As far as theming goes for Cedar Fair, it wasn't bad. The entrance area is a victory circle type space with a checkerboard pattern floor and Earnhardt's #3 car opposite the entrance. The gift shop is called victory lane, of course, and the photo place is called Photo Finish. All around you...

^ It is strange, although that was existing. You'd think it wouldn't be hard to work around that, but it looks to me like they pulled the station/brakes complex out of Behemoth and dropped it here. So I don't really know-- that is an odd issue they have there. There's still a little but of...

As I rank the ones I've ridden: Behemoth Intimidator Goliath (slightly behind) Apollo's Chariot I'm part way through the writeup now, although I'm done for tonight since it was an early morning heading up there. Will get back to work on that tomorrow. Until then, here's a shot we...

Made it back from media day-- now it's just a matter of getting all these pictures and stuff organized. In the next day or two I should have a review, photo gallery, and some other stuff up here. In short, though, it was a lot of fun. Nice floating airtime. It was particularly strong as...

Thanks for the questions everyone. The interview has been postponed since we encountered some... snow... on our trip and the park closed a few hours into the day. But once that interview happens, we'll have a new page up here for you all to read that. In the meantime, I have some photos and...

New Park Guide: Kemah Boardwalk www.coasterforce.com/kemah_boardwalk

This is the same sort of thing I did with Texas Giant, but I'll be at the media day on the 26th, so if you have any questions you'd like me to try and get answered, post them here and I'll add them to my list of things to ask. Thanks!

Hey everybody, This Saturday, I have a phone interview with Mike Sossamon, the Director of Maintenance at Six Flags over Texas. We'll be discussing the transformation of Texas Giant and hopefully getting into the finer points about all the changes going on with the ride. If you guys have...

It's pretty exciting. I watched her make a few laps today. Unfortunately a school thing kept me from getting a chance, which was kind of disappointing, but it looks like Allison did a good job. And I suppose my interest is slightly more vested in this too as she asked me to come along with...

The only reason I'm interested in that sort of thing is that it usually comes with making friends & connections in the industry (and also a lot of rides!). I enjoyed Goliath's media day because I was able to make some friends with SF people and meet Mr. Bolliger. I was in the 2nd train out...

^ When are you planning on hitting up Lake Winnie? It's not much, but the wooden coaster is pretty ok. Anticipated park: Six Flags Fiesta Texas (in 2 weeks) Coaster: Boardwalk Bullet, most likely. Interested to see if it meets the hype.

I guess as more reports come out, we'll find out the right story. Seems like a lot of these early reports tend to jump the gun on stuff. Really is unfortunate for everyone involved. Thoughts go out to everyone involved.

Joey, where are you finding this? Would like to read about that. If I can, I'll try and talk to some of the people that work in the stadium and see if they know anything more about what's going on. Either way, like you said, hopefully many didn't have to see it.

^ Well there's 9 of them, and it wasn't the big one as it wouldn't have been out during that time. It really is a shame, though. I've been trying to find out her name as I know a few of the trainers down there and I would hate for it to be somebody I knew. I suppose this is the risk that...

Alright, get back in topic now. No need to prolong arguments if they can end themselves naturally. If you want to say more, then do it on PMs. I'll delete further posts if they aren't on topic.

^ And they're running them again right now. I've been watching on webcam for a little bit. Good to see them getting all their cycles in.

If anybody's interested, they're cycling 3 trains right now: http://66.193.7.116/view/index.shtml Kind of interesting to see them all running now.

Could just be a recolored generic rendering image from S&S. There's only 5 cars in the image when the Dinosaur Park ride will have 6 according to the press release. It's likely it'll be the same type of layout, but it's not out of the question to be something different.

That's my blog. :P So yeah.. I had just posted it here after I wrote it without a link since I didn't want to make it a blatant advertisement on CF! I sent it in to screamscape last week.
