I think what's probably behind it all is Dick has a couple monkeys throw darts at possible names on a board. Apparently the one that had hit "Afterburn" had an accident with his diaper and was punished with the take back of the name.
It's a shame how low and unskilled it gets.
Oh wait a minute, I learned from the Geauga Lake episode that CF doesn't do animals.
It's McDiculous.

WOW - I always wanted to a) go on a TPR trip b) go back to Niagara Falls and Canada because I went there a million times before I became an enthusiast. I live just outside of Philly in Jersey so this is a dream come true. I don't have to fly in! My uncle can get me tickets for the all the places cheaply from his group plan at work but I already took advantage of him over the years. I think this will be well worth the reward to cover this trip myself and join.

Could you guys see this as a wooden coaster design pulling off the same degree of transitions? Would you see it the same way if it was a wooden coaster design?

Just being in the area there are enough area football clubs named Panthers or Nittany Lions. There is a Cheetah wooden coaster in Georgia I believe so I think this name is a cat name not used and would stand out. The sharp 180 in to the intense helix that has an awesome exit that blows me away would match well with a puma than with a jack rabbit.
Tigers jumping over the wall at the San Francisco zoo are in the news recently and SFGADV has those White Tigers they love to push. Clementon's White Tiger show ended in 2005?

The New owners of Clementon Park changed the name of the tear jerking, swift J2, originally Tsunami, wooden rollercoaster to Puma. I bet Six Flags and Cedar Fair would be jealous. Six Flags would probably have a Puma store at the ride exit. Cedar Fair could probably use those marketing guys for new coaster names.
What a way for the Clementon Park owners to turn a new page. New Kahuna water structure, a Victorian main street entrance is coming to this little park.

On another site, we have a birthday thread. Apparently you came up for 1/9 so Happy Birthday! Otherwise, you'll really trick the waiters at Fridays.
Well EST, we're there.

That was a flashback of scrambling to find content of the new concept when it first came out.
-
I agree with Pcman that Tsunami is not as rough as SOB and Villian. That is just cruel and so off base. I just rode SOB this year again without the loop and thought of what brutal it still was. Tsunami will push you to the limits and make your eyes water but it's no where near SOB. Wrong ball league.
I was still optimistic about Jack Rabbit reopening when Tsunami debuted, denying the truth about the structure problems JR had. It really had to go after years of being SBNO. It already died of its structural cancer and just needed the time and money to be removed. Sad that it finally came.

So this is the family the new Knott's coaster will come from? It looks cool. I hope it's more spread out.
-
NITRO has a nicer look lift support wise. This one has supports like Silver Star and Goliath SFOG. Not /\ but l\
-
Oh, and couldn't they have come up with something more creative than "X2"? I mean, X was bad enough.... oh well. There's my 2 cents.
-amanda
X is still X no matter which way it's flipped. How is that not ingenious?
SF is working towards shaking off the pessimism. I hope it'll work eventually.

I'm actually most fearful of that. I was hoping the new trains would be a better remedy towards this. It's what I most look forward to. I could see new billboards for this updated ride. "You are here."I doubt that this will make X smooth. After seeing how bad the vibrations on teh windwalker trains were, I think that cantilevering seats off the track on a high-speed coaster is just not stiff enough to prevent these vibrations. -
I would say I would like to try it. I can handle the most extreme Top Spin but can I take it so consecutively? The ride has to smell of warm grease after that.
-
I ride as many credits as I can. If I miss a couple kiddie coasters, so what?
-
Probably Dorney during EAGLES' bye week 10/7, then Kings Island 10/22, then SFGADV the final weekend of October to close out my season and probably buy a season pass for next year. Otherwise it'll be before New Year.
-
Capacity blows and has me worried. I don't think it would displace Stormrunner either. The loop is really cool like that launcher they have in Europe.
-
Even Vulture, Phoenix would be a better name?

Star Jet has an awesome first drop and really high banked turn after the second drop. Pirate's Castaway was my 250th coaster.

Medusa East doesn't lack anything after the MCBR. It's on grass too.

I guess what I thought about the park last year continues this year. In the 5 years I've had a season pass in the last 7 or so years I've been to SFA every year. I think my excitement for this park began to die down when I started to visit SFNE in 2003 and on. Last year proved that my opinions of top coasters in the park changed. It used to be Superman and Joker's Jinx but they both now are more rough. To my surprise I've rediscovered The Wild One as a better coaster. Now I consider Two Face, The Wild One and Roar as my park favorites. Mind Eraser and Tower of Doom are big duds. I still like Superman Ultimate Flight more than Batwing. I think I am not driven enough to come to this park this year. I may need a break from this so-so park this year. The desire of those large souvenir maps drew me last year, which was a big reward since I found the collector's set with the rest of the maps there.
-
I had my goodbye ride last year, knowing about the rumor and thinking it would be gone by the new year. Here we are again a year later. I'm sure this is it though. So long Marty.

I was in Orlando this week last year. IOA was an easy to get through whole day. The lines for Dueling Dragons was only 20-40 min. The Studios I did in a half day visit.

Thank you for steering me there gang. Coasterforce does have a nice guide and basic info about each park. It is much appreciated. When I'm there I'm pretty much in the hands of my hosts. I hope to print a couple homepages for the parks I'm interested and show it to them. I hope they get the clue. In the info guide they'll get with my Bio I included as a hobby my love of coasters. Lotte World looks more inticing now. I really hope it opens sooner than scheduled for the work it was supposed to get.
X2 Trains Arrive At SFMM
in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

I don't see how the blue fits in but at least the train will be better distinguished against the red track/gray supports. I'm glad to hear the trains are in.
