I can't believe this ride is real. It looks like the best of the best. -
Appreciate the restaurant tips! I'll know where to avoid next visit. Generally, I just drink water (or beer) and wait to eat outside the Six Flags/CF parks. Can't really eff up a beer! I would have had a heart attack seeing Millennium get stuck on the lift. I don't think I've seen it in person, but I thought that's an automatic dead for the day/season instance with that cable lift. Glad it was just temporary! -Zach

Title explains it all! Snapchat is a great way to see videos and pictures of your friends, favorite artists/musicians, and now...theme parks! Parks often use their social handles to share new attraction info, tease future projects, and so on. Walibi did this with Lost Gravity, and Kings Island is teasing 2017 info. But not all parks have done a good job highlighting what their handle is. Kings Island - kingsislandpr Six Flags Great America - sfgreatamerica What's your park's snapchat?

I can't think of any other new ride where people are watching unofficial social media accounts for legitimate updates. I haven't been stalking any of the accounts that people post, but are there really confirmed riders? Sure there are pictures of people in the station, but aren't they just to get attention? I'm beyond skeptical at this point. Just wait for an opening date to be announced. It's no surpise that this coaster is going to be great. We know it will be phenom. What, who's waiting for someone to report the ride is mediocre? Lmao. -
I saw on SFGAm's snapchat today that the ride will open May 28th and found an announcement below: Published on May 11, 2016 Be the first to experience the world's best new ride! JUSTICE LEAGUE: Battle for Metropolis is an interactive 4D thrill ride that has been voted "Best New Product" by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions is opening to the world on May 28!

Honestly, I can't believe the pizza made it to you guys after hearing about the massive back ups on the causeway. They need to make an emergency lane that allows pizza drivers to bypass everything! Glad to hear you got on Dragster. I'm thankful/lucky/blessed/idk that I've not had issues with the ride being down when I'm there, but I understand the struggle is real. Was it a bad investment if you still have most riders coming off the ride mind blown? Debatable. I agree there's nothing else like it - especially in the front seat.

Great report! Can't wait to read more. I also have not been to CP since 2013, so it's refreshing to see some new paint and attention to certain areas. Valravn's plaza is gorgeous and really opens up a previously less explored part of the park. Totally agreed about Millennium - I was worried it wasn't going to be as good as I remembered! Wrong..it was still fantastic.

Goliath has been high on my 'wish list' ever since I learned about theme parks outside of Ohio. It looks stellar! Thanks for the photos. -Zach -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Any chance you want to pass whatever you're smoking over here? Because Trapper Keeper's hill is just no. It's funny that there are two prime examples of a coaster with ejector air in the park (Maverick or Magnum) and still people throw out ridiculous comparisons. -

A coaster without a kyew just takes away from the experience. I can't believe they are adding such an in depth experience before a ride that isn't even open. The Q looks like it will tell a picture book style story, but nothing compared to Banshee's que. That's an authentic real IRL experience that will make you get the feels, fam. When you walk into the que and see that eternal burning flame that immortalizes Son of Beast it's so authentic that no one can hold tears back. That has to be the definition of big time game. Men, women, children will put down their Banshee ice cream and pour out some Banshee brew out of respect of the eternal flame of the Son. It is fun to compare this que to that que, but this is really just disrespectful to Son of Beast. Let's also not forget that Carmen Electra graced the grounds of Kings Island and ensured everything opened on time. Maybe it's time this park gets a Latin singer. I'm more optimistic than that Guy, but let's be realistic here everyone please some things need to be taken serious -

Looks great! The lighting is pretty damn cool. Hoping to ride my first vertical drop coaster this summer. -

I've never been to Vegas, and it's never been high on my list but all the tips and photos give a great perspective on the city! Valley of Fire looks beautiful. Looking forward to to more photos and story! -Zach -

Use to when saw a new post in this thread I would think it was an update on lighting rod. . . But nope, just more of these stupid pictures. Disclaimer! You need a sense of humor to view our site, if you don't have a sense of humor, or are easily offended, please turn back now! I'm all for updates with testing and stuff, but this is hilarious. -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
PKI Jizzman replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've only been to HW in May and June. Every visit, Voyage is running the same and it's one of my favorite coasters. I haven't had a rough ride on it at all. Yes, it's incredibly intense and an endurance test due to the long layout, but I've never experienced rough rides that I've seen reports in later in the season. Legend looks great! -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
PKI Jizzman replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'd love to see the ride refreshed, expecially with a unique theme and not just random characters added around the station. It's one of my least favorite flumes because the log barely floats. Your log is usually riding on the trough the whole ride. It's pretty rough, actually. As much as I love flumes, I'd rather see something new there. I don't think it will be replaced with different flats, though. I'm guessing it'll be upgraded. The park doesn't need any more smaller coasters or medium sized coasters. The line up is already diverse and you've got a little bit of everything for everyone. -

I can recommend Chicago bars based on olive love. Swing by. Great review. You really mirror my first impressions, but I believed Shockwave was way better than Mind Eraser. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
PKI Jizzman replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
No he hasn't He was right about CP's dive coaster, Dollywood's woodie, Carowinds' giga, etc. long before any major rumors. And quite honestly he has more credibility than you or I do. LOL, I'm sorry, I just spit water all over my computer screen. Yes he made those claims, but only after they were heavily rumored and/or discussed on every major coaster forum on the internet. His predictions that don't follow already established rumors are almost always wrong. Sorry to kill your fanboy love for Coaster Studios and his "quality" content, but the guy piggybacks off of rumors that everyone already knows about, and then feeds it to his 10 year old fans who haven't stumbled upon a decent source of information other than him. Seconed. If you want real inside info, just go talk to the park specific theme park nerds. -

What's so crazy insane? Am I missing something? Looks like good speed to finish out the circuit, but it's not going ballstothewall into the brake run. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
PKI Jizzman replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What's there to "test"? There have been many RMC's in the past few years, and all of them are wildly original with only a few errors on their record. The only reason I don't see Cedar Fair putting in a RMC is loosely based on Matt Outmit's quote: “I don’t want you to be so scared that you don’t want to ride it again,” Ouimet said. RMC walks on that fine line with each coaster It was extremely entertaining listening to the comments from folks when I was at Silver Dollar City. People are genuinely scared of Outlaw Run! ...while others love it. -

It's not just 2015, there have been many years where: -the ride wasn't open for months waiting on parts -didn't rotate on the way up for a season There have been a couple times where, I don't know how to explain it other than the cables that pull the carriage up to the top are tangled. I've had pictures of it before, I'll try to find one. Eh, here's a quote from the 2012 season. Same thing happened in 2014. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
PKI Jizzman replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Here's why you shouldn't listen to birds. Kings Island has one of the best front gates of any park. A gate coaster isn't going to happen here. Some guy named Matt said the same thing. I know Matt O's been quoted, but he's not going to spill the plans to the LA Times. DirkFunk knows what he's talking about, so you guys should give him more credit. -

Yikes, that's news I haven't heard before. I trust your posts, though I'm very nervous to hear about Drop Zone! That tower is incredible. I have fond memories of Vortex...but not in the past 5 years. That thing needs to go
