Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
DJeXeL replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't know if they would invest a lot of money in the ride if they thought it wasn't going to smooth with floorless trains. Thank you. The people working on this are some of the best coaster designers and engineers in the world. Cedar Point wouldn't throw (presumably) millions of dollars at a coaster if those designers weren't confident that this would make it a better ride experience and those designers wouldn't take on a project that they felt would jeopardize their relationship with a company that's been one of their biggest customers for the last few years. These people know what they're doing... it's their job and they have an excellent reputation. Scream says "Hi." All joking aside, I do agree with Coasterbill and Prozach that CP and B&M are the experts and I believe Mantis....err Rougarou will be just fine with the floorless trains. -

Good thing those watermarks aren't obnoxious or anything....... -
How do you watch YouTube?
DJeXeL replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
80% of my TPR YouTube viewing is on my PC at work. 20% on my latest and greatest iPhone 6. Robb, I think it's great you value our opinion and are looking to optimize the user experience. You could easily just not give a sh*t. Luckily that is not the case. Keep up the good work! -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

There's always jokes to be made about Prowler...... -
It still is very popular. Heck, I've seen two hour waits during off-season weekends. I see no reason for converting it to floorless when it's already one of the best coasters at Magic Mountain (which doesn't say much, right ). While I agree Riddler's Revenge still has decent popularity, it's excessive waits are mostly due to horrible operations. ^Is it not true?

I would imagine CF purchased new trains. SF should purchase the Mantis trains from CF and use them for parts for Riddler's and Green Lantern. -

^Correct. It's there for their maintenance team to inspect the LSMs/track. -

It should breathe new life into the coaster. Assuming they will run 3 trains? -

^I agree. While I absolutely love RSR, it could have been "more." The speed aspect doesn't bother me as much as how much longer it could have been.

Photo TR - Cedar Point opening HalloWeekends 18

Excellent report! Thanks for sharing. Intamin's programmers put in a button that has to be pressed every 24hrs in order for the ride to start. This ensures that the lift gets inspected daily.
