Yeah, I have a lot of generous relatives

I just got the book and the postcard collection for Christmas, which was definatley the highlight of the day (aside from the Wii). I've already read half of the book and so far, I love every little detail you guys put in. Although I wish you guys put in a little more from the Time Warner Era until the present, but otherwise it's absolutely spectacular!

This is all I want for 2011, just a refurbished Old Country with the two rides restored and maybe a brand new flat or two. If we get this for the big 5-0, I would be 100% satisfied.

This has been stuck in development hell for the past 35 years and unfortunately Six Flags, especially right now, is just not in any state right now to be doing anything this big for us. Plus they have to worry about where specifically to place this, how big it would be, how many employees would have to be hired or relocated from the park, and many other things. But I bet that everyone on this forum wants this and hey, there's always 2011!

This is pretty great, I hope I have enough time or money this summer to go to Dorney Park and ride it . But at the same time, I can't help but feel a little sad for all of the Knott's fans.

If this would ever happen, I'd love to see the design of the original 1974 balloon and not just the regular Great Adventure logo with some DC and Looney Tunes characters added.

I agree with this 100%, especially with all the water rides being removed lately (Movietown Water Effect in '08, Hydro Flume in '07, and to a slightly lesser extent: Koala Canyon in '06). But with Hurricane Harbor making a big profit during every summer and the new Tornado in May, I don't see this happening any time soon.

Ecery time someone doesn't vote for El Toro, a puppy dies.

It's a shame they had to cancel it but if set a new date such as in late November or early December, it would be more fitting to the "holidays" moniker. But exactly how many people know about this besides us park buffs? It would be cool if they put out a small commercial, better than nothing right?

Either way I can't go because the park is about 90-100 miles away from my house & I can't drive.

Innoventions

Checkers or Chess?

Interesting, the real amazing thing about this is if someone is actually willing to buy a TOGO. .

Super Mario World

Altoids or Tic Tacs?

Congratulations, guys! Hopefully this will spark some publicity, the best of luck to your sales.

^No, we didn't see that, but now I wish I did.

Thanks a lot for the comment, 29yrswithaGApass, that made my day!

^ Are you kidding me? The weather scared a LOT of people away, allowing for major re-rides. It was a big bummer that they cancelled the shows yesterday, but what are you gonna do? You can read my TR for yesterday here.

A gloomy, rainy day at Six Flags. Perfect!!

Wow, that was fast.

This was my first time riding this, and it was AWESOME.

Great theming, too

At least the park's #1 clown is doing well in the weather.

It turns out this years map wasn't lying.

Toro and Thunder are also doing well in the rain.

Toro + Back row + 3 times = Best thing ever

Taz is the Halloween spirit.

Mandatory Kool-Aid fountain shot

I'm so mad that this was cancelled.

Nitro was running all day.

I have to start riding this more often

Justin and Dillon fooling around in Wiggles World

Justin sure liked Wiggles World.

Roger here was nice enough to show us some magic tricks.

I keep thinking what it would be like if they replaced this with the Tumbler from the Nolan films.

A scrambled mess of track

I finally get a shot of DK's trains

I somehow got involved in a Mr. Six Dance Party.

The rest of the group is ready for Kingda Ka!

They all screamed like Banshees.

Ka's closed section

I'm surprised that they let the tigers out at all yesterday.

Another tiger shot

Almost forgot about this.

The spooky walk

The famous Fright Fest sedan

The Fright Fest Hearse

Justin and Dillon fooling around again.

We're all ready for the teacups

Another shot of the sexy upgrade

A intersting piece of merchandise I found at El Mercado.

Let's play "Find the Train".

I just finally realized that this sign lights up.

Waiting in the rain for 5 minutes for a flamethrower shot = Priceless

Last pic of the day. Thanks for reading!

TR: I'll try to be as brief as I can. My high school was doing a trip to Fright Fest only open to a handful of kids, so I signed up. I was placed in a group with people I only sort of knew before this: Mia, Claire, Justin, and Dillon. We arrived around 9:00 so I had to pass the time by reading and sleeping. When the park opened, I was surprised that so few people were behind the ribbon to the west side of the park, during Fright Fest no less! It turns out that the weather scared A LOT of people away, and every single ride we got on was either a walk on or had a wait of at most 15 minutes. Fortunately, it didn't rain a lot during the day and I brought an umbrella anyways. A lot of the rides we went on were actually firsts for some members of the group. We also got to snag a lot of re-rides, including Batman 4 times in a row! Unfortunately, because of the weather, some coasters like El Toro and Bizarro were only running with one train, and some flats like Fling and Buccaneer weren't running at all for no good reason. Also, all of the night activities including Dead Man's Party were cancelled and the park closed early at 7:00 PM. :grrr: Other than that, it was an awesome day.

Overall: 9.5/10 The rain, cancelled events and early closing were a letdown, but the major re-rides and abundance of other rides was very much redeeming. I'll post my pictures a little later.

^ Wow, just wow.

Anyways, even though everyone including myself knew that this was eventually going to happen at one point or another, I'm excited for this. The The ride will have plenty of space and I'm happy they did this for HH's 10th anniversary.

I at least hope it won't land near Fantasy Fling.

I really hope SFOG can bounce back from this, because the last time a Six Flags was flooded...well, you know.

Originally, I thought it was going to be painted all red, like the Parachute Tower in Coney Island. After seeing the recent pictures, it looks much better with the variety of colors. Now someone just has to alter the ride spotlight...

Game Gear, the lesser of two evils

The Simpsons or Futurama?

Spectacular photos. I was quite surprised to development of the Parachutes & Houdini later in the season, but they look promising!

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Electric Guitar or Bass Guitar?

Wow, the Disney parks have a lot on their hands for the future: This, the Star Tours sequel, the $1.1 billion rehaul of California Adventure, and Shanghai Disneyland in 2014. Talk about a crowd-pleasing chain.
