Forget Frog Hopper it's all aobut the Snoopy Bounce testing. ;-)

Yeah, I saw Power Tower test today, and I'm pretty dang sure I saw something moving around Iron Dragon. It's so hard to tell on the cam, Iron Dragon looks like spaghetti. ;)

Great! Now everytime I see ID on the Funcam I'll think of spaghetti and get hungry! Thanks coasterguy, it's all your fault!:)
And I'm all for Frog Hopper testing action! Heck, forget Maverick on opening day, who's with me for the first riders of the season on Frog Hopper?!!:)

While you're over there, why not get Austria and Romania? They're like the bread on a Hungary sandwich! ;)

^^It wouldnt be a Turkey sandwich by any chance would it?;)

I actually prefer some Sir Rub A Dub Tubs testing action myself.

nevermind...

^ - I think Michael Jackson and R. Kelly are thinking the same thing.

^Now that is sick .... really funny, but sick.

Steak sounds good Josh. Too bad I've been trying to cut red meat out of my diet :(

Yeah, I haven't had much red meat lately at all. Either way, the analogy works.

By the way Bryan and Adam, all of that food is good as long as it's not fried in too much Greece.

Yeah, you'll want to fry in something with less fat like Italy or France.

This question doesn't go out to anyone in particular, but what is the big deal about ride testing?

CP will be opening on Opening Day, not any earlier or later, and all the rides will be tested and working. Why is there a concern or curiosity over what rides are testing? Why is the testing schedule interesting?

This will be CP's 137th Opening Day. I think they have everything worked out by now.

For me, living 9 hours away, its just exciting to get to see the park slowly coming back together. I love seeing them test, because it gets me pumped for my upcoming trip! It's not to check and see if they have everything worked out, its just fun to see them moving again after 6 months.

^^ Watch it, Pete. Some of the kiddies around here will bite your head off for a statement like that. I said the same thing a couple of pages ago and I think I made a few of them cry. ;-(

lol You're soo evil Josh!
Sure glad I'm not a kiddy anymore....otherwise I'd be crying too ::wipes tears from eyes inconspicuously:: :)

The only difference is that Pete asked a question nicely and didn't complain that people are asking what rides are testing.

For me I know all the rides get tested every off season, but it is still intersting to see when certain rides get tested.

I'm fascinated by anything mechanical.

I love knowing that the rides were in pieces and now they're not. The rides are being put back together, in better condition than they were when taken apart, and they are now being tested.

And hopefully, there aren't any leftover pieces :)

I feel the same way, I love mechanical things, finding out how they work and how they go together.
