We knew it was going to be an invert. Even knowing this, I am just not impressed. Really getting tired of B&M. It would have been nice to see something from Intamin go up at KI. Just my opinion. I am sure it will be a fun ride, but the only thing that stands out to me is the in line roll. I don't mind that one element being dragged out like it is on this coaster. Everything else looks fine and typical of a B&M. Oh, the drop looks good too. I forgot about that until right now.

Agreed on USH. You NEED the front of line pass. And you HAVE to get it either online in advance or the second you get to the park in the morning. It sells out most every night. Same thing for knotts. The maze lines are ridiculous and you'll need the front of line pass. Get there early or buy it online in advanced. If they offer trapped again this year, get your time slot reserved as soon as you arrive at the park. It is a great maze. Lots of fun and worth the extra money in my opinion! You'll have fun. Find a group to go with if you can. We made friends at the park in the bar and went with those people

This looks awesome. Been investigating pricing and whatnot. I want to go... and go big when I do. So I am wanting one of the ocean view rooms with veranda. Looking at docking off from one of the ports in Florida and doing the Caribbean cruise 7 nights like what you have done. Hoping for early next year to make it happen. The ship looks absolutely beautiful. I really appreciate all the photos and information you are sharing because it does help people like me who are looking into actually doing it in the near future see what all there is to see and do on board!!

So, a couple things. First, Harper. You're going to LOVE FastLane+ that was the smartest thing we did, and I won't hit CP again without it. Secondly, expect lines even during the early entry for GK. EVERYONE rushes there immediately. I would almost recommend just waiting until Sunday when you have the FL+ and you'll literally only wait like 15 minutes max. Now, just wanted to express a few things. I just moved from California to Ohio, and since we had not time constraints for the drive, we hit SFFT and SFOT and got to ride Iron Rattler, New Texas Giant, and GateKeeper on our way to our final destination. Of all three new coasters, GK was the least exciting. I couldn't quite compare GateKeeper to anything, so I didn't, but as soon as we hit the brakes, my partner and I looked at each other and said,"we'll that was underwhelming..." The ride looks so epic, and it looks like such a fun ride, but the overall experience is just nothing special. It wasn't force less, as some are saying, but after riding in the front and the back, we couldn't quite figure out why we weren't enjoying it. It was comfortable and everything. All was there for a great ride, but I feel as though it was a miss. The keyhole wasn't even an exciting element. It sucks because I want to love the ride so badly. Even the GP throughout the day in other lines didn't think the ride was very exciting. All in all, good ride, just not very exciting. After the first drop and the inversion immediately after, the rides excitement does off. So, there are my feelings lol

CoasterMania! is a private event for Coaster Clubs. Here is a link to the CoasterMania! website. https://www.cedarpoint.com/rides/Calendar-of-Events/CoasterMania

Anyone here hitting up CoasterMania? I missed it last year, but GOING THIS YEAR!!! So excited!

So just out of curiosity, I need some help from all of you that are familiar with Fiesta Texas! I am moving to Ohio from California(There are a few reasons there, but mainly family) and we are going out of the way to San Antonio just so we can do Iron Rattler. We will be there on Monday June 3rd. How should we come at this park? I was considering getting the Gold Pass as well since we will be able to enter early and get ahead in the line for Rattler. Thoughts? Any help will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks guys!

I'm not sure that anyone would object to you having an opinion. I'm just not sure what this link is supposed to prove. So RMC considers some of their builds wood/hybrid/steel. What does that have to do with Gravity Group and Hades 360? And not to try to be mean about your opinion, but I have to disagree. Hades is very much a wooden roller coaster; it meets all of the basic criteria for a wooden roller coaster, the least of which being a completely wooden track. I don't want to dig really deeply into this, but I am curious as to why you developed an opinion that Hades 360 is a hybrid wooden/steel roller coaster. I did a lot of research online. I looked on several websites and everywhere that I have looked define a hybrid roller coaster by having different structural material from track material. I saw someone had said that hybrid was a term six flags had come up with, but it isn't. Coaster design companies also consider Hybrid coasters to have one structure material, and a different track material. So I guess I don't understand how just the track is the deciding factor for what kind of roller coaster. I thought it was decided by the roller coaster as a whole!?

