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. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

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? -
lol that's awesome..... sounds like someone was trying to send a message after a breakup!

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. -
We've lost another member of the original Lynard Skynard - Gary Rossington.

Six Flags St. Louis (SFStL) Discussion Thread

kind of funny in a sad way, they finally come up with a plan for the remaining half of the go-kart track and now they might be replacing it with another concrete the ride attraction. -

It makes sense based on the investigation finding that a piece of the brake run was broken off and sent flying and how beat up the launch and brake run was from over time, it does make sense to replace those sections so hopefully that's all that will change. -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
mikeykaise replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
you're right, my mistake, I thought M&M's were Hershey. I apologize. -
I think the biggest reason for the delay was originally they weren't going to include the turntable (which would be horrendous dispatch times) and after they got to building it Six Flags was like yeah go ahead and give us the turntable after all so then they had to wait on the turntable from the manufacturer, good idea to include it but stupid to decide not to include it from the get go.

Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

Not trying to make it into a thing or start a rumor, but I just had to laugh when I saw the M&M characters are going to be doing meet and greets in WDW resort. -

Agreed, I've been to this park once, that was enough for me.
