I notice that a lot of you have Apollo's Chariot (so do I) ranked pretty high... Even with all of the newer hypers that have popped up over the years...
For me at least, the pre-drop is a major reason why I think so highly of Apollo and Raging Bull. In the last row they absolutely launch you all the way down the drop. It's a ton of fun.
I actually think row 8 on Bull is better than the last in terms of getting airtime on the drop.

1. Nitro
2. Raging Bull

I’ve only up to 46 now.

I like Intrimistacker and Mcflurry 523. Surprising no one changed the names of the coasters st SFMM.
^^ They got Kings Island too.
-
INot to mention Nitro has run at 19 degrees. I think we could push it down to 15 if we really tried.A Nitro marathon in that cold weather, hell yeah!
Now could Nitro run in single digit weather?
I’m going to say no.

According to the app the park is closed today.

HITP Trip Report
Today was my first ever HITP visit and it was great. The park did a very good job decorating the park. I was able to on every coaster and thrill ride that was open twice. Overall the park wasn’t too busy even though the weather was nice. I can’t wait to get to the park in December after today.
-
So true. I can’t wait to see what the park does for Peppermint Swirl.
-
Peppermint Swirl is the cutest teacups name ever.
Fixed that for you.
Terror Twister II is the best teacups name ever.
-
^ That was a very wise choice. I heard from somebody on SFGAmWorld that BTR and The Dark Knight Coaster are the only coasters open today. Looking at the app it looks like most of thrill rides are closed as well.
-
That makes sense. Although to be honest my first thought was weather being the main issue for Cedar Point and Valleyfair when it comes having Winterfest just based on their locations. But then again I said the same thing about my park and I was wrong about that.
-
I’ll be honest, I still feel like Winterfest is inevitable. It’s just a question of when they pull the trigger. I know Dorney isn’t much for exciting new additions but this is quite different than (say) a new ride and offers much more immediate, measurable returns.
I would expect every park in the chain except for Michigan’s Adventure and Cedar Point to add Winterfest eventually.
Even Valleyfair?
-
As of now I’m doing a speed run of Metroid Zero Mission in an attempted to beat my 49 minute run through I did a while back ago. I’m having a lot of trouble though so far.
-
I'm shocked Demon won't be open. Ninja runs well in SFSL. Of course - this probably still isn't a complete list.
I'd love to see Demon open for HITP, but I recall it struggling at times to make it to the MCBR after the tunnel (and subsequently crawling through the turnaround) last year towards the end of Last Blast.
Demon didn’t just struggle to make it to the MCBR at times but on the last day of season it actually got stuck on the MCBR for a few minutes.
-
Damn that’s a pretty good ride lineup. Not what I expecting at all (especially all the B&Ms). I’m not surprised Demon and the woodies aren’t open though.
-
Ah I see. I only asked which game it was only because your post on Friday just happened to be the day Red Dead Redemption 2 was released.

^ Are you playing the newly released RDR2 or just RDR?
-
I for one enjoyed my night back row on The Beast as painful as it was. Alright the first half wasn’t bad but the second half was the almost killed me.
-
Actually the name does make sense since this will be our last chance ride all the rides. Not every ride is going to be open for HITP but for Last Call every ride will pretty much be open say Whizzer(apparently closed for season already for Maxx Force construction) and the water rides.
-
^ Exactly like just say it’s too windy.
-
That makes sense I guess. The park employees were the ones that kept telling everyone the rides were down because of the wind chill. We were even told Firehawk couldn’t run until the end chill was below 31. Oh yeah it was windy on the 20th. I got to experience several trimless rides on Diamondback. I think we’re right in the edge of whatever storm hit Cedar Point and Northern Ohio.
-
So I have to ask why was Racer able to stay open on Saturday while the rest of the coaster(accept Back Lot and FOF) had to close because of the wind chill?
