As for 2007...I can post this:

"look for many happy returns."

Happily accepting refunds on season passes to a park that's not putting in any new attractions....

I'll drink to that!!

Or could it be our long lost swings?

Or could it be....must...resist...urge...to...make...stupid...joke...about...hyp...

Ok, I won't even say it this time.

Hopefully Frenzoid will have a new home. It's still sitting out there in the boneyard.

Now Jarvis, you know your neighbors already complained about you putting up Wild Bull in your back yard. I don't think they will like Frenzoid too.

I'm still confused on why everyone thinks its a bad ride and its uncomfortable... I still find it quite entertaining and i've never been uncomfortable on it.

I wouldnt mind if they just tore the waterpark down. But that would kill the parks income.

^ I think with standups it all depends on how your built (your body).

For me I have bigger legs because I used to do a lot of weight lifting and squats. So for me the issue is my legs and that "certain guy area" are both very tight when on a B&M standup.

I rode it at C3 and never wanted to ride it again afterwards.

The restraints are just weird and not "guy friendly". Unless you weigh like 150lbs or something (and I don't and probably won't ever be 150lbs again, even after I lose the rest of my weight).

THANK-YOU! I would love a decent woodie! Exactly what they need...a GOOD re-ridable coaster (GCI please) :-D

If Valleyfair, Dorney, and Worlds of Fun all do well with their new GCI wooden coasters in the next few years, mayhaps CFEC will invest in one or 2 for some other parks in need of Good wood.

P.S., on a good note, even tho Dorney won't be getting their Proslide Tornado, they are adding a smaller slide structure. Everyone else seems to be adding something, I wonder about Carowinds as well.

I know...they are bringing back the Michael Jackson train.

MJ needed to sell some stuff to make up for one of his shopping sprees. :lol:

Well Wal Mart had a sell just for him. It was Boys pants half off!! :P :P

A little new news would be good. It's kind of boring these months.

Sounds more like a clue for the Phantom Flyers.....

I could see the park getting another Whirling Dervish but I certainly ain't gonna get worked up over the return of Frenzoid.

Until I hear some "rolling"......"spinning"......"looping" clues, I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope for a big surprise.
