    This project is most inspirational Coasterdude. Your way of advertising is very convincing and the park looks fantastic. It makes me want to play RCT3, until I open it up for like, 5 minutes and get angry with it. Great job.

    Well this is my last week in South Carolina before I return to school. There has been very little rumblings about next year, so I doubt we'll see anything major. Things aren't looking that great for the company, but hopefully we'll see a turnaround soon.

    Tony Hawk's Big Spin looks good from the parking lot...

    Posted Image
    ...as well as from one of the spinning cars!

    Posted Image
    I'm not sure why they ran an empty car.

    I'll have one more update before I leave.

    Well folks, today is my last day in South Carolina this year. It's been a fun summer. I think Tony Hawk was a great move for the park, as we've really been lacking a true family coaster.

    Posted Image
    I've heard a few rides will receive new coats of paint next year. Hopefully Undertaker is one of them.

    Posted Image
    I love this view of the park.

    Posted Image
    I took one last ride on V2 before heading out.

    Posted Image
    Goodbye, Six Flags. I'll see you again next year.

    It's great to be back in South Carolina! I took a trip to the park today to check out the new Bizarro and Wii Experience.

    Posted Image
    While I don't particularly care for the purple and blue color scheme, it does make a drastic change to the park's skyline.

    Posted Image
    Even the entrance building has a new look.

    Posted Image
    The fire effect is really great. [CD5 note: the knuckles will be fixed!]

    Posted Image
    Wii Experience costs $10 to ride. Needless to say as a broke college student, I did not ride.

    Posted Image
    Have a great day.

    Today I checked out the Deer Park Plunge site. There are some interesting rumors surrounding it.

    Posted Image
    Other than removing the flume and station, there's been very little work done to the area. I believe this backs up the claim that the ride itself was unstable and was more a safety hazard than sitting on top of valuable real estate.

    Posted Image
    Either way, I think it's doubtful that we'll see anything on this land until 2011 at the earliest.

    Posted Image
    Bizarro's line was outrageous today, but that was probably due to the fact that only one train was being run.

    Posted Image
    Same situation at Green Falcon... step it up Six Flags!

    I forgot to mention that both Undertaker and Batman got new coats of paint this year.

    Posted Image
    Fresh paint makes a world of difference.

    Posted Image
    Batman kept its original color scheme. I was a little surprised.

    Posted Image
    Green Falcon isn't quite ready for new paint.

    Have a great day.

    Did I mention that Firebomb was removed during the off-season? It was.

    Posted Image
    There was no word on why the ride was removed, but it was probably the fact that it was closed more than it was open.

    Posted Image
    The ride platform has been converted into a picnic area. I haven't heard anything on what new attraction might take its place, if anything.

    Posted Image
    Bizarro is beautiful, no matter the color.

    Posted Image
    No lines equals multiple re-rides.

    Posted Image
    I took one last ride on Undertaker before calling it a day.

    I spent the whole day at the park and left with a painful sunburn. I need to remember to bring that sunscreen next time!

    Posted Image
    After the removal of the log flume, I've made a point to pay more attention to the classic rides at the park, such as Vulture.

    Posted Image
    Speaking of Deer Park Plunge, very little work has been done on the site since the flume was removed. There have been rumors that the ride was removed because the land it was built on is unstable. Hmm...

    Posted Image
    Undertaker was running pretty rough today. I hope it wasn't that paint job!

    Posted Image
    Now to go put some Aloe Vera on this burn!

    To pay more attention to rides such as Vulture? bit of a typo there or seriously referring to the suspended..?

    So far there have been few rumors about next year. As I was at the park today I looked around for possible markers but I couldn't find anything.

    Posted Image
    It's very possible that we won't see anything big until the company recovers... which could be a long ways off.

    Posted Image
    I think it will be a while before we see another big coaster.

    Posted Image
    Tidal Wave's operation has been spotty lately.

    Posted Image
    The park wasn't crowded today at all. The heat probably kept some people away, as well as the threat for rain.

    Posted Image
    Now it's time for a ride on Bizarro...have a great rest of the day!

    I've heard some exciting news: next year's new attraction will be built on the old Deer Park Plunge site. We should be seeing some activity around this area very soon.

    Posted Image
    I like seeing Bizarro from this angle. Is it sad that I started typing Superman? It's been six months since the coaster was renamed.

    Posted Image
    The park wasn't too crowded today. Most lines never exceeded 15 minutes. That's pretty typical for a mid-summer weekday.

    Posted Image
    Strangely, Undertaker was closed for the entire time I was at the park. Hmm...

    Posted Image
    Tony Hawk is still very popular with the families (of four anyway).

    Posted Image
    Some poor woman lost her lunch on Gotham City Crime Wave. Unfortunately this is not a rare occurence.

    Today was a hot summer day. The lines were long but I stayed at the park for most of the day.

    Posted Image
    I've heard a new Batman show will take place in the Gotham theater next year.

    Posted Image
    I also heard that this is the area of the park to watch for future development. I'm assuming they're talking about the large plot of land that was once home to SkyCoaster.

    Posted Image
    Riding Tony Hawk at night is interesting to say the least.

    Posted Image
    Luckily for me the lines died down once the sun set.

    Posted Image
    It was still a decent wait, though.
