The yearly expenditure CF report just came out today. The news:

We're getting an Intamin tower, appropriately named The Shaft. Pics below...

Yeah for me picking this year to go to KBF!  The horse themed booster bike coaster sounds like fun!

No rides is better than Villain.

While you should look around once in awhile it is ALWAYS better from the top of a coaste

Who says we are getting nothing?  Like they would announce in that big PR about us getting the Americana ferris wheel or even El Dorado from GL.

I'll have to add this to the list of knowledge.

It does sound like fun.  I've always wanted to ride a lame steeplechase ride but haven't ever had the change (damn you Wild West World).  This sounds like a steeplechase on meth.  :idea1:

WOF announced in Hot Air that they will have scheduled ERT on certain dates next year for GOLD and PLATINUM Season Pass Holders. They have all the dates posted in Hot Air.

I predict that Boomerang will be more popular this year, now that people can find the entrance.

Btw, a "montague" of the past thirty-five years of shows? Like in "Romeo and Juliet? Lol, I think you mean "montage."
...and the clocks were striking thirteen.
