Ok, it's not water proof, but water resitant (stainless steel or something) so it dosen't rust and break sending somebody flying off the ride.

You are crazy, Delirium only takes up a third of the King Cobra sitem KC went almost un against Son Of Beast. They wouldn't have to remove the Dodgems.

My mistake, it takes up HALF the area King Kobra took up. Still, an enormous amount of room, more than what's available in the middle of County Fair. Remember, if you drop this ride right in the middle of County Fair, you still have to be able to get to Thunder Road and the Action F/X theater. This afternoon I am going to take measurements of County Fair (it's Thurs. June 24th), so if you see some crazy guy with a tape measure walking around County Fair, that's me. I am going to disprove this rumor if it's the last thing I do! "insert evil laugh here"

Although it's last minute notice, if anyone is interested at meeting at the park this evening for a couple hours, we might be able to get some good rides in. Either PM me or leave one here, I'll check periodically during the day.

Well my "sources" told me about the titanic attraction but somehow that idea sunk. It was a big shock to everyone because it was such a massive feat and everyone thought it was unsinkable............but the new VP, Mr. Ima Ice Berg put an end to that.

Don't be dissing the Queen now! I'd hate for some of the posters to get their undies in a wad over somebody disrespecting the past history of the boat now. :rolleyes:

Hey....I really respect the Queen. It kept someone warm this past winter providing all that firewood. :lol:

I agree, we should give the Queen respect even though it is gone, ya'll wouldn't treat Vortex removal like this, and it is piece of crap.

^^I'll take Vortex any day over the Queen! I just said that because I knew it would get a stir out of a few sentimental folks like yourself. Let her ashes smolder in peace :P

It just kills me the lengths that some people went crazy over the bloody boat. I mean I hated to see it go but there was nothing we could do. I don't think we'll see the Vortex go anytime soon. There's other things in the park that if they were removed would tick me off more than the boat.

I have to agree, I wasn't too upset over the loss of the boat...I never rode the frickin' thing. I was more upset when we lost the Wild Bull and Whirling Dirvish, but we won't re-hatch that old egg :rolleyes:
