The site looks great and is easy to navigate.

One thing I noticed on the Terminator page, it says to "Click here" for project stats, but nothing happened. Broken link?

Otherwise, it's great to see GCII coasters popping up all over the place. Clearly, they are quality rides and very popular with coaster fans all over. The only one I've personally ridden is ROAR up at SFDK, and that was in 1999 just after it opened.

I got to wondering one thing: The standard Millennium Flyer train is 12 cars long. Is it possible to get one, say, nine cars long? The reason I thought about this is that the San Diego Giant Dipper is just ripe for this type of train, and its original Prior and Church trains had nine cars. To me, the current Morgan trains are not right for that ride (or the Santa Cruz Giant Dipper, either). An articulated train would be best, but I think 12 cars is too long, sort of like this question.

Next spring, I look forward to a great GCII coaster at SFMM, a mere 40 miles from home! :br

I too like the look of the new site. Despite the fact that non of my pictures made it on the site I'm still happy they let me try. ^^And I like your point about the train lengths and types. If the Giant Dipper had Millennium Flyer trains but shorter than normal than that would be one heck of a comfy ride.

No, you actually have to click on the text that says "Click here"; links should turn red when you mouse-over. Maybe it makes sense to expand it to the whole text...

You can still contribute more! Like I mentioned in the first post, there were a few cases where we weren't able to use any submitted by a given person for various reasons. So, it's nothing personal!

Hopes Magic Mountain gets a used Roller Skater that 36" kids can ride.

I like the "through the trees" reference in the Prowler description.

Well done.

I might be wrong here, but I was looking through the renovations list and Yankee Cannonball is missing. I had thought you guys worked on it in 2003, and I even think I remember something about it on the old site. Again, could be wrong, but just thought I'd bring it up.

I think Intamin should make a donkey!
