Not sure what your wanting to see or hear. There isnt much to report on this time of year. Just an empty park with rides torn apart.

Wow, to finally see Maverick without a million people in line. A once in a lifetime opportunity!

Snake River Falls sure looks really different without water. That's for sure. Speaking of, very off topic, but how old is SRF?

Snake River falls is 14 years old and it debuted as the tallest wateride which I think it was?

I know people like the updates, but where's the need in just saying it's a long overdue update and not even comment on how cool the pictures are? Come on people.

I love seeing pics like this. They're things you don't see on a regular basis. When's the last time Mantis was painted? The lift looks like it's in some dire need of paint.

Brrrrrr. It looks cold in Ohio. :)

Mantis was painted for the 2003 season. It's current paint job is holding up a lot better than it's original.

Was it 2003 or 2004? Either way, it looks fine.

The pictures are nice. I wonder if that gem attraction on frontier trail actually made money this year. It was a neat concept at least, I guess.

Who hasn't? A true CP experience can't be done without stepping on that scale. :)

I agree with 100 percent about the pictures. I would love to see an offseason podcast of Tony & Tyler showing the park like this.

I've stepped on a scale once, and it was totally free. Not to mention the free shirt. :)

Gotta love Big Bash.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.
