"You do realize how hard it is to relocated a wooden coaster, right?"

This is true but its still cheaper than building one from scratch especially considering its already so close to SDC.

Actually probably not.  You'd have both deconstruction and reconstruction costs, not to mention transporting costs.  It would actually be cheaper to buy new materials and just use the same blue prints again.

When your passing game is that good, why run the ball?
Our issue was that we went away from passing down the field the 2nd half and that killed us (even though that's our bread and butter)

For the record, the Mizzou offense has yet to score a touch down in the 2nd half of a game against a Big XII opponent.

Very annoyed by the play calling that occurs during the 2nd half.  During the first half we air out the ball and run up and down the field as we please.  The 2nd half we stop doing that and instead give the ball to Washington who will at most get 1-2 yds or (more likely) lose 4 to 5 yds because he cannot run anyway but left-right and backwards.

Alexander only had 2 passes thrown to him the 2nd half.  Is that a good decision by the offensive coordinator?  I don't think so.  AND WTH was with Gabbert not running for the first down there near the end of the game.  Wide open, and instead he runs and throws it to a man triple teamed.

If anything, during the off season, Gabbert needs to work on NOT honing in on who he is going to pass it to the entire time.  It's pretty obvious who he is going to throw to as he never takes his eyes off that receiver. 

MU will be back next year, I just hope they can salvage what is left of the season and get 8 wins so they can go to a decent bowl game.

If anything goes there it will probably be Roaring Falls, but with a more turn-of-the-century theme that goes along with the GE

Swoosh, I thought the same thing, excellent place for the Diving Belle or Maybe the Gerstlauer could go there, Dollywood's crosses over a path???

That's not a bad idea, and it would look very ominous staring at you for across the lake.  The outside portion could cross over the railroad tracks to where the current employee parking is there near the back of the Red Gold Heritage Hall.  It would definitely cut down on a lot of outside themeing if you have it back there, because most of it would be back stage.  Also having it across the lake from the main park will make it look even bigger with the magic of forced perspective.  Me likes the possibilites.

According to Screamscape, we might be getting something after all in 2010 as we get leftovers from the cancelled waterpark at Stone Mountain

That's cheap and very do-able for my family.
It's a deal   

--Can you use your 20% Off Coupon on the purchas of the passes?
It doesn't say you can't on the coupon.  lol

Well I think moving all of the water stuff over to River Blast makes sense, and they could use the old Stump Water Fort there in Sawyer Landing as a place to shoot water and be shot at.  Makes sense to me. 

I think where Splash Harbor was is where Rube Dugan's Diving Bell v2.0 needs to go.

Well if they do end up moving all of the water cannons and stuff over to the River Battle area, they can make the Splash Harbor area into another kiddie ride area and can put the balloons and carousel from Sawyer Landing there and then add some of the rides from Celebration City there as well.

Whoever wins the North will have the priveledge of getting slaughtered by Texas at Cowboy Stadium, which will basically be a "home game" for Texas -- though MU has a large alumni base in Dallas/Fort Worth (2nd largest MU alumni association outside of Columbia)

Not sure if anyone has said this on here, but since River Battle is somewhat similar to Splash Harbor, they will be removing SH this winter, not sure if they will us any pieces from SH in the new ride.

Really?  They didn't rip out the one at DW when they added River Battle there.

I think that we'll come away from Boulder with a win -- personally I hope the Tigers blow out the Buffs since it's their HC and we (me, my wife and my parents) are in Denver right now and will be going to the game tomorrow in Boulder.  I would really like to have a lot to cheer about and would LOVE to see Folsom Field clear out as quickly as Faurot did last weekend.  (evil laugh)

Nope.  We thought about it, but decided against it.

We're headed to Boulder this weekend though.  Should be a fun trip regardless of the outcome of the game -- but I'm counting on my Tigers to get their first conference win come saturday.
