Isn't there a park that named their flyers, the Phatom Flyers? Kennywood?

Scooby is still at the park via the Haunted Mansion. I couldn't see them changing it to something NICK.

Yes, the Flyers will be a great addition to the park.

The Flying Dutchman's Revenge...even though it is Spongebob related, it does share the name of one of the earliest rides in the park. For us old timers.

As far as I can remember, Kennywood doesn't have flyers. You might be thinking of Knoebels.

Out of all those new names the only ones i really like are:

Tommy's Take Off, Dora's Train & the Lazy Town Chopers.

The rest are a little funky.

Too bad they didn't list the other new park shows besides slime Time Live.

How can a ride that is the same has the one at PKI be the worst?

I was just about to comment on that. PKD also has the same thing.

Also if the park is going to make a rule where you can't snap or whatever it is people do then i would think our's would be the worst. Not that i'm saying that it is.

The original number of attractions was 21. The press release says over 20. You know how those PR people can be ;-)

Flyers can vary in how they're run. If you want some top notch Phylers, go to Knoebels. Get some snapping going and you're in Phyler Heaven.

Roller, J was saying the Flyers at Lake Compounce are the worst (the ones that were at Kennywood.)

Trust me, I've been on both, and Holiday World's are amazing compared to Lake Compounce's. The Lake Compounce flyers go so slow that they don't even swing any.
