    Silver Dollar City | Time Traveler | Mack Looping Launched Spinner

    I'll have someone there. I will be back teaching by then so hard for me to get away during the week. I posted this on my blog, but the only real change since I was last at the park was they put up the supports for the exit bridge from the station.

    Because I was covering the other two parks in the state this past weekend and didn't get down to SDC. I'll be there Friday.

    Permit for Epcot's France has been filed

    The Tron coaster is supposed to go where Universe of Energy is currently, but themed to Guardians of the Galaxy. Epcot is going to go through a major "DCA upgrade" and numerous different projects will happen all over.

    Fun Spot Kissimmee | Mine Blower | Gravity Group woodie

    Well here's to hoping this GG coaster goes against the grain and won't ride like crap in a couple of years. I sure hope Fun Spot has the budget to maintain it.

    Rank the RMCs

    That would require going to Louisville. No thanks.

    Ah... but you need a crystal ball to predict if you'll get a ride on Outlaw Run like Lightning Rod. LR is a fun ride, I'll give you that. We'll see if it's still standing after the litigation against RMC concludes.

    Rank the RMCs

    When was the last time you rode them? Outlaw Run has different wheels this year and is running faster. It doesn't slow down until the final corkscrew (as has always been the case). Goliath tries to hard. The pacing is horrible. It doesn't allow you to process an element before slamming...

    Your worst spite

    Dutch Wonderland | Merlin's Mayhem | S&S Family Inverted Coaster

    What the heck are they waiting on? We are 20 days from July 4th - the official "middle" of Summer in the States.

    Have to remember I'm spoiled. I have Outlaw Run in my backyard and get to take it for a spin about once a month. Few coasters are as intense and fast as OR. That coaster doesn't slow down until the very end - and even then it still has speed going into the final brakes.

    Silver Dollar City | Time Traveler | Mack Looping Launched Spinner

    I don't think they said "world's first" though so it could still be the first launched inverting spinner in the States. Besides let's be honest - do you think anyone over here in the States cares about a coaster in Asia? No. No they don't. o_O
