According to this article the proposed expansion would take 15-20 years to complete. Also, they have a master plan showing off where the coaster would go along with the other rides in the expansion.

For those who havn't heard, Demon Drop will be moved to Knott's Berry Farm next year. Its on page two. http://www.buenapark.com/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=1409 So get your final rides in! Unfortunately I didn't go on Demon Drop when I went to Cedar Point last year and i'm regretting it now. But maybe this will give us an idea of where they will expand in the future.

Nope, that was painted this year along with the "Six Flags" on the side of Sky Trek. And how havn't I been on Terror Twister yet? I love techno and combining it with a ride is awesome! Did Raging Bull not open when the park opened?

^^^^Now that is just hilarious!!! There is so much at Fright Fest that i've never done. I havn't gone to any of the haunted houses, havn't seen Love at First Fright, and havn't been on Terror Twister. What is wrong with me? Now I really can't wait to see you guys again!

That mini-golf course totally looks like it was built in someone's attic or in their backyard. Very cool! Patrick "mini-golf enthusiast" Jeffers

Only 5 year olds can play lazer tag? What? No matter how cheesy these attractions are, it looks like you guys had a great time!

I simply cannot say how awesome all of this art is. I know it takes you guys so long to do it, but you put so many details into each park you draw. Great job!

1) The file size 483,306 kb 2) The file type wmv 3) Is the file getting uploaded 100% before the page directs I'm pretty sure it does, but the video takes over an hour to upload so I can't be sure. When I came back it was on the CoasterTube homepage. The video is 8 minutes long but I have uploaded 4 minute long videos that are half as big and those work. When I go to the video after it has "uploaded" all I get is a white screen.

Well I ordered a TPR hoodie a while back and just last week the zipper broke But up until that point I wore my hoodie everywhere! They are simply awesome and everyone should get one. I guess I'll have to order another one either now or some other time.

Does anyone else think that it's kind of a ripoff to pay to get in the park AND pay for haunted houses and mazes? I can see why they're doing it though, to make money. But I stll think it should be included with your admission.

Random thing: According to a Twitter update, the train is running during Fright Fest. Not sure if it is haunted up or not.

Oh man does this place bring back some great memories! Growing up, my parents would sometimes talk us on surprise trips to Bay Beach and we would have a blast going on all of the rides like the train and the giant slide. I think it's fair to say that Bay Beach may be the Kiddieland of Wisconsin and these new additions can only improve the place.

Then you wouldn't be funny. LMAO! // Thinks he has his moments but is way overrated I agree. Question: What mazes and scare zones does Great America usually have for Fright Fest? Didn't you have to pay extra for a couple mazes last year?

So THATS where the other side of tape was! I thought it only had one! Were you really wondering that or just saying that?

15/20 Lot of guesses, but not that bad.

What the hell is this, fog or smoke?

I went to Kiddieland on Saturday and it really was a great family park. It will be sad to see the place go leaving Great America as the only big park in the area. Little Dipper was actually my 50th coaster! I knew Griffin had picked up the treasure hunt card, but I double checked and found that the other side to the sticky tape was still there. Very nice report Big Mike!

Got back from a trip to Kiddieland and got some maps to trade. If you didn't know, Kiddieland is closing this year so you won't be able to get your hands on these maps anymore.

Where was the gold shirt Big Mike? Glad to hear that the SFGAm trip report is next!

^What they said. As for a meetup on closing day, i'm pretty sure I can come. I'm also going with some of my friends on the 30th so it should be a fun weekend!

Done. Wow, i've emailed Dan 3 times today! How does he deal with it? *EDIT* Now i've emailed him 4 times

I'm guessing it's for Fright Fest like last year when the sign was out.

Wait, Sky Trek Tower is being repainted? Anyone have any pictures of it?

First off, apologies to everyone I started a trade with within the last month. I've ben very busy with school but i'll try and reply to you guys ASAP.
