What ever happend to Power Dive

Im almost positive PowerDive is a Intamin Starship, im not 100% sure though.

What i found most funny about this is that they used that area for some kind of food. They couldnt even be bothered to change the whole sign. They simply removed the "dive" from "power dive" and changed it to somethign like power snacks or something stupid like that. The difference between the word power and the new word was blatantly obvious. Talk about being cheap...

NO they changed it to a game, A bowling game to be exact and they put alley on the bottom of the sign, So its PowerAlley!!

by **Suf03sfgam** on January 11th, 2003, 10:34 pm

Really??? Thats crazy!!!!!! I never stoped to check it out! Didnt look cool enough I guess!

I hardly ever dish out money at a park, especially for games. Also, I haven't ever tried any extra rides you have to pay for.

Thats exactly how i am. I have only bought 3 On Ride pics cause my aunt used to do that and make fun of me cause of my face when i was 5 and now i do that to her

by **coasterzak** on January 11th, 2003, 11:17 pm

I have also bought 3 on ride photos: the first time on Millennium Force, a time when I was at SFWoA with my family and we all fit in the picture of the Batman Knight Flight, and again on MF when my 6 personed family all fit in the picture!

yeah it looked pretty lame...

by **Suf03sfgam** on January 12th, 2003, 1:17 am

If we are talking about the same thing i think they did pretty good on the sign!!!! And it saved money not having to make another one!!!

by **coasterzak** on January 12th, 2003, 3:18 pm

Anybody have a picture of it? I say we take a poll.

by **T_Biggs** on January 12th, 2003, 4:45 pm

I just remember the signed looked like not much effort went into it. I forgot exactly what was different, but the font was wrong. I think it had to do with the way holes were in the A. It was either too square or too round, I think. To someone like me who deals with things like that all the time, it is very obvious.

by **Suf03sfgam** on January 12th, 2003, 5:46 pm

you guys wanna know someting very funny Someone said that Power Dive is being put up in its same spot... Oh yea and viper is being moved cause theres something wrong with the wheels and seats. and Oh btw FunMachine and Triple play are gone too. And theres purple things in there spots. No how many people believe this?? I do....... NOT!!!! Also, I'm a stupid idiot. That was not sarcastic! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm the kewlest guy in the wurld!

by **DejaVuGurl1203** on January 12th, 2003, 5:51 pm

Thats just the FUNNIEST rumor I've ever heard. My god, removing Shockwave AND Viper? I mean COME ON thats just stupid. And about the other rides... my god get real people.

by **coasterzak** on January 12th, 2003, 5:53 pm

That is a pretty wild rumor. Almost as wild as "Magnum is sinking into Lake Erie, it has to be removed!"

by **DejaVuGurl1203** on January 12th, 2003, 6:07 pm

LMAO I like that one... but yeah it is wild

by **coastrcorey** on January 12th, 2003, 8:01 pm

those are some pretty lame rumors...

by **RagingBull350** on January 14th, 2003, 8:12 pm

My god thats the biggest pile of horse crap that ive ever seen!!!

by **usdjock01** on January 14th, 2003, 10:07 pm

Ok so now if we compile all the rumors by about the year 2006 all the coasters will be gone

If you guys would like to see some pics that I took of Power Dive In action a few years ago check out my site, http://www.geocities.com/theflagrules/PowerDiveDedication.html?1043206448160 It also has some Pics of the New and improved "Power Alley" :roll:

Hope you enjoy!

by **CoasterDave316** on January 21st, 2003, 11:47 pm

Great Pics, brings back some memories. I can only hope that sometime it will return to the park like Big Top returned as Ricochet.

by **coasterzak** on January 22nd, 2003, 5:06 pm

Those are some good looking pictures. Looks like a pretty cool ride. They should bring those old school rides back. I'd love to catch a ride on it.

by **coasterguy** on January 22nd, 2003, 6:38 pm

i don't see what is so great about it. I never get in to those thrill rides. I just go to Great America for rollercoasters!

by **SFGAMNUT9302** on January 22nd, 2003, 7:01 pm

Thanks guys! I too hope that this ride will return to the park sometime in the future. It was really sad to see this ride come down fter so many years.The only thing that puzzels me about the removal was they left alot of supports standing and mototrs and wheels standing as well. It would be cool if they fixed it up and reinstaled it but that probably won't hapen. Oh well

by **coastrcorey** on January 22nd, 2003, 10:20 pm

Awesome! I so miss Power Dive... too bad it had to be taken out.

Hey, it kind of goes with the "Superman/Flying" theme... Who knows maybe they will put it back in... It's only wishful thinking though...
