Still haven't watched any POV or animation of this ride, but the early reactions have me more psyched for Coastermania than I already had been.

Grabbing a ride or two on a traditional Intamin Invert is on my list of things to do- sorry to hear that Tornado underwhelmed you.

HP Elite X3 I'm the oddball who isn't on either Team Android or iOS. Hopefully Windows gets their shit together (marketing-wise) and this isn't the last Windows Phone ever. If it is, well, they finally got it right. Once the price goes down a bit, I'll grab another to have as backup with the intention of staving off the inevitable decision between iOS or Android that I'll have to make. There really need to be more than two legit players in this game.

HOORAY! Screw summer, I'm looking forward to my long-awaited pneumonia rides on Batman!

It's encouraging that the release mentions that operations will be largely unchanged. We'll see how that actually plays out, but hopefully things keep on keeping on at Vekoma. I've really enjoyed the turnaround in their reputation, at least among the coaster peoples- and look forward to what they bring us in the future.

Don't go giving them any ideas! I still think the best place for "a hi-tech, thrilling, VR experience" is on the ground (restrooms, parking lot etc.) If SFMM's food ops are anything like SFGAm's, they ought to just hand them out as you enter the thrilling 45 minute beer line.

Wow, that train takes the course at a pretty nice clip.

Shit just got real. Very excited for this!

peek a boo

Went to the Music Frozen Dancing winter block party outside of the Empty Bottle on 2/17 to catch a free Oh Sees show. Outdoor music in Chicago during winter, especially with snow, is neat.

Great report! I haven't visited Disney anything since I was a kid- it was sometime during the Disney World 25th anniversary. Lately, I've been thinking of giving it a shot, and reports like this make it look like good times.

Loving this coaster kick that Poland is on.

B&M Rattle strikes again

Round Hawk and Cage Hawk

Did they build this park on Indian burial grounds?

Great photos of a great park!

I got a chuckle out of Theme: Satan at the bottom of that listing.

No one to blame but myself for getting my hopes up about some form of HITP, and then essentially getting a Super Loop Coaster announced at me twice. Have a Six Flags day, everyone.

In my experience, there are far more terrifying things that lurk in and around Wal-Mart parking lots than in the wilderness.

This is actually the ride that kicked off the current VR craze.

I was actually thinking it would look great near Joker at SFNE, and complement their Goliath/Flashback pairing quite nicely.

Specifics aren't known yet, this looks like some premature information slippage. As for keeping to the schedule, even the two psycho Six Flags parks didn't entirely follow through on their schedules this past HITP- that just comes with the package when you open the gates in the middle of winter. With how things transpired during Last Call, I definitely wouldn't count on a perfect record.

!!!!!!!! This hypothermia will be delicious.

This is great news! After all the TRs over the years that I've read here, eventually going on one was always a goal. Very happy to see the opportunity for that is back- Thank You for that.

I seem to recall X-Flight having cold weather issues in the past- I know they managed to get it going on the last day of Last Call (around 30 degrees), so perhaps it's just more finicky than the other B&Ms in general? I think you'd see Superman, Batman: The Ride (and the one in a box), V2, Demon, and maybe Raging Bull going during a hypothetical HITP. Raging Bull is the one I'm unsure of, because as Bill and others have brought up, they might just not bother with Southwest Territory.
