Uhm, picture 5 & 7 show the wheel caps.

King's Island/King's Dominion both look the same @ 5 am! Ooops pardon my error. IJ was overhyped, it's too short, and the effects suck.

If memory serves me, I actually remember hearing that CBS, was looking to sell it's theme park division, many months ago. After hearing a couple days ago, that CBS (UPN 38??) and Warner Brothers (WB 11??) were partnering/merging, to form a new network it makes me wonder? Does one thing have anything to do with the other? Maybe CBS is selling the parks to position itself better in case the new network fails. All I know, is that with new owners, Canada's Wonderland will maybe see some more investment in decent rides at the park. The last 2 rides we have received have sucked ass big time. (IJ and Tomb raider) As far as IJ being built at Kings Island, it does say in the article posted by Shari: "The company says the parks will operate normally while a sale is negotiated. " To me that would mean that IJ, will still be built.

Eastern Canada says; "We can see you now."

Just Curious? Is anyone else having trouble seeing these video's??? Everytime I try to open the link, the page starts to load, and then it crashes my browser. I am using IE, any suggestions? :?

^^^^ The Looping Starship from Expo `86 wound up at Astroworld, but with the closing of the park.... It most likely is now scrap unless someone else knows otherwise?

Actually, according to RCDB, Bullet closed 9/25/05, and Magnum is still listed as operating. However if it's being advertised as for sale, then sadly it's days are probably numbered also. http://www.rcdb.com/pd276.htm I have only one question: Why is everybody so anxious to get rid of their Schwarzkopf's? :?

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A World Wrestling Entertainment star was found dead in his hotel room Sunday in Minneapolis, where he was scheduled to appear that evening in a WWE show. Eduardo Gory Guerrero, 38, didn't respond to a wake-up call Sunday morning, authorities said. His nephew, fellow WWE wrestler Chavo Guerrero, and hotel security at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center forced their way into the room and found him. There were no apparent signs of foul play, police said. An autopsy was planned to determine how Guerrero died. His nephew said Guerrero was open about past drug and alcohol abuse but had been sober for four years. Guerrero was married and had three children. "This is a huge loss," said WWE chairman Vince McMahon. "Eddie was a wonderful, fun-loving human being. Eddie was a consummate performer." Guerrero was a featured star on the series WWE Smackdown! He was the son of Mexican wrestler Gory Guerrero. Last year, he became the second wrestler of Hispanic heritage to be WWE champion, though he lost the title four months later. A special aired last year on his life called Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story. The program chronicled Guerrero's childhood and his struggle with drug addiction that almost cost him his job, family and life.

^ Uhm yeah, I got that. I guess you missed my point. I meant to be sarcastic in nature, Like Calaway is so cheap why build a 2nd water ride when you can just repaint, and rename the old one. I mean they did it with "turn of the century", er Corkscrew, I mean Vortex. But no doubt in Calaway fashion, Mother Nature's ride, will most likely be some ages old ride, that has been out for years in the US, but will be "ALL NEW for 2006", by Alberta standards.

^^ Why would they go through the expense of putting in a rapids ride? They already have their "Log Ride", in all it's craptacular splendor. Let's face it, Calaway Park always has been and always will be a small-time "young- family" park. If you want thrills head north to West Edmonton Mall, they may only have one major coaster also, but at least it's an Anton!

25 years and still the same ol tired arrow corkscrew that they opened the park with. You'd think that in 25 years they MIGHT be able to offer something else. Anything else! Sheesh!! :shock: I am sad to say that this used to be one of 2 parks I called home till I moved east.

Magic Hour is before the park opens and is for resort guests only. Robb explains a little bit about it here. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1757
