Knowing Busch, one these will be heading to a Seaworld Entertainment Park. (Please BGW) This is a very interesting ride. Can't wait to see it develop. Also, does anybody think that B&M will use the regular B&M restraint or a newer, soft restraint? 'EDIT: Will this have a Water Splash? -

Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

^^ I've never ridden the Voyage so cannot make a opinion on your opinion, but... Was it hot outside? At KD, If it is above 90 degrees I won't touch any of KD's woodies. Rebel Yell has been at its smoothest in years but I will jackhammer you to death if its 95 degrees outside. Also, Did the train feel like it was rolling funny? I know on Grizzly that the Orange train didn't do to well with its rehab in the offseason. Its not connecting to the track correctly or the wheels aren't lining up, IDK, but it is producing some terribly rough rides. The yellow train is just fine though. Just curious. -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

^ My bet is on GCI... why? 1) They are cheap. 2) Easy to maintain (otherwise why would smaller parks like Toverland and Beech Bend buy these things) 3) Easy to build in compact/crowded areas. 4) CF has a working relationship with GCI (I plan to see 3 to 4 more GCI woodies coming to CF parks) 5) TGG is kinda already anounced their lineup of constrcution projects next year.( HV Wuhan, Quassy, 2012 Morey's Pier?) 6) An Intamin pre-fab I would wager would be kinda expensive/expriemental...(not something CF is looking to invest in (STR,I305)) -

Grizzly is an acquired taste... You must also know that the coaster is not worth riding when the orange train is on the circuit. Yellow train has been giving its best rides in YEARS! Rebel Yell has not been running well in the heat I might add. Been rearranging my back allot. I will admit Dominator has been suffering some B&M Rattle. More than it has in the past. I have to brace my self in the Interlocking corkscrews. -
^ That happened to Intimidator. Your new drop tower could be down allot for high winds too since the park is practically a few miles from the river and it winding winds. Also, I've ridden Griffon during HoS when the surface temperature was 45 degrees. After locking us into the restraint, and giving us the all clear, he said with an evil grin, "I hope you enjoy your ride, there's a wind chill of about 35 degrees at the top of the lift....*evil laugh*" I guess he was in character for HoS. LOL. It was cold. I was so glad to be back on the ground.

^ You must have found Wildcat on a bad day... Grizzly with Orange Train, Hurler in general, Rebel Yell in the Heat, MEAN STREAK!

I don't think year round would be practical. They may be considering the idea of going to year-round after the extreme popularity of Christmastown... BUT, The January to March period would be a money wasting stretch. BGE doesn't have winter attractions. I think the operating schedule they are currently using is quite effective. (March-October) (Late November-Late December)
