What Ride Have You Ridden the Most?
Coaster19 replied to Randomman295's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Diamondback, KI. I have ridden that ride over 600 times. Stopped counting a few years ago, so it could be close to 800-900. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Pete Owens did just confirm on air that the park is fine. They do believe about a dozen or so cabins have either been a total loss or damaged. That was the update that I saw on the news just now. Also staying at the park will be closed tomorrow. And further assessment about this week and will be decided upon talking to the city. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If....
Coaster19 replied to PCW_Nut's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You quiz yourself every time you see a photo of a rollercoaster, by guessing 1) name of rollercoaster 2) name of park 3) name of company that built said rollercoaster Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Plus we also have to think about how huge this project may be and the fact that winters suck. Look at Twisted Colossus. That took a long time, but they had great weather. I would say MS will be a bigger project (because of height, and how much may have to be removed). With that in mind, this (in my opinion) will be built durning next season as well. Personally I would love to see a coaster being built durning a season, bring attention to the park, and interest for the next season. I think we will see some changes to Frontier Town next year, but the main change will happen in 2018. Could be wrong though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

How? They teased it so much we all new it was going to happen. Richard Michael Crosby being very obvious for RMC. Also for the fact the trucks show up after the death of MS. If the trucks showed up before then I would agree. At this point we already knew RMC. However, we still have no idea what the track layout will be. In retrospect that will be the huge announcement. More then confirming RMC or GCI (my opinion). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I'm nerdy and I have no shame: I believe the Frontier Trail is the corridor from the MF tunnel to the Wave Swinger/hospital haunt, while the Frontier"town" is the Maverick/Mean Streak area heading toward Gemini -- which area did you mean? Did I miss a support announcement mentioning new stuff, or are you speculating on your own? Other than eventual new plans for the Shoot the Rapids spot, I'd like to see almost no further changes in the back-left part of the park. Aside from some larger restrooms, I'm good. There's already a fine gift shop near Mean Streak that can be tweaked to anchor the coaster's post-op merchandise. The rustic theme and relative abundance of trees in the Frontier areas make for a great change of pace from the beach views & open plazas of pavement elsewhere. While Mean Streak will benefit greatly from surgery, a Frontier face-lift would be at an ironic risk of getting botched. Cedar Fair doesn't have a track record of doing "rustic-modern" like SDC/Dollywood, so I'd prefer it simply resists the temptation to add back there for the sake of change. Aye, many a generic plaza were born this way. Skyhawk fits in well enough and is fun, but I don't want anything else crowding the aesthetic, creating more pavement, or chopping down trees. Same goes for the old-fashioned shops and petting zoo near Millennium Force: keep the pace slower, keep it shaded. Seeing Twisted Son of Mean Streak's 360 Revenge & Maverick be two kick-butt neighbors to one another is the only change I want to see! I misspoke, I did mean frontier town. My apologizes. It need to keep that laid back feel for sure. Adding more trees would not hurt either when they are done with MS. As for Rip Cord. (I don't believe this) I was talking to an employee, one idea they had (a while back) was to place it outside the park, near the beach area. But I feel that there is no room for that anywhere out there. Someone once said the shoot the Rapids area, but looking at all the construction they would still need to do to move it there would (in my opinion) not be worth it. Any other ideas?

Coaster19 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, that doesn't mean anything. I'm sure Richard Michael Crosby was his real name and the initials are just a coincidence... Good point. But you never know. If it does mean something then it was a cleaver to place it in front of our nose. However, since we have beat RMC over the head, and we will know soon enough, what are some changes people are looking forward to in Frontier Trail? (Besides a new coaster) I would like to see some new shops added to the trail. Maybe even a couple of new restaurants and a flat ride or two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Yep! I loved their Twitter conversation with Tony. It was awesome! 99% this is going to happen based off that conversation! I would love to see them in the park! However, it has to be a full menu type of thing. Now a water down version. If that makes sense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

To continue the sarcasm...The day RMC is going to convert a coaster like Mean Streak by May of 2017 starting in late September with a Lake Erie Winter, is the day my 5'7" self can dunk a basketball. Better get practicing then because we all know EXACTLY what business decisions CF/CP are doing for next year because we are ENTHUSIASTS!! (/end sarcasm) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

OMG OMG SF IS NOT USING RMC! This means that it HAS TO BE COMING TO CP AND KD!! Ok there we go! Anyways they are using them, with the three free spins by S&S. RMC may not have a lot of work for 2017 with these three tracks, but that could be for various reason that don't need to be discussed. What does need to be discussed: what do you think will be "new" with the Skeleton Key rooms? With 16 days till Halloweekends what are you thoughts? Have you ever been in a skeleton room? Are they worth it? Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

This is why I don't think cedar fair is done with announcements. I think we are still going to see RMC announcements for CP and KD. However I am so stoked for these additions at CW!! This makes me want to visit so bad. I love how they keep adding really unique and awesome flat rides!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I'm here today as well with my brother. All the coasters are a walk on or at most just outside the station, including Valravn. The longest wait we've had has been about 15 minutes when someone threw up on Millennium Force. We're having a fantastic day! It is a beautiful day to be here at the park! The only down side, I can't ride my favorite seat on Magnum. Anyways, PM me if you want to meet up for a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Thank you for finding the post. Sorry I don't have the best way to go through hundreds of posts to see if it has been talked about. All I have is a phone right now. Also, I learned something today! I did not know iron horse was a reference to a train. The bar did not know why it was called that, so thank you again for answering that question and helping me learn something. Also as far as I knew, Magnum was running two all day, at least every time I rode it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

That day is unfortunately coming. I'm really excited to see what's coming but I'll always miss Mean Streak, especially because it's very existence pissed enthusiasts off so much. Hahaha. This right here is to funny. All I hope is what comes next is just as "huge". I will miss how beautiful mean streak looks, but that is about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Interesting note. I was at the fontina trail brewery (can't remember the name) anyways under the list for "cedar point brews" there is a brew called "Iron Horse". As far as I know there is nothing called that in the park (speaking for halloweekends). Is this a clue for Mean Streak conversion? Being that every beer on that list is named after something in the park, except that one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I can already tell you which row he DIDN'T ride in. Hahaha. Truth. Edit. Did one more ride and rode in the second to last car and that ride was what I do remember it to be. It was tolerable. Guess the front has gotten worse over the years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
