I hear you, maverick owns anything at Cedar Point IMO, and most of my fave coasters are under 200 feet. I've heard some int(amin)eresting rumours too lol.

Yeah ever since they've moved mazes out to the backlot they've used that corridor really well. They come from everywhere and really get in your face and they've got their cue from when another tram from the lower lot arrives rather than people randomly going through anytime - so they're all ready and waiting. And you ain't going back to the lower lot unless you go through. Definitely the best scare zone.

It's going to be Family Guy themed: Quagmire's Giggity Giggity Giga Coaster. I think we'll all need to be underwhelmed from riding Doomsgay Destroyer before this tread get hot again. Or a sighting Intamin track in the backlot.

^It could really work with a bit of fog and some scare actors. A couple of years ago HHN Hollywood, they had a a gauntlet style scare zone in the backlot (which you pretty much had to walk through). It was a wide passageway with lots of fog and zombies coming at you and was very effective.

Agree, that was one of the best bits of HHN Hollywood last year. I really enjoyed both their Michael Myers mazes, last year and 2009 (which had parts from all the films rather than the first like last year). The doomsday area might loan itself well to a very gnarly scarezone, and I wish they's use that dead space behind lethal weapon in Chinatown. For a maze or a running-the-gauntlet-like scare zone.

That would be a great maze. I don't recall if someone like Halloween Horror Nights has done that before, if they haven't, they should. So many great set pieces well suited for a walk-through.

Pink camo? They better have a stand selling Orange Mocha Frappucinos as well. I'm looking forward to see how the precinct itself turns out, the ride is pretty stock.

^I agree it's rough at the best of times, but it was far rougher than usual the last time I rode it.

And continuing the riveting discussion on Doomsgay Destroyer: has anyone noticed that Arkham Asylum has become super rough lately (or has it been that way for a while?). The difference between just after Christmas and a few weeks ago was quite considerable, it was rather violent. Oh well, in the not-too-distant future we'll all be too busy riding the giga coaster to worry about riding anything else. So are the supports of DD fully erect now?

I actually watched Wyrmwood after last years event, it was quite good. I hear rumblings about 6 mazes this year, but I guess we'll see.

^Or better still, admission includes all food and drink and merchandise in the park.

An Expedition GeForce or Maverick style coaster would great thanks. Going over to wikipedia page to edit to suit my own coaster preferences...

^Duelling wacky worms. I'm booking my flight to Caloundra!

I was on the train going over the bridge yesterday, it looked like there was some working going on, but it was hard to tell from that distance. Anyone seen the site up close this week?

A dragon wagon would be a big ride for Aussie World.

^If only they could afford it. It's ironic my fave coaster at CP is 105 feet tall, but I love the big coasters too. I've been on a few dive coasters, the drops are fun, but not a lot happens otherwise. It's impressive how they've jammed it into that space between Raptor and Millennium Force.

Confused investors: "when you said it would be a XXX park, we thought you were talking about the Vin Diesel movie".

The horniest place on earth,

Disney for deviates?

Batty is Vekoma, the stigma must be unbearable.

^I could have done better lol, really it's just what I did, it was fun to reflect on 2015. I never bother going to Disney when I'm in LA, prefer Halloween haunts and coasters - so lazy. 2015 was actually a lean year compared to years I've done Theme Park Review tours. Oh I forgot. I did Adventure World in Perth in January 2016.

2015 Luna Park Melbourne, Wonderland Fun Park (Melbourne, yes I got the credit), Luna Park Sydney, Movie World (Gold Coast), Sea World (Gold Coast), Dreamworld (Gold Coast), Adventuredome, Fun Spot America, Fun Spot Kissimmee, Busch Gardens Tampa, Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Disney Studios Orlando, Sea World Orlando, Universal Orlando, Knott's Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Universal Hollywood, Queen Mary Dark Harbour (a haunt, but did have rides)...I think that's it. 2016 Actually done: Luna Park Sydney, Movie World (GC), Sea World (GC). Possibilities: probably stuff west coast USA.

A Wanda takeover would be good, but venture capitalists are purely about profit - I mean it could go the way of Australia's wonderland if they could get away with turning the land parcel into industrial or residential.

^In my opinion, only get stuff that is $10 or more so you get your money's worth. I thought the clam chowder was good (though I note the stand was identified as the corn cobb stand last Sat night) - it's a large hollowed out bread bun with the chowder inside. The southern chicken was one I wanted to try but I didn't get to it.

Bummer, I was at MW on Saturday. Green Lantern did get going eventually. It had a big line at first, but it dropped off a bit in the middle of the day. I was disappointed Superman wasn't running too, I hoped it would be going during the day like the previous week, but oh well. Sea World was ridiculous to get in on Monday too. I got there super early because they were opening at 1.30pm and I had the Shark Encounter at 2pm.
