Haunt Thoughts 2013
Actually, Busch gardens Tampa has a haunt similar to this called "Alone". If you pay the fee you can walk through the haunt completely alone or with your group. And somewhere near the end I believe, they separate you. There is a video on you tube....It was a pocket video, so its not too good but you could hear the show....sounds kind of intense. I think Knotts has one...I cant be certain, but I like the idea of the more intense attraction.

How accurate are the wait time signs?
And it was blistering hot!

Heck, by 2pm the whole park was an Action Zone. Just thinking.....has a park every revamped a section and renamed all of the rides in that section? The fact the new coaster indicates a paranormal quasi theme, I wonder if the other attractions and shops could be renamed.

Does the threat of terrorism deter you from attending parks?
I know this is an older topic.....but I had to give you my thoughts. My thoughts are that if I'm ever in the situation where a terrorist act occurs.....how can I help others through it ,,,, what can I do to ease others pain .....how can I get others to help those in need... I went to Disneyworld the October after New York was attacked...the world had changed and that's when everyone changed. I became more suspicious, and cautious about the surroundings and how I would protect myself until I realized that my goal should be to help the folks around me. We all live once, just be prepared and help others. Not only is it the right thing to do but it is spiritually rewarding.

I wonder if it is possible to have a splash down on an inverted coaster....I know Manta has a simulated splashdown on a flying coaster...Could be kind of cool on an inverted.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at WDW
I love them both but because Walt had his hand on nearly every project there, it's more personal and nostalgic. Pirates of the Caribbean is nearly 15 minutes long and much more extensive.....the whole mystique of the haunted mansion, the stories behind its creation and it's end result are fascinating. Plus the park is quaint and kind of reminds me of Old Coney (for a very good reason!)

The only thing about prototypes that bothers me is that they are constantly working out bugs and making quick fixes so that the ride will operate correctly...usually throughout the first season. I would think that this would cause long distance visitors to think twice about returning to ride the "big new thing"

I believe that what is being built right now....will be HUGE.....

Or a Brady Bunch theme.... edit: I apologize.....probably not the most appropriate post to be made here.

Maintenance costs would explain why parks like Universal, and IOA have fewer rides but more theming.

Thanks for solving that mystery....The only theories I could think of were perhaps Google Earth street level indicators or Emerald Ash bore treatments....LOL

Those have been on the trees in that location for a couple of years....never have figured out what they are.
