Fixed that for you.

Granted. But they always complain about all the other coasters they ride. I wish "Fanboys" in general were not a thing.

Giggle.

Then hopefully it would be enough to destroy Six Flags St. Louis. What if Cedar Point really isn't RMCing Mean Streak???

Same! This looks amazing!!

Great Trip Report!!! I am so glad you loved BGW!!! It is an absolutely amazing park. It's beautiful, and it has some amazing coasters!! By far one of, if not my favorite theme park!! Just reading your report has me excited for my trip back next season!!!

Not going to lie, I use to hate Mean Streak, but once I rode in row one and leaned forward the entire ride, I really enjoyed it!! I can't wait to see what the makeover holds!!

Fixed that for you. It's really easy to make Mean Streak smooth! You just have to follow the simple trick.

You've never been to Six Flags St. Louis, or Magic Springs have you??

It's so challenging for me to pick a "favorite" park, however after thinking long and hard about it, I narrowed it down to either Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Silver Dollar City, Cedar Point, EPCOT, or Animal Kingdom. Honorable mentions going to: Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Kings Island, Islands of Adventure, and Universal Studios Orlando.

QFT. Everything about this post is pretty much exactly how I feel about the B&M vest restraints. I really wish B&M would just go back to the old school harness that they used for ages. This is exactly why I LOVE SheiKra and Griffon, yet if I never ride Valravn again I'll die a happy person, the vest restraints KILL the ride.

Waittttt, so you mean to tell me that Cedar Point is not going to build a 1,500ft tall, 150mph, 150 inversion coaster for its 150th anniversary? Guess rumor on the street was wrong this time too.

Best theme park specific food?? I've said it before, and I'll say it again. . . Basically anything that comes from a Silver Dollar City. . . like this: and this: and this: and this: and lets not forget this:

I think for me the most annoying thing that can, and will ever happen in a theme park is. . . BASKETBALLS!! Like seriously, who the eff thought it was a good idea to give people basketballs for them to dribble around the park all damn day?? It never fails that someone will "lose" control of their basketball and it goes flying across the midway as they chase it down running into people, cutting people off, darting around you, just being plain obnoxious. . . Ugh! Just thinking about them annoys me.

Superman at SFOG!!

I say that it will be open "New for 2018" becuase of how long the New Texas Giant remodel took. They are similarly sized, and will probably take about the same amount of time to construct, which will put the opening of New Mean Streak in 2018.

You'd think that the transition from the wheels off the track, to on the track wouldn't be an abrupt "slam" but rather a gradual transition. Just because I'm curious, according to your theory why aren't their "potholes" after every moment of airtime, when the wheels are off the track on RMC coasters??

Nice trip report. You had some great photos in there!! Looks like a decent little park with a great location. I'm a sucker for parks near water!!

Stepping on a LEGO at night. In the dark. In a strangers house. While everyone is asleep. What's worse than VR coasters?

I had an entire breeding tank set up for amphophods and copepods as food for the mandrin. It worked great for a few weeks. There were thousands upon thousands. And then overnight they all died. Not sure what happened. But I'm going to re-evaluate the situation. We just took our first "vacation" after having fish in the tank. We get home tonight and they haven't been fed since Friday at 4am. . . So I'm hoping they will still be okay!! I've also had to put the anemone on hold due to an algae issue. . . I'm with you, I'm pretty sure this aquarium gets better taken care of than I do!!

I'm anxiously awaiting the day I can get my next car. 1.) I'm tired of having a super tiny car. 2.) When you are use to change cars several few times a year, it's hard to stay in one for YEARS!!

Soooo, Lightning Rod?

Ohhh, so that's the clue!! Red track is going to Virginia, and orange track is coming to Cedar Point!!

What's the difference?

What a glorious sight!! I can't wait to see what RMC does with this coaster. . . Now we just have to figure out what color the new track will be!! . . . I bet orange or red.
