the launch.

Damn, thats a nice shot. The lighting makes it look spectacular.

I watched it for the first time today after seeing this post. I definitely don't despise the show like you, but your footage is definitely more fun to watch. TWISTY!!

^That definitely seems very small. They would be able to build the stuff they want to open the park, but there's no room for expansion.

^^Definitely was a clean hit, but at first it didn't really look that way. The game moves so fast it's hard to see.

LEAFS 4-0!!!! WE UNDEFEATED!!
