That was probably rather "cheap" of me to do as I doubt too many on here have actually been in the old robbery cabin.  It was a pretty nice outfit they had going there before they gutted it when they moved on further out on the course.

Good Luck with this one -- as I am not sure how many of you have actually seen this with your own two eyes before.   Some of the names should be familiar to you though.

Yeah, because you know DW's usual visitor is going to be able to do all of that.
Doesn't seem very "ADA friendly" to me and more of a liability risk then I would take if I owned a park, but whatever.

On top of the restaurant with the water feature in the seating area across from the Candle Shop & Mill

Perhaps CC should get GL's old Sky Cabin.
It is for sale on eBay

Looks like they are getting rid of all the old footers for the rope towers and the other rides thus far.  I have a feeling the area is going to be completely whiped clean and I doubt the overhead water feature returns.  I'm almost curious if the corkscrew passage will remain or if the route is re-routed somewhere.

Well it would also fall into the "we will add something in 2009 that you Coaster Enthusiasts should enjoy" category.  He didn't say to which park when he said that last year at Coaster Christmas

Well the Laser has been sold... I wonder to whom.
Wouldn't you just die if we are correct and HFEC bought it.

It might work over there if they take out the extended outdoor queue for WildFire and put it there.  They never use that queue anyway, so that might work.

Dollywood Discussion / Re: What happened to Thunder Express?

« on: July 21, 2008, 11:14:52 PM »

Well Thunder Express was "used" when Dollywood got it.  It came from SFStL as the second side of River King Mine Train.  It is now at Magic Springs in Arkansas and is now known as Big Bad John

It looks like they are being stored either back by the Grand Expo or over across the street from those pictures.

^Close, but no.  Thunderhawk is a TopSpin from Huss where both arms of the ride move the same direction at the sametime.  That ride also flips -- a lot.  The Mondial Supernova has two separate moving arms and the ride never flips upside down, but it does get into some funky angles (up to 80* or 90*)

Regarding "Empedocles' discoveries" - he was the one who discovered the four elements of nature. Earth, Wind, Water and Fire.

I'm curious too.  I life farther away from the park then some of you guys.  Get down there and get an update for us -- yes I am talking to you Copper and the Doctor among others.

I have a feeling that the tour bus groups will eat this up and that it will be included with their package ticket.  The older folks are going to love this as it will give them something to do other than watch people ride.

I wonder if my "mothers" would like to do this when they come down with me and my wife for Old Time Christmas... I might have to ask them.
