^The only such nickname I've ever cared for was "Nessie" for the Loch Ness Monster.

Still such a great coaster, and always going to be a favorite of mine. I'm even wearing my Loch Ness Monster t-shirt today! ^^

I'm glad someone picked up on that! ;)

I agree with you on that one, but only because the actual "monster" in Loch Ness was named Nessie.

Adding an "...ie" to the end of a coaster is reserved only for Cedar Point coasters.

Millie

Mavie

I always thought Millennium Force should be nick named Milf, in which case Nessie and Milf would be the only acceptible coaster nick names in the world.

Why do I still have a donkey title???

Millennium Force can't be called MILF... Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor already has that nickname copyrighted with the theme park nerds. :lol:

Back to Williamsburg, I hope the park does A LOT more landscaping throughout the ride course, event building, and bridge/drop... the area around it isn't looking too "most beautiful theme park in the world"ish at the moment.

All I want is a chainlift!

Why is it people have this expectation of perfect landscaping and a huge lush forests when 3 months ago it was a mound of dirt with concrete here and there.
It takes TIME to grow stuff (even at Busch Gardens!) look at this video from Busch Gardens media day at Big Bad Wolf in 1984. DIRT everywhere, but in a few years time it grows in very nicely. BBW final years had it going through a jungle practically. Give nature some time.
