^Where does it say that? Online it looks like anyone can register. I was hoping one day in the future to go. It's expensive though!

There you go Rocky Mountain fans, there's your Lightning Rod car on display. Those seats look really comfy! But they should have really thought about lap bars...we might fall out!

1) Maverick 2) Millennium force 3) Raptor 4) TTD 5) Magnum XL 200 6) Gatekeeper 7) Gemini 8) Wicked Twister 9) Rougarou 10) Blue streak 11) Iron dragon 12) Corkscrew 13) CCMR 14) Mean Streak

Yo ho, yo ho, an Apostle's life for me.

Haha that looks awful, the lift is the fastest part of the whole ride.

I like how they think it's called Valravn Birdseye...

I read through them. I usually won't click on the links if I have read through that topic within the last few days, but if it is something I've missed I will. I enjoy getting the Monday (sometimes Tuesday ) Fun emails and hope you continue with it.

Right. Happens before the first launch. Got it. No wonder I've always missed it, I skip right to the drop of every on-ride video. I second that!! I completely forgot about Maverick having that kind of transfer track. TTD as well.

Ah, makes sense. Thank you all!

Just looked at the webcam and they just poured a huge footer for the lift! In the renderings it is covered up with sod, I wonder if they'll actually do that?

^Thanks for the update!

That sure is a pretty setting for a park! Wildfire is looking awesome, if only one day I'll be able to hit up Kolmarden.

You're right, just don't tell my brother that, he thinks that ride is the best in the park haha

1st guy: "Iron Dragon originally didn't have two lifts, the engineers f'd up and had to put in the 2nd lift so it could make it back to the station." 2nd guy: "Ah, that makes sense..." 1st guy: "ride sucks anyways..."

B&M - not counting the awful standups, I'd say Intimidator. It gives me such a bad headache. Guess I have always gotten a bad ride on it. GCI - haven't been on many but Apocalypse was rough. Intamin - Green Lantern, which I didn't really think was all that terrible, but I'm in no hurry to ever ride it again.

Heading to St Louis next Saturday, would like to hit HW on my way back on Sunday. How have the crowds been on Sundays for Halloween Weekends?

Wow, I had no idea they would be replacing track on this. Very interesting. I look forward to seeing all the work that they do on it.

Never been bungee jumping, not sure that I ever would. I would Sky Dive way before bungee jumping though. Sky coaster is a lot of fun in my opinion, except for the trip to the top (I can't stand drop towers for the same reason). But as someone said earlier, Slingshots are unimpressive. The launch is smooth, doesn't feel like you are going all that fast. Plus the rocking up and down at the very end is nauseating. Just my 2 cents.

What? I'm a huge B&M fan. It's just that a dive coaster feels redundant with Gatekeeper and Rougarou nearby. Sheikra and Griffon are far different experiences from a wing coaster like Gatekeeper. Rougarou is simply a floorless coaster that is also nothing like a dive coaster. I'm failing to see how a Dive Coaster is redundant. Edit: Sorry, I did find one similarity. Both of the riders' feet dangle. Might as well throw in Raptor too To add to the dangling feet...Corkscrew, Gemini, Iron Dragon, TTD, MF, Maverick, MS, BS, Magnum, Wilderness Run, Woodstock Express are all redundant as well! They need to remove them all except for one. How dare a park have more than one coaster that you sit down on and have a floor beneath you... But seriously, the dive machine looks awesome. I've never been on one and I'm really looking forward to riding this next year. I do agree that maybe a dark ride is much more of a need right now instead of a coaster, but who cares, they'll get one eventually.

Only if it has a tunnel or a splashdown. If it doesn't have one of those, it's garbage. ...That's so last week... What could this HUGE hole be for?! I see nothing in the animation that looks like it fits this spot. Looks like it could be for the train storage shed, since that is usually one of the first things that go up for B&M's, that's what makes sense to me at least. edit* Now that I look closer, it's almost right in line with the cobra roll on Raptor and that's not where the storage shed is. Maybe the first drop footers?

Wow, wonderful pictures! I enjoyed reading through this!

I still am in awe of how Intamin pulled off that top hat with such minimal supports. Such a pretty coaster (well with fresh paint it was).

This looks great! Excited to finally ride a Dive Machine! I think one of the best parts about this is the view you'll get at the top. Looking forward the ride!

I don't think a bad visit would make me swear off ever returning to a place, but it does give me doubts about coming back in the near future. For instance this year, when I went to Kentucky Kingdom and Kings Island, operations were awful and I just didn't have a good time. I live about an hour from Kentucky Kingdom and an hour and a half from Kings Island. I could easily do both any day I'd like to, but these bad experiences have caused me to not return...this year. I don't want to waste the gas driving and have the possibility of another bad day. I'll return to both parks, just not this year.

Sorry but this is all I think of when I hear anything UT... haha sorry, Go Cats.
