Sorry about that. Most American chocolate has added preservatives to increase shelf life--thereby increasing profits by decreasing amount of product thrown away. So now I know what that preservative tastes like to those outside the US.

That gate was added after the Imax theater demolition/addition of the breakers slides. In addition to what ^ said, since that gate was never meant to be there, it's used more as associate entrance/exit and as an emergency exit. Whether or not it will remain this way with all the talk of expansion remains to be seen.

As someone who has worked with the CF metal detectors, it's very hit or miss. There was one guy that came in early in the day, his belt set it off, he left the park, and when he came back in later, silence from the detector. Other times, the detectors have reacted to absolutely nothing at all. So yeah, the metal detectors are more placebolic CYA than anything.

In general, how does the Zamperla Volare compare to the Vekoma Stingray or Flying Dutchmen?

I'm surprised this thread doesn't make the front page more often. Or even a mention on TPR's twitter. BTW: have you ever done stand-up?

^While that is strangely and oddly hypnotic, methinks you are a few eggs short of an omelette.

I was half expecting Rick Astley to show up. It'll be interesting to see how many views this gets.

A fly landed on my shoe, so I told it "Shoe fly, don't bother me."

What I am most interested in is how you figured out the square footage of the coasters. Is this from a source you got somewhere on the internet, or is this something you've been able to figure out on your own? I got closer to 15,000 square feet.

Your bumper car story reminds me of one night when I was working Valleyfair's bumper cars. It was the last ride of the night and the only two people were this older couple in their 80s. He just spent the whole ride chasing her around and ramming her when she got trapped in the sea of unoccupied cars. I can totally see that being you and Brit in a few years. Oh, and Cosmotron DJ probs has a sh!t-eating grin on his face.

^Canobie Lake Park still has their Turkish Twist for now...

I enjoyed my few rides on it back in 2014 (but not when I hit up Bamboozler, Finnish Fling, and Zulu in a row). I'm upset that another Rotor is gone. But at least we know now where Nordic Chaser is going. The park is also auctioning off the last rides for charity. There is also this t-shirt Photo taken from WOF social media

As someone who's spent the last three summers operating an S&S Tower, I don't know what I find more disturbing: that there are panels covering up the interior mechanisms of the tower, or that it is without the air rush sound that's etched itself into my brain.

It was also a Friday the 13th. What better time to visit a haunted attraction?

Another one bites the dust. RIP Logger's Run 1976-October 29, 2018.

GhostRider has two periods of downtime coming up. It's so unreliable now and needs an unbelievable amount of maintenance. I can't wait until they remove it. And don't even get me started on that disappointing waste of space Timberline Twister. /sarcasm

It wouldn't surprise me if part of that reason dealt with parents ignoring the warnings to leave the kids at home, and when they got to the park, they complained that the kids areas were closed, the kids could ride nothing, and were getting traumatized by all the scareactors.

After your review of Hurakan Condor, I can't wait to hear what you think of Falcon's Fury next month.

It's awesome Trip Reports like this that piss me off that I live 20 minutes south of BGT without a car.

Do you know if the girl from the Devil's Wheel video has seen it yet?

Actually I am colour blind within certain colour palettes. That would actually be something good to lead with when asking about colors

And they're all a$$holes for skipping over such genius storytelling.
