So I went to season pass holders night last night... windseeker was not up and running as expected. The 2012 construction site was in the very early stages. The cool thing is that you can veiw the whole area from the top of drop zone. Any thoughts on whether or not a coaster can blanket a go cart track? cuz if not then a coaster seems unlikely. Wild Beast was running better than usual. Looks like the've worked on it a bit, and it had rained. Rain always helps. Who ever told me Vortex was running slow is insane. VERY fast last night. Don't care for the new train paint job. Kind of reminds me of Flight Decks Trains at KI now. Behemoth had ALL the trims working last night. Pretty Disapointing. Usually there is one hard one and the rest are off. Last night they were all on, but very soft. Not sure I'm overly excitted about this starlight thing.. It's cool and all but seeing all the tress straped in lights didn't sit well with me. I guess we will have to see. Topped of the night with a Baconator combo, and a double double from tims. It was a good day :)

Ha! Nah, I had just gotten home from a winning evening on the beach in Long Beach Island, NJ. Chegg, steaks on the grill, margaritas, Jimmy Buffet music,  laying on the beach looking up at the stary sky with the waves rolling in. Man, I wish I lived there. I didn't want to leave. One of those perfect nights.

Funny you say "I wish I lived there". I've lived here my whole life, minus 1 year, and I can't stand it LOL

ooohhhhhhhh...... my bad. Pretty much the same thing to me. lol

I'm getting mixed stories or this windseeker. I've heard this saturday, and I've heard huge problems are occuring and no timetable is even being thought of right now. Waiting game... It would be funny if my first windseeker ride was at Coaster Mania and not at wonderland.

BIG difference between Idaho and Iowa. I'd actually rather live in Iowa.

I wouldn't mind having a catch with Ray Liota. What this has to do with a flat ride in a foreign country I am not sure.

I have been there. I ran the bases, but didn't get to play catch with Ray Liota nor Kevin Costner. But it was cool to see!

Looks like that go cart track in the area of the 2012 project may be getting bulldozed. Not sure about that, but it`s the rumour.

They should build a flyer over top of it and then the coaster and go-karts can duel.

how sweet would it be if the flyer went under the go cart bridge... Can't do a flyer though we already have a SWEET flyer ;)

Nobody seems to have a good idea of what it is nor what direction it's traveling in. There was an old rumour of a floorless... but that's from years ago, before Behemoth. I think floorless concept is played out. Alot of people are guessing at something between maverick, and cheetah hunt, with Medieval Theming. But who really knows. Could be a Ferris wheel for all I know.

Canada's Wonderland is doing a good job keeping their mouths shut. Much better than BGW recently lol.

First word came out only a couple weeks ago. I`d imagion interest in the industry will be lower than at BGW, and Hershey just cuz it`s farther away.

I just thought of something. I don't recall there being a drop ride at your park.
