^the frisbees are so much fun, so are the screamin swings. I make it a point to ride both MaxAir and Skyhawk at CP. I also enjoyed the half ride I got on Tomb Raider (I guess it's called the crypt now? Havent been since CF bought the Paramount parks) at KI. The year it was put in we got through half of the program and then it broke, the lights came on and we swung to a stop for about 15-20 minutes.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Now that's funny. -
I hope they do spruce up the park a bit. As awesome as a new "top-shelf-never-been-done-before-ultra-mega-only-here-at-SFMM" coaster would be, I was not too impressed with the atmosphere of the park when I went. To me it seemed like a coaster haven with the minimum essential GP and family pleasers thrown in. As a coaster entusiast I wouldn't mind if it was a chunk of land with a bunch of coasters, I'd still be happy. But as I grow older I'm finding I enjoy walking around a park and taking in the atmosphere and snapping pictures of things other than coasters. There is a lot of buildings that could use some loving and some areas they've done a good job with upgrading. DC universe was great but I thought it could use a tree or two in the main area.

18/20 on US/Canada 15/20 on Europe Admittedly the Europe was a lot of guess work besides the major attractions -

So how about that new racer slide at Soak City? I have no interest in dinos so I won't be paying to see it. The only thing I can see as being potentially good is some new pics of MF from MilF Island. -

I'm good with that! Even if I'm not able to go the TR would definitely be worth it, just like all of the others -
California Screamin' is a 2-3 minute Intamin on the West Coast. That was my point - he said the West Coast needed something, but then gave an example of that exact thing that already exists. Haha I clearly forgot a "more" somewhere in my statement. I know CS is a decent length but why not have more Intamin on the west coast? It's kind of odd if you think about it, all of the Intamin in the US and they're cluttered in the North east/Midwest with a few scattered about for some reason.

^Possibly. Though a splashdown at the start of the ride would be unique and kind of symbolize the start of your battle with Leviathan But I guess that would also slow the train a bit too. -

Another curiosity of mine is at the bottom of the first drop, there's a ditch, is this going to be filled with water for a "splashdown" effect? The vids/pics show just a concrete hole... -

I'll say I'm happy Leviathan has these trains, but I also haven't been on the V trains. I just like the look of the straight 4 a lot better. -

Good call for sure! I've always thought it would be a perfect name for a massive coaster and here it is -

Not going to lie I'm slightly disappointed, was hoping for more twistys. But I am more excited than disappointed as a B&M fan boy. I'm glad they finally broke into the giga game and I think the first 1/3 of the ride (drop turn and low hill) are going to be intense and fun as hell. The last 2/3 looks to play out just like any other of their hypers. Earlier in the thread somebody mentioned that the final brake run had some height to it and should have made a twisty ending. I agree this should have happened but money is the real factor and I understand why they didn't do this. Either way I really need to get to Canada next summer to ride this and the 15 other credits there. -

^Pretty much any new major coaster is going to boost attendance. The GP will see adds or hear about it from a friend and flock, it's what they're good at. We as enthusiasts are going to flock because we believe it's going to be a B&M first. It's going to increase attendance for sure. -

^ & ^^ I understand it's very popular today and has been since the first book. I enjoyed all of the movies and I'm sure I'd enjoy the books if I weren't too lazy to read. But now that the series has ended I just don't see it maintaining its popularity fifty years from now. I could be wrong, and I probably am, but I'm just speaking my opinion.
