Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

There are much more efficient solutions than that... -
Wasn't he like 2 rows back? Would he have actually been able to see it and if so how did he know to look? I am calling BS on his tweets. The fact that he called it a "restraint" and the fact that he actually sounded like a somewhat intelligent human being gives me a little faith in his story. Much more faith than the click lady. Just because he was two rows back doesn't mean he wouldn't or couldn't have seen exactly what happened. That and the fact that he actually seemed genuinely disgusted by what he witnessed (and has now locked his twitter account), I would be much more willing to b

Walibi Belgium Discussion Thread
SoCalCoasters replied to Dark Vampire's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
And it was honestly worth the wait! The re-do looks absolutely fantastic. This really was a great way to bring the coaster into the modern age and now it looks to be one of the best indoor coasters out there! I actually like the way the launch works now, and it actually fits in with the storyline which is kind of fun. -
Lone Ranger This movie could not decide what it was, where it wanted to go or what it wanted to be. I really wanted to enjoy it but I just couldn't get past the bizarre and continuing tone shifts. You'd go from scenes of Indian slaughter to Depp and Hammer griping at one another, to scenes of people's hearts being eaten, to these bizarre and out of place comic relief sections. The finale as a whole felt a silly and frivolous romp with all the seriousness leading up to it dropped in favor of the classic carefree craziness without consequence. There were also several characters and

They're both Canadian so they both win. -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread

Merlin has one of the cleverest marketing departments in any amusement company. When they saw the rumor about the rotating track piece and how much hype it was generating without their involvement, a simple picture of the ride with the area in question omitted was like a spark to a keg of dynamite. It was a brilliant move that gave them a lot of free advertising and public awareness than they would have otherwise had. They let that hype run its course and then die down far before the opening. Stunts like the sheep and posters were soon talked about instead. -
Being a Teen Ride Enthusiast?
SoCalCoasters replied to ultradude306's topic in Random, Random, Random
I've never really had an issues with being a teenager and enjoying theme parks. In fact, most of the time I usually end up helping people plan trips and telling them about all the new and upcoming attractions. Since I've entered high school I've gone away from most of the "enthusiast" components and instead focused on making my passion for theme parks into a viable career. This may seem a bit odd, but throughout most of these enthusiast communities I haven't found much in the way of "here's some viable ways for you to land a job in your field of interest". In fact, even on this site, -
^Awesome! I was loving all the pictures on FB of the game centers being chock full of Nintendo rather Microsoft. I'm not quite progressing as fast as everyone else due to a National Championship I'm training for, but my town is slowly coming together. Timmy and Tommy's store is closing tomorrow for the first remodel and I'm about to make a second bridge for my town. Still trying to acquire Regal and Steiped furniture so if anyone has some, I'm willing to make a deal. Also, I believe someone was interested in Blue Furniture? I acquired a blue bed recently.

I'm going to open my gates if anyone wants to stop by! Town Fruit is Pears, so if you have another kind, bring some. And it's raining! (Hint hint) Gates closed. Had to cut it short due to router issues. I'll be on later tonight if anyone will be open. And if you have any Regal Furniture or Wallpaper/Flooring, I'm buying.

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

-Unpainted tracks appears outside B&M Plant -Oh look it must be for KI This happened when the Green Track for Heide Park was still at the plant too. I think we should wait a little longer before assuming it's heading for KI. -

I believe in the end the only chances that were made were slight, aside from the addition of the "blastin'" figure. In an interview with Season Pass Podcast Garner Holt actually talks about how they want to do a lot more but weren't able to at the time because of the limited budget. I would also guess that the artwork and conceptual drawings are once again being brought out.
