The frightfest highlights vids were mostly just a huge collection of the smaller vids already uploaded onto your youtube page, all put together into one long video. Also, are you still uploading anymore? I noticed theres no more videos from you? Are you waiting till opening day to film more?

Yes Im currently making a 2010 highlights video just as you said a bunch of small videos together. I made a rip tide bay vid in like the begining of November

By January ill go crazy. Oh wait.... Magic Mountain in December!


Only the first month? Sheesh. It feels like I haven't been there in 3 months. Man its dragging slowly. I just realized that basically half a year is the time SFGAm is closed for the off-season?? Wow. :shock: And I too will also go crazy once January comes around. Right now X-mas and new years are what are keeping me in my chair for now... :P I got my SFGAm music too that I listen to whenever I visit this site. It sets me in the ambience and mood. I still listen to Frightfest music. :D Some may think that's weird but hey, everyone has their niches.

5 more months left people. It'll be here before we know it. Lets all be patient here...

I have totally forgotten about SFGAm.

I can wait till opening day, but I can't wait until I process in at Cedar Point. Looking forward to doing a 25+ ride Magnum marathon and a 2 hour long Skyscraper marathon :D

for anyone looking to solve off-season boredom for a few minutes, feel free to watch, comment, and rate some No Limits Coasters here:

It's my youtube channel, also includes Call of Duty videos, Kingdom Hearts Parodies, and other random things from when I was younger.

Check out the parks Facebook page! There's a nice photo update from the park after this weeks Blizzard. The park looks like a snowy ghost town.

Don't worry. Whirligig isn't going anywhere or being removed. Its just what it normally looks like during off-season, for those who are freakin out thinkin whirligig is leavin. Its not. :)

^You can see Papa Johns is missing from the County Fair Food Court signs. There's your confirmation on IP removal.

^ Also missing are Panda Express, Mrs. Fields, and that Texas Barbeque place. Panda Express was on the same sign as Papa Johns though, and we know based on Fiesta Texas' 2011 map that it is returning. Mrs. Fields and that Texas Barbeque place were both on the far right sign, so one or both of them are out.

What?! No Papa John's anymore?? No Panda Express?? Darn it! :x I never tried Papa Johns at the park. I wanted to see what it tasted like compared to an actual Papa Johns restaurant by my house. One of my things to do at the park this year was to finally try the pizza. Oh well. Another thing I miss out on. If it wasn't so darn expensive, I probably would of tried it already. :roll:

It's nothing like the real Papa John's.....But it was still pretty bad. The only one that I actually got a decent pizza from was the Firehouse.

If the Papa Johns was like SF STL one, it was almost the worst pizza I've ever had. The only pizza worse is the Walt Disney World personal pizzas.

I have doubts about this, especially considering all the work that was done just last year to shoehorn Little Dipper in. The only thing that makes this plausible is the fact BBNP is absent from the park's website.

^All of the BBNP rides have been missing from the website since November 2009. However, there would be no reason to delete the post on Facebook if they could say it wasn't true.

To me, this possibility is disgusting. They wanna remove a really tiny but great atmosphere of a KIDS AREA?! I love that little train ;) Not to mention you have that whole classic vibe of the Little Dipper in that area which is now goin to be completely ruined!! That area is gonna look terrible.

I don't care where gokarts are, I think they look TERRIBLE!! They're trashy, loud, expensive, & oh yeah....unattractive. More carnival esque than an upscale park.
