Apparently this ride will use a different system of lap bar compared to Iron Shark (Screamscape thinks it might be because of different restrictions). Looks similar to the Mack restraints Source: coasterfriends.de

I can only imagine what it would be like if the train was full of big people. Or if you put six on the left side of the train and one kid on the right. Hmmm... I think next month TPoRlando should do a whole experiment day on White Lightning.

Thanks to Robb, Fox and Fun Spot for setting up the film shoot this morning, and getting us all cool stuff. After 16 rides White Lightning is definitely a winner: speed, airtime, and a great crew . RipCurl, even though its apparently been slowed down a bit, is still crazy, especially after three straight rides. Go Karts were fun with never ending laps, food was great, and the staff was nice and friendly. Come check out Fun Spot's grand opening on June 8, where wristbands are only $15, and you can buy up to six of them per person to use in the future.

So for those who have been on it how would you rank it compared to the other GCI's?

^Because 90% of their revenue comes from people that like gimmicks, and not g forces. Otherwise every park would have an intamin megalite.

Do you know if they'll be keeping it open, or if it will just be a soft opening? If it stays open I hope to make it over to Orlando on Friday. As a side note, on Fun Spot's new site, what does the second promotion do? It's not quite clear. http://www.funspotattractions.com/pricing/online-coupons/

^That's exactly what I was thinking. You leave either park to get on the train, and when you get to the other side you may either enter the other park, or get back in the line that will take you back (where you can then reenter the park you departed from).

I would love to but...school.

If I had to pick one it would be Mummy (USF). Lately they've been having the full que open, (which would probably be a 3 hr. wait if full), when waits only get up to 30-35 min. We just use the single rider line in the morning; so much shorter.

^According to RCDB there will be four trains.

^So has the Screaming Swing been scrapped? Or it will it just appear at some point in the future?

^On the arm in the background they're the diagonal plates. We're only seeing the back of them.

It says on the link that you don't receive a ride on Gatekeeper of Top Thrill Dragster with regular Fast Lane, unless I'm just reading it wrong. However, I'm in full support for this decision. I have a good feeling Cedar Fair knows what they're doing.

Interesting decision. I like the idea, but I do think $80-$90 is a bit overpriced. However, I think this is the perfect decision for Gatekeeper, as it won't be flooded with Fast Lane guests, but if you want to skip the line you do have the option. Also, why is Firehawk one of the top attractions at Kings Island?

Just wondering if anyone else had heard anything about this, but RCDB says that there will be a third coaster at Fun Spot. Any ideas? http://rcdb.com/10346.htm

Steel Eel at Sea World San Antonio (3 times in a row). Virtually no one in the park that day.

^^^I didn't believe you at first, but according to this source you were right about the pricing. (9-10 Million USD) Source: http://politiken.dk/turengaartil/rejsenyt/bedste_vaerste/ECE1120481/toer-du-proeve-nordens-nye-rutsjebanegys/ However, when looking at rides that have similar price tags (Outlaw Run, NTAG), you can tell why these will probably never become popular: they don't have enough marketability.

Just received Australian and UK park maps, a ton of New Fantasyland stuff, and a mystery DVD from the Bag of Crap I won for participating in Mitch's Poll. With everyone who participated in that and all the regular contests you do on Facebook every day I wasn't expecting to receive one, yet here it is. Thank you TPR for being awesome.

So it's only going to be 30 seconds long, but it will be 30 seconds of awesome OMG WTF moments. I wanna go back to living 5 min. away from this place.

Ended up being Cheetah Hunt for me.

^I imagine it will help with capacity too. So happy Fiesta Texas is finally getting an airtime machine.

Now a mute point with Iron Rattler being built, but I always thought a mega-lite would fit nicely back there. (A custom one anyway).

Bump.
