Thought some of the younger members on here might appreciate that. If you mail in a short essay on not doing drugs or something you and another person can go free on Monday, June 21st.

You know the Hydra Fighter 2 was removed last year. I only see one other reason to go.

Well, honestly, the Hydra Fighter II wasn't really a reason to go unless you just wanted the credit, which I did manage to get after it was open once in the three times I went... They have a great collection of slides there though, and put in a half pipe slide for this year.

Yeah, I saw that it was removed as well. We got coupons at school, along with a park map, and I thought, where did it go? Was it just too much for the park to maintain? I glad I got to ride it.

Anywho, I can't wait to get over there and try out the half-pipe slide!

Darn, if I wasn't getting a job this summer I would most likely do this. They're getting rid of Hydra Fighter? Last time I went (which was my only time I have gone) they had the area shot off and I didn't see any trains or anything. I would have liked to get the credit for my coaster record.

Hydra Fighter is still there, just not running. You can see it from the Highway. We travel by there often and it was not gone as of last weekend.

But, that doesn't mean it is never going to operate again. It was boring. Heck, look how long Busch Gardens kept Drachen Fire before removing it.

I think the park would have been better off with a water Coaster instead of the one they built.
