  1. Camp snoopy, route 76, dinos alive, and this slide tower are all good sized additions.
    Yes, they are, but I am upset that the park has gone so long without adding something thrilling in the dry park. I don't know why people think it's so outrageous for a little complaining after 8 years of nothing thrilling in the dry park. Especially when you compare the park to the other CF parks and what they have been receiving recently.

     

    It's a bit early to classify the slides as "not thrilling" if you haven't been on them yet. I tested them last Saturday and let me tell you, they are VERY thrilling. I wouldn't really classify the water park additions separate from every other addition in the past because they are still in the same park being Valleyfair. I think as long as we got something thrilling in the so called "wet" or"dry" park, we should be happy for the meantime. Coasters aren't everything to a park, and there are a lot of things Valleyfair needs before a new coaster IMO

  2. The passholder preview was great- i just did a quick review on my blog if anyone is interested. Can't wait for opening weekend, the wait is almost over!!

    Good to hear that you enjoyed the preview day. I'll be at the park on Saturday, and it can't come fast enough.

     

    Did you notice any new changes in the park that we weren't already aware of?

     

    Sorry to butt in but I noticed the park got dyson air blade dryers, and new ground speaker systems from what I observed.

  3. I would hope Raging Rapids never leaves. Those are relatively rare, and it's one of my favorite things at the park.

     

    Hurricane Falls, I could personally care less, but I don't think it would leave. It's too much of a waterpark standard, and has one of the longest waits on hot days.

     

    I would really want Raging Rapids stays, the unpredictable nature of the ride is what makes it unique. I wouldn't mind them taking out the old speed slides either. Raging Rapids was closed for a majority of last year though.

  5. The first phase was the wave pool, the second is the new slides. Not smoking dip and dots, that is the current plan, it's not written in stone but it comes from someone in the know in the physical plant.

     

    But really, why would they tear down a coaster, to make a parking lot the park doesn't even need? And they won't put in another wave pool, no water park needs two.

  6. ^ I'm assuming so, although I've never heard stuff like that from working at vf. I wouldn't know why he or she is releasing that much info (assuming it is true) because wouldn't you get in trouble for releasing company secrets? Another issue, why the heck would they tear down a coaster for a redundant parking lot to be built? Keep in mind that according to garyman that GM Frazier does not want to tear down any coasters at this time.

  7. Looks like Power Tower is testing today.

     

    And Riptide. And Xtreme Swing. The park is starting to come alive again

     

    By 2020, I think that we can definitely expect a new inverted coaster, dark ride, major new flat and a much nicer waterpark!

     

    Since Valleyfair floods so frequently, I could see the dark ride being themed to a river monster or something along those lines...

     

    I had job training today and I saw quite a few rides testing today. It gets me excited for this season!

  8. For the CF dark ride situation where could one go at VF? Matt Ouitmet said there are available buildings at all 11 CF parks. I would guess on using the building they use for the Zombie High School, though they could relocate the bumper cars to Route 76 and use that building.

     

     

    Mr.Ouitmet also stated it is unlikely there will be any other dark ride additions until after 2016.