I think I will get banned from the site for this, which is sad because I should be allowed to have my own opinion here, and anyone is free to disagree with it. However, there has been a lot of talk on youtube around the Hades video and whether or not it is infact a wooden coaster, or a hybrid. Well, I just have to share a link that shows that Rocky Mountain Construction as a company does identify even some of their roller coasters as Hybrid. I feel Hades is a hybrid, others may agree, and others may not. I am not a moron for thinking this, I am not stupid for thinking this. I have an opinion. If you cut any of us, we bleed red. We are all entitled to our own thoughts and opinions, and this is a public place. Here is the link. http://www.rockymtnconstruction.com/rollercoasters/roller_coasters.html

To answer your questions: First, I would recommend a fast lane, the one that includes Gatekeeper and TTD. The reason behind that suggestion is that, though you can get all rides done in two days, I can guarantee you will want to re-ride and not wait in the lines. The coasters are great at CP! Must do coasters: GK, TTD, Maverick, Mellenium Force, Magnum XL, Raptor, Wicked Twister. I would head to TTD first, get it out of the way, I hear GK has better capacity. Things to try: MaXair; I freakin love that ride. Shoot the rapids is kinda fun, Sky Hawk; I'm a sucker for the giant swings. Satellite Tower in Challenge Park is one of my favorite rides. I do it every time I go. Power Tower; skip if you don't have time. It's no different than any other free fall tower. Also, iron Dragon isn't terrible. It's kind of tucked in the trees. Those are my suggestions. Hope it helped!!

Feels good knowing we made this happen! Can NOT wait until September rolls around for this game to come out! I went and bought a PC specifically for this. Obviously I am excited lol. Not only did it get funded, but last I looked we were at 103% funding! That is awesome!

When it comes down to AT&T or Verizon, it really comes down to what works the best for you. The facts are that AT&T has better rates, and yes, you can browse the web while on a phone call. Verizon can do that too, as long as you are connected to WiFi. Verizon is more expensive, but has better coverage, faster LTE service, and better customer service. So again, it just comes down to what works best for you individually. In my opinion, if you can browse the net and talk on the phone, you should really mainly do it somewhere with WiFi, I would certainly hope that people are not doing that walking down the sidewalk, or driving. Also, you can consider the options of Sprint and T-Mobile. These are not the favorites, but they are still 2 of the biggest carriers in the country. And they do offer the correct solution for many many people.

Just started playing the new SimCity as well! It is amazing. I lost track of time playing and next thing I knew it was 5:30 a.m. Definitely worth the buy! They have also reduced the crashing! I have not had a problem at all. I can't figure out how to create a successful Casino City though, Definitely have to get more tourists in my city.

I have got to go to this theme park! So many excellent coasters! Am I wrong or did I count nine inversions in one of the pictures!?

I know not to double post, but it has been 3 months now since anyone has said anything. What is the status? Any further updates? Thanks

The park looks really great. I usually don't care much for the timeline aspect but this is really interesting to keep up with. It is a beautiful park! Mind sharing an above view to show the layout? Cyrus

Well, we went to Disneyland and California Adventure on Sunday the 13th. We rode Screamin' first.

What path cover sets are you using in this? What other css, ctr, and cfr could you recommend? Thank you!

What path CS set are you using? And Where did you find the boomerang ctr? Thanks a ton in advanced!

You don't need to put a lift on the second hill. The coaster should have enough momentum to just hit the second incline, reverse direction, and continue backwards through the circuit.

I am so excited for this coaster. I really haven't been excited about a B&M in a long time! But this is really going to be an awesome coaster and awesome experience!

Here's the thing. Apps in the android market do not go through screening. Apple screens each one. This helps avoid negative software getting into the device. iPhone has security built in, just like all of Apples other products... Android does not. Not to mention.... Panoramic pictures, touching devices to share data, etc etc have been on the iPhone for a long time. Applications. They may not be standard features, but that's what is great about having the largest app market. There really is an app for everything. The other half of it is... Glass and plastic or glass and aluminum. Quality parts. That's the other part. The only android phone that sticks out, in my opinion, is the galaxy S3. Better camera for sure. Enables better pictures at night as well. The iPhone isn't great at that. The camera needs improving. But that's just about it. You gotta look back too. The iPhone was the first of its kind. Android wouldn't be here today, or where it has advanced to without the competition of the iPhone. Just my thoughts.

Really looking forward to buying this game as well. I am literally buying a PC specifically for this game lol. Just out of curiosity, this still wouldn't work on a Mac if you used Parallels or BootCamp?

This is just amazing! I love watching all the updates! Cyrus

Sprint and Verizon run on CDMA. If it is an AT&T iPhone, then it will NOT run on verizon or sprint. I work for apple so this is a question we get all the time, and something we learned in training. I hope that this helps. you could technically use the iPhone on T-Mobile as the also use GSM.
