^In that case, I'd like a Manhattan, please.

If anyone is interested, Riptide is now completely gone. All that remains is the queue, Dispatch Booth, and an empty fountain.

We're not going to see paint on Nitro until we first start seeing rust... That's really the only reason to paint it...
Hasn't the rust already started?

Well, Boomerang looks purty, anyway. Fair of face, but foul of temper.
CFC. I see you have met my wife
Safe to assume she's not a member of the forums?

Picture of the 1st train has been posted on Mack's Twitter account.

Not surprised at all by this. Riptide was a fun ride to both ride and operate but it has been a maintenance nightmare since day 1. I wonder when it will start to get dismantled.

Love the lead car of the trains! Looks menacing.

Shoot the Rapids at Cedar Point is coming down.

Have you been using the aforementioned Black Forest?
Yo brony dude, pass that ish over. It's Friday, homie.

Defunct rides are what DarienLaker's wet dreams are made of.

PHILA. FOP MOVES PICNIC FROM DORNEY PARK AFTER TREATMENT OF EMPLOYEE
Thursday, February 11, 2016 08:56AM
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police President John McNesby announced Wednesday the union's annual summer picnic will not be held at Dorney Park as it has been the past four years.
And it's all because of the park's treatment of former employee Chris Emery.
Emery, a 12-year employee of the park who has special needs, was initially told he would not be re-hired because of his performance during a new interview process. Park management later apologized and reversed the decision.
Emery was offered his job back at the amusement park for a 13th year, but he declined.
The story went viral and resonated with people across the country, including the FOP.
McNesby says what happened was unthinkable, telling Action News the FOP's annual picnic hosts 4,000 people and costs about $250,000.
When asked where the picnic will be held this year, McNesby says, "Anywhere else that will take and support kids with disabilities."
Mike Fehnel, the Allentown park's general manager, has said the company respects and values all of their workers.

I havent heard AquaTrax yet
You beat me to it. Here comes the 500ft Aquatrax Polercoaster that goes in to Lake Erie...
Sign me up!

Too bad they didn't build an Mack water coaster, but now they have the chance to in the future.
That would've been a great idea. Mack Watercoasters are fairly reliable.
I think most people, deep in their hearts, know that Dinosaurs Alive was a horrible idea from the get go.Glad to hear that.

Am I the only one that thinks Dinosaurs Alive was a horrible idea from the get go?

Definitely a shame as shoot the rapids was a decent attraction albeit it did have its fair share of maintenance issues.
Cue "Intamin Hater" bandwagon in 3.....2.....1.....
I like the Intamin coasters in the park plenty. STR though? Awful. How do you build a log flume that can't float in the 21st century when randoms were able to figure it out in the 1920s?
"Randoms"
You know its true. Lake Winnie's log flume predates penicillin. It ain't rocket science.

If you plan on spending the entire day there, you won't need Fast Lane.

^I'm 100% sure my post was soaked in sarcasm.

Honest question: Why does everyone care if headrests are there or not?
I don't mind them too much, but they rattle, block the view of the track in front of you, and they increase the drag on the trains.
Understood. Thanks.
Just because something is no longer used an an eyesore that takes away from your experience doesn't mean they're going to remove it. -

^ No alcohol has ever been served in Disneyland. At DCA, though, that's a different story.
With exception of Club 33.

Fahrenheit has grown on me. I didn't care for it at first, but it was running very well during the Mini East Coast Trip.
Same here. My favorite part is the very nice pop of air just before the turn into the brakes. My only gripe is that it's low capacity.
-
Fantastic report. Hershey Park is one of my favorite parks. Fahrenheit is great coaster that I think is heavily underrated. Love this shot.

Great report!! The operators will probably play rock, paper, scissors to see who has the pleasure of walking to the MCBR to do Set-Up testing every morning...
