Even Jesus can not believe how you missed that joke.

I think I dated this girl. Was her name Lena?

So are they going to put plastic bags on the human riders heads as well? What part of Marmalization is that? The auto erotic asphyxiator?

They are a slow burn. I'm hoping the next one is a shocker.

I think it's way cool that you have such an awesome relationship with the Fun Spot that they ask you to come down and do these documenting shots with them. It takes a long time to cultivate that kind of friendship. Kudos on the awesome footage, but more importantly, kudos on your well deserved and well earned opportunities. Fun Spot is in great hands.

Mission Accomplished!

^I hope it's a bit faster than that?

Fixed.

I don't want to see my face with one of those smiles. I am scary enough in regular pictures.

Now Silver Bullet on the other hand. That may only increase the rides enjoyment. Or will it be called Tellub Revlis?

If there's a market for Duck Dynasty. There's a market for Carnival. Fortunately, I am not in either of those markets.

What does SMDH stand for? $h!t in My Damn Hand?

^Thank you for clarifying my thoughts on this matter. What would happen if YOLOcoaster at MM was ready to go, but Premiere took 5 years to deliver a working train for it. No right minded executive would put up with that. Lawsuits would be filed. Refunds would be asked for. And Premiere would probably be out of business. I actually am shocked that HW has given them this long to get these things right. GG should really consider themselves lucky that HW has stuck with them for this long. If 3 times is a charm, then I am expecting rainbows and unicorns to magically appear if these trains ever get done. I know in my industry, you can only get things wrong so many times before no one will work with you. And by so many times, I mean once, maybe twice if you're lucky. I certainly hope HW hasn't spent any of their own coin yet on these things. My concern is that when they finally have a train that works, will all the rehab they've done on the track be for not? Cause lets face facts. It doesn't matter how much lotion you moisturize with. If you rub your skin with sand paper. It's gonna feel rough. And hurt. And right now. Voyage hurts. The last 4 years, I have ridden it once on my first visit to see if it has changed, and then don't bother the rest of the year. I probably won't bother at all this year as i find myself enjoying the day much more when I don't ride it. It really is just not worth the headache. And don't get me wrong. I am in no way bashing HW. Me and my family love the park and have visited on average of 3 times a season since we moved here to Nashville. And we will continue to visit this year and many years to come. But this whole Timberliner situation is getting ridiculous now. Holiday World is really getting the short end of the stick on this deal.

I can't wait to get on this coaster! Oh Scandi! You can't come quick enough.

It looks to me like they're setting up for a night time video shoot.

Me likey Scottish Aiggs! 3 great tastes that taste great together. Buttered up, batter dipped and deep fried! Yummy!

I am down with the Scottish aiggs! However, when we made them, we wrapped them in a philo dough. They come out all light and flakey, like a puff pastry. Avacado on the other hand. Ughhhhhhh! (insert throwup emoticon) Just looks too much like baby $h!t. I can't eat it.

^So your going to Scandi in June? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Not entirely Joey. I rode it during the day as well as at night because I had heard rumors that there were small tweaks. The daytime ride was just the standard Calico Mine Train ride. However, they had a different audio track that they would run during the HAUNT hours. Creepier music, ominous lighting, and lots of weird sound effects, and a documentary like narration during the ride that told a story describing how hundreds of years ago, the miners uncovered a hell hole deep in the Calico mine and released hells inferno upon the town. The townsfolk were somehow able to harness the evil and seal it back into the mine. Several decades later when the Witch arrived, It was rumored that the fine folks of Calico hung the Witch, burned her, and threw her remains down the deepest shaft. But before she died, she cursed the town, and said that she would return and bring all of hell with her. Apparently a recent excavation had in fact uncovered the remains of a human female body who they could not confirm or deny could have been the Witch. Unfortunately during the excavation, they not only uncovered the Witch, they also opened up the hell mouth. And Hell was brought upon Calico again. This correlated with the new show over in the Mystery Lodge, where a mad scientist used a human sacrifice to bring the newly uncovered hell mouth to life again. Also releasing the Witches spirit as well. In my honest opinion, without doing a complete overlay, they were able to create an awesome story leaving the Calico Mine Train as is. With only the smallest of changes, and the addition of the Mystery Lodge show, they successfully resurrected the Witch, and gave a cool backstory to the whole HAUNT. In my opinion, they did a masterful job. And as I said before, 2012 HAUNT was the best in a while and one of the best that I can remember ever. So, Go Knott's! Keep up the great work. You have a lifetime attendee.

^I would love to know your source. Cause this just sounds ludicrus. And, in my honest opinion, HAUNT has been upping their game the last few years. Aside from the log ride theme, I thought last year was one of the best I have been to. And I've gone every year since 1991. CF is in the market to make money, and HAUNT is a cash cow. It makes no sense what you're saying at all. I think your source might just be wanting to stir up trouble.

I agree! You know what the mountain really needs. A really good log ride. Wait! F^@K!

I had this problem back in High School. But, with a little bit of concentration therapy, I was cured. The Doctor told me to think of Roseanne Barr naked, eating her way out of a silo of dead babies. Uuuuuhhhhhggggggg! Still works. Guy "We need a throw up emoticon." Koepp

What ride designer built that transition? Satan? It looks pretty though. Great pictures!

I don't think so. If you look closely on either side of the station there are footers where it looks like the entrance and exit ramps will be. They just haven't built them yet. The exit side doesn't really need a ton of room. It just need to funnel the masses out of the station.

^I set the DVR!
