What is your next park?
CaptainUnknown replied to onewheeled999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Fun Spot Orlando in three weeks. The resort I'm staying at is literally right next door (requested a view of the park), so I will be marathoning White Lightning all week. -
I'm sure they do, but they don't advertise it. When I visited the Kissimmee location last March, the Larson Flying Scooters were undergoing maintenance. On another note, I'm surprised the Kissimme location has yet to reopen their S&S Screaming Swing after it was decided to relocate it to accommodate Mine Blower.

Carowinds Discussion Thread

Gives me that much more reason to sleep in. I'm going to be spending three days at the park, so it's not like I need to rope drop it. But it's good to know that I can still exit through the south gate. If we're gonna talk about the park adding in a GCI, let's look at something we know will be leaving within 36 months: Dinosaurs Alive. -

So I plan on taking my first trip to the park this summer. Plan: fly into CLT, take cab to hotel across the street, hoof it to and from the park each day (unless there's a shuttle), enter/exit through the south gate. In the likely event of walking to/from the park each day, how often is the south gate open? I remember reading that it's only open on select days, but wanted to confirm. -

Valleyfair's 2011 Planet Snoopy Expansion cost $9 million. Which included several new rides/attractions, the retheming of several others, and the overall beautification of the area. It's a lot better than it was prior. -

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

Actually, I heard there was a group of skaters who got offended the park used the word "Twisted" in the name. The skaters felt like they were being singled out, and picked on. So the park is currently looking to rename it. Captain Planet and the Planeteers are also quite perturbed that they're using the word "Timbers." Save the trees, ya'll! -

If Racer75 is named after ACE, when are we going to get a TPR-themed coaster? -

Thought I'd pop in here and post this photo of Worlds of Fun's recently removed Finnish Fling (Chance Rotor).
