Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Feel it might be a slide for the water park like what Kings island got. Or finally the Aqua track we have been talking about since 2002 -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Hopefully we get more answers on what all they need to do. Wonder if some track modifications will need to be done or more supports added. Someone pointed out that the track sways on the front top hat after the train goes up, and that is completely normal. But questions if it was originally engineered to have the train repeatedly go up back down then back up again. I mean when the train before would roll back that wasn't a quick process to get it back to the launch and reset. In my head makes some sense but I am far from an engineer. I know the train is a big part of this but wonder if there is much bigger issues coming to light now. -
Aqua Shoe vs Aqua Sock

Good luck with all that. Hopefully they let you wear what ever you ended up buying.. 90/60 is really low. All three of those things are bad. Just depends on how much you value your life on how much you give up. All this is okay in small amounts. once a week or once ever other week, so for a meal or a afternoon. -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
thepoint4life23 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This was how i felt on my trip to Holiday World. I was on Voyage and as much as i enjoyed the ride I just wish the rest of my family could of rode with me. I just got off as quickly as i could to meet back up with them in the kids place so i could watch my daughter ride the Canoes over and over -
This looks like a fun ride. I felt like this Six flags always gets rides done sooner, but now thinking about it they did just open the giant swing like a month ago. I guess i should wait to plan my first trip till after may or they have a more defiant opening date. I am planning to go next year but Zach report I just read from last summer scares me alittle.

Will be interesting to see if this will be part of where a project for 2026 will be. The land going back towards the MF island has so space for something pretty big. -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

After years of talking about it finally made it out to Holiday World. First thing I notice that I must of missed some place along the line is how hilly this place is. Not that big of an issue for me as I'm pretty fit but pushing a stroller up the hills just makes for a little more work. Good Gravy is a great family coaster with great theme in the line. Felt this was a pretty big jump for my daughter but she loved it . Legend is still a top level wood Coaster. Voyage is a pretty amazing roller coaster. Wish i could of got more rides on it but with really slow dispatch and trying to split time with my family and coaster it was one ride on the big coasters for me. I know I made a mistake and went on a Saturday in July but that's really the only way it worked out for me this time. The water park is a pretty wild place. I just don't know if I could wait 1 and a half to two hours for a water slide. The food lines are pretty out of control in the water park also. The little kids pool with all the slides was to the point that it was almost unsafe. Saw so many kids running up slides or cant really swim with parents not even around. Good Job to those Lifeguards, After my ride on Voyage I get why so many people want to go to the special night event they have, the woody's would be pretty epic in the dark. If and when I go back again if its not a week day in may or June i will probably just pay for a VIP tour. Doesn't seem like to bad a a price for what all you get. For a park that gives out free drinks I was impressed with how many stands they had for them. . it was nice to grab a water at pretty much everyone I saw as I passed. The kids rides are pretty spread out or hidden if you don't know where your going. I see my self going back but it will be a few years till everyone is tall enough to ride the bigger rides per a request from my daughter. Here is the one thing that worry's me and I could be the only one who thinks this way, but if they get one more top tier Coaster or grows more popular they might get to big for there own good. The park was busy but still manageable I just felt like you add a 1000 or so more people it would just be to a point that they could almost not handle it. -
Went to Kentucky Kingdom last Friday. This is not a bad park really its nice for the size and location. Park was clean staff was friendly. The thing I have leaned with now having two little kids is the kids areas in parks. Stuff I would of just walked right past before. They didn't have a tone of kids rides but enough to keep my daughters entertained most the afternoon, She loved the roller skater. Storm Chaser and Lighting Run are both solid rides, and Kentucky Flyer is a great little Wood Coaster. The back part with Storm Chaser almost seems abandoned, some flowers or some theming might help bring this part of the park back to life. I don't see me going back for a few years unless they build something new and worth going back for. Hopefully this Park lives to see many more years.

You stop at guest services when you get to the park. Two or 3 people wait in line when you exit the ride you give a ride hose the book they mark it and you hand that too the non riders and they go up the exit show the booklet and they let them ride. I would figure that's how they do it since they do it at cedar point and Kings island. They can most likely meet you at the exit.

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

People on the ride said they hit a deer or some kind of animal. I get it you want to get home but waiting 2 more hours would of been fine.
