^It was on ScreamScape that they were expanding it. The new water area last year looked great, even had a decent crowd on a cold day too.

The slides there were unusually slow. Plus the water was freezing. Hopefully they get something good in the expansion.

They are getting some of the latest waterpark attractions including a proslide Tantrum and a 6 or 8 lane racer slide amongst other things. Name of the Waterpark will be Adventure Bay, pics are at:

also if you look further back on the site there is an older update with some different pics.

Excuse me, how'd this turn into a forum about a waterpark?

Just like in real life, conversations change into other topics.

That sucks. Who did that? For me personally, I'm not as big of a Voyage fan as others are, but I ranked it #30 out of my 163 woodies so it's still very high up there on my list.

As far as Eagle's Fortress is concerned, only 5 of it's 13 rides were on any of the TPR trips so I'm not exactly sure where you think that TPR skewed that vote, but your information is very wrong.

But the ranking is based off of how many coasters you have ridden. I know you, and those 4 other people have probably been on between 500-1,000 coasters. So therefor if you all ranked it as number one that would be enough to give it an extremely high ranking, because of how many coasters you have been on. I am not saying it's a bad ride, because I haven't ridden it, but I am saying if you all rank something the same it will skew. I am just using that as an example because you always complain about arrows and vekomas on your site.

Me? I am sorry if I come off as one but I am sure you would be just as mad if you had your pictures used without permission.
