^ It's a shame when you consider how great a ride it once was. -James Dillaman

I think they've already started, they need to prime it before final coating, hoping that's the primer, although I thought red was one of the colors of Firehawk (Does Cedar Fair build coasters any other color?) -James Dillaman

^ I saw the pictures, it's awesome. The Country his camera's in doesn't allow uploading, tho, or else we would put them up on here. The rocket trip there was cool, and seeing teh earth was good.

^ Yeah... sarcasm. " " -James Dillaman

^ If you like this ride, you would definitely NOT want Cedar Fair to purchase it, as they cannot take care of newer woodies, let alone a classic woodie. Plus they'd put seatbelts and, if they could, OTSR's on it. Leave it be and hope Couch reopens it sometime in the future. That's the best you can hope for. -James Dillaman

Chuck, it would really stink if you had a tragic accident where you either burned off that fingerprint or lost the finger, then you'd have to pay for admission every time, wouldn't you? -James Dillaman

As for the drop in capacity issue, just FYI, I've never known SoB to run 3 trains, EVER. I might be wrong, but the entire time I worked there, they never ran more than 2 trains. -james dillaman

Great airtime, classic out and back layout, and good trains all made for one of my favorite woodies of all time. This ride will never move to Kings Island, especially as Jim Couch doesn't is under pressure to keep the ride from being taken out. It's going to be the centerpiece of his new RV park where LeSourdsville Lake once stood. -James Dillaman

^ LOL Yeah, I was only joking. I've seen the shows in Chicago, Vegas, and two touring shows. Also went to music school with a drummer in the vegas show, got to go backstage and meet everybody. Does anyone have tickets to opening night in Orlando by chance? -James Dillaman

The local news said "around 20" people have reported being ill since the park opened. 20 out of more than 3,000 people isn't a large amount, in fact it's like 0.6%,isn't it? (I don't know math very well, but I'm sure if I'm wrong someone will correct me) And that is if all 20 people got sick in one weekend, which didn't happen. This is probably in the 0.05% range or below of people going there who got sick. I don't think it's a big deal. Newspapers and local channels are always trying to find the next big exposé-type story. Don't put too much into it, as everything has been tested and appears to be fine. -James Dillaman

Are they blue... everywhere?

Bring the Pain -James Dillaman

^ Or maybe women who just want to swim without guys trying to brush up against them in the pool... maybe so many young girls in the UK get pregnant from too many co-ed swimming sessions, and they're trying to solve the problem.

Yeah, I'd expect you to say that Barry, being "the man" and all. I think it's fine, as long as there's a viewing room with one way glass for the guys. In fact if that's the case, I strongly SUPPORT women only in the pool during that time. -James "j/k, so don't hate" Dillaman

They better use Royksopp in the show, that's all I'm saying, because that MAKES the airport ad. -James Dillaman

nope. Mythbusters tackled that one. Around here they even took off the "Don't use cell phone" signs on all the gas pumps after the show aired. -James Dillaman

Also liked King Cobra... Something in the video looked odd to me, though. Can't put a finger on it.... Oh yeah, there's TREES in the park!! WTF? -James Dillaman

too bad GL is closing, huh? I kinda liked that park... -James "sarcasm is a foreign language to some" Dillaman

^ It is official, yes. This thread is not pointless. It was announced at Eastcoaster I believe... -James Dillaman

I don't know how this will fit in at the themepark, as cornhole is usually played around here in bars. (I live in Cincinnati). Much like other bar games, it's best played while stumbling over drunk, so playing it sober is kind of a let down. -James Dillaman

^ Hopefully they'll run all the trains... How many times have you seen all the trains running on TTD?

Mine for the time being... yeah, REAL mac user... not a wannabe.

Isn't Maverick's drop over-vertical, like the euro-fighters? By that logic, a eurofighter isn't unique either, so I guess it must be a prototype ride... --- because screamscape is never wrong. James Dillaman

Some shots taken by my fiance, Julia.

Changed the URL to one that works. Thanks for the messages. Hope the new one works... -James
