Okay this is completely insane. I'm really looking forward to checking it out once it opens.

Midwest Info Guide has some pics of the construction area. It's mostly footers and dirt, with a few pics of slide pieces laying around. http://midwestinfoguide.com/schlitterbahn/v/05.24/index.html

Really enjoyed the show. I was especially surprised by the rendering of that extreme Schlitterbahn slide.

Also my first Bag of Crap. Thanks so much!

I'm pretty sure they're almost done putting up the last of the slide pieces. Looking forward to it this summer.

I just want to know how anyone at Vekoma actually thought that the butterfly loop was a good idea. It just looks so wrong...

I didn't even know you could shake a terminator at something. Wodan looks really good, and Europa Park is definitely on my Bucket list of places to visit in the future.

I've always found the RoS layout a bit strange with its huge drawn-out helices and that big straight part after the first helix. Still looks like it packs a good amount of airtime though.

Looks like a great ride. What was the Shenzen ride like in terms of forcefulness?

Well it's official. KidTums is way more brave than I am. At her age I wouldn't even ride a normal rollercoaster. Way to go!

Wow. And that was testing at minimum speed?

About how rough was the Boomerang compared to the typical ones in America?

You mean assembly plant, it's just north of there. It's where my truck rolled off the line. Ah yes, my bad. There is a dealership right by there, though.

^ I believe those are the Ford trucks from the nearby dealership that get stored there in the off season.

Medusa looks like a decent ride. Too bad it has those Gerstlauer trains though...

According to WoF's website it seems the new slides (Shark's Revenge, Constrictor, Predator's Plunge) will be included with Fast Lane. Not a bad idea considering they're combining both parks, maybe they'll add Fast Lane for more slides in the future. http://www.worldsoffun.com/things-to-do/fast-lane

Theme parks. Don't get me wrong, I go for the rides. But a well themed park can make the experience so much better. Long lines become much more tolerable when you have theming to look at to help pass the time. Food also tends to be better at theme parks than amusement parks.

Tough decision, but I'm going with Outlaw Run because I'm able to get out to SDC this year to ride it.

I've seriously been amazed by all of the photos and videos of Outlaw Run these last few days. The ride looks truly amazing and I cannot wait to ride it. Thanks for the great coverage!

Thunderation at Silver Dollar City.

I've been following this Trip Report since day one, and I've enjoyed every update. Great work and great photos.

My vote goes to the camelback hill on Maverick or any of Magnum's return run hills

It looks like they've been making some pretty good progress so far with offseason work. Hopefully the slide tower construction will start soon.

It just keeps getting better and better. I'm definitely going to buy this once it's released.
