The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
jrd64fan replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nothing to the coaster itself unless Busch Gardens Tampa decides to demolish the ride for something, but my guess is the trains got sent to Busch Gardens Williamsburg for Invadr. The trains were apparently used for InvadR. (which is a much better ride) -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread

What about a B&M wing coaster, but: -The vest part of the restraint is removed, leaving only the bars on the sides. (i.e. Family Inverted Coaster) -It is over 200 feet and has no inversions, making it a hyper coaster. -
Weird Coaster Facts
jrd64fan replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
From 1999-2017 Every MAJOR Coaster (Not counting Grovers Alpine Express) added at Busch Gardens Williamsburg was followed by a gap that corresponds to a number in the Fibonacci Sequence in reverse order starting from 8 going to 2: Fibonaci Sequence (for reference): 1,1,2,3,5,8... 1999: Apollo 8 year gap 2007: Griffon 5 year gap 2012: Verbolten 3 year gap 2015: Tempesto 2 year gap 2017: InvadR -

Some people just like to take the fun out of everything Can someone make a Cedar Fair ride name generator? We can use it to figure out potential RMC names for Mean Streak. -

Now watch when they announce 3 new kiddie rides for Planet Snoopy. And they are all themed to boats. -

So, first time checking out the funeral. 1. Why so many viewers still? 2. The video was GREAT. -

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

To me, Kings Dominion has one world-class coaster (I305), two very good coasters (Volcano and Dominator), one "interesting" coaster (Flight of Fear), and two decent woodies (Rebel Yell and Grizzly). Not a bad line-up at all. I didn't say it was a BAD lineup...it's just that the park seems like it should be due for a new coaster. (I might have a bit of a bias 'cause KD is my home park, but I try not to be like madmax ) -

Yes! Exactly! You stole the words out of my mouth! While Kings Dominion's coaster lineup is great,(Though not as good as BGW, imo) their lineup is starting to get stale. Also...the kiddie expansion is REALLY small. 3 rides? Even if they did do a Snoopy expansion, why not add a Vekoma (or less likely, B&M) family invert or a Pipe Scream/Surf Dog/Northern Lights style-ride that they falsely advertise as a new coaster? They have a bit of space where either of those options could possibly fit. (I think, haven't really seen either of those kind of rides in a couple of years.) And Kings Dominion is my (as of now) unchangeable home park*, and with its relatively large scale, I think that they should be getting a new coaster. *(I can change my home park, if I ask my parents** to move because KD hasn't gotten a new coaster yet. Yeah, right.) **(I<18 years old) -

Wait guys! I realized something! Kings Dominion is SLOWLY KILLING THEMSELVES! Allow me to elaborate: Kings Dominion got Intimidator in 2010. Intimidator's novelty wore off by the end of 2012. Wait...what's this? A NEW ANNOUNCEMENT!!!! Oh boy what could it be? Planet Snoopy...ok...KD can do a Planet Snoopy thing...that's fine... GP want new coaster though, so they're out of luck. Attendance starts falling. Cedar Fair thinks KD isn't a valuable asset. Company stops putting money into park. KD can't get big additions. KD is doomed. -

Even though I'm not completely a fanboy. This has got to be a joke. Cedar Fair just announced the closing of one of their parks. Their stockholders are upset. They need a BIG announcement to get their stockholders interested. 3 new kiddie rides, wi-fi, a kiddie pass, and a picture service is not a terribly BIG announcement. Also: Planet Snoopy Expansion Year Difference: 2013-2017 New Roller Coaster: 2010-Michigan's Adventure status -
