Well it appears Thrills is the place to be to see people...

FamousAmos - Josh I saw you at the park today, we were near the thrills gift shop. Yes I was that was me you were looking at. Good to see you at the park. I think the last time we talked was at winter warm up. (Also this will be terrible if that actually was not you....)

It was me.
I was just doing my rounds in the park like I do every day. I thought that was you, but I was not completely sure. I did see someone else from this site today too

Meanwhile, I'd like to add that at around 2pm there was no one in the park, but once the waterpark closed, it was like a swarm of people came in from nowhere, haha.

Question:

I was watching a new fury POV someone did, and I noticed a lot of blue tarps at the bottom of the drop on the right. Does anyone know what this is? I asked on Youtube and someone said they thought it was landscaping. I hope so, cuz the grass is still mostly DEAD under fury.

That is the new flats for next year under those tarps.

OH crap. LOL --- I'm sure this was mentioned on here, but I've been away from the forums for a while.

thanks

Maybe it's me, but yesterday or any rainy day seems to be the best time to ride Hurler. I rode it about 8x last night after the rain storm. Maybe it just runs better on saturated wood. It was greatly re-rideable and had quite a lengthy line to be a dead park. There was no head banging and I didn't need my back realigned lol.

Makes ya wonder what happen if someone put astroglide on the rails.

[RollerBee]

It is so funny that you brought this up - I was just watching a POV of Hurler that was recent, and the everything looked kind of wet, like it had just rained and the guy sounded like he was having a blast as he rode it. Here is his pov:

And another thing. Living not far from Kentucky Kingdom, I recently rode Thunder Run. I've ridden hurler several times over the years, even when it was new in the 90s, and I don't remember it being quite as fun as Thunder Run was.....I dunno, I haven't been on Hurler in a while. I didn't realize Thunder Run is actually 4 years older than Hurler.
