She wasn't ejected from the park??? That's assault by definition...

True but the park will still be blamed and receive a plethora of bad press.

Great TR! Love Banshee in either the very front or very back! It's such an intimidating ride cause it's so enormous, on few different occasions saw some folks (males mind you) walk up to queue entrance and chicken out lol Diamondback, first car, outer seat is my absolute fave at the park. And it's true the middle rows rattle quite a bit for a B&M By the way, happy birthday fellow Gemini

Possibly this topic is a bit pre-mature considering they only have 5 installations (one of which hasn't even opened yet). I think it may seem like oversaturation to us in the coaster community because they've been the biggest thing to hit the coaster industry SINCE B&M. From a business standpoint I think it's important that RMC does up the ante in number of installations. The general public getting to ride these masterpieces will only invigorate the theme park industry. The wow factor of a wooden coaster having multiple inversions will only get the GP talking, and talking leads to increased park visitors.

Yes those are quite annoying, tho it's not nearly as bad at CP as it is at my home park SFMM. Much more inner city crowd so they all wanna be the next Kobe

If HW can provide free soft drinks, why can't CP (who makes tons more money than HW) offer free locker rental in the queue station? And to prevent people from taking advantage, having their locker pop wide open the second the hour is up

I really hope so, just watching POVs on youtube makes me salivate over them

Viper at SFMM I was 11

Was this accident the single most influential in terms of parks being affected nation-wide???

If parks are worried about capital spending, the Chance version is half the cost

OMG it absolutely tears through the track! Do I dare say this coaster excites me more than Goliath, hopefully it gets it's due fanfare

Of the bigger Cedar Fair parks (in terms of attendance) Knott's is overdue for a BIG attraction. I'd love for them to get a higher capacity mega lite (maybe if Intamin says sorry to CF) or a Hyper-GTX from Chance. I think a giga would just be too obnoxious for the park's already congested skyline. Tho of course I wouldn't complain if one were put in.

So no more Pixi Pantry or Good Witch's Bakery??

I think that legend was put to rest when Yolo opened As far as Universal, they cater to a different market and don't really compete against each other

I haven't been to SFA in 13 yrs, but do they still have those ridiculous OTSRs on Mind Eraser that smell like old sweat???

Wow, excellent! I think we sometimes forget just how much work goes into constructing these things!!

Looks amazing

↑ good to know the crowds are turning out

Hopefully the person who wrote this song isn't a member on these forums reading all the lambasts

With the coaster wars long and gone, would love more of the bigger parks to get low to the ground rides. After finally getting to ride Maverick and reading rave reviews about rides like Alpina Blitz, and Lightning Run I'm so excited/hyped about this ride type. Hopefully the manufacturers can come up with a way to make these rides higher capacity.

With the space that Mean Streak occupies, they could easily fit a GCI dueling twister

People do the same thing in expensive hotels, I have a friend who works at a high end hotel in Beverly Hills the stories I've heard. People with money are no less trashy

Amazing deal for an amusement park

After my trip to CP, definitely Mean Streak. I can't believe such a high quality park has such a s****y coaster

Alternatively, Six Flags could avoid disappointments to media outlets and guests and travellers by actually starting construction at a normal time. I mean, how many Six Flags rides get delayed each year? Meanwhile, you've got coasters like I-305, built through three blizzards and torrential downpours, that open as-scheduled. I understand that delays happen - I work on engineering projects too. I just don't see how a company like Six Flags can be so willing to promise opening days year after year and consistently fail to meet them. Either announce an opening day of June 21 for every new ride, or start groundwork earlier. No decent business (or contractor, whoever it is that they keep using) should feel that it's acceptable to provide products so late so reliably. I agree, especially considering SFGAM is located in an area of the U.S. notorious for harsh winter weather. Be different if the park was in Southern California or Florida...
