I actually thought it was speacial made because of the 2 wheel and the 3 wheel because why would they have two that are the same but different.

Yea same here. When I 1st heard about us getting Revolution, thats what I thought were getting, till I saw the the ride itself while it was still in its former home. Revolution can be a fun ride but it's not really as fun as I expected it to be. Personally I'd trade it for something like Maxair which would be a lot more thrilling.
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

Sorry, we lost our triple ferris wheel, they're not going to be like "whoops! that was a mistake, let's just get another one then!" because if they did that for every ride the park would never grow, and no one would ever go back.
Why do we fall, Master Bruce?
So we can learn to pick ourselves up.

FParker, I just looked at the Intamin Online Ferris Wheel Catelog and found no Triple Wheel.

Colonel Mustard, We may not get the ride back but we might get an improved updated model. Like The Edge and Giant Drop, Ragin Cajun and The Dark Knight, Tidal Wave and V2, etc.

The Edge and Giant Drop are two completly different styles of Rides, as are Cajun and Dark Knight, and tidal wave and V2 were both launched, and in Yankee, that's the only thing they had in common.

not a whole lot from their actual catalog is on their website. It always appears in their paper catalogs though, at least all the ones I have.

Really what else is in their catelog that isnt on their website?

Huh, I wonder why they won't list it on the website if they still make it?

cause Manufacturer websites are made for fans of rides, not to sell rides. the material they hand out at trade shows when they are actually talking to the potential customer, those are far more accurate. I highly doubt that at any point in time in the history of amusement parks or the internet that any park anywhere has said "We need a new ride. Let's check the internet and see whats out there"

That's not to say they will ever sell another one, cause they probably wont, that is if they even still know how to make it, but if someone was willing to pony up a whole bunch of $$, they would figure it out and make it, or see if Waagner Biro still had the prints or was willing to make one.

We should get a new sign because the old one has 'Camp Cartoon Network' they can't just pry off letters or spray paint 'Network' out. You would have to get a new sign to make it look nice and not bad looking.
I like to jump like this!!!

Most likely as the characters are all still going to be there, only the name is no longer in use.

^No definitely not! But I think with all the changes going on ride now in the park, I'm glad they aren't adding more rides this year, that way they can finish the projects they've started.

I think "Camp Cartoon" sounds a little off. After being used to "Camp Cartoon Network", it just sort of sounds weird...

Tried to get a good pic of Splashwater Falls Deconstruction. This was the only angle I could get and I tried zooming in as far as I could, even with my crop feature.

It looks like half of it is gone but I'm not sure. This was a bad angle but the only angle I could get. :(
