Six Flags New England-4 New Creits (will be returning next year to finish my credits) Knoebel's----------------2 New Credits Seabreeze---------------1 New Credit (for some reason i had never ridden Bobsleds) Busch Gardens Tampa---2 New Credits (Cheetah Hunt and Gwazi Tiger [which has never been open every time i visited]) Cedar Point-------------13 New Credits (4 Missed) I'm not one yet too, i plan to go to Knoebel's again sometime in september so i can do more of the flats and water rides. I didn't ride Skloosh or the flume because it was 48'F and raining when i visited in may! I wasn't THAT desperate to ride them When i go in September i'll be sure to ride them. I missed many flats that day because i had limited time also and chose to ride the Phoenix and Twister again and again instead of riding the flat rides.

Storm Runner isn't an LIM launch. It's a hydraulic launch. -

Possessed at Dorney Park and Volcano at Kings Dominion. Both were really powerful, the Premier spaghetti bowl rides (two of which i have been on) didn't compare at all. -

Six Flags St. Louis' two "River King Mine Train" coasters. -
I watched "What About Bob?" today, and it was just as funny as the last time i watched it! What a brilliant film...Bill Murray was a riot in it!

Devil's Haircut by Beck. Not the studio version though, the remix by Noel Gallagher. Good Stuff.

Does anyone think that will happen? lol First of all I still say the experiences look quite different and I could easily see how people would prefer Behemoth. Plus... now the park has 2 great coasters... if you're spending the whole day I'd imagine you'd ride both multiple times. Exactly. Did Millenium Force become any less popular when the Dragster was built? No. -

Perhaps they couldn't build the drop as high as they wanted, so the used the Riverview park trick and lowered it below ground level? -

Still though, why not put the brake run closer to the station level instead of spend more money and have a huge raised ramp? This reminds me a lot of the corkscrews on Vortex @ King's Island. Just one of those Wtf moments on a coaster. -

^If that truly is an image of it, I'm glad B&M are going back to the four across seating. I hate to say this, but i really hate how the Diamondback/ Behemoth trains look. They just look so huge and have none of the elegance that their single-row car trains have. Just my thoughts... -

600ft tall aquatrax with a 200ft deep underwater tunnel -
Actually, drachen fire wasn't the only coaster with those elements. Kennywood's skyrocket and DLP's space mountain both have cutbacks, cobra rolls and interlocking corkscrews have been done several times now, and airtime hills have been done. But Drachen Fire was unique in it's layout and i love the flow and the pacing was brilliantly. Also, the first drop looked great and was totally out of the box for a steel looping coaster. But the coaster was just executed in the worst way possible - much like The Bat at kings island or The Rattler at fiesta texas. Beautifully unique concept but executed poorly. If only Arrow had involved Mr. Stengle or at least used hearlining. Arrow always had really unique ideas though...

^Why does everyone want a flyer for Busch? back right when wolfie was taken out, alot of people said they would want a flyer to use the old BBW and DF areas for a flyer themed to a dragon like drachen fire was. Well, i could care less about a flyer. They're good, but B&M's best coasters are their Inverters and Sit-Downs. It's a sin they've only built five. Now what if busch finally got their wish from 1991 and got a B&M sit down back there well, dream are dreams and that'l probobaly never happen. That's a pretty bad site for a coaster as far as location goes. it really away from the main park.
