On a somewhat related note, is The Chiller station still abandoned? And do they use it for haunted houses or anything?

So the rides included in there are sitting idle as well? What for?

Yeah, I don't really complain about parks but that's an awful decision to leave them like that. They could at least make a gravel path or something between the two areas. Does somebody have pictures or could outline/diagram this in Google Maps or something? Because I have never visited the park and have always heard this complaint pop up every now and then, but when I look at Google Maps, I'm not getting a clear image of what everyone is complaining about.

Yes, Montu has a trim going into the batwing.

Ditto. I'm leaving home park bias behind (though finding a wood trio that's better is certainly a challenge from what I understand). BGT is home to 3 powerhouse B&M's. CP's Intamin trio is a close second.

Kumba on Thursday. Rode as well 10 years ago as it did this week.

Ended up getting on every ride I listed without express passes plus Disaster ! Crowds were wonderful last Thursday!

You sir, do not deserve the intensity and power that is mighty king of the south. Anyways, opinions are like butts. Everyone has one, and yours stinks. (I'm kidding)

Man the size difference between Montu and Banshee's batwings (pretzel knots, whatever you want to call em) is huge.

From my trip to Busch Gardens: "Hi Skyride!" TWISTY! Artsy Fartsy

^ It's not even free. It'll cost 2.99 upfront. Also, this article I read is very questionable as it claims that Atari stated Chris Sawyer is involved contrary to telling Robb that he is not.

I could probably nix Despicable Me, Simpsons, and Men in Black if necessary. We are all college kids so it would not be much of a loss if we skipped them.

Alright, I'm visiting Universal Orlando tomorrow in a small group of friends. We are doing both parks in one day and are wondering if Express Passes are going to be necessary. If they are, we will buy them for only one of the parks, so my questions basically are: Which park would you suggest we hit first? Will we need Express Passes? Which park would you suggest the EP's for? For some background, the following attractions in the Studios side are "necessary" to hit: Rockit, Transformers, Simpsons, Despicable Me, MIB, and Mummy. For IOA: Forbidden Journey, Dragons, A few potter shops, Spider-Man, Hulk, Ripsaw, and Jurassic Park. Thanks in advance!

Very concerned about the PC version if Atari thinks that slapping the RCT name on a crappy mobile game is totally okay. I sure hope it is better than RCT3. Also, the fact that they are just now announcing a game due for the fall of this year irks me.

Any particular reason why are there tan spots going up the side of the tower?

Alright I have a follow up question. Is there a way to scan a $50 weekday ticket from a smartphone (iPhone if it matters) instead of printing out on paper? I won't have access to a printer and need an alternative to paying the extra 30 bucks for the regular ticket.

This is bitter sweet for me seeing them leave. I loved Pat when she was still at Holiday World and now .she is packing up and leaving behind the park her husband built up, which is very depressing once you think about it. However, on the bright side, the fact that they are putting in the values they had at Holiday World down into Alabama Adventure, it makes me happy they are reviving this park once again. Very mixed feelings here. Also, this may make many people feel that Lori is the "bad guy" in the case when she did kick aside the bloodline family. I do still wish her the best and hope she knows what she is doing...

Why is there a warning for using magnetic braking?

How strict is Busch Garden's rain policy? I'm planning on visiting next Thursday and the forecast is calling for scattered showers with a 60% chance of precipitation. I understand it's not as strict and uptight as Cedar Point's, but I was still curious.

Ah, thanks for the info! The details in the press release were a little vague on its location.

Very nice. Although I was hoping the resteraunt was going near Kima Bay or Hyena Falls because those two spots could use some food nearby, the Wildebeest location is great as well.

^ Well it has been ten years since their last hyper coaster.

^^ You should post these pictures in the Holiday World thread. I'm sure their PR would get a kick out of your tribute!

^ Correct

Nope and Nope. Hint: Believe it or not, it is not GCI
