Yup, GateKeeper FTW! Is Yolocoaster a gimmick just to add on to MM's coaster record?

Great looking coaster! My only complaint is that there isn't a download link -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

I think that this year will be it. With Hades 360 receiving Timberliners, I'm confident that the Voyage will have them on track this season. Not sure if they will be ready by May, but hopefully before the end of summer. -

Windseeker Status
Koasterking48 replied to Koasterking48's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Sub-300 ft Windseekers are totally possible. There was one that was originally part of the proposed Fun Spot expansion, but was cut in the long run. I definitely see Dorney being the next candidate if the Windseekers get up and running well. -

Nice video! Will nighttime testing with the light packages begin soon? I'd love to see what they do! -

It's been officially confirmed that a video (PointCast, I'm pretty sure) is coming tomorrow. Whether or not it includes a POV along with the test footage is up in the air. -

What Ride Have You Ridden the Most?

The Voyage for me. I have endured 60 + cycles over the past 7 years. -

Holiday World set a fine example of how the heads of the park should be (Pat Koch) by cleaning up trash and serving food to people. Heck just talking to the guests is a great way to know what improvements could be made. If you ever see Pat on the walkways, she is a very friendly person to chat with as are all of the employees. I agree very much with Robb. Your actions as a leader of your employees reflects how they interact with guests. If you are a hermit, you are antisocial, many of your employees will be less transparent about their hatred for their job. Also, the "Six Flags experience" should be close to the same between each park. Customer service and employee 'friendliness' should not vary starkly. A normal GP guest should expect the same great/terrible things and not have to worry about a rude ride op or games worker. Cedar Fair does a relatively good job at this and is not as inconsistent as Six Flags. I really hope they catch on and go back towards Jay Thomas's outlook on customer and employee satisfaction.

This year, Holiday World is adding smart lockers that are just wristbands instead of keys. Are these in any other parks, and are they better than just a lock and key? -

I'm just really amazed by how much space Disaster Transport and Space Spiral actually took up. The new area will definitely be more attractive than it has been in years! As for the station, I can't really complain. It's not done so I won't be making any judgements till it is finished along with the rest of improvements. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

Clearly you are an uninformed employee. Dragster's height requirement is 52". You were wrong and she was right. She was probably pissed about your persisting misinformation and left out of frustration. If you plan on working for CP again, you had better learn the height requirements better. -

Best Family Coaster

Manta has my vote also. It's definitely the best! -
Yes, 2 of them (Erie and Michigan) Is your state (or location) as boring as Indiana?

Will Fast Lanes for the Saturday after Coastermania this year be necessary? -

I think they planned for the name to match up with the keyholes. However, I heard it was going to be called Lotan (another name for Leviathan, I think) instead of Gatekeeper before the announcement. And it's alright, I'm not laughing at you
