Zachary, I cannot wait until your official headline post on the homepage about this.Thrilled to share this with friends of mine who haven't been to the park since:
1.) "Griffon was new. "
2.) "Big Bad Wolf was there, I think?"
3.) "A band field trip in 2003."

Some of my favorites:
"I think they just opened the Griffon"
"I've lived 45 minutes away for over 20 years and have never been"
"Which one is Busch Gardens? Is that the one with the Volcano?"
"I remember the Big Bad Wolf"
"I don't know why anyone would go to Kings Dominion over there"

Intamin opening in 2020 at BGW means that the exclusivity contracts have, or will be, expired! (But that's a discussion for another thread...)

Not entirely, I can post what I was made aware of almost three years ago on another thread if anyone wants to hear it. I'm not going to waste 30 min of my time at work to post on an internet forum if no one cares to read it.

If it's gonna take you 30 minutes, that might be a couple of pages at least. Maybe an abridged version? 5 minutes tops?
