^^ it also shares the color scheme with this one.

Feels so good to see a TOGO leaving the world excluding those Ultra Twisters and the outstanding ones in Japan.

They never said they didn't.

It looks HUGE! Hope videos would come up soon so we can see how fast it goes and guess how faster it can go with the regular wheels.

^ I remember the ride op said the dispatch time was increased due to the accident. Outlaw Run's crew is very efficient so the seat belt shouldn't influence too much as long as SDC don't ask them to increase the dispatch time.

Maybe CF would keep going with Chance Morgan? A nice hyper lite bigger than Lightning Run would be a nice addition.

^ If it's from RMC, then Voyage 2: The New World; If it's from Gravity Group, then Underworld Voyage

^ The tightened lap bar did not stop any member of our group last summer. Should be fine with or without seat belts. No worries!

I think SFFT's management was excellent during my visit last summer. Every coaster were running multiple trains except for Boomerang and Kiddie Koaster. But maybe it was due to the closure of iRat.

Don't care about the record that much as long as it's scary high. I think TSS is mainly popular for the height instead of the record. GP think the height is scary so they go ride it.

Hades360 renamed to Taylor Swift and One Direction: The Ride with Gerstlauer train. What's worse than that?

Texas Giant

Think I have to try namtaB someday.

That's very 70's or 80's just like Revolution. On the other hand, thanks to a great information, found a secret place to have fun

^ considering MF is insanely popular, adding it to FLP is another way to promote FLP which means a lot more money. That's what I think but I don't know too much about marketing.

Talking about noise, I'm sure S:EFK is far worse than Kingda Ka. But protection is definitely needed for Intamin cables

Please don't say that, it partly means that Mega-Lites will not show up in US soon jk Maybe the new drop tower will be like Falcon's Fury with straight seat arrangement?

^ Anyone has a photo of the new seat belts? Did Outlaw Run get the new shin bars?

How about Raptor and MF? I think CP can sell the regular FL cheaper and use a $30 up charge for Maverick, TTD, MF and Raptor.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/sapna/seaworld-attendance-down-but-ceo-says-blackfish-had-nothing Four investor presentations later, one Wall Street analyst was finally brave enough to ask SeaWorld Entertainment execs about what impact the documentary Blackfish has had on its business. Their answer: none. In fact, the controversial film might have even helped attendance by raising awareness of marine mammal parks, Chief Executive Officer Jim Atchison told analysts on a conference call Thursday, a sentiment he also shared with the Wall Street Journal in November. "As much as we're asked that, we can see no noticeable impact on our business," he said, calling assertions the company mistreats animals "a fundamental mischaracterization." "The movie in some ways has actually made perhaps more interest in marine mammal parks and actually even about us, so we've seen that reflected through certain visitor profiles and certain guest comments and things we get." It's difficult to believe that watching Blackfish would make a person want to go to SeaWorld. The damning documentary focuses on the parks' treatment of animals after one of its whales killed a veteran trainer in 2010, and has spurred an outcry from animal activists and regular viewers. It's even caused entertainers such as Heart and Willie Nelson to cancel concerts at the parks. But SeaWorld says its reputation remains intact. "With respect to national surveys and data that we collect around our reputation efforts and image, there's awareness of the movie that kind of peaks and drops as CNN — whose one of the owners of the movie, by the way — as CNN shows it repeatedly from time to time, so that does spike on occasion, but our surveys don't reflect any shift in sentiment about intent to visit our parks," he said. "The movie did not get an Oscar nomination in January and we continue to take proactive efforts communicating with our guests and partners." Still, it's hard to gauge what impact, if any, Blackfish had on visitors. While SeaWorld reported record fourth quarter attendance, it still fell 1.4%, and for the year, the number of guests fell 4.1% to 23.4 million. The company, which went public in April, reported that 2013 revenue rose 3% to $1.46 billion. SeaWorld blamed the decrease in visitors on bad weather, an early Easter and "planned pricing and yield management strategies." "We're very proud of the work we do and how we do that," Atchison said today. "The animal activist community, they don't necessarily burden themselves with facts, and we have to deal with that from time to time." While Blackfish premiered in January of 2013, it blew up in the latter half of last year after CNN aired the film. Just last week, a California lawmaker proposed legislation that would ban the use of orcas for entertainment.

This is a shocking news! Hard to believe a family that built Holiday World would have a drama like this. But on the other hand, AA got some love!

^^ I think Intamin's two floor drop tower could work at CP very well. The capacity can reach up to 1,700 as far as I remember. Plus, something like Falcon's Fury could work very well. Has the train type been announced yet? I bet Intamin might come up with a brand new train style on it.
