Winfield

I have them from 96-98. I have my section scanned and can do the rest if you still need them.

This would be a tie for me between Enterprise or the Log Flume. The Enterprise made me want to vomit everytime I watched it while the Log Flume made me want to just fall asleep. I always preferred staying at Viper. It was so much fun for me and allowed so much more interaction than the other rides.

In order for my confidence to increase in the overall operation of the park, Great Adventure at least, needs to reopen Houdini, get a swing ride and turn more traditional. The overall SF Chain seems to be wanting to remove these classic rides even those I find it fantastic that they are restoring certain classic rides including many coasters. I just do not believe this is happenning in our case.

I also re-rode Robin so many times during the '98 employee party and thought I was going to pass out when I was finished. The torture just continued on Batman The Ride and Freefall.... ahhhh good times!

Actually while it sounds funny it was very easy to refurb Viper and actually make it a much better ride. If you remember the summer of 97 the markings were even all over the ground and station. The modifications were fact but cut for budget reason. After "twist" you went into a three level helix which would slow the train down before entering the heartline area making that area not as "intense/rough". The final turns would also be taken at a much slower speed reducing the side jarring that occurred. The first row of one train was also given a thick Styrofoam that made the ride more tolerable. The major issue simply was budget and Togo's issues at the time.

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to email you Eric. I keep getting forum member name not found (or something like that). Anyway I will start scanning tonight. Did you want the entire book or just certain departments?

I have one from each season I worked there 96,97,98.

If those numbers were true I could take a nice vacation since I would actually have an amazing return on investment.

If a park as amazing as Dollywood cannot keep a Topple Tower working properly why would we want one at GADV? It seems to me that many of the Huss rides are nothing but issues in the US.

Little Rolling Thunder followed by Runaway Mine Train a few seasons later.

Something odd is going on....Shapiro keeps barking nothing but positives in terms of cash flow yet the stock does not show anything really positive. Shapiro is either lying or something big in terms of the results is going to happen on the 4th that proves all of the investors wrong.

I would have to say Cedar Point was the most disappointing park but not a bad park by any means. This trip was clear a case of anticapointment(sp). I found the park to have good coasters (Magnum really only stood out as great to me). MF and a few flats were closed which might of hurt my opinion somewhat but of course I cannot say for sure. I did feel that the park was lackluster in terms of its feel. For a "lake" side park it felt to much like a slab of concrete in many locations. Sure it was clean and the people were nice but I expect that when I pay to go anyplace.

Wow I went in with the GP and thought security did a great job at keeping things very much in order. I had no trouble getting to the line for DK where they opened a very small area for those along the chain waiting around 11:15.

The perfect ride to me always was Drachen Fire. I found everything about the ride to be exciting from start to finish.
