Here's a quick construction update from yesterday. http://www.coastercommunity.com/schlitterbahn-vacation-village-construction-tour2.html Black Knight slide pieces Pump screws Torrent River pump house

Does anyone know how many mag brakes Renegade has? I noticed today that Prowler has 8 before the train hits any friction brakes. It leads me to believe that a hauling of the ass will occur.

Both trains went on today. Testing could start any day now. http://prowler.worldsoffun.com/public/latest/index.cfm?gallery_directory=construction&startRow=1&maxRow=15

Surprising pacing.

Cookie Monster got fat.

That crane looks like it's for reach and not height.

The low areas are fenced off. That area that's open isn't going to hurt anyone.

This has probably been mentioned and it's possible that I mentioned it but SDC is the ruler of food land.

When in doubt put your kid in a headlock (1st row). And keep a close eye on your boobs, you might lose them (2nd row).

Looks like a much larger version of the final turn on Powder Keg.

Renegade's deadman has a nice pop on the exit half but this one looks much more pronounced.

I can't believe that he would have committed to a firm opening date any earlier than he did. I could be wrong though.

^ I rode it and it was hella rough.

There's going to be a season pass holder preview night May 1st. http://www.worldsoffun.com/public/news/blog/index.cfm?entry=c437434b-59b6-40a8-8e93-8d05e7d3f355

The speed looks very surprising. I'm even more anxious to see what Prowler looks like on it's test runs.

Triple down on Voyage.

They're saying the end of May or beginning of June. Always go with the later date.

You'll be able to pay for single day admission.

Europe seems to be perfecting the launch coaster idea. All of the 2009 installs look spectacular IMO.

Attractions were announced this morning. http://schlitterblogkc.blogspot.com/2009/03/schlitterbahn-kc-reveals-2009.html

That sounds like a great time to sell it. It's not going to worth as much if attendance sucks.

If the price was right it would be a no brainer for a company looking to reduce it's debt. I can only speak for WoF in this instance though and the land that it sits on can't be worth much. The only way that CF gets the kind of cash that it would want out of a deal like this is to sell it as a park.

Neither Valleyfair or WoF are in prime development spots anyway. They would almost have to be sold as parks.

It's weird to walk on because my mind thought that it should be level. I don't get why it's banked either.
