^Accomidations have gotten better in the last few years. Lots of new hotels in the area. The park may have trouble competing.

^What about testing for Skyhawk? Any footage?

If you base your March Madness bracket on which cities/states have better coasters. If you know why this commercial was a sign of things to come/predicted the future:

I truely wonder what kind of sad low point this troll is going through in their life to resort to trolling an amusement park fan site PS: How's this thread stayed open for nearly two years, but the Seagul thread was closed in only two hours?!?

WTF??.... Oh wait, it's this guy again... The single virgin who has no friends, and thinks chance rides is out to get him. I've seen this guy on other boards, but I'm surprised he made it onto TPR

Interesting article comparing the booster and capriolo: http://www.s104638357.websitehome.co.uk/html/2xtreme_main.htm

Surprised to hear how great these rides are. As I mentioned before, I've mainly heard complaining by avid fairground ride fans saying the one armed Mondial versions are better. Personally think they look great.

Ziz confirmed! #2017 #TakethatCP #AvengeSkyrider No I didn't say that lol.. there are many projects still underway for 2016 they could be for. Juts saw Skyriders plot of land from a CWMania update and its fully grown grass and untouched. Doesn't explain the digging near Minebuster and behemoth.

If Skyhawk's lighting package is anything like the one in this video (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wXLKZvfwtQ8), it will compliment windseeker perfectly at night. That part of the park should look beautiful.

It seems like these rides are pretty popular at fairs, and I've seen a few park models before, but I've never had the chance to ride one. I can't find many reviews online about them either, but from what I've heard, they seem to be the "B&M Hyper/Giga" of the flat ride world; as in, they look quite imposing and intense from the ground, but their bark is far worse than their bite. The Mondial capriolo (one armed version) seems to be the more thrilling varient. Any thoughts? Booster/Speed/Skyscraper Booster/Speed/Skyscraper Capriolo

On Robb's Video of a crappy inverted wild mouse coaster in China ( ) ...I don't even know what to say.

Well Golden Horse never had an accident so at least I am not worried about safety. Willing to bet that the coaster opens on April 15, and has an accident the same day *Cough* April 15 was when the titanic sank on it's first trip *cough* ..Hoping history doesn't repeat itself, and I'm wrong... It needs to stay open long enough for a full POV to be released

I've attempted axyoutube channel and blog before. Neither really took off though, and with my home park being a good while away, there's not much to see... Mainly there's just stuff filmed at parks/fair's I happen to visit while traveling, and many times it's a ush job. Podcasting seems interesting, however, just like the blogging and YouTube, it seems like a pretty big thing to set up if you want to do it well. So, have any of you tried your hand at a coaster/park podcast/blog/YouTube channel? Any favourite podcasters or youtubers you follow?

^YESSSSS!!!!!... So pumped! This ride looks like it'll be great Will look weird next to Windseeker though.... You've got Windseeker on one side of the path, and what is basically "Windseeker-on-crack/do a barrel-roll version" on the other side.

Like Elissa said, without getting to know people on a personal level, it's tough. Because at that point everyone is pretty much a stranger, other than what we can decipher from the forums. And of course everyone will say "Oh, I won't be a problem..." They aren't actually. Not at all. The tours were mostly a labor of love for us and something we had fun doing. When we stopped having fun, we stopped doing the tours. Trust me, if they were a huge money maker for us, we'd still be doing them! And like Elissa said, maybe one day we will bring them back. You will still see fun trip updates on the forum, just in smaller format and back to the way we used to do them before we did public tours. Remember this one? http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17136 I've looked all over the Internet, and couldn't find anything close to what TPR offered. TPR pretty much had a monopoly on the coaster-tour market. While I understand that the "coaster-tour market" isn't a very big one, and that the tours probably wouldn't make millions, I'm surprised to hear they made so little money. Truely hoping this labor of love can come back... While it'd be a hassle, one idea could be some kind of online question are/interview process to take out the party-poopers?

Really hoping to have these tours back one day. It'd be so much more convenient to book these kinds of trips with TPR instead of setting all of this up on your own. Pisses me (and I'm sure a lot of other people) off that s few spoiled people had to ruin it for the rest of us. Guess some people couldn't appreciate how awesome the tours already were, and wanted even more.

WOW, anyone else notice all the construction trailers in the back there... Wonder how many projects are being worked on right now. Ziz 2017 Confirmed?

I second this! Loved the space shot when I went! Gives better airtime than a lot of coasters.

Six flags America 2017.

English majors don't make boilers. Since you are Canadian, you are excused. Ahh... Makes sense ...HOWEVER. According to this article, their ride-design club (more like their engineering department), had a hand in their actual team name, so that's cool Article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purdue_Boilermakers (most credible source on the web.... *didnt learn much from the OWL website*). In all seriousness though, it'll be really interesting to see if any of these college/university clubs actually help anybody make it into the industry in the coming years. Not sure who judges the contests, but if the panel is anything like the design contest I've been following lately (hosted by the CoasterRadio Podcast), or the University one hosted here in Toronto, there's some pretty big industry names involved.

Texted the article to a friend... This was his response: Not very good press for enthusiasts if you ask me.
