ginzo Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Americans are also complete wimps about food. Andrew Zimmern makes a very nice living eating foods on TV that are completely normal around the world, but seem strange to squeamish Americans.

ernierocker Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 ^Yes. Really guys, it is probably best that we move the topic of conversation back to SFMM. There is plenty going on at the park right now to discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Any further post on this completely stupid topic and the post will be deleted and the user banned forever. Â Seriously, enough stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonlva Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Anyone remember back when they were going to announce a new ride (eventually Tastu) they tempted us with Mr.six peaking in and out of a curtain with the days counting down? Â Anyway, since they are doing the clearing this early, how long till we start to see wooden stick/spray painted cement markings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 On topic: Thrill Shot is getting removed, possibly for that Strata Wooden Looping Aqua-Trax getting built?

bostonlva Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Also, shouldn't SFMM update their website?, The map online still shows Log Jammer and Vu. It could confuse some of the GP who have not kept up with the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckaroo234 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 wow. in one night this thread went from a complicated ball joke from me into insanity. Im sorry Robb. Â I still hold that we need a intamin multi-launch, cheetah hunt-esque. And since its SFMM, it needs a tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 ^ If they are truly removing the metro track, there is already a tunnel. Just sayin'. Â I think an Intamin Multi-Launcher that would essentially follow the path of the old Metro track (with some elements of course) would be beyond awesome.

buckaroo234 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 call it iceman! Â (for those younger readers, watch the movie Top Gun, it has a Maverick, Iceman, and theres even a gertrude shoutout!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ728 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 ^Using some imagination, there is plenty of space for a turnaround in the old Spin Out and abandoned lower Dragon station. Â Personally, I'm skepitcal about them ever using that tunnel again, but I'll certainly applaud them if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I never knew it was blue? Same; I didn't know Freefall was once so pretty! Â And yes, tunnels are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 It would be like the Revolution tunnel but at least 100 times better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
