MaXair at Ceder Point would be my favorite. The combined high swing with the spinning....my word.

It sounds like they're only going to stick with Windseeker as their main marketing tool. Makes sense considering that they never could get it open in time for Summer last year.

On the USH FB when Hary Potter was announced: "Omg...why...bring back Indiana Jones."

^Are you including Hippogriff? If so, then it could be even smaller if they axe the two coasters and draw the castle closet towards Hogwarts. The article posted earlier didn't say anything about WaterWorld. It'll probably go where Jim Disney said it would.

They're really really really really really late with this one. https://www.facebook.com/savethemetro

Tuesday morning. Keep your eyes open. That's all I'm going to say.

^ "MM lacks intermediate coasters, like Freefall." He just called Freefall a coaster? Also, I think SFMM will be getting something that will be less painful and better. We have Intamin to thank for that.

Universal is wasting all of that space that will be used for Potter that could be something really good: Donkey Studios. Ride the donkey trail through where all donkey movies are filmed. Afterwards, you can ride the Donkey Kong ride.

Just some wishful thinking here, but imagine how much space Wizardng World would have if they moved the tram area to the hill by Frankenstein and replaced the Gibson. Just a thought.

That was patented long ago, actually. I don't remember when it was, but it wasn't recent. They're going incorporate FJ. The general public will be expecting that once the new land is announced. They could use that as a second ride, but tat would be jumping the gun to do two big themed rides at once. I would expect them to have some sort of alternate version of Dragon Challenge.

Well, there's always the hill by the parking garage and the abandoned Chinese restaurant.

I believe it also hosts the Christmas Grinch greeting and snow play area. ...and also special private events.

I'm 19 and the first coaster experience I remember was the Gadget's go-Coaster at Disneyland.

My Spidey senses are telling me no. I could see a Terminator reboot instead since Universal has bought the rights to Terminator.

My word...this just tops everything that the GP has ever said. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax4ZhTz2whw&feature=related

The thing is, Terminator is built on top of a parking structure. It can only hold so much weight before...well, you can use your imagination. The structure takes enough ware from the seat drop every half hour or so already. Just imagine if a multi-million dollar themed ride were built on top of it. With that said, I see it going in the Gibson and WaterWorld--especially since I've heard that this will be an expansion.

I just hope that they instal wind effects on the screen portions for our version. It felt a bit unconvincing to me without the wind. You know, there were some plans to move the Gibson and expand the park to where the Gibson is. Maybe that's where they're putting it?

**Waiting for FunAndOnly to do a troll video on the "wizzing worl of hairy potter**

You know, they could always save some money by scrapping the Hogwarts Castle facade and put in its place a big mural on a large soundstage of Harry on his broomstick. They can use that money to fix the rest of the park. Seriously though, I do agree with what you said. The park feels neglected enough as is. A lot of the effects on Jurassic Park have become jaded and so has Earthquake. The whole park needs to be repaired and It won't quite help with Potter. At least the park should get some more rides (Which the park REALLY needs). It would be cool to see a unique ride from Orlando go in there.

(EDIT TO CLARIFY) Are you talking about in terms of maintenance or crowds? Hulk just got its queue refreshed and Spiderman is getting an upgrade. Doesn't sound like IoA is being neglected to me; that is, if I understand you correctly.

Glad to see USH finally gaining more rides. I do think that this will go where the Gibson and WaterWorld are. Hopefully this won't effect HHN in any way.

Going back to the replacement for Log Jammer, I have a theory here. Let me say first that I highly, HIGHLY doubt an Aquatrax will be replacing LJ. Like someone mentioned, water rides are expensive to maintain. With that said, here's what I think will go there. Either a lunched coaster like Cheetah or the long-awaited giga or B&M monster. I know the latter sounds a bit ludicrous, but hear me out... To utilize the space, whether it will be a launched or a monster, I think they will utilize not just the immediate location and terrain but also use the flattened Flashback space. If it is a giga, they could probably fit the lift by making both that and the drop a LOT steeper than Goliath and have a giant "twisty hill" (Like the kind you see on Megalites or what we'll see on Manta), have an overbanked turn, go back to the area, and have the rest of the coaster go over the terrain. This is what I think will be more likely. If they used a launched coaster, they will probably have the launch over where the lake is, camelback or barrel roll over the guests, use the Flashback area, and use the LJ terrain. Magic Mountain is lacking a "traditional" launch coaster (Launching forward without traveling backward on the same track), yet it's also lacking a monster coaster with a really steep drop. Whether it's a launch or a giga or B&M, I think it has serious potential of filling that "airtime void" that the West coast so desperately needs.

Funny you asked that since you're from Knott's Berry Farm.

What I find weird is at the end of the video it says that the ride will open on March 12 2011..which was quite a while ago.
