^ From what I understand is that they are going to try to use them on Cheetah. But there is always hope that they will move the entire coaster to Valdosta.

They actually ran both sides of Superman in 2008 during WCB. Well, just not at the same time.

Another vote for Wild Beast. I am also in the Son of Beast group. I will never ride that coaster ever again.

The secret in riding the Beast is to ride it in a middle row of a car which is the non wheel seat. I think I am only one of a handful who still ranks it in the top 20. Yes, that is probably a bit crazy but we all have at least one or two strange choices in our top 20's right?

I really do love GCI and I especially love terrain coasters. With that said Prowler ranked #24 out of 83 coasters that I rated in this year's poll. Next to SFOT's Shockwave, Prowler was my most anticipated coaster to ride in 2009. I visited Worlds of Fun this past July where I rode the coaster a total of 6 times. Two rides were in the morning, while the other four were late in the afternoon. While I found to be a lot of fun, I still have to say that I was slightly disappointed in it. While it is true that the overall layout is a bit different than a conventinal GCI coaster, it still produces that familiar fast/smooth/out of control with a few short pops of air experience. For the record I ranked Prowler behind Kentucky Rumbler (8), Lightning Racers (12/13), Thunderhead (17), and Evil Knievel (18). Voyage gets my, "most improved coaster" award this year. In the last two polls it was in my lower 20's, but this year it jumped up to #7. Overall, Holiday World was my favorite park experience/visit I had all year. I am happy to see Boulder Dash (my all time favorite) and Ravine Flyer II (5) ranked so high. Those are simply amazing.

People need booze for this week, so yes I am working.

I heard of a possible rumor that they may actually be visiting it during the midwest trip.

^ I think that they also received one or two more trains this month. I believe another reason it is closed is that they have been testing them out.

He is talking about Worlds of Fun. If I had to choose, I would choose Six Flags St. Louis. I prefer the overall park in terms of rides and atmosphere. I found Six Flags St Louis to be one of the nicer SF parks.

Make sure that your restraint is on really tight. If it is not you tend to flop around a bit more in your seat which is not a very good experience.

Ryan King's would be my favorite one.

Amazon is having an amazing sale on seasons 1-5 for today only for either DVD or Blu Ray. Make sure you do not pass this up. http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/?tag=panandscathed-20

For me, Voyage was running a lot better this year than it did when I rode it in 2007. We rode it opening weekend and yes, it did rain a lot the night before. The coaster shot up about 25 places in my listing. Heck, Our rides on The Legend were also very good. Even with that said, Raven is still my favorite coaster in the park.

I just turned in my poll: Best 10 1. Boulder Dash 2. El Toro 3. Phoenix Favorite Steel Anywhere (Bizzaro/Superman ROS @ SFNE) 4. Ravine Flyer II 5. Raven 6. The Voyage 7. Kentucky Rumbler 8. Avalanche 9. Cornball Express 10. Hades Worst Five 1. Son of Beast 2. Wilde Beast 3. GhostRider 4. Texas Giant 5. Boardwalk Bullet

Busch Gardens Europe is one of my favorite parks in the country. However, my favorite wooden and steel coaster (Boulder Dash and Bizzaro) are located in your other option. So I would choose SFNE and Lake Compounce. You can always hit Quassy for and hour or two between the parks as well. I think they are getting a new family wooden coaster for next season if I am not mistaken.

I am getting excited. So far the rumors sound like that they have not changed the ride very much, which makes me very very happy. <--- Anyone know what building my avatar was taken in?

I will have to say that my visit to Wild Adventures was a much more positive one this year when compared to my visit two years ago. The employees certainly were a lot better, the park was cleaner, as well as they had pretty much every ride in the park open.

I am really looking foward to this, though they did throw away my Dragons into a dumpster.

Just to let everyone know, there is no releation between Tor and myself.

The Qbot at Dollywood is such a good deal.

I still rank Kumba in my top 3. Yes, its awesome at night. Plus it was running really well that day.

Today was opening day of the robo-coaster ride. Maybe that is why nobody mentioned anything about it yet.

Yes, you should buy them if you want to see everything.

I had an earlier version of the Walt Disney World book. It is pretty much exactly the same except Big Thunder was not built yet. Awesome stuff!
