Please tell us more about what you can't tell us.

Those damned mushrooms were broken when we went a few years ago. It's pathetic, but I really wanted to see them in action.

Yeah, I didn't quite understand that either. Diamondback, Banshee, and Beast are all large scale standout attractions in my eyes. I think I can weigh in on that pretty heavily, since my home park is SFStl. Also, sorry. I don't think I replied to your TR, but I also enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

Oh God... another one of these.

This is my favorite post of the day. This is what it says on why he was banned when he logs back into the forum: "Banned for being an asshole. Let me make it clear... You are NOT being banned for "having an opinion", you are being banned for being an asshole." Is that your new favorite post of the day? And here I was thinking the giga coaster announcement was going to be the best part of the day!

This is my favorite post of the day.

No, I'm acting like this is the exact same ride I can go on in many different parks throughout the US or North America, or the World: hell, even pretty much in the exact same park, which is why there's no incentive to visit once this ride opens. You know it, I know it, Robb Alvey knows it, people who consistently ride coasters know it. Hell, even my family and friends know this B&M cookie cutter crap just does not cut it or warrants additional visits to the park. Orion is a Mako, Diamondback, Fury, Leviathon, Behemoth, blah blah blah all the same. Trim brakes on airtime hills, blah blah blah all the same. This is the same crap B&M has been doing for about 20 years now. Enough is enough. Parks dropping $20+ Million on coasters need to do better than this, because it's a joke, and I don't know why that is a problem for some of you "enthusiasts" to hope for instead of applauding the next turd they crap out. And I don't know why wanting parks to create better rides than this is frowned upon. Yeah I'm critical of ride additions at times, I think Kings Island could have created a much better ride experience than this for the money, and I think they should have instead of just bending over to the constituency! I don't see why there's anything wrong with having that opinion. Dude, you're so miserable and all you do is spark controversy and piss people off every time someone looks forward to a new B&M. I'm sure Robb would really appreciate you throwing using his name to continuously bitch about new attractions that are an absolute hit with your average park goer. There's a difference between expressing your disappointment and throwing a huge buzz killing temper tantrum while people are trying to get excited about this. If your life is lacking thrill that much deactivate your account and go join the fucking marines.

The return of Paddlewheel Excursions is the next best thing to a log flume. Huge win! Emily will be pleased.

Beer Man isn't at SDC.

They want to project it on a screen or the side of FoF, I believe. That, and those of us who are tall enough to ride this ride can probably stay up past 10. Night shift FTW.

And here we go again. Great.

That's true, but that was a pretty big project that a lot of people had been waiting for. I can already see the announcement. "Come get your last TWIST ( ) on Wicked Twister!" I'm 50% on this happening and I definitely won't fully commit to this long standing rumor. If it were to be replaced I think whatever CP has in store would be to open that area up and expose visitors to a beach view.

Yeah... I just read an article which claims that the water impact from a 6 meter jump is strong enough to compress your spine, break bones, or give you a concussion. That seems like a stretch, but I have seen that every article I'm browsing through after searching, "Average height for a high-dive" actually has had insurance advertisements. I could be wrong about this whole thing...

It's just like a high-dive.

Get Flash Pass Platinum or you're screwed. Even then you'll probably have to wait a while.

Hooray for keeping less people in the FL+ line! Although I'm sure this is somewhat to make more guests contemplate getting a FL+ season pass since the cost of one admission is coming (barely) closer to the price of an all season FL+.

Pieces of a crane have arrived on scene, so hopefully we'll see some track pieces sometime soon.

That's... spooky... stuff. Thanks for the information. The ironic part of the park map is the lady with the caption, "We care about you," just to the right of the Haunted Castle.

I second calling your credit card company. Give them a head's up so they don't shut your card off thinking its been compromised.

Wooden coasters are a constant work in progress. Bad wood and parts of the track get replaced on a regular basis. The wood you saw is nothing out of the norm. A lot of work is done every off season. Re-branding this classic coaster won't do anything but take away some of its nostalgia. One of the reasons behind the name change of Revolution is that they added VR to it.

It must have been really fun watching your kid ride all of the big rides. As in an earlier TR, I feel the same way about SF. But, like you said, they really do shine during HITP. It's one of the things SF does really well.

I just found out about the Haunted Mansion incident... Wow. Is there anything on the land occupied by where the Haunted Mansion was, today? If it's where I think it was, I seem to remember just a patch of trees.

Glad you had a good time. It seems like you got quite a bit done without having a fastlane.

I couldn't agree more. I don't waste my time with crap that I already know I won't enjoy, anymore. For the most part, my credit chasing days are over.

I wonder if that has a lot to do with the park treating their employees well. People love Knoebels because the employees treat the guests well. The employees enjoy their jobs, and in turn the guests, because Knoebels treats them well? Seems likely to me. I'm glad you had a good visit. Thanks for sharing.
