Adventureland planning to add more water features
By KRISTA KIELSMEIER • October 15, 2009 • Des Moines Register

Following the arrival of chilly October weather, locals can look forward to expanded water park options at Adventureland next summer.
“It’s going to be the biggest addition that we’ve ever done here in one single year, and should run us about $5 million,” said Molly Vincent, Adventureland’s director of advertising.

The Altoona City Council on Oct. 5 approved the site plan for Adventure Island additions next to Kokomo Kove and the splash pad at Heron Harbor. Kokomo Kove opened in 2008.
“Because there’s some structures involved, basically, any development of land, especially of this size of about 7.5 acres, they needed site plan approval,” said Chad Quick, Altoona’s city planner. “There was also a variance that was needed to build some structures within the typical setback from 34th Avenue.”

Vincent said the water area with the addition will cover 4.5 acres, up from the current 1.5 acres. She said the site includes a swimming pool, swim-up bar, quarter-mile lazy river and 13 new water slides.
“They’re from pretty mild to pretty crazy,” Vincent said. “Some of them are as high as 75 feet.”
According to city documents, Adventure Island will have a capacity for around 2,500 guests once the addition is complete. Lifeguards will provide safety, and entry to Adventure Island will accompany a regular admission ticket to Adventureland. Vincent said officials expect the water park addition to be ready by June 2010.

I already thought to next week Philadelphia against Bears and I can't even call that still given the Bears beat Philly the last two years. I still don't know what to expect 11/22.

Pittsburgh and Cincinnati today at 1. Wow that's big. Patriots-Colts later. I agree with the announcers recalling just how bad they were a decade ago but look at those juggernauts now. I want the Pats to win.

EAGLES at San Diego. I wish I had vacation time still and could go to see my sister, now in San Diego. In the 90's when I started to watch MNF I loved Qualcomm even if it was one of those ugly last generation cookie cutters. I want to get there. I'm glad San Diego beat the Giants last week. What do I expect out of my team this week? I know they can't really come back in the 4th quarters. The youth offensive attack is what we have to ride. I think the defense misses a dominating, veteran name like Brian Dawkins who's now in Denver.

+++++++++++++++++++
Cincinnati WON in Pittsburgh, taking BOTH games of the season series against them AND Baltimore. Wow. I was wondering where Cincy went the last two seasons. Jacksonville beat the Jets. Tennessee woke up and won. Liking the 41 points. St. Louis gave New Orleans a fight. The Saints won. My team: they lost to the Chargers. My father and I were yelling at Philly to run the ball more. Those first two field goals could have been TD's if we ran the ball. I'm getting tired of the same old story of not running the ball, penalties. Penalties are killing us. Green Bay beat Dallas - Nice. The Giants had a Bye. The NFC East is NOT the best NFC division clearly.

Carolina - Congrats. I hope they go at least 8-8, as long as it doesn't involve my team. ]]> Sports Bar Leo C http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/sports-bar-18/58489-nfl-09-11-15-09-week.html <![CDATA[NASCAR Sprint Cup: Checker O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 @ Phoenix]]> http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/sports-bar-18/58474-nascar-sprint-cup-checker-oreilly-auto-parts-500-phoenix.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 09:01:42 GMT Martin Truex is on the pole with two races left in the season.

In Week 10, we saw Ohio State upset Penn State, Florida beat Vandy with a not-so-spectacular score, USC barely handle ASU, and Cincinnati beat UConn by 2. Navy beat Notre Dame for the second time in three years.

My teams both won. Georgia Tech pulled off a gutsy play to beat Wake Forest in OT, and Arizona destroyed Washington State.

For Week 12, Georgia Tech can clench a trip to the ACC title game with a win over Duke. No. 2 Texas plays Baylor. No. 10 Ohio State takes on No. 15 Iowa, who recently got its first loss. This game could decide the Big Ten. USC takes on Stanford (thanks, Andrew), which is ranked for the first time since 2001.

The season's winding down. Will we see an Alabama-Texas championship or Florida-Alabama?

Pittsburgh-Denver though Denver just lost a game finally.
The Giants were told by their coach they have a one game season before the bye against San Diego today.
Houston - Indy. Jimmy, if you're going to be up there the Texans have to throw some rocks against the Colts and get this done. I'm definitely not taking the route that your guys can't do it. A least a season split with Indy.
Chicago - Cards. Beat those Cards Bears. The team that beat the EAGLES the last two seasons, give me an idea what's coming.

Philadelphia hosts the hated, hated Dallas tonight.

That sucked, the Dallas-EAGLES game. We could hear it in his voice: they brought a ref from Dallas it seemed. I was so busy I didn't catch Donovan's two turnovers. There were a couple 3rd and inches we didn't get. There was a bad spot. We lost all our challenges. At least Coughlin was right about his call. I think I still hate the Cowboys more than the Yankees but it's close. The Giants last week, wow, lots brewing recently. ]]> Sports Bar Leo C http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/sports-bar-18/58238-nfl-09-11-8-09-week.html SF Ultra Twister Trade In http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/park-ride-rumors-27/58229-sf-ultra-twister-trade.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:56:03 GMT Togo ultra twister : Roller Coasters : Used Amusement Park Rides for Sale : 1323 (http://www.italintl.com/detail_page.php?record_id=1323) Supposedly the Ultra Twister sitting at SFA was traded in.
