New Rougarou Video from Cedar Point! This looks exciting! Lots of news I've never known that will be incorporated into the ride!

For me, in all honesty, I actually like the color schemes of Tempesto and Apollo's Chariot. I don't mind them. I don't like judging roller coasters by their colors...but rather the ride experience itself after I have ridden it. Perhaps this isn't the best location...perhaps this isn't the Busch standard...perhaps their announcement on Tempesto wasn't the greatest...perhaps would you rather have nothing? I'm looking forward to riding a great looking launch coaster next time I visit BGW!

Judging by the webcams...today was a slow day. 2 train operation for Fury and the new parking lot is not full at all. Wish I was there to hit up some rides!

Another issue I see is that Grad Bash starts at Universal soon or maybe it has started. But teenagers love to ride roller coasters and Rockit and Hulk are going to be the must-rides of the night besides checking out the new Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express. I feel like there will be lines for the lockers if it gets to that point as every teen will most likely ride one of these that night. Also, every teen has their phone on them 24/7 so if the wait is an hour...that will be very upsetting to teenagers. I always wear my shorts that either have cargo pockets or have zipper pockets.

I haven't seen any post on this yet...but how is that weird turnaround sideways thingy right before the tunnel? That part looks intense and might provide a weird feeling maybe? I'm curious how this element is because it just looks so crazy! Last time I was at Carowinds it was when Intimidator opened in 2010. I definitely need to make a visit to this park again!

This is really annoying. Last time I was at Universal was in February and when I went to Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, it wasn't just people telling you to put everything away in a locker...it was the consistent YELLING that drove me insane. The ride attendants were all extremely rude! My next day at Hulk had the same exact issue! This is extremely annoying. Ya they opened up Diagon Alley and lots of great additions lately...but I do miss those days when Dueling Dragons were DUELING and getting into the queue of a ride was EASY.

I've been watching the webcams all morning!!

I'm getting annoyed with the news about these things. They made the thing about Gringotts a while ago the biggest deal EVER!

Typhoon Lagoon! It is a very peaceful atmosphere. I'd get to this park before the opening and head to Crush N Gusher. Hit all three of those quickly and then go to the Shark Tank! VERY AWESOME EXPERIENCE to snorkel at a water park and feels so natural. Then head over to Humungakowabunga. After that go back through the entrance to Humungakowabunga and before you climb the final staircase to the top of Humungakowabunga, head to the pathway to the left and take that pathway over to the Family Raft slide. After doing that you can hit the two single tube slides. After that go back over to the other side and do the 3 body slides. I usually get all of these slides done in an hour or so if I follow that plan. Then I have the rest of the day to relax!!!

If you check the webcam right now...there is a train stopped on the lift hill. Don't know if this is a test for emergency or due to the storm or something else.

Is it 3 seats per row or am I just seeing something...

Has there been any update on the Kong ride? Is it supposed to open next year?

It seems that there is a lot in store for the future of Busch Gardens even though it seems that SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment has taken a hit recently. I'm hoping that this will be a nice family coaster that has a really good indoor section! But the future looks bright! Falcon's Fury last year, Colossal Curl at Adventure Island this year, possible new coaster with indoor section next year, the really large Gwazi site, and the area that used to hold the Critter Castaway show!

On the webcam...it looks to appear some different lighting for the supports for the lift hill. They keep doing funky stuff flashing green and white and idk. Go check it out on the webcam.

Lol whatever the new name is...I will still be calling it MGM Studios

When do you think this ride might be completed? If they finish the track this month...do you think testing could be done in April for a May opening date?

I'm glad Adventure Island finally got a fantastic new water slide. I hope the future sees a lot more new slides that don't take almost a decade for a new one to be built!

WOW! That looks incredibly fast!!! I thought it was sped up when I first saw that video. Dang!!! This is going to be a great ride!

Here is a PointCast Update on Hotel Breakers from Tony Clark at Cedar Point!

I think they should have the original 2 tracks be only for Standby Queue and the new track for the FastPass+ Queue. I feel like that is the most efficient use for the ride as both lines will run relatively quick.

For the Early Entry...are there generally a lot of people? Also, what ride should I hit first for Early Entry? Rougarou maybe since it is new?

I would also strongly recommend a back row ride on Maverick as well cause even though Maverick is amazing in the front the back is really good on this ride as I feel you are thrown over the first drop giving amazing airtime. Noted! I do plan on doing some re-rides on some of these. I'll definitely try out the back!

Well thank you so much about all of the information! I just get more and more excited for it! Magnum in the back sounds awesome. I will probably aim for the Front or back of Raptor. I am definitely wanting to do a front and back of Millennium Force and I want a front row of Top Thrill Dragster. I'll probably do front and back of Wicked Twister. Front of Maverick. Front and back of Gatekeeper (one on one side and one on the other). Front of Blue Streak. Front of Mean Streak (if I even want to ride it). If there is one thing I'm worried about it is the weather. Hopefully the rain and wind won't be a factor on my trip! Again thank you all for all of this advice! Very excited for June!

^Thank you so much! I honestly have no idea about some of their rides at Cedar Point and Gemini looked pretty interesting on how they seem to race each other. If the line is super long I probably won't do it. I will have 2.5 days there and want to get everything done that I want to get done and lots of re-rides. As for Magnum, I've heard of some mixed reviews of the ride from the restraints to some roughness. But it's a giant coaster over 200 feet and I kind of want to ride it haha. Thanks for the advice!
