Don't touch my Magnum.

Awesome!

Make sure you go on a weekend. The atmosphere is amazing.

Well Cleveland lost lol. In front of 15000 fans nonetheless

Funny how 2 years ago the Griffins and monsters were the cream of the crop and now tonight it's a battle for last place between these two teams.

How about a new maintenance building? Could move the one from the park and that would open up some room for rides.

With the temp being in the high 20s, I think it's safe to say that the park can operate, including some coasters considering they have the heaters in the station, it's just that they feel that it's dangerous for customers to get to the park given the crappy road conditions.

Just wanted to quickly say how much I enjoyed Winterfest. The lights were great and it was amazing riding a roller coaster like mystic timbers in December in Ohio. I'll post the few pictures I took but they didn't turn out that well because my phone didn't like the cold and honestly I didn't like having my hand outside of my glove long enough to take a decent picture. Enjoy: I LOVE this picture

Yep, it's Newton's Fourth Law of Motion. "A body in motion which wert built by Swiss engineers whose countenance shalt be initialised B. et M. shall remain in motion, the intensity of which is inversely proportional to the temperature of the surrounding air." --Sir Isaac Newton, 1712. Well done

Uh oh...

Q-bots for the win.

I believe Diamondback at King's Island still has a display like this. Yes but they haven't added or taken away from it in years. There's still blackberries in there

^ agreed. I'm glad with the current setup that we get plus for the regular price with our platinum pass. I can't imagine paying $80-$100 for just regular

Is that different from the last 3 years? It's been 4. I would've thought they would put SV on plus and take GK off to keep the number at 4.

Wow 5 rides on plus... Yikes.

Just fyi, happened to catch mystic running on the webcam.

VON ROLL

Thirsty Pony is your bar... Kalahari, Ghostly Manor, and other tourist trap type places.

^I wouldn't worry too much about the theming. They'll make it amazing. It's Dollywood after all.

The picture of Millennium killed me. Great report!

Great report as always. Always good for a laugh.

Thank you both and I totally agree with the beach bar idea.

The first drop on Steel Vengeance looks amazing, but I have to say that the pictures of Millenium Force are my favorites. Such a majestic and elegant structure! Thanks! I like to think I have a decent eye for pictures lol.

So yesterday was the Ride Warrior Club Holiday Party. The awesome PR people put together a Q&A and nice tour around the park, highlighted by a walk through the Steel Vengeance infield, and walking under the Millennium Force lift hill. Of note in the Q&A - Ride Warrior Club will not be returning for 2018. Basically the logistics of it weren't working out for the park. I know most on here don't really care, but for the locals who use Ride Warrior Club for the great events it's a shame. But it is understandable. - Steel Vengeance is obviously going to be ready much earlier than other rides if all goes to plan. Tony highly suggested getting your platinum pass for possible events prior to official opening day. Nothing confirmed but the possibility is there. - Not much of a surprise but Winterfest is not in the plans for the park. Not off the table but definitely wouldn't get your hopes up. - Front of the line passes from plinko, Tony's tweetups, etc will not be valid for Steel Vengeance for the 2018 season. They're expecting it to be just too much of a cluster to begin with so added in the front of the line/exit passes will just be too much. I took a pretty decent amount of pictures of the deconstruction of the stadium, Steel Vengeance, and Millennium and I'll post them below. Thanks to Tony, Kristy, and the whole CP crew for putting together a fun event, and thanks for a fun 2 years of Ride Warrior Club! Thanks for an awesome day!
