Goliath is straight bare metal and the Georgia Scorchers is chipping horrible. Mindbender is nearly rusty with a hint of green paint here and there. I grabbed a shot of Goliath while in line thiscis ridiculous. Lol even the crossbars are bare now.

They have been neglecting goliath since opening day!

They really do! That's not appealing at all and both Goliath and the Georgia Scorcher are at the very front of the park at the entrance. I must say I've forgotten how forceful Goliath is! Sheesh. From the helix to the end was crazy.

Well Ninja's errr Blue Hawk's paint job looks amazing. I grabbed a pic as the park closed. The Ninja sign is still up tho. Looks like one of the cars were sitting on the track as well.

You do know the straight bare metal is actually the color it has always been right?

I just got back to Charlotte a few hours ago. I'll be going back a few more times being the only ticket they were selling is the one that stays active until the end of September just with out the bring a friend benefits and free parking. Like a silver pass for 4 months. Just a dollar more than a regular day ticket apparently so why not.

Coasterbruh actually I did not. It's ugly lol . Well it still need a repaint. It's faded. lol

I also forgot to mention the new trains on Blue Hawk (Ninja) have the new OTSR such as on Banshee, Valravn and Carloina Cobra. Red and black.

Sorry guys and gals, I haven't had a chance to put together a game this year yet. I went from the flu to pneumonia, etc.. Still recovering but hope to get out of the house soon so I can work on something. Today is my first day on the computer in over a week. :)

Thanks for your patience!

NY Daily News disses on lack of amusement park safety regulations...

"...but there are also about 10 states — including Oregon, Washington and Tennessee — that have no state oversight, leaving inspections up to county governments or private inspectors. Six states — Nevada, Utah, South Dakota, Mississippi, Alabama and Wyoming — have no regulation at all.

And Florida, one of America’s amusement park capitals, exempts its three biggest parks — Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Busch Gardens — from accident reports and investigations..."
