HANKER MINE CONSTRUCTION HAS BEGUN Daniel Harris reporting. Construction has begun on the old Hanker Mine. Amusements and Adventures, Inc. decided earlier this week to buy Hanker Mine and convert it into a small amusement park, or amusement area. That is just what they are doing, but they are retaining some elements of the mine, such as the boss' house and the factory, which are both going to be refurbished and turned into the actual building where the boss lives and a new dark ride. As of right now, their has been lots of work on the park so far. The graveyard got some new trees because the agreement states that they cannot move the graves, but they can do whatever they want with the trees. One of the old mine shafts was removed and all of the scaffolding for the new mine shaft was removed. The oil pumps have also been moved inside the newly built Hanker Museum. In this museum are many things that were a part of the mine, such as the oil pumps, cart tracks, diamonds, and much more. The parking lot and entrance were also removed and a service road was added in the location of the entrance for taking out and taking in things. Here is a huge picture update showing all of the work at Hanker Mine so far. 2-Graveyard.BMP The graveyard has some very nice new trees. 2-Factory.BMP The factory got some new dead trees, so it will be remaining as it is designwise, but will get some minor repairs. 2-No Scaffolding.BMP The scaffolding that used to be here was taken apart and is now waiting to be shipped off. 2-Shaft Removed.BMP The mine shaft that was here was removed and is also waiting to be shipped out. 2-New Service Road.BMP Here is the new service road. As you can see, many assorted things that were in the mine, like roofing, the old shaft, tracks, and scaffolding. 2-Hanker Museum.BMP And last but not least, here is the Hanker Museum. At this point, the only things in the museum are some old tracks, diamonds, and the remaining 4 oil pumps. 2-Overview.BMP Here is an overview of the entire area. Stay tuned for more updates!

Yes. Have you ever seen a movie where Mr. T ran away in fear?

Vekoma replacing all of CP's coasters with Boomerangs (Btw, I like Gemini, Disaster Transport, and Cedar Creek Mine Ride) What's worse than a GCI being replaced for a Dinn? -

Awesome Photo TR. I really like those X-Flight photos, especially the one where it is going through the control tower. -

Using clones of Fran Drescher to test coasters. What's worse than riding a flying coaster that should have theming but doesn't? (Superman Ultimate Flight, cough cough) -

I like that mask. Even though the Hershey Bears are a part of the Caps organization, I still like them. -
Yeah, I used to like Carl, but now, I laugh when I see that wreck. Classic. I am also a fan of Keselowski, who DID win Talladega and guess who wrecked again, Carl!

A TOGO remaining a favorite among park guests? You must not be going for realism here (Just kidding). The coaster looks really nice. Keep up the good work. -

I can't wait to see how this turns out. Looks like it will be an interesting project. -
WELCOME TO HANKER MINE Hello. Daniel Harris reporting. I just received word that a small amusement park company known as Amusements and Adventures, Inc. has purchased the old Hanker Mine. Hanker Mine used to be a prominent place for mining and oil drilling. Hanker Mine was a diamond mine and lots of people became rich from it. However, this mine was very dangerous to work at. Explosions and cave-ins happened all of the time. More than 20 people died in one year. As a result, the city shut down Hanker Mine. Hanker Mine has now been sitting dormant for the past 30 years. Lots of people have been wondering when it would be torn down, but now it is going to be modified. The announced park is supposed to feature a wooden coaster which will use the large mountains, two dark rides-one traveling through the factory and one traveling through some of the old mine shafts, and a possible custom B&M invert that goes with the terrain, similar to Nemesis at Alton Towers. That is all that's confirmed, but I would expect more. This is what the old mine looks like right now, right before it all gets fixed up. 1-Entrance & Warehouse.BMP Here is the entrance to the mine and the storage warehouse. 1-Cart Tracks & Living Facilities.BMP Here are the main tracks that the mine carts travel on. As you can see, tons of the tracks are broken. The tracks on the left of the photo were being rebuilt as they were going to reopen the oil drilling after they closed it ten years before the whole mine closed. In the corner, you can see the living facilities for the workers. 1-Oil Pumps.BMP There are the old oil pumps. When the mine first opened, there were 9. After 40 years of closure, there are only 4 oil pumps still standing. 1-Graveyard.BMP Here is the graveyard where all of the people from that one fateful year are buried. Amusements and Adventures, Inc. has been told they MUST leave the graveyard untouched or they will face a hefty fine that would possibly put them bankrupt. 1-Boss' House and Scaffolding.BMP Here is the house that the bosses, the Hanker family, lived in. Below, you can see tons of scaffolding. Under construction was a brand new mine shaft. The shaft was under construction when the mine closed. 1-Old Factory.BMP Here is the old factory. Here is where the Hankers made rings from using gold found in the mountain and the diamonds. Also, the factory powered the whole mine. They used the oil from the pumps. 1-Overview.BMP Here is the overview of the whole entire mine. I wonder how Amusements and Adventures, Inc. will be able to turn this into a small amusement park. Stay tuned for more updates!

Louis CK all the way! He is definitely my favorite comedian. My second is definitely Daniel Tosh. I am also a fan of Dane Cook, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Ray Romano, Patton Oswalt and Tim Allen.

SFDK replacing Pandemonium for another Vekoma Boomerang. What's worse than someone throwing up on the back of your head while riding a kiddie coaster? -
Even though I am not a Yankees (In fact, I am a HUGE Boston fan), it is a bittersweet moment to see Mariano Rivera injured. I mean, he is one of the primary reasons the Yankees are winning games and that helps Boston, but also, it is sad to see a great like Mariano Rivera injured. He is the greatest closer of all time, love him or hate him, you gotta respect the guy.
