^I wouldn't put it past them to try something like that though... It'd make their trash barges look more like trash barges.

^Just because the debate as to which would open first is over doesn't mean that the debate over which will close first is over...

Official POV has been released:

Spoiler alert: I am Magneto.

^^That is becoming far less of an impossibility considering the crazy things that have managed to open this year in the industry...

^^Redevelopment for Orphan Rocker more likely means demolition than operation. I can't imagine that the track is in any condition to be taking any riders, let alone trains along its course.

It is great to see this long-in-the-works project finally coming to fruition. Hopefully the new Dreamland will remain open for a long time to come!

They all still look like The Swarm to me, but it is neat to see them using a local artist to give them a little bit of a unique flair.

I think the land is capable of supporting a more permanent show venue in addition to a major new attraction/realm. Just look at what Sheikra did to the little corner of Stanleyville when it was added. I think we'll continue to see new coasters at Busch Gardens designed with entirely new lands/realms in mind, bringing in other offerings like dining venues, entertainment and animal spaces all into one, like we've seen with Cheetah Hunt, Jungala and (by a stretch) Antarctica: Empire of the Penguins.

Expansion by fire! I love it!

^None of the images seem to be working for me.

^No.

Flotsam and Jetsam look very familiar...

^Boo who?

^I think that ship has sailed... There are other candidates far more closely in line that are already/still within the company's ranks.

^^That's only one stretch of track and this ride already looks beautiful.

^Considering how much good he did for the company within weeks of starting with Cedar Fair, I think the board of directors and the shareholders both have plenty of reason to want him to stay on!
