^ Most likely. That station stood vacant for almost a decade, and all of a sudden they remove it now, and in February no less. Something is definitely going there, and it's about time.

Wow, so that was true. Start drumming up the TRex 2017 rumours!

^ Oh yea, I know that it isn't going to happen, because knowing the parks track record, it would fall to pieces within months. I was just envisioning a scenario in which they did take this course of action. And even in that scenario, it still doesn't make sense.

This is quite possibly the greatest photo TR I've ever seen. I can't believe I didn't see this post before today.

^ I can see Blackbeard being re-themed, but I don't think they'd go full Gotham City. Unless they made everything from Joker all the way to B:TR and Nitro part of Gotham as well, in which case, that would be a huge section. And it still wouldn't be cohesive, because no iteration of Gotham City I've seen has ever had a giant skull in the middle of it.

You know there's a difference between a newspaper and a random post on an internet forum, right?

This is the exact post. That is indeed worded as fact. Clearly reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

^ Exactly. I could care less if it stays Blackbeard or becomes Harley Quinn. Heck, it's so specific a rumour that I'd even be willing to believe it. But because it was stated as fact with no corroboration, I asked for some.

When most people post mentioning a change in the park, they'll provide a source. Even if it's made-up, saying "oh the dippins dots guy told me", or "a friend of a friend" is giving a source. That particular poster gave nothing. Just a random post with a hashtag. That's why I asked. I still don't understand why this is such a big deal to you, but I digress. Let's take the discussion back to the park.

All I did was ask a question. I'm pretty sure questions are vital to "create discussion".

How does someone provide a source for something that has not been formally announced? He probably heard it at an employee event or from an employee. Why don't you just assume what he said is true and if it turns out it's not then who cares and you'll know he's not credible. If we assumed everything people say on this site is true then we are seriously, seriously screwed. Is this instance really that big of a deal? It's a re-theming of a children's ride. I doubt there are many people actively spreading untrue rumours as minor as that. Why are you getting so worked up over me asking someone a question?

Why don't you just assume what he said is true and if it turns out it's not then who cares and you'll know he's not credible. I'm not going to assume anything. You know the saying. If any of the actual park employees who regularly post here want to lend credence to what he said then I'll believe it.

^ Yes, it is. And I agree, the colours are great. Much better than the originally proposed red and yellow.

^ And your source is? Not saying it isn't plausible, but you gotta give us more to work with than a hashtag.

Agreed. If it isn't head banging, it's groin pain. Or pain my legs because of all the weight shifting to them during the ride. I guess they're just a model that haven't aged well, because some people talk about how great GL was when it was Chang.

It's mostly about height. I've ridden GL so many different ways based off tricks mentioned on this site, and nothing changed the fact that I was getting the snot kicked out of me. It's because I'm only 5'7, so no matter what I do, my head isn't getting above the restraints. Although I will say, even though I only rode it once, my ride on Riddler was infinitely more enjoyable than any of my dozens of rides on GL, so layout might also play a factor.

Coney Island its opening day: March 20.

I only bash it as violently as it has me. Which is to say, quite a bit.

^ I remember seeing that when I visited in August. I thought it was a clever way to emphasise that no loose article is safe from the beast that is Skyrush.

Agreed, Holiday in the Park gave me a new appreciation for it. It's not Manta or Tatsu but it's a ton of fun. My thoughts exactly. My appreciation for B&M flyers has grown immensely over the past year. S:UF went from a hard pass to an occasional spin for me. Definitely agree that its nowhere near as good as Tatsu and Manta as well. Here's the thing, it's still pretty smooth. My biggest complaint is the constant head-banging throughout the course. Most likely because I'm not very tall so my head is firmly between the restraints, and not above it. It's just a model that is very outdated, and it replaced a legendary ride that once saved the park from closing.

I might be the only person in the world crazy enough to admit this, but I miss Viper.

Count me amongst those that miss GASM. Such an iconic ride, torn down and replaced with secondhand trash.

Why did Manning go, and not Von Miller? Miller was MVP.

Boy did I whiff on my prediction. Denver's defense was incredible, and Carolina looked like they let the moment get the best of them.

Any predictions for today? I have Carolina rolling Denver, 34-14.
