Key to the pics:

Wow those are some nice pics. Man that is going to be one great ride. The helix is just totally out of this world. Those drops are totally sick looking. I wonder how many g's you will pick up. It looks like one of those rollercoaster tycoon coaster you make to bring quick cash.

I've said it once, I'll say it again.

Cornball Express and Cheetah will easily be the best rides of the year.

Don't touch the watch.

I think so too! But it will be so under rated, it wont even be funny :(

It all depends on how fast you are going when you go through these elements. yes, the coaster looks sweet. But it may not turn out as nice as all of you may think. I am not insulting the coaster. I am, just stating a thought of mine.

Figures a MM fan would put down another parks new rides... Just Kidding!
I go to Purdue, which is less than half an hour from Indiana Beach, so I've been checking out the progress of this ride almost every weekend. From the looks of the ride, the helix will be taken at a good deal of speed, as well as those great-looking drops. Cornball will be the sleeper hit of the year, I think, just like Boulder Dash was last year.

Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"

OT: I realy need to change my handle. Magic Mountain is not even my favorite park. sfmmman2001 was just the 1st thing that came to mind.

Have you ever ridden a CCI? I don't think you would be saying that if you have. From the looks of it, this coaster will be going at hell bent speed through those turns.

That looks like a awesome coaster. I still don't care for the name but I don't want to open up that can of worms again. Enjoy. to those of you who will get to ride this coaster.

ravenguy98- Yes, I have been on a CCI coaster. I think that it would be very obvious that I have by my handle. Of course I am talking about Ghostrider at Knotts which is not far from MM. Cornball will have a top speed of 45mph. In my book, that is not fast.

The G's on this thing are going to be SWEET especially as your catching air then getting thrown to the side!!

But what matters is how fast it FEELS. Just think about how fast you are going at the end of Ghostrider. It feels like its the end of the world, right? well how much faster can it be going then 45 mph?

Just wait all of you skeptics that thinks corny is going to suck. When it opens it is going to blow the coaster industry away and leave everyone breathless. Corny isn't big but she will pack one hell of a punch and going to be one great rollercoaster.

When I get to old to ride coasters, I am old to live.

45 mph might be a rough estimate just like the 75 ft. hill is (which is now verified as 79.5 ft. high). Who cares about the speed or height...it will be fun.

It will be fun no doubt. Anywho, no need to atack. Simma Down Naw. hehe :)

Glitchy, thanks for posting my 1st drop pics!!!

Was out at IB today and talked to Randy Larrick...he thinks the 1st drop might be 53 degrees. It will be interesting to see how much of a "family" coaster this will be!

PTC train (standard lap bars, thank you) due in any day now!

No problem! My mouth dropped like 10 ft. when I saw those pictures! That is a VERY steep drop on a wooden coaster! Is it just me, or is the rendering the "watered down" version of the real thing? lol I don't think it showed hardly any of the steepness it really has. I wonder if it will be testing when I go this Sunday...?? Hmmmmmmmm :)

For those of you who didn't know, 18-20 highlight the first drop, thanks very much to IB Dave!

No joke the artist rendering does not show the true cornball express. Of the pics I have seen corny is a lot more steeper and tighter looking than the artist rendereing. I think the cornball is going to be the best darn woodcoaster in the world!

I'll most likely never get to ride this coaster, but man I wish I could. The first drop looks amazing, and this coaster has a unique layout. Anyone who gets to ride this coaster is very lucky because it's gonna be a winner. I hope that SFGAdv. will get something like this, and soon!
