Not sure but I believe that the Carousel is a PTC.

No way would I ever part with that shirt... I had a hard enough time actually finding it for myself.

^ Gold Rusher never could cause the pain that Windjammer did... When I visit Knotts about two years ago sporting my Windjammer T-Shirt, I got some very strange looks from employees.

Not sure exactly who, but back in the day (i.e when I actually had the time to go to parks) I know I meet a couple people who post on this site. Eric you're the only one on here I'm sure I've at some point meet in person. I can't remember the event for the life of me, but I know it happened at some point. Any idea what event it was?

I only got to work Hallelujah Jubilee once (I was a sound mixer if you're curious), however that was more then enough. I don't remember exactly how long it was, but I recall ending up working something like a 13-14 hour shift. The ONLY thing that I ever found to be more time consuming (and in genernal stressful) were weekends were multipal cheer events were planned.

Well I'll admit it for the first time in several years I'm really curious to hear the stats on this ride! I'm very glad to see that Magic Mountain learned their lesson, and decided not to send out the season pass renewals with the information on it, like they did with X and Deja Vu. While it was fun getting the info early (and more fun being the one to post it early) it did kind of take away from the surprise factor.

For those of you who have never really followed construction before, the footer stage is not that bad... It's the fact that after they pour the footers, there is going to be a period of time where it appears absolutely nothing happens, as they allow the concrete to cure.

Ah yeah, that would actually be a decent place to run the show from... Personally I always thought it was kind of a lame show, but I also watched it 6 times a day for a full month. Also... Eric I believe I did meet you at the media event for X... However I want to say that I had actually run into you at an eariler event as well. Did you go to Deja Vu's media day? And finally, yeah my site did have the SFMM Guide. Actually I had taken several months reworking that site on Dreamweaver, and was just about finshed with it when I actually made the decision to stop the website. It looked pretty cool, however it is now confined to a CD that is somewhere back at my parents house. Also though I'm sure it's covered somewhere in the 95 pages behind me, what's going on with Skytower? I know eariler in the project they had dug up the area around it. I assume since in the last 10 or so pages I did not notice any talk about it, that the park has decided to allow the tower to live? Not sure why they'd really bother with taking it out, its got such a small footprint that removing it is not really going to gain them anything.

So this is my first time posting here which is surprising since I've been coming to this site for many years now... But I've built up a few comments and decided that it was time I share... First off, as far as the media day goes, you could be invited at 13. I believe my first media invite was when I was 15, it was the announcement for X. From that point on I got invited to basically every event the park has put on... Now granted since my website is very much dead (rollercoasterz.com was my project if any of you remember it) so I don't think I'm still on the parks invite list. Now onto the ride itself. I think the biggest reason I've started following it is simply because I would have never of picked the top of Samurai Summit for another coaster. I'm still a bit shocked at just how much room they have up there, as well as the raw size of the rides footprint. Considering that they just started pouring footers, my guess is this coaster is going to aim for a Spring Break opening. Just off of memory from watching other rides go up, land work takes the greatest amount of time. Also tends to be the most boring to watch. Now I do have a quick question for you guys, where did they do the Road kill kitchen show this year for Fright Fest. When I ran that show a few years back we were based out of the old Eagles Flight station. With all the construction I doubt that show would work up there at this point, but I also know how messy that show actually is. I remember watching (I was a sound mixer so I basically sat around making sure the sound system did not decide to walk away between shows) them clean the mess up following shows, and know they needed a place to go and clean up. Anyways just my 2 (long post, so I guess more like 3) cents. Hope everybody here is doing well!
