Where I find air-time on Medusa: -First Drop (only in the back-end) -Top of Loop (every seat) -Zero-G Roll (every seat) Basically that's all I get, and it's all floater air-time. I consider Roar more of an air-time machine than Medusa. By the way was that TV show called "Extreme Roller Coasters" or something like that where they look at all the coasters ONLY in California. Wouldn't the loop and zero g roll be more of hang-time then air-time? The zero-G roll is hard to describe, though the loop has definite air-time, I lift out of my seat.

This makes me laugh: Quotes from video: "I'll ride every ride 15 times." My comment: Ya right "I was born on a roller coaster" My comment: About the video below, isn't every other ride found at Knotts? -

These commercials are also driving me nuts. I wonder why GhostRider segments are in multiple commercials for different parks. -

Cause Park Maps have a reputation of being super accurate... Well, if they had some good theming it would show up on the Park Map. -

I don't think they are favoring SC. Though it's a bit too much of a coincidance that most of the new rides are in the SC side, though it might be just because of space and/or cheaper taxes in SC. -

Log Jammer will be replaced by a water ride, I'm almost certain about it. They would not take out a quality water ride which basically is the only good family ride & replace it with a huge roller coaster. I could see the 2013/14 coaster being in the Deja Vu location as that whole area has a lot of space.

Well, first of all I did put Grizzly as #2 as Roar really beat the you know what out of the Grizzly. Though, this summer I'm going to ride the So Cal woodies and see how they compare. -

Wouldn't it be on the 3rd train, I think people would have more priority over the 2nd train than the 3rd. -

Though, the pool is made of concrete, right. So, the pools will have as much damage as people walking on sidewalks, don't see much damage on the sidewalks. -

Some of the most brilliant engineers spend days and nights to ensure safety of the coasters they design. Apparently, a 16 year old on a trampoline is FAR less likely to become injured than in the hands of a double-checked locking mechanism. From what the department of education is saying, I am safer doing flips on a trampoline than riding a coaster. What's worse than a GP claiming to be an expert enthusiast? A GP claiming to be an expert enthusiast that happens to be a teacher or politician! Welcome to the 21st century! -

I bet they could if they really wanted to. They could put down AstroTurf for people to walk on so that they don't ruin or mark up the bottom of the lazy river. Even if they didn't use the pools or lazy river there is a lot of room back in there for a maze or scare zone. Exactly, you can use the pools and the lazy river for mazes, though this is more of a last resort, as they don't have any more room for mazes. -

Yeah, Grizzly is simply boring. Bandit and Anaconda are downright malevolent. I really don't understand, I always have a fun time on the Grizzly and never consider it boring. -

For the Haunt crowding, maybe they can open up Boomerang Bay and put Haunt attractions in there. -

All the SkyScreamers have the capacity at 32 riders, since their 16 rows and two people ride each one so that is 32 passengers! Here is proof: (Found on TPR's Park Index) -

That's where I would turn it around or write it up sarcastically..."Roller coasters should not be ridden by young kids between the ages of 8 and 16. Instead, they should ride things that they are more likely to have an accident with..." Let them drive cars! It's much safer than coasters. (Sorry this is just a really weird post)
