^Georgia is the SEC's version of Notre Dame. ALWAYS highly ranked in the preseason, but ALWAYS find a way to end the year in the middle of the pack.

I really need to get to HKDL for Halloween one of these years. Love that they do stuff so different than the other parks.

The biggest thing about all these Chinese theme parks, is as Robb and Elissa suggested, they lack depth. The detail is only on the surface (and, admittedly does look great), whereas Disney and Universal create completely immersive experiences.

"A bridge and water" could mean anything without context. Bringing back the Dolphin show would involve water and bridges for the trainer...

^That's a testament to how "awesome" Full Throttle will be?

He drops down real quick. It's hidden so well by the lightning effects, you can't see it in real time. Robb slowed down his video to show it.

Storyline for Dinosaur: "dark...dark...dark...dark...DINOSAUR!...repeat"

Notre Dame always seems to look good until they have to play one of their tougher opponents. Then it becomes clear how far behind they have fallen.

Scottsdale isn't exactly a tourist haven. They should probably stick to their core strengths of golf, baseball, and casinos.

Not all of those are even really rehabs. "Routine maintenance" for Tom Sawyer rafts & only running one ship on the Rivers of America="there's no one in the park, so why bother?"

Sounds like this might be the beginning of the end for the balloon company.

^Unless they are throwing HHN budget at a maze, I am sure Trapped will just be like all the other mazes with some effects that are not normally up to building code (tight spaces, make you crawl, etc.). A unique experience to Haunt for sure, but I'm not expecting to be wowed.

^Have fun traveling with your friends riding roller coasters? I know that's not nearly as exciting as counting coasters and posting about roller coasters on the internet though.

^Agreed! Dueling barrel rolls would be awesome! I would settle for just a RMC topper track rehab though.

^I don't think it is two doors. It looks to me like the door opening is a projected effect, not two doors actually opening. This seems like a larger scale version of how Shariki disappears at ToT in Tokyo: lights go out, "mirror" quickly moves out of way.

So how many of the cosplay chicks did you go for Adam?

No. Just no. First of all, the park will not get a coaster that large since it is currently the lowest profitable park in CF. Also, the park has strict height restrictions from the nearby San Jose International Airport, so CGA can't build rides much taller than 200'. So, CGA can see a full-sized dive machine or a hyper, but it won't see a giga or a strata ever. The height requirement is a legitimate issue. "Spending money to make money" would easily solve CGA's woes.

That block allows them to theoretically run 3 trains...but since it is SFMM, and 3 trains would signify the end of the world, I definitely agree. Bring back the double down!

You're doing a great job! Always love seeing your TR's of random China parks. I am sure the TPR China trip participants appreciate it as well, as it might mean more credits for them!

Awesome technology! Really loving how Disney is once again innovating with Universal right on their tail.

As usual, Oregon wins the awful uniform competition.

Some updates: -The Terror Tram will close at 9:30PM on Thursday and Sunday nights. -Annual Pass Holders have the opportunity to take a lights on tour of Walking Dead with John Murdy on October 7th! It should be available as a ticket option if you login for the annual pass discounts. Scarezones: http://www.halloweenhorrornights.com/hollywood/2012/new_scare_zones.php

I don't think it is as expensive as you think. LIM's are pretty efficient now. Plus, now rides use

Has anyone ever told you that your posts really are completely obnoxious? And most of them don't even make sense. --Robb "Someone needed to say it..." Alvey My post makes sense. People are upset because the ride didn't meet their extremely high expectations. That doesn't mean I'm obnoxious for pointing out that people should be at least a little happy that SFMM is getting a new ride. I didn't realize having a different opinion was so frowned upon. Why am I such a target for you? All I was saying was that people should look on the bright side a little more... The cheese and whine comment was the obnoxious part...totally ruins whatever validity the rest of your post had.

Magic Mountain hasn't purchased an extra train for a ride since Viper. The "extra" trains they have ended up with were simply the result of the fact they can't run the rides they have to their intended capacity. The pumps are so heavy, they will need a crane to be removed. Probably why they haven't been touched yet. As for the ride? It's a credit to me. Hopefully it is exciting, but it certainly doesn't make me go "holy crap! I need to ride this NOW!".
