    This is like getting scammed thinking you are getting a dream house mansion and then settling for tent after spending house money...

    No, because it's never going to get built.

    This is a total scam just like earthquest. Can't believe people are actually going to fall for it again.

    Released list of rides at park open:

    Timber - Wooden Rollercoaster
    Widowmaker - Vekoma Boomerang
    Sure Shot - S&S Tower? Could be a number of manufacturers
    Quick Draw - Top Spin
    TX2 Step - S&S Screaming Swing
    Tumbleweeds - Flat Ride
    Heart of Texas Carousel
    Wagon Wheel - Ferris Wheel
    Whirley Dervish - Yo Yo
    Barnstormers Flat Ride
    I-45 Pile Up - Bumper Cars
    Red River Rapids - Rapids Ride
    Scrambler - Think Rickshaws
    Traffic Jam - Flat Ride (Looks Like a kids ride)
    Tractor Trail - Kids driving a Tractor
    Cropdusters - Kids ride
    Steam Engine Stampede - Junior Steel Coaster
    Big Rig Rush - Kids Ride

    The Flats look good, if anyone wants to go through the Chance or Huss catalog and get the model that would be great or try http://www.usedrides.com/

    Lots of names with a nod to Astroworld which is nice (Quick Draw, Wagon Wheel, Whirley Dervish, and Barnstormers)

    A promise of a top 10 Wooden Coaster which would be CCI, The Gravity Group or even Rocky Mountain.. Way too early to speculate but I would guess it would be one of the three.

    There will be a lot of shows that looks to be a lot like what Dollywood does, Merchandise, and food.

    If I ask really nicely, will you post this after every single post in this thread? I'd consider it a personal favor.

    THe Disney rumors have legs max. Don't give up hope.

    Also, watch out for teh Smurf Gang. They are going to come to school and get everybody. And the police can't stop them.

    My sources still indicate that, in fact, Disney has been buying up land outside of Magnolia near the Renaissance Festival.

    Wrong. My sources told me that Disney has bought the Astrodome and Reliant Stadium to make the first mega-awesome-super-indoor theme park. They also bought the Texans and will move them to Anaheim. #gameDESTROYER

    I'm guessing you're going to say the new plan for the Dome is a fake too? Hmmm?

    I heard Comcast will be a minority shareholder, but they want to restrict access to the park to Comcast subscribers only.
