Update - 5/20

You can't. I know of 1 person who has changed their name, anyone know who this is?

Gemini...;)

The only thing that would stop me from changing my name would be the fact that I would have to clear my post count. With only 7 post, that shouldn't be a worry.

Who cares about postcounts anyway? Frankly once I roll over 2000 I'm going to feel even more like a loser. :P

In some of those pictures it looks like they are building a new river ;)

Here's the really surreal part. I think that might have been me. What were the ages in this group?

I didn't turn around to look. But it would have been when the train was pulling into the Frontiertown station at 2:15 p.m.

The girl freind and I were on that train! We froze the entire afternoon!

Just anounced on the webcast by Dick kinzel, "New coaster anouncement will come in late august".

Where did you see that at Grady?

They had a conferance call that was brodcast live over the net. They will have a copy of the whole call available by 4pm on www.cedarfair.com

It was part of the conference call related to the purchase of the Paramount Parks. (I guess, I didn't listen. I'm going to try and catch it later when they have it available.)

Late August... that's about when I figured it'd be announced.

If you look at thepointol web site there is a pic that pretty much sums this coaster up....

A mega looper. (I wont post the link)

And which picture would that be?

Well go to their update and it should be pretty clear.

Are you talking about that really curved piece of track? Cause it could still be for something else besides an inversion if that's what you're thinking.

Nope, I was there over the weekend and saw that piece of track first hand - it is definitly a looper.

I just drove through the park this morning. It looks as though there are pipes coming out of many more of the footings. Other than that, it all looks about the same.

Those actually are probably pvc conduits through which either electrical wires or possibly a hydraulic/pneumatic hose would run through. Just my best guess being an engineer though.

OK, this was already discussed and those pieces of conduit are not attached to the footer. They are placed over a bolt to mark where that footer is so that truck drivers don't hit them.

What part of the standard-issue Intamin track gave it away?

I see some very twisted pieces but am not drawing any conclusions yet because I don't want to get my hopes up and be let down. I'm just keeping it a surprise for myself.
