The Security Guard with the Magic Tricks is one of the hidden gems of the park. Such a great guy. Awesome Coverage of Sky Screamer, I am scared of these things, can't help to think I am going to die... but I will give it a whirl on my next visit.

That's the version of Elvis that most impersonators do--maybe because it doesn't matter how fat you are? :lol:

Looks like Elvis went overseas and had a quick sex change done just in time for the ride opening but chose to still dress the same.

I rode the Sky Screamer tonight. Its a great addition to the park, but because of the trees it didn't feel too high. The Flying Dumbos were also running but we didn't ride. Everything had about a 20 minute wait except Superman, which was running one train. All 3 of The Lanterns trains are back in service!

Ride Count:
Nitro 1
Sky Screamer 1
Swashbuckler 1
El Toro 1

I was looking on rcdb to find the cost of El Toro - my favorite woodie. It's not listed. Does anyone know it's price tag? I'm guessing it must be high since no other park has purchased an Intamin woodie.
Coasternut,

Sky Screamer seems a lot better than WindSeeker because Windseeker only goes like 20 mph.

^^I was actually trying to figure that out myself the other day, and I couldn't find anything on it, Colossos, or T-Express anywhere. RCDB lists Balder as costing just under 10 million USD, so I would imagine that something like El Toro might go for closer to $15 million? Just a guess though. I'd certainly love to see more of them built than some of the rides with even higher price tags that go up.
Last Ride: California Screamin' (DCA)
Next Ride: Intimidator 305 (KD)
