'Gator mentioned an 'awesome log flume' at SFMM. Is he referring to the bobsled ride with the log themed cars and a little bit of water running in the troughs? It is a good ride, a bit rough, and I don't know if I'd call it a flume. The flume rides are down south of the 91 freeway. ;)

Do any of you know how to build a sundial out of a pen and a donut?
uh oh, sounds like someone has a case of the mondays.
As of Friday evening the Shockwave is still in one complete piece. No cranes, no action!!! Still a SBNO coaster. "That is all" :)
A private event is going on this evening as well. Anyone know who rented the park out?

I think that if they took out Shockwave and put in this new B&M flyer it would make an awsome view when entering the park. I hope that it will be known for something, like biggest loop or something.

Hear here!
Steelraptor, if it's a parking lot coaster, which it will be if they take out Shock Wave for it, it will almost certainly be a clone of S:UF. Maybe it'll be a few feet taller, like some of the Batman clones.

And how would going to NoCoastercon help in getting a first ride on the new B&M? If you are going to get info on when it opens, you need not be at that event. All the information at the event will be posted here along with other sites.
If you are going to try to get invited to Media Day, good luck. :)

SFGA Bob, do you know where Oakbrook, Illinois is? Better yet, do you know where Oakbrook Center is? It's right across the street from the mall. The Mariot.
If you know the area, you can find it very easily.

boblogone, the hydroflumes (boats, not logs) are cool and all, but I was actually referring to the flumes with an extra long ride, interacting with the terrain - saw a skunk up there one evening, thank goodness I didn't startle him as much as he did me...;). Plus, with the great DROPS (plural), and the water cannons, the fly-bys with the mine ride, and the memory of LAUNCHING chillforce by convincing him to keep his arms up....Yes, for me the logs at SFMM provide the best RIDE of any flume....Knott's clearly has the best "dark-ride/flume", but the RIDE doesn't stack up IMO against the ones at MM (whose name escapes me right now, obviously...LOL)....
back to topic, I agree whole-heartedly that an Arrow megalooper provides an excellent view upon entry to the park....let's me know I'm at an SF "mega-park"....service be damned, all three have great rides....

You don't want another Bawing/X-Flight unless you want awful restraints, awful trains, and even worse operations.
S:UF leaves X-Flight so far in its dust that it's buried.

All I need is 4.5 million bucks and a half a mile long sliver of land and maybe someone could build me my very own Shivering Timbers.
