Gary is a suburb of Chicago. They have quite a large population base to pull from.
That being said, I agree: this'll never happen.
-
File this under "stupid question": when the show is running with the stage be visible or remain submerged just under water level? Just curious....
-
Parks announce opening days far in advance thinking "oh yeah, it'll be done...what can go wrong?" While I would assume that it's most likely I305 will indeed open as-scheduled there is always a chance is will not.

(I overheard one ride op on Scream mention something in their spiel about a "new and improved Batman The Ride" next year. which was interesting).
How else does Six Flags "improve" existing rides? Yup...flamethrowers and a soundtrack, lol.
-
^Strange thing, though, it was removed from RCDB before I had the chance to tell that to Duane(the webmaster)! I wonder how he knew?)
Duane is very, very well connected.

I think CP is planning something for Demon Drop's area. Why would you take out a ride and send it to another park? Does it not work well with the CP air? I know it was for sale but why not scrap it if you don't want it.
Remember the GCI that was supposed to go to Great America up in Santa Clara? Let's hope Cedar Fair lost the gift receipt, lol!
-
RCDB lists nothing. Perhaps the park's website has info? I clicked over to the English version and some of the links weren't working (or redirected back to non-English pages).
-
What is not clearly evident at first, when looking at those two pics, is that the large cement structure is the station, not the footing for the tower. What is being built allows for the water to flow under the loading platform.

Sorry to get away from the great news about the little dipper, but if Chang were to come to SFGAM, would it be the best ride in the park?
That is a question that'll never be answered.
-
Is this the world's first coaster to utilize TWO tire-driven lift hills?
(Yeah, a bit of a stretch, I know.)

Though the new promotional material I posted earlier doesnt refer to their being a 'World's First' element the newly updated 2010 page on the website does:
It does? Care to show me where?
-
I'm not sure but I think they use cranes.
-
It's looking incredibly similar to the Intamin spinner at Bakken...except Alton already has a spinner.
I'm stumped.
That was my intial thought too.
-
That rcdb listing has been there for well over a year and was based on a comment Shapiro made at an ACE event. Perhaps plans have changed since he said that?
-
-
No, no...you're both wrong. It's how people travel to Buffalo, NY.
(wait for it...)
-
I was just reading the press release on page 1...they refer to the ride as a "half-inverted" coaster. WTF?
-
The park may or may not get Chang, but a Glow in the Dark parade is coming next year
Chang isn't headed to the Windy City.
-
^ So what are you saying... dive machine?
Is that the only coaster that features a water splash? Is Matterhorn a Dive Machine?
-
Ah, but an announcement of a coaster with a splashdown ending would make a splash in the coaster world and (temporarily) end the battle for most coasters, giving CP the record.
-
Terminator is one of the top 2 wooden coasters on the west coast
I'd imagine Roar! has the second slot, with the two being the only ones worth mentioning? lol...
I know a lot of people who would rate SCBB's Giant Dipper above Roar.
-
If this ride is "record breaking," what is it going to break?
Easy. It'll be the --est coaster "...in the Carolinas" or "...in the South."
-
^That couldn't be more obvious
Is it? Are you sure you're not reading between the lines?
