Great America just posted this on Twitter. Anyone else thinking flash pass for Hurricane Harbor? Can't remember if Great America mentioned they were adding it this year.

Was behind on reading updates and just caught up, love all of those smaller parks you've been to Big Mike! I guess i'll have my lucky number be 11 for the contest.

I'm interested in helping out with this project too. I play Minecraft all the time and use World Edit a lot, really helps when making big things like this. Just PM me the server details and when you guys are on and i'll help out! By the way, 1 block in Minecraft is 1 meter, not 3.

Looks like V2 has some new blue seats! Too bad the same can't be said about the restraints. Link

^Yup, but that's because it was a giant project they hadn't tried before. They fixed most of the glitches though. In other news, Real Art has made an electronic drinking game for St. Patrick's Day. Full Article [vimeo] [/vimeo]

I'm very skeptical about the 4th ducky, but I thought i'd risk it to try and catch up with Brian. Is there a duck hidden in the shadows under the tent? Enhance!

I'm unsure of one of them, but lock me in with 4 ducks.

Pretty sure Intamin actually advised all parks to stop using the holding break and prevent structural damage, but I could be wrong.

Woops, didn't even remember that i've posted that before! You guys just have so many cliff hangers, i'm biting my nails in anticipation of your West Coast Bash report!

And this kind of behavior isn't going to get you an answer. Seriously, do you honestly think yelling and screaming is going make someone want to respond to you? Bummer that a person with a better attitude didn't win. EDIT: lol at Patrick and I responding at the same time! Second time that's happened in this thread too

Hey hey, calm down, they'll answer, just be patient.

This was my understanding as well. Even with that, the rides have not been in regular operation in a couple of years so there will still be a lot of work needed. Totally agree. Found a bit more information about maintaining the rides. Link Also while digging up old info, I found this video of Ed Hart saying it would cost around $3 million to retrack Twisted Twins and get new trains. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXNxoIciaME

25+ rides that all need a few years worth of maintenance to be caught up and allowed to open! That's at least a few million dollars right there. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought I remember Ed Hart saying in an interview that they were still maintaining rides even though the park was closed just in case it opened back up again.

I saw all the same ducks as Brian did, which is a bummer because I wanted to tie things up with him and get into first place next week!

Locked! Wondering which ducks people missed. Lock me in for 7 as well! Always knew you got on Jay Leno, but never knew the backstory behind it. Very cool Big Mike!

That station is dead sexy!

^Did they touch Dare Devil Dive at all to make room for X-Flight? I mean that's where the webcam is.

Looks like everyone was having fun at the little league world series! Lock me in with four ducks!

After riding the Timberliners on Wooden Warrior over the summer, I really hope that they get them running on Voyage this season or else it's just going to tear itself again. Glad to see Holiday World working so hard on that re-tracking though!

Ok, I can't tell. Are the Ro-Bros people in robot costumes or are they actually robots?

Yes, domination!! Fun playing against you Gumball, i'm already hooked on Ro-Bros. Also, while waiting for your turn, be sure to go to floor 7 and watch some of the lab videos, some of them are pretty funny. Lines are moving pretty fast, not many people on. Wonder what achievements you can get?

Locked and loaded.

Great report Big Mike! Haven't even heard of Cliff's until today. Lock me in with 3 Santa ducks!
