^ Zamperla Volare translates to Jack Bauer's torture machine.

^Miami might work, but to me they are more suited to a boardwalk type park for the whole family rather than a "thrill park". Another state makes more sense. Vegas actually seems like the type of location they would thrive in.

^The leafs are a much better team than last year for sure. If the leafs can squeak in to the last couple playoff spots, they may end up playing the Caps in the first round. Ovie's got four goals. So does Clarke MacCarthur for a fraction of the price..lol

They had better well do it right if they want to be successful in that market. Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, not to mention all the other small parks in Orlando and Busch Gardens an hour away.

^You live near Toronto and your a sens fan? Shame on you! Sounds like Leclaire's hurt now. All of a sudden, things are going the leafs way, which is pretty rare.

Leafs still undefeated!!!!

Didn't see this coming at all. I wonder what Cedar Point is gonna do to respond.

Damn, the ride looks sweet. TPR trip to Florida in 2012? I definitely think they need to do something about the name though.

Awesome pics. BGW really gave you guys a great tour.

That's true about Avery. The league is apparently looking into what he did before Wisniewski did the deed. And the Devils are in a big mess now aren't they. They can't expect to play the full season like this.

Wow!! I love technology!

Nice pics.

Anyone see the "obscene gesture" Wisniewski gave Avery today? I just had to laugh. Avery was actually the innocent party on this one.

Leafs are 2-0!!!

BLASTED INTAMIN CABLE!! LOL....But seriously, I hope everyone's okay.

It definitely depends on the ride. If it has alot of airtime, it's usually best to sit at the back for the full effect. Although if you want to be more open on the ride, the front is obviously the best choice.

Looks pretty much the same as Mumbo Jumbo and Steel Hawg except the drop claims to be just barely steeper. Having that claim is huge for a park though.

^That makes more sense to me. At least that's how it probably should be done if it's not done that way already.

That's definitely true. First time I visited there, I had wondered if we had gotten lost. It's definitely in the middle of nowhere, but if you build it....

If for some reason, the system glitched or failed during launch, the fail safe should have meant the brakes closed slowing the train down on the launch and rolling back on the incline. On the way back down on the rollback, the brakes should have still been closed and should have completely stopped the train. As it is, that never happened.

If I were Cedar Fair, I would really investigate Knott's thoroughly. The state may want to look into it too. Very strange. I'm definitely glad this wasn't more serious.

It would be a small pier park but I'm sure Houston would welcome the park relatively nearby after losing Astroworld.

How many more are they gonna build? Still looks cool though.

Those trains look great. The theme is perfect for Texas and they look very comfortable.

^^Maybe they should ask for donations to hire a web developer/designer..lol
