^ I think Skittles would be a better Choice. Shane, all of those different colors will really make the place "POP!" I can't imagine any kid, young or old, not being attracted to Cowabunga Bay because of all the color. I do have to say that my favorite color combo slide will be the Red, Orange, Yellow, Black, and White ones. - Sid

I think I've already told Shane how awesome that Cow in Boardshorts is! It Pwns! - Sid

I thought your photos looked great! That ride is sure looking sweet and I hope I can make it back to Ohio this summer! - Sid

Shane and Fellow TPR Members, I ran down to the Construction Site Saturday afternoon and snapped a bunch of Photos. There's not a whole lot to look at, but I think I covered it sufficiently. I posted the Photos in my Blog located here: Cowabunga Bay Construction Blog *Note* All Photos were taken Outside the Construction Fence. - Sid

That wood Cut Out would represent the Rider Safety Envelope.

Finally let the Cat out of the Bag Shane? It's about Time! We've only been discussing this over on the LagoonisFun.com Forums for a while now. I can't wait for In-N-Out and Cowabunga Bay! What a Combo! Oddly enough, those photos look just like the ones on LagoonisFun.com and the Cowabunga Bay Construction Blog...I wonder why? P.S. Shane, would you like a Copy of my Cowabunga Bay Logo on LiF? I think Mine Looks Better!

Thank You For all of Your Hard Work Shane! Keep it Coming! - Sid

Cliffhanger/Riptide is a Mondial Splashover, Psyclone a Mondial Revolution, and Shockwave a Mondial Top Scan. From what I have observed in video clips, Cliffhanger/Riptide operates much better than Cliffhanger at Lagoon, the only other Mondial Splashover in Operation. Lagoon's Cliffhanger is not Operated to it's Full Potential. Shockwave is also operated much better, for the most part, than Samurai at Lagoon, the only other Park Model Top Scan in North America. However, Cycle 6 on Samurai definitely pwnes any cycle on Shockwave.

If I remember correctly, the Nauta Bussink Giant Wheel went to Lagoon Park.

Stress Fractures in the Bogies/Wheel Housings?

I guessed that it was Deja Vu on the Holiblog days ago and I think it's a good possibility and would fit the park great!

No, S&S Opened Celebration Centre in Logan, Utah in 2006. -Sid

Having Operated and been a Supervisor on Rattlesnake Rapids at Lagoon, an Intamin River Rapids Ride, I highly doubt it would take 45 Minutes to Fill the Trough. RSR is 1/3 of a Mile long, drops 60ft, has three 256,000 Horsepower Pumps capable of pumping 106,000 Gallons a Minute, has a Capacity of 1.2 Million Gallons of Water, and can Fill Up to the correct Water Level in 5 Minutes. If a Boat/Raft gets stuck on a Weir (Pipe or Object that creates the Rapid), it is possible for the first surge of water to capsize a Boat/Raft. It's much safer to evacuate the ride than risk someone being injured. I also like the Rails in that Lake that keep the Boats elevated from the bottom of the trough. - Sid

Daniel, there is a Park Trains Yahoo Group, you may be able to find some help there. Here's a Link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/parktrains - Sid

At Least Fire Dragon isn't going anywhere. - Sid

Each Side of the Tower is an Independent Ride System, Only this "Side" or Ride System was affected by the cable break. I'm sure the park inspected the other Ride Systems/Cables before re opening the attraction. - Sid

That NL Video is actually Fire Dragon @ Lagoon as it has the Additional Trackway Curve in the Second Carousel. Here is a Video of the Doppel Looping in Question. Yoshi, It's Too bad Dorney doesn't run Laser as good as Lagoon Does. But still, it would be a shame if Laser was Removed. - Sid

Wow...didn't know she would be there. I'm just glad my office is insulated You are Damn Lucky it's Insulated Looty!

The Heart Breaker ride is just like this ride http://youtube.com/watch?v=jGeDaSMlnes but with a differant name ~Matthew The Heartbreaker ride is actually a Mondial........Heartbreaker. hahahaha Pretty Cool Fair to have a Mondial Top Scan, Shake, and Heartbreaker all in one place! Too Bad they don't have an Ultra Max too! Great Photo TR as well! I totally agree with TheRapidsNerd, Damn Cute Couple! Rawr!

I just want to point out that Huss changed their minnimun height requirement for their enterprise for the 2006 season. It changed from 48 to 54 inches. I work at Lake Compounce, and telling the kids that they were not tall enough, when they were the year before, was very difficult to deal with. I am not sure why Huss changed the height requirement. I find it interesting that the Centennial Screamer at Lagoon, which is a Huss Enterprise, has had an "Under 46" May Not Ride" Height Restriction since it was Installed in 1987. Then they are not compiling with Huss regulations. Do you have a copy of this supposed Safety Bulletin from Huss?

Or, it could be for Consistency within the Park.

Splat-O-Sphere is a Moser Spring Ride as Evidenced by the "Moser Rides" Tape.

^ I think the Spongebob Trains look pretty cool!

I think they will probably Finish with the Footers, Check Track Joints, and Tighten Up all the Bolts before they Put the Trains on the Track. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't Mount the Proximity Switches, Limit Switches, Run the Cables to the PLC, etc and Finish Wiring it Before the Trains Go On.
