Screamscape rumor of coaster removal

And what view? I dunno, I've seen much better lakeshore views before, so I'm not sure exactly how I'm missing anything.

Any kind of view onto any kind of lake is beautiful.

And, just so we're clear, Tim... franchise eateries are bad, but a giant metal box is good? ;)

Personally I don't mind big metal boxes if done correctly. I have to admit, the rendering for Disaster Transport looked pretty sweet. But, the execution of that plan was something entirely different.

I'm all for removing the box because I think the ride actually looked way better "naked". I'm just saying the removal of the box isn't really going to create any "stunning views" or anything. That corner of the midway needs a LOT of work after they upgraded the games section and put in maXair. So, it can't really go anywhere but up.

Refurb Space Spiral and the food stands immediately surrounding it, add some more landscaping, put in a Lightning Racer type woodie where ID and the stadium are, rip out the midway and make it wood, consolidate the flats and make the entire area really exciting with lots of stuff going on. That's what I'd do.

How about this: an indoor wild mouse or sierra sidewinder type ride. what is currently 2 different ride experiences merged into one ride.

I just watched some YouTube videos of each and honestly, I wasn't too impressed.

I'd prefer the Wild Cat to the Wild Mouse. It just didn't look to offer anymore thrill.

Maybe it's just me, but a spinning coaster doesn't really look interesting. But then again, that's just one man's opinion...

The one at MoA was fun.

OMG!!11!!one!!! Look what coastal erosion did to Disaster Transport! :)

LOL!

I can post a pretty picture too. But that doesn't mean it will miraculously appear when/if Disaster Transport is torn down.

It magically appears when I look outside though. :)

But Tim, that picture you posted isn't taken from the shore of CP. ;)

...And Lake Erie isn't that color.

Neither is the one that Ryan posted. Hence my point. :)

Yeah, thanks Lt. Obvious. :)

But mine was taken from the beautiful shores of Lake Erie on CP! See, that is Kinzel's house.

Can't be - no helicopter pad.

Because I like making things look cool :)

Big thanks to djDaemon for compiling the data.

Nice work, Mark.

As you can imagine, I'm an engineer, not a designer. :)

Edited because for some reason my code didn't work :-P

but apparently not up on your bbs code.

^ No doubt. I have no clue why I had to edit it twice to enter the same thing I entered the first time... or so I thought.

Did you forget the second " in your [url = "address" ].

I've noticed that is usually the biggest cause of issues.

I don't think so... But obviously, I must've done something wrong. As problematic as code can be, it's usually at least reasonably consistent :)
