Racer at Kings Island. (What an awful ride.)

New track in place! I wonder if they will get the next set of supports and track pieces that are sitting in the middle of the site put in place today??

Candy.

I agree. I mean I know that they are "use" to it. But still... I couldn't do it!! Props to them! That being said. . . Someone has moved on the construction site. Time for a new photo. Actually, they have managed to get the track put together that they will be installing next. Also, there brought another piece of track to the site. It's sitting out in the middle! Can't wait to see this coaster complete. . . Even though I know that's months away. I've given up on the boat.

Looks like we may see one new support and two new pieces of track put in place today!! Sadly... still no sign of the boat.

PRETTY!!

Fixed it for you Mako Sharks belong to the Chondrichthyes class. "Chondrichthyes is a class that contains the cartilaginous fishes: they are jawed vertebrates with paired fins, paired nares, scales, a heart with its chambers in series, and skeletons made of cartilage rather than bone. The class is divided into two subclasses: Elasmobranchii (sharks, rays, skates, and sawfish) and Holocephali (chimaeras, sometimes called ghost sharks, which are sometimes separated into their own class)." Mako Shark = Fish. Granted it is a really big, powerful fish. But still a fish none the less.

^ I don't know... to me a fish shouldn't roar...

LIMs.

But the real question is.... will Mako roar... or not??

^ Could that weight of the track be including sand in it?? Also, I thought Tony had already confirmed that Valravn will be filled with sand...?

^ I think it more so depends on the financial state of the park. If a park is about to go bankrupt, I'm sure they would sell it for a lot less than $1 billion. Just to get out from under it.

I wish this philosophy could creep over into the Cedar Point thread. The off season would be really boring if we didn't find excitement in watching the progress of construction at parks.

Shock.

Excuse me? Montu is a "HE" Pretty sure Montu is an "IT!"

Call me crazy, but if I got the $800 million... I wouldn't be building or buying a park. I'd still visit the parks, and continue to do VIP Tours at parks. But as for owning my own?? No thanks! I'd use the money to pay for my school and buy a new car.

Great white. Would you rather visit SFMM or Cedar Point?

5/10. The off season.

There is a chaindog on the bottom of the train just for the holding brake. As the train engages on the holding brake the chain of the holding brake slows way down. Giving you the feeling that it's stopped. . . But it never really stops. The train eventually gets to the point where it disengages from the holding brake, and begins the drop. Kind of like when a roller coaster gets to the top of the lift hill and disengages from the lift hill. Same thing here but instead of the chain pulling the train forwards the chain is keeping the train at a very slow speed. Hope that makes sense. If not watch the video below. I think they start talking about the holding brake at about 1:10.

Wow! That sounded great. Good job!!

Gravity Group. X2 or Valravn?

When Cedar Point builds another Intamin.
