That looked dreadful. Like someone else, the closest woodie I can compare to this is Ghostrider. -

^At least you were talking about SeaWorld. -

Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Discussion Thread
arby replied to BarryH's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Disney still sells these tickets. However you cannot buy them through their website any longer.(over the phone and in person i believe) Thanks! That's good to know. I didn't know because I do everything I can over the Internet (even ordering pizza). -
Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Discussion Thread

Disney no longer sells tickets with the 'no expiration' option. I think that went away a year or two ago. You can still buy them from some authorized Disney ticket sellers like the one I've used in the past, though, just not directly through Disney. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
arby replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Awesome! Ironically that is one of the things I thought of when I saw this in the 2013 results press release: From my knowledge of the food service industry, you can usually significantly reduce food costs by buying fresh food and not processed/frozen food. I was hoping from that line in the report that CF is going in that direction and the KI tweet seems to confirm that. Since all the CF parks tend to have some of the worst food as a whole (in our opinion), this is great news and hopefully we'll continue to see more of this trend. I don't mind paying the high cost for amusement park food if it's going to be quality food. -
Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
arby replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
...I think I can finally see through the tears after laughing so hard... I'm optimistic that this will be a good interactive dark ride. I guess it may be better than what they have at Universal or Disney...for those who have never been to Universal or Disney. Wow! -
Adventure City getting new coaster for 2013?
arby replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow! Who'd have thought a small park like this would get such a great family coaster? This should be very popular among locals. -

Great pictures! I love seeing behind the scenes of parks in the off season. Too bad my local park didn't do something like this. -
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay (BGT Discussion Thread)
arby replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Great pictures! Thank you for sharing. I wouldn't mind seeing Earth, Wind, and Fire. I also appreciate Sheikra for what it is. I consider it to be a good 'filler' coaster. While it will probably never make the top of most people's favorite coasters list, it is always fun to ride numerous times, and with its trick elements, it's memorable. -

They have been GREAT to look through! I'm now dreaming of a trip to Asia. -
Carowinds Discussion Thread
arby replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
They've neutered that ride so much in the past 25 years, I'm not sure if it would be worth it. Used to be much more forceful, and the last time I rode it, the ride only went one direction instead of both ways as usual. However, it's one of the few flats that they have so maybe they should keep it. If they could find a spot in the County Fair area, it'd be a good fit there. Yeah, that's my concern. It isn't the best flat out there but I'd rather have it than nothing. Fortunately it's still listed on their website so I'm hoping it will remain for awhile. -
Carowinds Discussion Thread
arby replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Screamscape posted an aerial photo of Carowinds that was taken recently. In it you can see where they are clearing the land for the proposed FestHaus-style dining facility. I sadly note that Gr8 Sk8 has in fact been taken down. Hopefully it has been moved to somewhere else in the park. -
Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
arby replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If WMG works out as well as they expect (and as well as I anticipate), then I think it's an almost certainty to have this rolled out to a lot of the CF parks in the next few years. If that does happen, I sure hope it's not another 'Windseeker,' where all of them primarily share the same look and name. -

Great pictures and TR! This makes me miss MK. -
Walk Of Shame? Theme Park Wise
arby replied to Rollercoaster Rider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have been denied a few kiddie coasters because I was too tall. Otherwise, I've never been turned town for riding any ride I wanted to. I wish they would have denied me a boomerang or three but unfortunately they let me stay. -
Lake Compounce Discussion Thread
arby replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That's great! I look forward to seeing more info on their campground. -
This is looking awesome! Thanks for the pics and the update. Less than 8 months until we're back down there (if we can make it that long.) I specifically loved Zonko's. It's good to know the merchandise will still be available. I can't believe I never noticed pumpkin fizz before. I'll have to try that next time I'm there.

Those look like a blast! Maybe Knoebels will surprise us some day with one of these.
