If by, "smooth these last two seasons" you mean bone shatteringly painful, and completely unrerideable unless you are on Vicodin. Then yes, it has been running as smooth as a babys bare bottom on Vicodin. Guy "Morphine and Vicodin are a close friends of Voyage." Koepp

Fixed infinity! Meh...I'm not sold on 61 year old fake boobs. They should have gone with Weird Al if they wanted a throwback to the old days! The great thing about 61 year old fake boobs is that they look just like 18 year old fake boobs. In fact, fake boobs that are 10 years burried look like 18 year old fake boobs. Just brown and leathery. So... ...tan 18 year old boobs! Any way you look at them, they still look like 18 year old fake boobs. So, count me in!

I want a GWAR maze! I wanna get sucked up by a giant worm!

Fixed infinity!

Fixed.

It's an interesting look at the park, but when the story gets finished, you'll still never see the real reason that the park(s) failed. No offense, but there are 257 pages before this one that very thoroughly cover that discussion. The bottom line is this (which NONE of the experts, insiders, or creators of HRP will ever admit to, because if they did - it would mean that they had an initial catastrophic misjudgment): the per capita income of residents and tourists to the area simply could not sustain a large amusement park, especially with a $50 admission. Myrtle Beach residents and tourists couldn't sustain a park 1/5 the size (that was always busy), Myrtle Beach Pavillion. Nor could they sustain an outlet shopping mall which stood vacant for years on that very site HRP was built on. They barely sustain Family Kingdom, only 3 miles away. The three most important things in business are: 1. Location 2. Location 3. Location It was built in a very BAD location. You will find in the previous 257 pages many, many predictions, before the park even opened, of the park's demise. Once it opened, and a few people here had visited, those people said "get there while you can - it won't last". We knew this, but because we don't have financial backing, or certain corporate sponsors, we "don't know what we're talking about". Yet the park failed. Twice. By people that KNOW what they are doing. They will NEVER admit that it's a bad location. Never. Remember Opryland? Smaller park. Same fate. Entirely different circumstances. Opryland was a profitable park. It's still shrouded in mystery as to why it was closed. The general consensus is that the Gaylord family was just greedy and saw that the overhead for a mall was drastically cheaper than the overhead for a park. Where as this is kinda obvious, the park wasn't closed due to lack of visitors. With that said, I think Nashville would be better suited to having a theme park than where they put HRP.

Am I that transparent?

Come for the fireworks. But stay for the pole dancing! My kinda theme park!

I looks like you all are having aw awesome time. I look forward to seeing how the trip unfolds.

SFOMA? Six Flags Over My Ass?

I'm not sure why but this made me (literally) laugh out loud. Comedy will do that to you.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Iron Rattler at 6FFT has been closed as well for precautionary reasons.

SHAZAM! Oh yes you did! We need to resurrect this expletive! Guy "Also trying to resurrect SOLID!" Koepp

Trust me, that's not a shocker. Either that or your doing it wrong.

You have to think about this? Bring on the SPF 50! It's the wallet that's holding me back, then again...I'm already going out here to live it up so why the hell not? Sorry to drift from park stuff but does anyone know if the PCH can realistically be done in a day? Making just a few brief stops along the way? I felt fine after 9 hours in the car, and 12 "on the road" going to Cedar Point and I didn't even use red bulls! I have the same problem. My wallet is huge and causes quite a dent in my ass. That's why I now only wear pants with side pockets. I don't wanna ruin the money maker.

This is truly a tragic accident. It is always a sad day when anyone get hurt or dies regardless of the circumstances. My heart goes out to the family during their time of pain. With that said, that was a Great Interview Robb. Cool, calm, well spoken, and informative. Hopefully many affiliate networks will rebroadcast the interview.

Viper is so much more enjoyable than any existing Arrow multilooper. I still love that ride. And I am sure to give it many re rides every time I visit.

You have to think about this? Bring on the SPF 50!

^ Yeah, but it's a good kinda crushing your chest.

Yes, we did the whole park over on the Sunday after the fourth. Should be no problem, as there isn't a ton of rides to do. Just make sure you get on all the coasters, RiverBlast, Flooded Mine, The Giant Swing, and you should have a great day. I'd recommend doing the Molly's Mill Buffet Breakfast. It opens an hour before the park, and for $10 you can't beat it. Also, make time to do the cave tour, it's free and a really unique attraction. Buy a souvenir bottle and use it to get $2.50 frozen lemonade and Barq's Red Cream Soda Floats all day. SDC is by far the best park in MO. All of their coasters are fantastic, and the atmosphere at the park is unmatched anywhere else in the country (not including Dollywood). Fixed.

just do as Robb says and you'll be fine. Words to live by.

I have got to get to this park one day. Awesome photos Chuck.

Perhaps they're HAUNTed! And not of this earth.

FIXED! Guy "The miracles of plastic surgery!" Koepp
