Cool RJ. I miss working a coaster.

I had it confirmed that it is indeed 2.6 million more rides given at the park last season than the previous year.

Thanks to everyone for the awesome updates. I wish I could've joined you, but that awful thing called work got in the way. At least I'll be there in less than 2 weeks now.

Is the TeePee going to be totally removed by opening day?

Did they explain what exactly they mean by rerides are allowed when applicable?

Oh yeah, and Rolling Thunder is MY ride!!!

Hello all ... Well I am feeling better but still

that I missed the tour. I had to have my wisdom teeth removed

. SO I am swollen and hopeful to get the recovery done by 4/5 .

We are getting our passes on opening day since we get our passes from the master card program. My question is my sister just got her pass in the mail and was going to process it but wanted to know what the RCM on the passes ment ?? Anyone know ??

Great photos guys .

That's pretty much the last day of the Super Tepee.
The crane was parked by Runaway train to remove it.
You can see the red crane in this pic

Very good news on all fronts except one, hearing about the Tee Pee. Guys, the TP has been a part of the park since the beginning. I have fond memories of it going back to my first trip there as a kid back on opening day 1974. Hearing about it's demise is like hearing about the death of a close friend, it hits right here

. The park will never feel quite right without it. The TP will always be in my heart (and pics on my pc).

PEACE THROUGH POWER!!!!!

Thank you Tom.

Ahh, they clearly stole the new slogan from me!

Clearly the best.

Awesome tour as always! Angel, always the best to all of us, as well as Mark Kane!
Cant wait to ride this bad boy, definitely a different experience than the past few we have gotten.

Ogolo · « **Reply #43 on:** March 29, 2008, 09:53:47 AM »

Tom...That video is much better.
(FYI The Hi-Res version did not work at all.)
And again the black cat gets his dues.

PcMan · « **Reply #44 on:** March 29, 2008, 11:30:33 AM »

Black cat is cool he was like a statue
The high bandwidth version takes a long time to buffer/download ( i corrected it )
i think its from using the 8mp photos (the video was 320mb compared to around 21mb for the above Low version I listed )
I have to decrease the photo sizes down to 1024x768

the high version quality looks great in full screen even on my New 22' windscreen monitor (i have a fast 16/2 cable connection and it take about 20 minutes )
Low version www.techhi.net/dark3/low.htm is in Flash high version www.techhi.net/dark3/high.htm in WMV use full screen

i tried visual communicator 3 from adobe (its what world coaster news uses )

its like a TV studio you can overlay Live video with a blue/green screen background etc.

they have a 30 day free trial
