love it

A smaller crane is going up for Banshee. Anyone know if they will keep the original crane and use the two to speed things up, or send it off since the high construction is now over?

Maybe they want a YOLO type coaster. Would be a cheapish but exciting ride to help bring people in.

I bought a CF Platinum Pass for the first time and really hoping to get to Carowinds, KD, and Dorney for the first time! Might as well hit Hershey and some Skyrush while I'm at it!

Hills! gotta love some airtime!

One more piece of track and the dive loop will be complete!

Maverick this past Saturday! Hadn't been on it since 2007 and now that I got a few more rides on it, it is my new favorite over Millennium!

Steel 1) Maverick 2) Millennium Force 3) Top Thrill Dragster 4) Raptor 5) Diamondback 6) Apollo's Chariot 7) Phantom's Revenge 8) Alpengeist 9) Gatekeeper 10) Sky Rocket Wood 1) Voyage 2) Thunderbolt 3) Jack Rabbit 4) Beast 5) Hurricane 6) Legend

It was ridiculous how busy the park was. I was glad I bought a fast pass a week in advance, but even then it still had hour plus waits on Maverick. Never again going on a Saturday Halloweekend

Heading to Cedar Point this Saturday! It will be my first time there since 2006

I don't think it's possible. I don't know what you call them, but there are little stoppers at the end of the track to prevent that. You can see the stoppers at the top.

The folks over at Screamscape posted a story of Half Pipe derailing. All speculation at the moment. Has anyone heard anything else on this? http://www.screamscape.com/html/elitch_gardens.htm

Awesome update as usual! Always enjoying reading them. Now to find time (and money) to get over there!

Thunderbolt at Kennywood has always been one of my favorites! I know I'm biased and haven't ridden many wood coasters but I've always thought it to be one of the best woodies too. Oldie but goodie!

I miss Big Bad Wolf but I really miss Steel Phantom, it was always one of my favorites. I like Phantom's Revenge but for me it will never be as good.

First drop supports on the way up!

Even if the rest of the ride isn't as forceful as we all hope it to be, I think that first drop is going to be incredible!

I am probably wrong, but it looks like they are prepping the final lift hill piece for placement!

Lift hill almost up to the middle support!

^saw the bug as well while I tried watching them put the supports up. This thing just looks bigger than I thought it would, not that I'm complaining! Maybe it's because there is nothing much around it to compare. It really is going up fast as well! Can't wait for it to open!

My favorite theme park food are the fries from the Potato Patch at Kennywood! Ohh so good and unhealthy!

Kennywood, Holiday World, and Kings Island. Hopefully I can add Dollywood before the end of the year!

When I was little, Jack Rabbit at Kennywood always scared the crap out of me, but at the same time I loved it. That little tiny leather strap that wouldn't tighten made me nervous that I would fly out during the double dip.

Mantis at Cedar Point...ugh

Kennywood! but now that I live in Kentucky, I'm starting to call Kings Island home.
