Looks Really fun. Wish I has the money, and the room.

Seems about right. Look at once of the taller palm trees. They're maybe 30ft tall(guessing), now line ut up with the lift hill. It fits about three of them stacked vertically.

Relax, a little surface rust never hurt anything.

You're going to tape Jeopardy for one question that you probably already know?

What are you talking about? Why do you think they tamed it over the years? A kiddie coaster???

Sorry, but I don't see what's so great about this coaster. You had pumps everywhere. Bad transitions into each element/turn, and it also goes a little slow through the loop. It's not that hard to fix the bumps/pumps, so it doesn't look like you put mc effort into it. Anyways, it was a good idea, but bad execution.

That's what I was wondering also. As long as it's at least 53degrees, I'm happy.

I did, I checked our whole street out with my 30million CP spotlight. TUrns out it was two more streets over.

I will get some pics up later. But I couldn't get too close, the have the roads blocked off, so you have to cut through the golf course. They still havn't found out what caused it. And it turns out the lady was inside the house and she got blown into the backyard. She has no injuries except for some minor burns and some lost hair...

You all thought I was crazy for coming into the TPR chat first thing after I thought I heard a bomb go off... Lastnight I was just chilling out in the living room, when I heard a MASSIVE explosion. Shook the whole house and rattled the picture frames. It was 12:30AM, so we didn't go out driving, wish we did though. A few streets down, a house was leveled to the ground. The whole thing blew up, nothing left but the fireplace. Windows were blown out across the street, 2x4's in trees. The blast was heard 5 miles away. http://www.myfoxhouston.com/myfox/pa...pageId=1.1. 1

Say it was reverse and you were used to the darker colors, and then they wanted to paint it light blue. Would you feel the same? You'll get used to it.

I could see it going to SFFT. They could heavly theme it and and no one would be the wiser. I've heard people down here call Serial Thriller and BTR(at SFOT) the same ride. "Yeah the have this same ride at SFOT"

It's new paint so who cares....? As long as they come up with a decent excuse for red, I'm happy. They could call it, "Mr. Freeze vs global warming".

How is it that it only goes 51mph when it has a 91ft drop? Texas Cyclone only had an 80ft drop and it went 65mph.

Sad to see it go, but hey, at least you didn't lose your whole park.

Lame.

You're kidding, right...?

Haha, maybe it was just saying they thrilled you last year, and this year will be no different(as in no ride).

A rocket ala Kanonen and a Mr. Freeze clone are a lot more similar to eachother then Ka and Chiller are. Ka is a full circuit, height/speed based coaster, Chiller is a shuttle loop. Mr. Freeze is a massive shuttle loop, and Kanonen is a tiny little launched looper. Although now that I think about it, it does make sense sense that they would build a rocket, and seeing as how they are the hot item in the coaster world these days, I'd say that if they are building a coaster, it has a chance to be a rocket. Well, it could be advertised as Texas's only rocket coaster... It makes more sense that they would build a rocket over a flyer because SFFT would be the ideal place to build a flyer(Flying on the cliffs ). But, none of us will know for sure until Monday. No real point in discussing this any further, besides to pass the time.

Well, just going by what they said, I don't know what "atmosphere" is thrilling... Maybe when they tried the "friendly park" thing out in 2006 and that didn't work to pull in more people, they decided to go back to the old six flags style.

Nahh, lets just keep getting our hopes up. They could fit something next to Titan though...

Aww, I miss Dreamcast. It was fun getting 4 people and having competitions on Crazy Taxi, and the battling it out on vigilante 8.

Just curious, where are you getting this info from?

Oh come on, people don't go to these parks for the rides....they come for the theater! Duh
