Yes and no on the EPCOT thing. Its really 2 parks, the front loop which focuses on communication and technology of "tomorrow", and the back loop which is the World Showcase, which is more of a highlight of countries. I understand why traditionalists would despise this idea. EPCOT was supposed...

http://www.ejinsight.com/20140801-unive ... in-zhuhai/ Universal Studios has reportedly signed a deal with the Zhuhai government to invest 150 billion yuan (US$24.29 billion) in a theme park in the city. The park, to be located in Doumen district, will cover 10 square kilometers, Chinese...

Re: BGW 2015 Premier Coaster Rumours. Once again Jarrett is the one who speaks reason! This is going to be BGW's boomerang. This is a "second tier" coaster that fills the "d-ticket" gap. I also think the capacity gripes are *slightly* overblown. The TEA attendance reports have them in the 2.5...

Re: Barclay's Premier League Just found out the cable company im switching too will be broadcasting every Premier League game this season! Picked a good time to pick up this soccer habit.

Re: Florida 2014: Day 0, The Journey Great pics so far. It sounds like you are going to SW again. If you are and want some American company feel free to PM. I have met a few CFers at SW this year.

http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/07/27/4 ... focus.html The latest threat to a disappearing forest — a planned apartment complex and strip mall anchored by a Walmart — is bringing new scrutiny to what might be an even bigger foe to the endangered land: a billion-dollar amusement park in the...

^Has Mack made a winged coaster before?

Re: Six Flags St. Louis to close Scooby-Doo Ghostblasters 9/ Maybe they take the story that the Australian park got, or tie it into the sure to be great Superman v Batman? #speculation

I'm down. My wife isn't popping out a kid so I should be able to pay attention in the second half. I would say drop the lowest score name changing idea. If you want to make it a competition throw in a $$$ value or something.

Re: Carowinds | Unknown 2015 I guess you consider a Mach family powered coaster a MAJOR coaster? :) I get that if you go from family area to coaster it will be different, I am not retarded, that's why I specifically said major coaster in my question/comment. Looks like they went from Saw...

Re: Carowinds | Unknown 2015 Has there been a bigger 180 in theming history between major coasters? From nascar racing to a roman theme.

First to say...with 5 rows of 4 (20 riders) capacity will blow...then again its Holiday World and 1 train on Voyage gets the job done. Otherwise, it looks like a fun little ride, and for $30 with free soda, 3 good woodies, and now this its a steal.

Re: Barclay's Premier League Thanks for the info all! I will watch a few games and see if anyone catches my fancy. I will admit with Tim Howard playing keeper for Everton they are an early front runner.

Re: Holiday World | Unknown | Unknown To Joey's point...you must have high standards. I have been on 2 good B&M Wing Riders. To Darren's point, I agree unless you are counting Skyrush as a Wing rider (its kinda a hybrid), which sits at my #1 overall. After that I have Gatekeeper at #19 on my...

The US will be broadcasting additional games for the Premier League, and I am looking to watch a better league than MLS. I ask you, the Coasterforce experts, which club should I support? :?: Also, if anybody has a way to watch games online please feel free to PM or share.

Standup to floorless = new cred??? :shock: cool) :?

^This feels like a PM :) I was referring to your comment "where the real money is". Maybe I misunderstood that reference but the public figures from at least these 2 parks show the majority (over 50%) of their revenue comes from admission and the rest is made up from a combo of in-park spend...

^Yes and no (in regards to in park spend). According to the 2013 annuals Six Flags made $602 million in admission and $448 in in park spend. Cedar Fair was at $647 in admissions and $356 in park.

Attendance down 8% YoY. Guess all you Brits didn't help out enough. Some great gems in the article including: But Wall Street isn't buying that argument, sending the stock on a Kingda Ka-sized sell-off. http://money.cnn.com/2014/07/21/investi ... index.html
