Everything gives me a 404.

Let me rephrase that. If you put the name before the domain name (like it will be), then it gives you a 404.

EDIT: Any particular reason BB code is not working?

MOD EDIT: BB code is fine - it wants the full http url syntax.

CHRIS EDIT: Thanks.

the sub domains are irrelevant. Cedar Fair doesn't use those anymore.

after seeing the lengthy teaser by Holiday World for their new coaster its obvious that the teasing had absolutly nothing to do with the name of the coaster. I'm taking all this Rome stuff with a grain of salt now.

Any signs of track anywhere yet? Footers are coming along nicely.. I really want to know what color our new coaster will be.

If you're referring to the 66 day diary about the voyage of the mayflower... then the name has everything to do with the teasing.. Straight from the Thunderbird website: http://www.holidayworld.com/thunderbird/facts/

LEGEND: In 1620, as the Mayflower neared the end of its 66 days at sea, a mighty storm nearly capsized
the ship, taking it hundreds of miles off course. As passengers and crew feared all was lost, an immense bird appeared in the sky. The thunderbird, whose wings created the thunder and eyes flashed the lightning of the powerful storm, rescued the ship by launching it through the sky to the New World.

I'm not saying that this guarantees anything for a Roman theme, but it's something to think about.

From Holiday World today...

"This is why we announced Thunderbird last week. Sort of hard to hide 29 truckloads of track and supports! #HW2015"

Their track started arriving today. Perhaps this gives us a schedule for our coaster.

Hey everybody,

I've been a long time lurker of this site and thought I'd share a photo my brother took at Carowinds today. Apparently Carowinds has put up another teaser banner.
