My question is why on earth would people go into a maze with a "No Boo" necklace. I mean, its one thing wearing it to not get scared, and its another thing wearing it deliberately inside a maze to mess with the actors.
-
My guess would be a coaster would come when dinos leaves.
-
. At Hellside Farm, this jerk burped loudly in the face of the attendant and then started chesting up to him and saying this was all b.s. and not scary.
Ironically that's what the greeter did to me at employee preview night so much so that my glasses fogged up.

Quick Haunt employee preview report: Improved mazes: Asylum, Zombie High, Hellside, Bloodshed I was pretty disappointed with Graveyard, Humane Habitat,London terror, and Chateau I think the mazes have all good ideas but weren't well executed. Literally the actors in graveyard would just stare at you and stand around. Not to be harsh or anything but that's what I observed. Trails end is really cool though. Chateau's new building is nice but not much cast energy.

I'm baffled with how much hate the flyers are getting when really the posters have never even been on a ride of the sort. I thought they were quite thrilling at Cedar Point
-
I just want to quote a few of my favorite posts from before the announcement.
Finally I must give props to Valleyfairfanatic who actually hit the announcement right on the head with his post on 9/2
My final predictions: Larson Flyers near where chaos used to sit, some sort of development/demolition of the amphitheatre, and a large "VF 40" celebration of sorts similar to what Kings Dominion did.
-
I can see where they are frustrated, but I don't think its that big of a deal to comment 7-8 times on an Amusement Park's Facebook page to say how bad the announcement is. I mean, its just a theme park, there's more to life then them; and this is coming from a coaster enthusiast. You would have thought it was a worldwide tragedy.
-
Valleyfair just today removed the 2015 announcement from their what's new page. Just a sign showing what's to come tomorrow. Sorry, but there's no chance we get a coaster
If you double click on the "What's New" it will bring you to the H20MG expansion info.
-
Well it's obvious they are delaying the announcement because now the park is getting the flyers, plus...
1. A Mondial Frisbee
2. A ride like CanWon is getting
3. A B&M gate coaster
4. A Trio-Tech Dark Ride
5. A water park expansion with 3 new towers and a funnel slide
Foamers be foaming. *rolling my eyes*
I'm pretty sure a lot of people roll their eyes at your posts more than anything.
I like both these comments equally
-
I guess I'm just a pessimist. I see scooters and that's it for VF.
I'm kind of the same way but less pessimist, more realist. I think there will be more than just flyers (vf 40 event or something, and definitely some activity near amphitheater thats confirmed because of that permit)
-
This is going to be good. based on the recent history of Cedair Fair (2015), they only delay coaster announcements.
This made me laugh quite a bit
-
It's only 2:45 guys! Why would they say they were announcing it today and wait another day? The twitter has been active since that reply and I'm sure they would have noticed their mistake by now if they were actually planning to announce it tomorrow.
-
Just found a demolition permit for the Amphitheater!!! https://epermits2.logis.org/permits/permitdetails.aspx?city=sh&permitnbr=SH081520
Now we need the announcement!
Doesn't it say "Permit Type: Building, and Work Type: Remodeling/Alteration"?
-
Perhaps they're waiting for 4:00? I mean, it will be valleyfair's 40th.
-
Just off twitter: Announcement coming tomorrow!
-
Screamscape is now echoing the rumor that VF is adding a Mondial Revolution ride that will probably be called Delirium. Plus, Valleyfair will join up with almost every other Cedar Fair park in adding a set of Larson Flying Scooters.
I just checked the screamscape site and I haven't found anything that would suggest that they have been talking about on Mondial. Aside from us having zero evidence towards a mondial (unless i missed something), I think we should say "if" rather than "when." I'm not sure where screamscape is really getting that assumption.
-
The Valleyfair website had closing dates (they do it every year so most people know about) on their website. They may be taken down, I really havent checked that area of the website since may or june.

Insider Notice
Told by Dave Frazier, to MillerInsider (myself), Excalibur and Thunder Canyon will close for the season on Sunday, September 13th, during coaster camp out and dollar days. If Valleyfair opts to go with Excaliburs removal, which seems doubtful, Excalibur could have as few as 6 days left.
5 Days Till Announcement

Both of these pieces of information can be found on the Valleyfair site. You're starting to sound like coaster studios

I think Renegade's seats have been that dark brown color since last season when they were refurbished along with the restraints.

Nice pics! Thanks for that!
I gotta post this picture again (And for those of you wondering, I will not meet up with any users from this site. Just being cautious) Sorry about that just had to get my point across.
you're very welcome
-
Got some pretty cool snaps at the park. Just thought i'd share them.
-
I just had a fantastic day at the park! Thank you valleyfairfanatic for notifying me that the commercial shoot was happening! I got at least 10 rides on Wild Thing, and I got 4 on Power Tower!
-
Why did Valleyfair cut the park services? And have the ride operators do park services? Is this the first year they have done this?
Yes this is the first year. No one was happy. Because budget. Because they don't think we do enough already, IDK. It does say in our job description "other miscellaneous jobs" or something like that.
Valleyfair is one of the only (If not THE only) park where you had to be 18 to operate ANY rides position. However, they got special permission from the state to allow 16-17 y.o. to operate all but primary controls, including single operator rides. They wear the orange park services uniform, and then get the red uniform once they turn 18. They are titled "Ride Attendants" instead of "Ride Operators".
So the pay levels go $9.25/attendants, $10.25/operators, $11.25/leads, and $11.75/supervisors with the pay raise this year.
Keep in mind that they do have some people (me) working in rides areas primarily for Park Services work. (My apologies in advance for the double post)

I was really surprised that they took out weikilou quite honestly. I wish they kept that and Carnevil around. From what i've heard Carnevil was one of the better mazes.
