13 million is 2001, prly 15-16 Million in today's money[/quo Patriot was only about 12 million i think, and that was build in 2005-2006 off season. And patriot is slightly longer. Wonder why Talon was 1 million more? I think Patriot was 14 million Talon was filled with sand. Maybe that added on to it.

Looking at those slides has me like:

The cars are already at Valleyfair. I saw them about a week ago when I had an interview.

Poor OzCat. I got to ride it back in '04. Very fun and a little underrated.

And let's not forget that floorless coasters put you that much closer to the track! At least it feels that way, okay! And then, there's Silver Dollar City's Wildfire. Look how much higher WF's trains ride. It's not sure whether to be a floorless or sitdown.

Had a Job interview at the park today for a ride operator. The old sign's still up out front. Not sure if this means anything or not, but there was a lone, unattended bulldozer between the main entrance and the employee housing.

Here's a stupid idea: a custom Vekoma Stingray-type flyer.

While we've been talking about the possibility of relocating Mad Mouse to make way for future Soak City expansion, how about moving it to the apitheater's spot and have it be part of Route 76 as a throwback to (Wild) Rails as MM is essentially a next-gen version of that ride and a better fit in R76 than Northern Lights.

Of course we'd all rather have one of them, but when's the last time you visited the MoA? Our floor to ceiling differential is around 70 feet, Rides are intertwining everywhere, and more and more restaurants are being added that subtract space. Neither option is feasible and we'll just have to stick with positive forces.

Here's a great name for you to ponder: Primal: Scream of the Jungle.

If the wave is replaced with a splashdown effect, I think that the bridge should remain in some way for guests to get splashed.

While we're on the subject of S&S rides, and we've been talking on and off about new Wild Thing trains, how about them new S&S trains like Titan is getting?

And with the sheer height of the tower, the coaster could easily be one of the longest in the world.

As long as when Excalibur does get replaced, they theme it in a similar way as when Dorney replaced Hercules with Hydra.

I realize that I might be in the minority here, but what would you think about a Great Bear style pre-drop? Also, with the positive reception with KI's Banshee, I think our invert (when we get it) will be on the more intense side.

Carowinds: Fure 325 track is complete. Valleyfair: Vertical Construction has just begun. Busch Gardens Williamsburg: What coaster are you talking about?

Credit whore

^Power Tower has been tamed a lot since its opening. It ran much more thrilling cycles when it first opened, especially on the Turbo Drop.

All 4 Morgan Hypers, Steels Eel and Dragon are custom. *edited*

What about HaVoC with yellow track, black supports and either red or orange rails?

The things that bothers me about the alleged Cedar Point dive coaster: 1. The price tag--16 million for a 220 ft tall, 3000+ track length 2. What would the CP general public think of it. It adds nothing new to the lineup. Dragster has a 90 degree drop, Maverick has a 95 degree drop, Gatekeeper has seats not directly above or below the track, and depending on what train configuration they go with; Rougarou has floorless trains. 3. Why add a dive coaster now when Mean Streak is in need of greater immediate attention? 4. The thing that CP lacks the most is a modern wooden coaster.

Another reason to kill the MCBR!

If that new hole is general infrastructure, why would he tweet about it?

The Cedar Point reports say that the B&M Dive Machine is ONE of the options on the table for 2016. It could very well be an RMC re-tracking of Mean Streak. And I question what a dive machine could do for the park. I've seen that spot better for a GCI wooden coaster anyways. Now, let's get back on track to Valleyfair.

I may not have been to the park a whole lot recently (including Haunt once back in '09), but don't they do this during Haunt along with (sometimes) the first hour or two of every other operation day for a similar purpose? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
