Why do you call it "The skull ride"?

Since he can't answer your questions i'll take the liberty.

It's safe to assume that he calls Trailblazer the skull ride because theres a skull at the bottom of the arm.

Pardon Triple Play's dust, they're still working on it.

I agree.



V2 is down


V2 is down :cry:? Oh man. I'm going this week. Oh well I guess that I will just have to wait and see if V2 is open or not when I go.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

Lines will be long all summer (unless it's stormy or something), longer in July.

You would think that Triple Play would be open before all the new rides.

Why wasnt Triple play fixed during the very long off season so it would be ready for opening day???
When a park has almost 6 months of downtime there is almost no reason that every ride shouldnt be up and running from day one!!!

Um, do you know how many rides get refurbished during the offseason? ALL OF THEM. That is a lot of rides. Plus the construction of FIVE new rides. Give them time, would you rather have Ragin Cajun open or Tripple play. Sure we would like all the rides to be open, but this isn't some fantasy world we live in where everything goes right.

CoasterDude04 asked which one would you rather have opened, so I say Triple Play.

I'm sorry you don't like Triple Play (At least I don't think you do.), but I do like it better than RC. It's not the best flat in the world, but it's a good one. If you like a ride and it was down, wouldn't you be unhappy?

I like Triple Play, but Triple play doesnt draw crowds, Cajun is having a consistent 1-1 1/2 hour line whereas triple playwould have a 10 minute line at MAX
