^ Ummmm... link? It's interesting they are removing the go-kart track from Surfside. Not only has it been there forever, BUT more interesting about that is the path of the tunnel after the the first drop on the old infamous pier-spanning GCI that never seems to be happening would actually go right where that track is they are removing. Hmmmmm... Also I guess they are expanding the go-karts track on Adventure Pier into the spot where the maze was, if they are in fact moving it. Both of those go kart courses (Surfside & Adventure) I've always felt are super lame compared to the course on Mariners. Its twisty, has elevation changes, its mostly under the boardwalk, and the little hop on the back straightaway where you can get a little air if you are going fast enough has always been one of the best things ever. TGW didn't really need new wood but I'll take it. Like I said that 3rd turnaround (before the bunnyhops) was brutal but the rest was fine. So nice to see them taking care of their best ride.

OMFG LMAO at that video ^ You guys just don't seem to appreciate what this park has done for us. At what other park are you able to ride something before you even enter the main gate? The parking lot even has a line to get on, just like all the other rides! This year they are offering flash pass to skip the toll booths! Just an extra $74 dollars and you can hop right on that parking lot!

Guys, guys. Let's give Great Adv some credit. The may have bungled Zumanjaro, but they did have last years big new coaster up and running before Memorial Day weekend. OK sorry I'll stop being such a joker.

My problem with Mean Streak is that Maverick is right next to it. Why would I want to spend my time riding a boring rough piece of crap when I could spend that time waiting for the best coaster ever built.

I'm not getting excited for opening until the giant HAHAHA sign goes up. #priorities

Speak for yourself

The park will not remove Batman. And if I found out they are even thinking of it I will walk the 50 miles up there and with one hand I will flip the entire park into the lake.

Please say its Twister. Jolly Roger? Teacups? Not Houdini!!!!! As far as coasters, I could see it being Bizarro before Skull Mountain, unfortunately. Skull Mountain does good numbers and its a quality family coaster. Bizarro is mostly deadsville and thats a decent amount of space back there they could use for something else. I would be gutted, but there has been speculation/rumors about Bizarros removal for years. If they gave it to SFA I wouldn't be mad. Sure as hell won't be Batman. That leaves BBLTT.

Something tells me this thing is going to go up quick.

^ I think there is some truth to that. People I work with that typically mention coaster news/announcements to me made no mention of ToteMay back in Sept, but a bunch of them have asked me if I "knew about Great Adventures new roller coaster?" within the past few days.

^ Out of my only 2 (awesome) rides on Magnum it did stop there on one of them and yes it was sudden and slightly painful. We were in row two and in front of us were a couple of regulars that were shocked it happened.

Well I guess Playland's Castaway Cove got wind that the other new Jersey S&S machine was starting to rise from the ground. They moved the webcam but now its back to focused on the work being done. From Playlands FB Page: Lift off.

From Cedar Point's Instagram: "I want valvaran now!"

Bummer, I had high hopes for some quality reading this morning. Yesterday this thread was total mayhem.

Because it couldn't possibly be the crew.

^ It's the fireballs!

The strobes?! Come on... you know it was the neon pumpkin.

LOL Whatever. Bizarro is a solid floorless, and easily my favorite (as you know I haven't ridden Dominator yet). Its not the best ride in the park but its great that its there. And is that also a dig at Skully? Cause as the president/founder/chairman/overlord, I do possess the power to ban you from the cult.
