Jcoaster

Seems like it's moving along pretty well.

Great report Chuck. Think there is a chance we see some vertical construction before or during the park's holiday events?

This. Not in any order: Dudley Do-Rights - IOA Jurassic Park River Adventure - IOA The Simpson's Ride - Universal Orlando Thunder Creek Falls - Dorney Park Demon Drop - Dorney Park Dinosaur - Animal Kingdom Test Track - Epcot Pirates of the Caribbean - Magic Kingdom Escape from Pompeii - BGW Giant Canyon Swing - Glenwood Caverns

Fun and reliable rides? Yes. Chart toppers? I'm going to go with no. Intamin, RMC and Mack really have been pushing the envelope when it comes to coasters. What I'd like to see from B&M is a vertical lift looper with short trains and clamshell restraints....A man can dream right?

Your opinion is your opinion. But I whole heartedly disagree with it. Comet is nowhere near as good as Wild One. I would rank Wild One as way better than Hershey's Comet but not as good as The Great Escape's Comet.

Fixed that.

Welp, Roar is still closed.

Knoebels.

I can't believe you don't think SFA is ascetically pleasing. Are you saying you don't like 6+ coasters in a field of weeds next to each other?!

^ Rumor was it was going to be some sort of momument. Now I think its an exhibition showing the process of decomposition.

*Love Avalanche's theming. Who the hell doesn't love a good Avalanche in the middle of the Congo.

That great part about this is that its perfectly okay. I highly doubt the park mamagement sat in the board room hovering around the table saying, "What can we do it order to "wow" BlahBlahson?" KI is getting a huge coaster. Its "wow" worthy anytime a park gets such a large addition when they already have so many coasters. As for the " lunch coaster" mentioned a few posts back. I'll be on the first train out if they install one of those.

Looks like a great addition. I really need to get out to King's Island to ride this and the Beast at night.

It's not that nobody wants a coaster. I would like to see it as it is close for me. The truth is KD has just been stagnant since the I305 fiasco and likely has not yet seen much in the way of ROI. Cedar Fair's "Southeast Region" sees more potential in Charlotte than Richmond (and reasonably so) so for the time being KD is simply maintaining while money is getting pumped into parks and attractions that will bring in money. Tl:dr - The truth is I305 put an end to the KD glory days, for better or worse. Absolutely, this statement is spot on. King's Dominion will get new coasters in the future (It won't get the Dorney treatment). But don't expect ever to see anything on the scale of I305 ever again.

Looking forward to it Chuck. Anyone know what the word is when it comes to more "fan voting" about the ride?

Lot of new construction going on over at the InvadR site this past week. Looks like footers are being poured etc.

I second this. Batwing is awesome, ignore the haters.

Im staying in Baltimore for the weekend and already bought tickets to Yankees vs Orioles. I live 45 min from Gadv. Im gonna go to SFA. I can always go back next year need be. Just stay in the inner harbor and drink and ignore SFA. Remember these 3 things. Natty Boh, Orange Crushes, Old Bay Make those 3 things a part of everything you do in the Inner Harbor and you'll have an amazing weekend. Let's go O's. PS: At Camden Yards / Orange Crushes are called Camden Crushes and the thing they call an Orange Crush is an imposter. I'm a beer guy but trust me... Camden Crush right under the scoreboard on Eutaw Street. I've frequented the Inner Harbor for many years now. I'm partial to the Fell's Point area. We always take in a game and last year we did the Aquarium so this year we'll visit SFA. I have a season pass so its free anyhow. Natty Boh is amazing and I'll be throwing Old Bay on everything down there thats a rule.

Well sh*t, maybe I do have to cancel my 2016 visit.

Beverly Hillbilly's anyone?

So riding everything else and then go to Superman at 2 seems to be the plan.

*RMC for Roar* *Cancels 2016 trip* *Re-plans 2017 trip*

Wild One is awesome but it may kick your A$$ in a wheel seat. You've been warned. Ride in the middle row of any car. Will do. I remember the glorious painful airtime.
