Certainly not the one who spelled grammar wrong, that's for damn sure! ;)

On-topic: I'm hoping we just have lap bars with this coaster. Any chance OTS's will show up?

Just like with the most of our fellow enthusiasts in the NY/NJ/Eastern PA area, I will be there BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY on opening day (hopefully next spring, but i wont be surprised if it opens spring 2006) to witness and experience roller coaster 'history'. Im just wondering how come the Six Flags logo is not on the invite.....

Dave, why don't you go write a book or something... ;)

I am guessing that one of the records they intend to break will be for the smallest restraints ever ;)

Well Jan, it's not like I haven't been trying! And no, not on grammar, thank you very much! ;) I don't know why, I just can't seem to think of something worth writing an extended work on. But if you've got an idea, I'd love to hear it.

--Dave, who's now flirting with the idea of a "Nate vs. Rob: North Jersey Deathmatch" screenplay...

I'd like to see that screenplay. Just make sure someone else proofreads it for GRAMMAR errors! ;)

It might be on there, if you notice, the scan is missing a little bit at the bottom. Checkout the phrases on the sides that correspond with the "Too big (or high) to believe)" at the top, and you can tell something's missing at the bottom.

Maybe the bottom of the invite says "PSYCHE!" :)

Impulse- ive said,

"I think the posters have gone off-topic."

I you think where off topic now just look at RCT2 Questions it went from an idiot to pages worth of a political debate!

Gotta get to Contemporary Issues in the Theme Park Business (class), talk to you guys later. ;)

Probably because you're not looking hard enough. If you look at the bottom left side of the front of the invite (with the tiger on it) you'll see that is is CLEARLY there in plain sight.

Actually, Jack's sense of irony, if you go back to the link and change the 0 to a 1, you'll see the bottom half of the image, which is a white tiger, the words, "This eats ALL records," and the ubiquitous SFGAdv logo. Who's the all-singing all-dancing crap of the world now? :)

--Dave, whose life has gotten WAY too referential...

How about a murder mystery revolving around a coaster site? Heck, you could have the bad guy leave small hints on the board. Of course the poster would write like an AOL user.

Heck, you could even have a twist at the end where it turns out there wasn't really a murder...it was just some punk kid putting us all on. ;)

Either that or get surreal and write about a can of hash who with his friends pork and beans and tomato soup get into all sorts of madcap adventures at a day spa. No? ;)

Just a quick question that may have already been answered.

Is this a parking lot coaster or is the park going to put GRASS down?

Hey coasterlover, i was referring to i am coaster jack's link. when i clicked on yours, yep its there. thanks dude!

On subject here, say it is taller and faster than TTD. Will most people's bodies be able to feel the difference? I've heard people talk about riding both Xcelerator and Storm Runner and they said they can't feel the 8-10 mph difference in the launch. I would say this is more of a numbers race than anything else...

As far as this being a parking lot coaster, I highly doubt it. You can bring up Scream all you want, but GADV put in SUF the same year as Scream and didn't make it a parking lot coaster. What makes you think they would do it with this one? Also, considering the invite has a heavily themed jungle environment I think it's safe to say that's what it is going to look like. I'm pretty sure we will be seeing the statue from the bottom of the invite at the entrance and a nice wooden plank queue through some dense jungle. GADV is doing things right this time. :)

That's what I was thinking MrX. I bet the themeing on this will be wild. I can picture a lot of really dense "greens" right now. The queue should be wooden and really random (jagged). It should feel like you're getting lost in a jungle.

I don't know if it will happen but that's just what I envision.

Let's find out the stats before we go on assuming the coaster is going to be 2 feet taller, just to claim a record, Veilside. Only 7 more days. :)

S:UF also has no need for 2 stations if it's run even remotely correctly. In my experience (~30 rides) there's very rarely significant stacking. They built the thing with 2 stations at SFoG and realized that they designed the restraints so well that people could actually load in a reasonable amount of time and drop to a single station. Seems like a win to me.

Have you ever timed how long it takes to launch the S:UF trains ? Maybe it's more of a slow operator(s) issue, but it takes anywhere from 3 to 4 minutes to launch one of those trains. So, the 2 trains spend most of their time with 1 train being loaded/unloaded and the other one waiting to enter the station behind it. When that is the scenario, a dual station would definitely help. Just look at Storm Runner. The line moves very quickly because there are 2 stations. Since the whole ride is extremely short, 1 station would essentially give you the same scenario that S:UF almost always has.
