I don't care what people think, Millennium Force is still an incredible coaster and I can't wait to work on the 2017 Millennium crew.
You are going to absolutely love it. I worked there last season, this season I'm contracted to Dragster, but I'm hoping I can go back to Millie from time to time.

If/when CP gets a GCI, will they run 2 trains or opt for 3 with a "Shed?" And on that note, will "Sheds" become the new norm for GCIs?
Nooo. Because most parks don't care about hiding their transfer tracks on coasters.
Every single GCI in existence has a building or cover on the transfer track. The only two exemptons are El Toro and Kentucky Rumbler, both of which have only one train.
He's also trying to make a joke about "sheds", but it just isn't funny. He knows that we all know Mystic Timber's shed is specific to that ride as it is a thematic element.
El Toro was manufactured by Intamin and assembled by RMC, not GCI
He's referring to this El Toro..https://rcdb.com/4274.htm

If I return to work at CP again this summer I'm hoping to go to the following parks I didn't make it to last season:
Dollywood
Kentucky Kingdom
Kennywood
Canada's Wonderland
Dorney Park
and a bunch of the Pennsylvania parks

There was a parking lot carnival near my house probably about 15 years ago. They had a Kamikaze, a carousel, and this funky Scat 2 ride. That was it, definitely the smallest "carnival" I've ever seen!

Worked tollgate this weekend for about 14 hours. Called security twice my first day and had to deal with loss prevention... LOL! The second day I zero'd out so that is good and I still haven't been on one ride this season... Maybe I'll hit valley fair up this weekend. I feel so bad, one of my friends had to work preferred parking for 11 hours in one day!
Welcome to Cedar Fair.

^^ Maybe you should check the Kings Island thread.

Absolutely beautiful. I'm going to do anything I can to be able to cross train at this ride.
-
I have to go with Ejector. Nothing like feeling like you might be flung to your death!

1. TTD
2. Xcelerator

The Log Chute at MOA.

Cedar Point on May 19th when I start working there.
-
I went on Skyscraper when it was at Valleyfair a handful of times. It is probably my favorite flat (minus the cost)
-
Why are some of the seatbelts red? Are they the big boy seats?
-
Well, it looks like they will be PTC lap bars.
And we have another case of the old Valleyfair logo getting replaced by the new one.
That's really disappointing. I loved the single lap bar on High Roller. It gave so much freedom!

They're just adding new stairs for the Ferris Wheel.

yep i walked out...i grew old of that childish job. i have a real job now . you guys should be happy were actually getting the revolution. i was the one who told tasha to look into it. i was the one who gave them a list of rides to put into the park. heck she wanted to put a zac spin in and you know how well avatar is operating its constantly down and have you hear the reviews about it... also she wanted to put in a air race .and look what happened to mighty axe, got chopping block .the mechanics begged them to take it out..the ride broke down every day..so really sit their and say i don't know my stuff and come at me ..figures bison your from north dakota. stick to what you know farming ... and herding cattle ... cheese heads i swear ....continue being stuck their doing nothing with your life bison. ROFL!!!!
I only work there during the summer, otherwise I'm in college.
But anyways, looks like Shredder is going up fast. I have no doubt they'll have the ride ready for its November opening.
-
the last group/lock in they had . college kids broke the ride. as it was lowering the kids were shaking the seats....i used to be an employee their. so i talked with some co workers.and as a employee that operated shell shock we were strictly enforced . do not let the riders shake the seats as its lowering.
No offense but I kind of find it hard to believe that a ride, where part of the experience is shaking your seats, would have a design flaw where the whole ride could need extended maintenance if too many people shake their seat at inappropriate times. People are always going to do things like that during raising and lowering regardless of announcements, look at all the times people pull down their lap-bars before a seat belt check on YOLOcoaster. I'm sure this would have been considered when the ride was being developed.
think if you have seats on one end and riders are putting heavy stress on it. of course its going to break....simply science ...i remember when they opened the ride and i was standing their looking at the beam just SHAKE. im ooooh thats not going to last long...As a employee that operated shell shock we were strictly enforced .
I would take what Cory says with a grain of salt; there's a reason he is no longer employed at NU.

Hoping to see an announcement today!
You think they are going to move Shockwave to VF?
Hello no. Nobody wants that.
Just saying Valley Fair doesn't have a Togo Standup. Fills a gap, lol.
I would rather have a gap.

Twisted Colossus hands down.

I think Larson Flyers was brought up because we won't be getting a new coaster in a couple of year's and was an idea for a new ride update the flat rides before we get a new coaster and fill in some of the open areas of the park and putting some new rides under the Wild Thing turn around, scrambler spot, chaos area and fill in the area were the old tilt a whirl spot is. Valleyfair has room open spaces to fill up for new rides and were the old tilt a whirl use to sit you can remove the arcade to make room for a new small coaster. Fairly Odd Coaster or Spinning Dragons could fit in the tilt a whirl spot.
A clone of FOC or SD could not fit in the old Tilt-a-Whirl spot, and I doubt they would add a clone of a ride that's 20 minutes away. Also as a side note, I find your posts to be difficult to read. I'm not trying to be a backseat mod or anything, but could you maybe learn how to use commas and periods? Most of your statements are run on sentences.
Anyways, I would love to see Valleyfair add flying scooters and maybe a Delirium clone.

WTF is this??!?!?? Looks awesome! Where did it even come from?
That's Goldar from Power Rangers! Didn't you have a childhood? jk
-
I usually wait around 20 minutes, but it also depends on how close to riding I am. I once got in line for Deja Vu at SFGAm which was almost a two hour wait. After waiting for about 15 minutes it broke down and almost everyone got out of line which reduced the wait to about 30 minutes, and the ride even reopened 5 minutes later. Patience has its perks

Pretty much every company has a knock off of the KMG fireball (which is licensed to Chance to sell as the revolution as a park model only), so it's possible it's from another manufacturer as well.
It's from Chance. There's information about the new ride in our rides office and it states it's from Chance Rides.

I really hope they put in something nice to replace Danny Phantom's Ghost Zone, I will actually miss this ride, not really for the thrills but more for the sentimental value.
Danny Phantom is being replaced with a Chance Revolution 20 themed to Shredder. At least that's what the concept art shows in the rides office.

If you’re using that mindset, why would Cedar Point build Valravn or Steel Vengeance? They already had Magnum which is 200+ ft.
A giga dive coaster would be awesome!
