I would really like to ride thi ride, it really looks great.

Griffon has some nice hang time in each of its immelmanns. Storm Runner has quite a bit of hang time in all three of its inversions. Hydra , it's not one of my favorites but it also has a lot of hang time in every inversion.

I drove by the park yesterday when I picked up my Cedar Fair wind breaker. I only got a quick look but, it appeared that one of the track sections to the twist was there and it was still red.

^They also might have just caught the ride on a good day. For example I usually hear people say that Hurler at Kings Dominion is a rough ride and people generally don't rank it to high. Now me on the other hand, I didn't find the ride rough at all and I thought it was a great ride. I probably caught the ride on a "good" day. That is why I ranked it as my 5th favorite woodie.

CP_RULES, I am also a sucker for brakes. My personal favorite are Intamin brake fins on the rocket coasters.

I would say Six Flags Great Adventure. I always hear people talking about the park being dirty, pulling in a bad crowd, and having bad operations. Never once have I seen the park dirty, it's been clean every time I"m there. IMO the park pulls in a pretty good crowd compared to other parks like Kings Dominion and Dorney. As for the operations, for the most part they are well above average, except on an occasion.

All I really want is a a new baseball bat for this upcoming season. The 2008 Easton Stealth Stiff Flex.

I was just thinking, since SFGADV also took out MTWE, now they only have Log Flume and Congo Rapids as their water rides. Maybe they will replace it with a newer water ride in the future. I was thinking something along the lines of Perilous Plunge at KBF. That would be a great addition to the park.

Interesting, but I'm not really liking the concept to much. I'll tell you one thing though, there definitely will be a lot of airtime on the drop.

I would love to head out to the park for a few hours this coming summer. I'm hoping for a Kennywood, Cedar Point vacation and I was wondering if I should stop off at Waldameer. I was thinking if I did go my schedule would be something like this. Sunday 6/15 - kennywood Monday 6/16 - Waldameer/Cedar Point Tuesday 6/17 - Cedar Point Wednesday 6/18 - Cedar Point Would I be able to go to Waldameer on a Monday, and get a few rides on Ravine Flyer II and a few rides on the other rides, if I get there at opening and left mid-early afternoon? Help much appreciated.

^Gotta love the view from 230 feet in the air.

This is sad. I never had the opportunity to ride Chiller. I really hope it is rebuilt somewhere.

^^I doubt Behemoth is going to beat out Millennium Force, Superman Ride of Steel (NE), Expedition GeFroce, El Toro, or Balder. I will be a great coaster but most likely not the "best".

From what I experienced and heard this year Ka was very reliable. I was there on Good Friday and Ka opened once it the wind died down and it ran great all afternoon. I was also there on a saturday in September and it ran 4 trains and it was a 2 train wait for any row and 5 for front. The ride only broke down once and it was for about 10 minutes. I would say go for the Toro, Ka as 499 and 500. Both rides are reliable now and are both a great rush.

^Yeah the seat belt thing is what I'm most confused about. I've been on Nitro and Apollo's Chariot and neither of them had seat belts. As far as I know, no other B&M hypers have seat belts either. Is that correct?

Now I have never been to CW but I have always heard that it can get very crowded. I believe that the ride should have at least a que that can hold 1.5 - 2 hours. Even with the ride having 3 trains, the lines will be long. At SFGADV Nitro always has at least a 30 minute line and that is with all the other great coasters in the park. Also, I believe that the train having seat belts will greatly increase loading times.

^^Awesome report, the ride really does look huge! I never noticed how close the second and third camelbacks would be together until I saw the supports. The ride should be amazing.

^Yeah that is no 80 meters. It doesn't even look as big as Griffon.

Great trip report, I really enjoyed it! I really hope I can get down to Florida soon so I can ride all those great coasters. Also, I'm sorry to hear about your camera.

I would say if are planning on heading up towards the PA/NJ area, then you could make it one of these 3 rides. Storm Runner- An awesome Intamin rocket with a nice launch and great airtime. Kingda Ka- The tallest, fastest roller coaster. El Toro- Possibly the best wooden coaster ever built, and it does have insane airtime.

^ I was just wondering because I remember you said Balder was better than El Toro in that video earlier this year.

They aren't wasting anytime getting this thing up! I don't think the transition looks any different from any other B&M hyper IMO.
