Really? Where'd you see that?

So were we wrong to doubt the original poster? Thanks for the update, Kathy, if that is who you are. I'm glad to see that S&S is sticking around. I appreciate the rides and the new ideas that come forward every few years. Maybe someday I'll get to ride a Double Shot. I still haven't!

The last I saw was that only one person has stepped forward saying he'd put a figure on the table. I haven't heard that anyone is "fighting" over it.

Haha. There is no backstory, other than I got up late. I graduated from college in December, and my internship didn't start until June, so I had five months to kick back. In those five months, I decided to stop shaving. And I'm shirtless. Hurr!

This is what I looked like before I shaved off my homeless beard. I'm also in my avatar. That was five months before the beard. I NEED A HOME!

"Light My Fire" by The Doors. Awesome.

All right, kids! We've got a week left in August. What do we want to use for September's theme? Elissa-Friendly Food Month Donkey Month Robb Month "Ghetto" Park Month Terrible Defunct Coasters Month Credit Whore Month

Haha. Whatever, dude.

Seconded. So many people are claiming what this is and what it isn't when they don't know. We can wait for an announcement, a full circuit or trains. And now it's confirmed the ride has at least one inversion. Very cool. I'm glad the park is throwing something with an inversion(s) in the back of the park. This may be the "whole new direction" the sign talks about.

I had no idea Cedar Fair would be getting another wooden coaster. The company seems so stuck on steel coasters, this rumor is really surprising.

Did you take these pictures with a camera phone? Also, resize that Hot Summer Lights photo. It totally throws off the tables and makes your thread hard to read. Edit: Hurr. The cloud says "LOL."

Cool TR. I've only been to Kennywood once, but I loved it. What's with the "next year" references to Jack Rabbit?

Lasers, surveying, great engineering and computers. That's how they line it all up exactly. It's pretty cool that they're bolting a piece of track in right now. How exciting.

Wow. I had no idea it would go that high. I didn't know they were building those supports until I saw the webcam today. It's either going to fly through those low turns so it can clear that hill, or that hill is toward the beginning of the ride.

This is actually a pretty good technique. Haha. It sounds ridiculous, but it releases endorphins and calms your nerves. I've had insomnia for about three years now. Some nights it's really bad. I've actually gone about 56 hours without sleep once or twice, and I've hallucinated because of it. I honestly don't have any techniques other than suggesting you try masturbating. My insomnia is so bad that I'm about to see if I can turn to drugs. Maybe a prescription, but I'll try over-the-counter stuff first. Try not to stress out about things too. I've learned that school (which I'm finally done with) would keep me up at night. Lately it's a job search and my future, but I've only had two sleepless nights this month so far. Then again, you may just have thrown off your sleep cycle. Try staying up all night and all the next day. You'll be so tired by the next night, you should fall asleep and correct the cycle. Tell us what you try and how it went. I want to see if something else can work for me.

Who are you, and what are you talking about? Because of this benzo character, I read the terms of service again. I discovered this fun line: "12. Images in signatures. No image bigger than 50 pixels high by 400 pixels wide." Uh, I guess some of us have to change the proportions of our signatures. I resized mine so it's within the rules.

Kangaroo is a nice classic with some fun airtime, and Aero 260 is cool if you've never ridden a Zamperla Hawk before. Also, ride Phantom's Revenge in the back seat. Nuff said.

Elissa-friendly food month could be good. Same with "Ghetto" park month. That could be funny. Anyon else want to help with ideas for September's theme? Maybe "terrible defunct coasters month" or "credit whore month," where we picture a kiddy coaster, a powered coaster or an alpine slide.

Sometimes I love coaster enthusiasts who judge rides before they've even got one support up. Awesome, dude!

It's got the same color scheme as Top Thrill Dragster, so what if it's an extension of Dragster? They'll modify the drop on TTD so it turns toward this ride. Eh, I'm just making stuff up. But seriously, who makes a new ride with the same freaking color combo as a ride already in the park?

How long was it closed?

Apparently it did happen, it just wasn't on a freefall tower. Edit: Misread Snopes.

I decided to try to come up with a signature army. It's where a bunch of us make small banners to put in our signatures. We come up with a theme for the month, preferably a stupid theme. If you do join the army, we can all make different sigs to the same theme. So check out my signature now. I decided to make a stupid idea and throw it in my sig. Flip a nonlooping coaster? Come on. That's pretty ridicuous. So help come up with a theme for next month. It should be themed to coasters, parks or TPR. Anyone up for this?

Good trip report. Your pictures make me miss Cedar Point and Lake Erie.

I don't recall any confirmation of an announcement date. Have Tony and Tyler even hinted at one?
