Rode it today. Really liked it. It wasn't by any means as smooth as a brand new steel coaster, there was still some back-and-forth jerkiness, but that didn't bother me. I didn't have any problem with wiggle-room for my arms. The best part was the double barrel roll, really enjoyable without my head and neck being beaten to death. I saw no evidence of a second train. One hour wait with one switchback full.

Wow, is this the first year MK surpassed Tokyo Disneyland? -

I've ridden Top Gun / Flight Deck / Bat hundreds of times. Rode CW's Vortex for the first and only time this year and my impression was that Vortex was faster. -
Hey Darien Lake pros, I'm headed to Canada's Wonderland this Sunday for the first time and I'm contemplating leaving early to try and get DL in. So, if I leave let's say, the Cleveland area in the morning and need to be in Toronto that night, would there be enough time on Saturday to do this park? I'm interested in hitting the coasters (maybe ROS more than once), the log flume, and some flats. Would crowds permit getting all of that done? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread

Thanks for the tips, guys! Keep em coming! I am really looking forward to this park! We got a nice rate at the Hilton Airport Hotel, which Google Maps says is 18 minutes from the park. Anything I should know about that drive? Is it worth it to take the toll roads or would it be better to do surface roads? Thanks! -

I'm headed to the park on Sunday for the first time and any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated! What can I expect as far as holiday weekend crowds? We are getting FastLane Plus to help us hit everything. It looks like to me FastLane doesn't include the lower-capacity coasters, so my thoughts were to get there the second the park opens and head to Thunder Run, Fly, Bat, and the junior coasters before those lines get long. Then, as long as everything is running multi trains the only other long wait for us should be Time Warp, right? Thanks again! -
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but does anyone know the fate of the Ameri-Go-Round? It was an antique carousel from Fontaine Ferry Park here in Louisville. According to the wikipedia page, it is stored in crates under Superman. Is this still true? I read that at one time there was an effort to bring it back to Louisville and I'd love to see that happen.

I love the POV videos, but I prefer randomly coming across them on your Facebook page or searching for them on YouTube. As far as sitting down and watching a full-length DVD, I prefer the music videos of you guys enjoying the entire parks, especially when you are on an international tour of some parks most of us have never even heard of before. That's why I vote Coaster Expedition.

Dania Beach Hurricane Declares Bankruptcy

I rode this coaster on a typical college spring break trip in 2006. I was lucky enough to pull a couple of people away from the drunken debauchery to take a few spins. Even the non-enthusiasts who went with me agreed it was the highlight of the trip. I hope the person / people who designed the layout get back into the game soon. Sad to see this coaster go.. -
2012-- What was your highlight?
tylercolby83 replied to Chroniq's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Mine was getting to play Tour Guide / Decision Maker for my family's vacation. We did all of Disney and Universal in five days. I hadn't been to Orlando since I did the College Program in 06. The Harry Potter ride was really amazing. Another highlight was spending an entire day at Holiday World's Splashin' Safari for the first time. Their water park is so cool. -
The BEST roller coaster view EVER???

Looks so awesome. I'm sure it's breezy too. I can almost feel it. -

I'm from Kentucky and I love the Beast for the dramatic finale, the history, and the nostalgia, but with all the trims it doesn't really "do" anything for me anymore. It definitely had a lot more bite some 10-15 years ago. -

In the footage, it sounds like there is a helicopter nearby. Possibly from a news station? Has anyone come across footage from the air? -
Favorite Standalone Haunts?

We have quite a few in the Louisville area. Two of my favorites: Baxter Avenue Morgue http://www.baxtermorgue.com/ Haunted Hotel http://hauntedhotelky.com/ -
Hi, I renewed my Club TPR membership recently, but have not been able to access the Club TPR forum in order to see the park discounts. I haven't received my new card either, but I know you announced working on packets over the weekend. If you could let me know what I need to do to make sure my membership is renewed, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

What is the largest coaster to be relocated? Per my searching this hasn't been discussed on here since 2007. After a quick search my guess would be that it's now Dominator followed closely by Chang/Green Lantern in terms of length, and Deja Vu/Aftershock in terms of height.

Weird Roller Coaster Dreams
tylercolby83 replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've had tons of roller coaster dreams. Almost all of them are about how my annoying family just wants to watch shows and I never get to ride anything...
