CHILLERLC1

Mine came in Friday. It's pinned to my room door now til probable October use. The funny thing is a Kings Dominion Pass renewal ad came on top of that in in the mail. I will always heckle Dominator - "The World's longest floorless inverting coaster" because it was a shoe horned design that ironically now graces on an open parking lot.

STILL waiting on the name. Please let the wait be worthy of saying it's saved.

We've killed other construction progress surprises with the rise of the internet so this is a great new theory of ride development to test.

I'm glad it could pull off a roll that Maverick could not. I like the first few elements particularly.

After SFMM's Terminator, maybe after the Texas Giant refurbishment/renovation the coaster will be rethemed to Walker Texas Ranger.

I got a cardboard package today but it was only a Nissan Cube cd.

I'll keep my eyes out now. I'm counting on the Philadelphia EAGLES & Florida Gators' schedule in October. I'm shooting for that month.

I remember my displeasure and impatience at age 14 in 1995 going to "The Land" and any of the 360 cinema shows at EPCOT. This Moody Blues ride could really make it with the younger crowd at least a year?

Its looks interesting and weird as an adult but if I was visiting as a Tween I'd be complaining about the length, the lack of laser guns, and have the impatience to get off the ride quick. I can understand their approach.

It's maybe high for an adult but it looks better suited for children and teens. Mom, with the money comes with you, the kid likes the videos, mom buys a SFNE ticket. It looks like they can focus on a family experience.

The "loop" has unequal amount of supports around it. The twist makes it looks obese. hahaha. It fits into today's world.

There looks to be a new entry plaza with the Zoo straight ahead and you could walk to your left to Jungle Jack's Landing and Zoombezi Bay. That seems free access. In this new entry plaza I think you could buy tickets but I bought a wristband for riding. I think it was $16. It was a good deal since I got at least 3 cycles on Sea Dragon and rode about 3-4 other flats. It was tough to decipher the 2008 operating schedule for the dry rides since they talked about/advertise the water park so much. It's an issue of website navigation for all the Columbus Zoo's properties. They have it three tiered with Columbus Zoo or Zoombezi Bay or their golf complex. They should have it in four tiers to include Jungle Jack's Landing. I did eventually find they operated up to Halloween for the dry rides when I was in town late October to see my sister and attend a Penn State Ohio State football game. It looks like it's supposed to be a tucked in/integrated section of the zoo though it's entry is just outside the main gate of the zoo. Under guest information at the Columbus Zoo site you can find JLL info. Looks like in 2009 ride cards will be suspended. Wristbands will only be sold at $6 each.

Sea Dragon is fun. I got it last October. They never clearly advertise Jungle Jack's Landing but the property does consist of the Columbus Zoo, Zoombezi Bay Water Park and Jungle Jack's Landing, the Ride Area all together.

I need to investigate these parks.

That's quite a bit of sad stories I've browsed through.

I was there the first season back of its resurrection. I was hoping like us all that Cliffhanger would be resurrected by now.

I just learned of this place about a month or two ago. It was on my vacation radar. I'm lacking an Arrow shuttle.

That was my first impression and then I thought it was otherwise just the other day. Thanks for setting me straight. I can get that bit of respect I have for the place back.

I skipped the kiddie coasters of NJ. I might pick them up there if I truly consider getting most of the coasters of my state. I may have skipped Woodstock Express at CP. It was closed for rain or the night I think when I went on Maverick's first public day in 2007. I may have purposely skipped it in 2003 when I came for TTD. I skipped the Vekoma looping, the kiddie coasters at Everland so I could guarantee a run on Eagle Fortress and Double Rock Spin, the best Topspin in the whole world. It was a worthy sacrifice. This was all before T-Express was built.

No waits for Great White or Steel Eel. : ) Your mom could watch shows at SFFT. Check out the gem that park is.

I thought the park looked mediocre and I knew it was choked up with the surrounding business park atmosphere but the postings of the last few our changed my view of the park even more. I thought the buildings came later around the park but an older member mentioned the park was built in an industrial zone. The order is different now I realize. I do appreciate the history of the park with it being built with its twin. I really wished the coaster worked out. I respect all the Super Bowl wins the Niners have but I never liked the baseball only looking Candlestick Park. I won't like their new place either if they actually do buy the park for the new stadium and provide Cedar Fair the favor of funds to help pay down debt. I'm super big on the Philadelphia EAGLES and NFL football but for the sake of CGA I like the commissioner's idea of the Raiders and Niners sharing a stadium. Hopefully the Raiders half would affect the stadium in moving north closer to Oakland, between San Fran and Oakland for a new shared stadium. I guess I'll always complain about the park's removal of the train for a Vekoma prototype that eventually got moved.

If I get antsy to get Lakemont/Delgrosso's done this year, I might really consider it.

It's still a park credit none the less. It's like getting back to Hard Rock Park. You wonder about both parks.

I've read/seen corporations sell their real estate and go to leasing it to get the money out of it. I realize this is a different business.

Six Flags was lucky to get involved first. Lucky is a bad word to use because it's a bad situation for both companies. Six Flags is fortunate it had Cedar Fair to help load a parachute with the purchase of GL. It was at least one available conduit. Cedar Fair is trying to put off a Six Flags a few years ago like Rob simply equated.
