It'll probably be 2016 (if they don't expand the water park next year, otherwise we could be looking at '17 or '18) before it happens, but Valleyfair! is still in desperate need of some inversions! The last coaster built with inversions was Corkscrew back in '80. Renegade was the last coaster built; in '07. I think the park has improved dramatically since then, but for a park with such a high percentage of it's visitors holding season passes, it's getting a bit stale.

Tayto Park Discussion Thread

Are there any major parks in Ireland? -
I'd argue that you've got it backwards. I'd start my day at IOA, but get over to USF by lunch and spend the majority of my day there. USF's must see attractions are Transformers, RotM, Rockit, Men In Black, Despicable Me, T2:3D, E.T., and Simpsons. Whereas IOA really only has Spidey, Potter, Hulk, Bluto, and Jurassic. Either way, you should be able to do everything in a day if you hurry and use single rider lines.

Ugh, Crossfit. Where they brag about doing 100 pull ups, but can't do more than 10 real ones. Where it's more about using your momentum than actually working your muscles. And don't get me started on the tube socks. A bunch of 30 and 40 somethings dressed like middle school girls. Never, never, never.

How feasible is it to put it upstairs in the arcade building? -

Don't know where that came from. I was just taking a jab at Disney for moving slow. -

Weird Coaster Facts
triggernel replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Who says it'd have to be Voyage sized? Make it more on the scale of Wooden Warrior, and I think you'd have a winner! Also, is that the company with the Giant Whip design on their site? That is something I'd like to see added to some parks. -

He did say his favorite Disney ride is Mission Space... That being said, Future World still has a loooooong way to go to really be something special like it used to. -
It's winter, so it's all about LL Bean Boots, Allen Edmonds Dalton Boots, and Red Wing 1907s.

New B&M lifts are almost silent... The spring loaded chain dogs take away any noise. -
I think there's one in the Games forum.

Ahh, one of the twelve people that saw the Lone Ranger. Bob Iger would be proud.

Can't tell if I'd enjoy being a character on a parade float or not, lol. Either way, looking forward to more! -
What area really needs a theme park?
triggernel replied to let1gre's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What about an area like Miami? Seems to be a large area with a decent population. Bit of a drive up to Orlando and Tampa, so why don't they have a park?
