Will there be on-board audio added? It would be great to have the midi version of "Everybody Dance Now"playing in the background.

I think you're the only one who lives under a rock.

I rode the one at Canada's Wonderland a few times. The only reason I went on it after the first time is because my friends wanted to try it out. Each time was horrible because I don't fit properly with the ladder. One rung is too high, the one lower was too low so I went on the higher one and bent my knees a little.

Has it been confirmed that the new attraction is opening with the park? Maybe they'll have something sort of banner underneath the dinosaur announcing the opening date. The way it's standing, it just seems awkward if they don't add anything around it. Being brutally honest... It kind of has this Ray Charles stance to it.

It's pretty much confirmed that it's dinosaur related. I'm not sure how a halloween attraction can pan out from dinosaur theming. When I was looking through the teaser page's source code (hey, you never know what you may find! ), they used 'dino' as part of the name for objects on the page. Judging by everything I've seen up to this point, I'm guessing it'll be a walk through thing. The beginning will start with a story about how some sort of shipping thing went wrong and the creature, which happens to be a dinosaur, got out and at the end you're met with a dinosaur replica. Is the red line on the map a path?

^ The video link is fudged up. Here it is again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guNwob56HPM I'm going to guess it's some sort of walk-through attraction through the forest, though I can't really come up with any more details since they all sound lame. Hopefully Cedar Fair is more creative than I am at the moment. Oh God.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing the pictures and updates! Like another member, I was also wondering about the progress on the catwalks. I figured it would be one of those things that would look more complete when the ride officially opens... I am surprised, though, that they'd still run it with the turn out of the station so exposed to the road like that.

Was Invertigo painted recently when it was at CGA? It looks in very good shape aesthetically from the pictures I've seen.

I think someone 'asked the GM' that on Wonderland's Facebook page. They said they're 'exploring different themed action films' after 2011. Are the other Action Theatres in other parks in or around the kids areas? Maybe a Red Baron movie featuring Snoopy? Or maybe Days of Thunder, but with the number 3 all over it?

Yup, they did have a Haunt. They have a section about it on Geauga Lake Today. It doesn't seem like it lasted very long though.

Personally I didn't like Steve Alcorn's "Theme park Design" book. I'm not sure if it was just my copy, but there were a lot of grammatical mistakes in it. As for the content, there's a lot of nice facts, but I was hoping for more diagrams and pictures (which are non-existant) and more in-depth information. I ended up returning it for a refund. If you can get the book cheap, it's still a decent read I guess since I haven't come across too many books like this.

Wonderland also has a Mondial Splashover, which is more or less a top spin... It was even used in FireFall's promotional art. As for the dip in hiring, it could be possible that it's just to save in wages for whatever is coming in 2012. shimmer of optimism> Or just save in wages. Period.

So they posted some pictures of Windseeker pieces on Facebook... Anyone else see that ride on the left side of the picture?

Is there a reason why they seem to be receiving the pieces from the top down? I thought they'd receive them the other way so they could start installing it sooner. Or am I just confusing the colors here?

Hooray for pathetic memes! (I'm sorry in advance... )

First it was IAPPA, now the Prince is stuck at an airport, waiting in the holiday rush! THEY BEST NOT PAT DOWN TEH PRINCE! HOPE THEY DON'T FIND ROLL COASTER PEACES IN MY SUITECASE.

I haven't posted here in years, but I just had to share with you... PRINCE DESMOND STARS IN BONUS COLORS OF TEH WORLD SEEN.

The giant flume does. Just start building from the bottom of the drop. Use shift and submerge the track in water, just before it turns red.

You're comparing a dangerous vehicle (drunk drivers!) with a safe reliable B&M (which follows the same track every single time). But I'm talking about a safe driver... whatever B&M yay....

That's kind of like saying you've never had an accident in your car so there's no point in having seatbelts.

With a park this size (pretty small), I don't think your graphic settings should be so low. But it's a good start, RCT3 does need to get a bit of adjusting to.

When it rains, does Cedar Fair land close? And then all of the coasters run one train?

It's a picture of Cliffhanger at Wonderland (Mondial Splashover). They used the same thing for KDs TRFF ads so it could be any top spin really... but I think the top spin is definitely confirmed.

I think a lot of focus from the park is going towards Halloween Haunt. From what I've seen so far (and not even a lot), it looks promising. But I'm sure after Halloween Haunt, they'll kick it into overdrive over at the Behemoth construction site.
