possibility for Paramount Parks in 2007
Some what of the same concept as the S&S Screaming Squirel. Honestly I hope PKI doesnt do something like this. Just another low capacity ride in all reality. Im hoping for an Intamin or B&M creation. Just my 2cents.

^ ^ ^ Wow that looks almost as exciting as watching paint dry or watching grass grow. I think we can count on PKI to do a little better than that.

^ ^ ^ I must completely agree with every single word you say and in 2007 I think we will se PKI unleash a monstorous steel creation. No it will not be a TTD clone, but I beleive something more like an Intamin or B&M monster.

Fearfest 2005
Can anyone else smell the Fear in the air or is that just the fake fog? All I know is the first screams of FearFest are this week and I cannot wait. Crazed Clowns, Scary Scarecrows, and Headless Horseman. I for one am ready for PKI to open back up and I am ready to see the eriee glow overtake the Efiel (Torture) Tower!

Kings Island to Overhaul Children's Area for 2006
I would love to see Nick Univ. to be a complete transformation of the area and for it to have the same feel as Seuss Landing or Toon Lagoon at IOA. Those are two amazing childrens areas and are probably also the most enjoyable for adults. If PKI can do something somewhat close to that Nick Univ. will be absolutely amazing.

Heres wishful thinking on my part. Extremely Wishful. Maybe Avatar will be a RoboCoaster

^ ^ ^ I completely agree about the Chance Aviator. It is more fun to look at than it is to ride. I almost fell asleep on the one in DollyWood. The control sticks honestly do nothing to your flight around in a circle. Big Snoozer.

Kings Island to Overhaul Children's Area for 2006
PKI has been on a roll lately with providing exceptional attractions and events. Does anyone really think this will be any different? We just need to have a little faith.

Another reasson I am glad to see HB Land go is because it offered very few rides for pre teens. My nephew was to tall to ride anything in HB Land, but he didnt want to ride any of the big thrill rides. So basicaly we rode IJ:ST, Thornberries, WWC, and a few others. Where as HB Land was completely off limits to him except for Scooby and the Rugrats. Atleast with Nick Universe there will be more attractions for him to ride.

Best drop on a coaster?
Toss up between Millie and TTD Although MR. Freeze at SixFlags Texas is pretty sweet, because of the top hat inverstion at the top.

Kings Island to Overhaul Children's Area for 2006
I said it once and Ill say it again, do we really have to wait till after WinterFest? Let the speculation begin on what type of coaster and attractions PKI will put in, but I have a good feeling about a spining mouse.

INTAMIN or B&M?
I love Intamin, but B&M all the way! The Hulk, Dueling Dragons, Raptor, Kumba, Nitro, Alpengeist, Montu, and Apollos Chariot. I dont know what more to say, but I have never been on a Beemer that wasnt absolutely amazing. The smoothness, the flow of the ride, and the sheer creativeness of the inversions and layouts. Beemers are almost like a religious experience. PKI needs a Beemer, but the also need a Giga from Intamin.

The took out the Eagles and are going to put in a Chance Aviator? The Aviator is a really impressive ride to watch, but the ride itself is quite lame. No matter what you do on the control sticks, not much happens to the vehicle. Unlike the Eagles. Oh well Nick Universe will still be awesome.

I cant beleive we have to wait until after WinterFest for the official annoucement. That is so long to wait, but I can handle it because we will have FearFest and WinterFest to tide us over untill then.

Nick Universe sounds absolutely amazing. Cant wait to see the SpongeBob area.

would it be possible to do this
I hope Six Flags as a company goes away and never comes back. They are the poster child for poor management, bad financial decisions, and poor maintence. They have ruined some vary nice parks and I hope they do not have the chance to ruin anymore.

What will Geauga Lake get in 07'?
Speaking about the height restrictions. I have always heard an interesting rumor that GL may do some tunneling, so their Hyper coaster would have a longer drop. The rumors usually talk about the tunnels adding an additional 30-50ft on the first drop. Kinda interesting rumor, but I would imagine it is nothing more since the land that the park sits on probably would not allow for a tunnel that deep. With the lake on property I imagine there is a lot of water underground.

What will Geauga Lake get in 07'?
GL has been trying to get a Hyper Coaster ever since the constructed XFlight and Dominator. The problem is that the city of Auroa will not clear the height restriction on the ride. GL sits in two different townships, because the sea world side was in a different township than the GL side. Hence they want to build the new Hyper on the Sea World side, but cant get the city to clear the project. Gotta love small town politics. P.S. GL is a great park and if you havent been, it is worth the trip.

Voyage
^ ^ ^ Red is my fav color. Every post I make is in Red. I agree T2 is rough just like every other Vekoma SLC out there. Serial Thriller at Geuaga Lake and the now defunct Hangman at Opryland were some of the worse. I pitty anyone that wore ear rings on those rides.
