if it was a choice between a shortened an Iron Horse layout or just the Topper, i would take the Topper... provided they could but a Barrel roll or two where the Bunny hills are. It is a good layout as is (besides the much too soon MCBR).

Iron Horse for the Boss and replace Ninja with a Modern Looper, then SFSTL would be up to par with other parks.

I am still thinking something like Verbolten is in the works with a Splashdown finale

Guess SF paid him 2 dollars during that time

I just have one question regarding the quote above, does Tony Hawk acutely owns the rights to the name "Big Spin"? Yes, now you owe him 2 dollars

Have you all seen SF Mexico's RMC Medusa POV?? The ride looks outta control and awesome fun. If the Boss could ever turn into that, then Yes! I would come back and visit our park again.

I am fairly certain Atlanta's Hyper, when originally slated for us, was to go over the Parking Lot Booths and into the grassy park area between the Entrance Lanes and the Parking Lot itself. That would have been very very cool.

I like the Boss' layout, only gripe is the Mid-course Brakes happen too soon. The ride on the other hand has always been a letdown, even from when it first opened. The 1st and 3rd drops are fun, the rest of the ride is a painful train wreck.

Yeah, it seems apparent they just installed it without much consideration to the existing theming of that area.

With the news SFMM getting the next Iron Horse treatment (Colossus), I would not get your hopes up about the Boss getting IR anytime soon. They will continue to throw money at this park to keep a pulse but I can't see SF Corp ever going out of its way to give us any special treatment. If we get lucky maybe we will get a Used B&M down the road.

So what happened to Gwazi, how/why did it become such a train wreck? Is it just Florida's hot and humid weather conditions??

Hah! I don't want to hear anything about blues... seeing as your Blackhawks turned MY Blues into the biggest disappointing finish in the NHL this season. You guys had a good run, but being a rival, I'm glad it's over! Our Blues lost and all we got was a lousy Tsunami Soaker...

My guess is this attraction will be a combo of both coaster and water elements. With the 'journey across the ocean' theme you cannot argue there will not be a boat on the water somewhere during the course of this ride.

I think you all have high expectations with all this B&M talk. I have no doubt that this expansion will be great, but expecting a 20 plus million dollar B&M is a pipe dream.

Holiday World to me is about traditional rides. A Wing Coaster would not fit the park at all, just outta the question. I don't consider Gobbler Getaway a dark ride, to me it is just a glorified shooting gallery. A classic haunted dark ride would be an awesome addition to the park

That would be really nice if they answered the line or returned messages. I have left two now with no response. They are busy finding all the nails which are flying loose from The Boss

I love the 66 days sight and I am sure whatever is brewing for Thanksgiving will be great! One thing is still lacking in the park though ... Halloween really needs a Haunted House attraction of some kind. We went to the park a few weekends ago and had a great time.

It looks awesome but just really really strange

That's ashame. I think with a bit more thought and care it could fit within the 'theming' of the surrounding area. Lately it seems like they just are throwing rides at the park without much thought or creativity. It is a very good thing they finally removed the old barrel ride.

Just getting the topper track would improve the ride 100%.

Yeah, I agree. You learn the ride and know what to expect, so those stomach drop feelings eventually subside.

To me The Beast is an awesome journey with a Beginning, Middle and a End ...and an intermission (2nd lift) thrown in too. An epic ride. Great Coaster!

We chose to spend a long weekend at a park (typically KI) rather than a whole season at SFSTL. And you are correct, that weekend can get expensive but we think it is worth it over SF passes.

Because those Season Pass holders might end up like me... cancelling the pass and using that cash to take the family on Road Trips to KI, Holiday World, or WOF. My family got bored with the park and that is the honest truth.

Yes, I know that... note I used the word 'Imagine' not 'When'
