Man, for a bunch of people who probably only went there once, rode the crappy coaster once for the credit, left 30 minutes after they got there and never had any intention of going back these enthusiasts are sure fired up about this. Again, I liked the place and this is unfortunate but the way to convince them to keep the dry park open was to actually go there and spend money when it was open. That ship has sailed. I’ll never understand the point of these kinds of petitions. This is the park on the Ohio river that gets devastating floods every so many years, too. That can't help with costs either. What was worth saving and petitioning was their funky giant wooden-coaster looking pair of slides called the Zoom Floom. That was really unique and tons of fun. http://coneyislandcentral.com/recent-defunct-rides/zoom-flume/

There is a difference between writing about it on TPR and filling out a comment card/letting the park know. -

I'm glad it opened and you got to experience Untamed! It looks really great. Goliath is still very alluring..it looks great and I might be in the minority that likes its current color scheme over the original. -

Phoenix is legit! It's really wild in the rain, too. It's amazing how it's so consistent - first rides of the day or last of the night it's fantastic. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

Kings Island takes a lot of pride in their Haunt, so if there isn't anything new offered this year I hope they just focus on adding more details to the current line up and packing them with as many actors as much as possible.

I think it's much more Story Telling COASTER than Gringott's is. I mean, Gringott's BARELY counts as a coaster. Just that strip of Guardians track that was exposed before it was covered up is proof that this will be WAY more of a coaster than Gringott's All of these updates look incredible. So many updates! I'm aiming to visit WDW in 2020 and Epcot has been climbing the ranks on my 'anticipated parks' list.

Photo Trip Report: Cedar Point 8/14

Great photos! Millennium still manages to be special in a park crowded with excellent coasters. What changed my view on it was a front seat ride. Wow. Day or night it's epic! -

This is my favorite post of the day. This is what it says on why he was banned when he logs back into the forum: "Banned for being an asshole. Let me make it clear... You are NOT being banned for "having an opinion", you are being banned for being an asshole." Is that your new favorite post of the day? It's my favorite. -

First of its kind? Then it's gotta be with a drop taller than the lift/heighest point for sure. It's a lame 'first of' but I think it makes sense. -

The other teaser that was just released: Eiffel Tower will no longer have the longest 'drop' in the park next year. -
The eye blinking/movement on Mickey and Minnie is just SO cool! Great update, I like the layout and look of the place. I'm sure it will be crowded on hot days. The Orlando Magic did pretty well last year and have playoff hopes again this year so I could see them tying in player appearances/events/promotions there throughout the year.

Gröna Lund Discussion Thread

A custom invert at Gröna Lund...this will probably be one of the best out there since it's Gröna Lund! Can't wait to see it take shape. -

One of the teasers is that Diamondback will no longer be the longest steel coaster at KI. Diamondback: Length 5,282 ft (1,610 m) Other similar 300+ft coasters: Leviathan: Length 5486 feet i305: Length 5100 feet Final predictions? Are we going to see something crazy like a launched lift hill? First cable lift by B&M? A drop track? Will crazy KI superfans storm the stage if it's not over 300ft but still has a 300ft drop? Vest restraints? 48 trims?! -
Great report! I happen to be heading to Ocean City this weekend and I was curious about what rides and coasters I'd see out there so this is a great recap. I'm more of a beach guy and have 0 nostalgia tied to this place so although the Flitzer looks tempting I doubt I'll go out of my way for any of these little parks.

Guy, it's all subjective. To the vast majority of theme park goers Copperhead fits that to a tea. If you're a well traveled park visitor and you took that literally expecting i305 or Skyrush you played yourself. Also you're quoting a press release. They're not going to say 'This coaster has decent speed, gives you mild tummy tickles, and goes upside down and has 2 launches but don't let that trick you into thinking it's our Maverick' -

It's definitely noticeable in the back of the train wing seats (12, 14, 16), not as noticeable in the inner seats (13, 15) and it's been like that since it opened in 2009. For some reason the bottom of the drop coming out of the turnaround going up into the trim brake hill is the worst part. It's like you're going through gravel I suggest riding in 13 or 15 next time. Personal faves: row 2 for the hangtime over the first drop on the outer seats, row 10 for a good blend of middle and back, and then either 15 or 16 for the whip over the drops.
