Alton Towers Discussion Thread

I agree and now restuarants are toying with that idea. -
That was part of the issue but the main issue is Six Flags and the Fairboard had a blowout over the leasing and Six Flags basically said screw you we're out of here and vacated the premises. The Kochs dropped their interest as well for the same reasons when they were thinking about taking it over after it was abandoned.

Dollywood Discussion Thread

My thinking was trying to decide if it was the video that just was making it seem a slower pace or if it was the difference in the launch vs chain lift, but if it is a slower pace than that's not necessarily a bad thing because it will make it more family friendly with younger children, the one time I rode it in launch mode it was very very fun but very very fast and the whole thing was a blur from start to finish. I personally think for me if it is a slower pace that just gives me more time to enjoy the twists and turns, just my opinion. -

Was just wondering, would Saturday night be a croweded mess for Winter Nights? -

No surprise honestly, they were bound to do something to improve, great ride and love it, and I'm sure it will still be great. -

HW was just extending it to try and fill in the space left by Pilgrims Plunge, pretty nice way of filling it in and utilizing the space. -

I agree especially after what happened and the lawsuit over it, I was surprised about keeping the que in the middle as well but makes sense so it overs protection from over top. -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

a little corny or in this case a little gravy about the theming but it's good to see them finally doing something with the Pilgrim's Plunge area. -

It's just scary seeing how much the top part above the crack moved to the right as a train went by. It was a good couple of inches, this could have been really bad but am glad it wasn't. -

I just saw a commercial and maybe it's just me but HW world just doesn't seem as special not seeing like a Koch family member in the commercials or whatever.... just seems like that part of the appeal of it and being family owned takes a little bit from it? I dunno, shrugs. -

I know the main change to Adventure Express has been to the ques, but have they mentioned any changes to the ride itself? -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

My thinking is maybe they are just extending the turn around so they can bring it to a more gradual stop as opposed to a back spike, the footers seem to extend out into the lake and then line up with the station. -

Well let's hope they have better luck with this launched coaster, hopefully it runs more like Firecracker Express than LR.
