I agree that a Zamperla Air Race would be an awesome addition to Valleyfair. I haven't ridden one yet, but I've heard mostly great things about them. Even though Cedar Fair has yet to install one, they have purchased several rides from Zamperla lately (ex. Northern Lights), as they've been a go-to manufacturer for flat rides in recent years. If VF did install an Air Race, I can see one going in the former Tilt-a-Whirl spot, or if the amphitheater meets the wrecking ball anytime soon, that might be another place they could put it. However, I still feel that a Soak City expansion and a new thrilling roller coaster are higher on the priority list, so if we get one, it would probably not be for several more years. Valleyfair could use something like this.

Prowler - Worlds of Fun

Busch Gardens

Granted, it would be incomplete, and therefore disappointing. I wish that Valleyfair would get a B&M invert.

Yesterday at Valleyfair: "Renegade is the same ride as Wild Thing". *facepalm* A GCI woodie and a Morgan hypercoaster are the same ride? Seriously? Also, maybe not exactly GP, but in the trivia game on Valleyfair's FunTV, it asked which VF ride is celebrating it's 25th anniversary this year. It went on to say Enterprise, but as far as I know, that ride was built in 1979, therefore making it 35 years old. That's a bit embarrassing if a park can't get it's own facts straight.

Continued from earlier... -Steel Venom was pretty awesome today. Maybe I just got lucky, but the launch seemed stronger than normal. -Didn't ride Northern Lights this time, as it was down for a bit. After hearing about yesterday, I fear that breakdowns may become a regular occurrence with this ride. -Didn't ride Mad Mouse either. Other stuff I noticed.... -The volleyball court area (formerly IMAX) has quite a large plot of land (larger than I thought it would be). I now feel that it is the most likely spot for a future new waterslide. -FunTV is an entertaining addition. It's better than Six Flags' TV system, at least for now. -Excalibur Cold Drinks has been replaced with lockers. -Renegade has a new strip of anti-rollback right before the final brake run.

I'm at Valleyfair right now, and just got off High Roller. I had one of my best rides in a long time on it, but I noticed that it now has individual seatbelts (it still has the buzz bars). Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't this strip High Roller of it's ACE Coaster Classic status? My opinions on the other coasters: -I had two really fun rides on Corkscrew. Not amazing, but really fun. -Renegade is much smoother and no longer headache inducing. The back seat airtime was wicked today. -Excalibur was pretty much the same as last year. A few bumpy moments, but nothing too bad. -Wild Thing was a little sluggish, but there's plenty of time for it to improve this year. -Haven't done Steel Venom yet. Will update once I have.

SLC

Granted, they add kiddie slides to get the slide count to 15. I wish that it would never rain when I visit a park.

Excalibur - Valleyfair

So how is/was opening day for those of you that are/were there? I have a few questions: 1) How is Northern Lights? Is it thrilling or just fun? I want to know if it's worth taking a spin on when I go. 2) How have Renegade and High Roller changed with the track maintenance? I hope Renegade has lost that headache-inducing rattle. 3) How is the new queue line TV system? What do they show besides weather and queue times?

Zach's Zoomer - Michigan's Adventure

Granted, but it wouldn't have been nearly as good as the original seasons. I wish that I could reride coasters without changing seats when there's no one in line (most parks make you walk around again regardless).

^ Yeah, I saw those Valleyfair segments on Kare 11 this morning. Everything looks great! I really wish I could be there tomorrow, but I have prior obligations to attend to. I'll be there on Saturday though (T-minus 48 hours and counting).

Granted, it fails and goes out of business due to lack of popularity. I wish that I had a roller coaster in my backyard.
