I would not be suprised to see KD & Carowinds get hypers in 2010. I pray the Carowinds hyper is a B&M though. -

It was taken on Thunder Road. The track is in the parking lot beside it. FSS will be removed once the waterpark has closed for the season. -

I really hope thats false about Goldrusher. If its true thats one more bad thing CF has done to Carowinds on top of a long list of others. Yes Goldrusher is in the pland but those plans could have been drawn up 6 months ago but i honestly don't think its going anywhere. Another crazy rumor i heard was that Wild Thornberry's will be removed after 2009 and CF plans to open that area up by also takeing out the picnic shelters and that will be the home of the Hyper. Funny thing is if its true the long runner joke about the hyper under the bridge just might come true. -
Favorite orlando park and why
QueenCityBoy replied to olly4coastersUK's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I crave Magic Kingdom every day. Its the only park out of the 30+ that i have visited that i feel like i'm in a "Magical" place and everything is perfect in life. Suprisingly my favorite ride is there as well. Haunted Mansion. -

Hey! Maybe ACE should buy some to go in the "Museum" that will never be built. -

Look at his past auctions and you'll see the idiots that paid hundreds for park signs and banners. Maybe Disney banners but LOL at SF banners. I'm going to take a picture of some old rusted nuts & bolts and list them on ebay and say they came off Thunderhead. If he can make $10 on nuts & bolts then why can't i? -

The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
QueenCityBoy replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Sounds like the Peter Pan attraction at MK but on coaster track. I don't see this going all that fast. Maybe under 10mph. Its going to be for kids. Basically i think it will be an inverted Dark ride where you go through different rooms and see monsters at work makeing kids in bed laugh. Im sure this will be a very popular ride and WDI never lets me down it what they create but this will not be anything more than a kiddie coaster and if they want you to acually see the rooms then the ride could not possible go more than 10mph. -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread

Its just a matter of months or maybe even days now until SF goes under. Their stock is now at a horrific 59 cents. Yesterday at 72 cents and the day before yesterday it was at 85 cents. The ship is sinking. Its just a matter of when. -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
QueenCityBoy replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
These are the biggest rumors i have heard in the last year Magic Kingdom will receive two new parades in 2009. Parade Of Dreams from Disneyland & Fantillusions from Disneyland Paris. The rumor was originally 2010 but decided to go earlier. This is also why the Liberty Square bridge will be down. They need to beef up the bridge to hold some of the new floats which are larger & heaver than the current running parade floats. Now the two parades could still be pushed back till 2010 but most likely it will be 2009 since the bridge is already going under construction. It was also rumored that Illuminations at Epcot would be completely re-worked in 2010 with a lot more fire, water effects & lasers but that might have been moved up along with the parades but could be 2010. Also a small rumor has also started working its way around that Animal Kingdom will receive a new Parade in 2011 or 2012 OR will just receive new floats to represent the Beastly Kingdom area. If & when Beastly Kingdom is built Festival of the Lion King will make its home in Africa in a new theatre. The train to Planet Watch will be removed to expand the park and make it a walking trail to Planet Watch. This will also make room for the new Lion King Theatre. -

Heck, atleast KD is getting some flat ride love even if they are old. Carowinds needs some love too but we'll wait for new flats. -

I'd be suprised if they didn't sell the parks to eliminate some of that debt. -

TR was never as rough as Hurler. TR was always somewhat smooth. -

I doubt they will scrap them. I'm sure they will find someone to buy the parks.
