Is WaterWorks with admission? KD needs to revamp it. CP should have Soak City w/admission since all the other parks do that.

I don't think anyone believes that would ever happen, in fact I think the person who brought this up specifically said no GateKeeper-like coaster. I'm kinda torn on the new entrance idea (not that itd happen anyway) as nice as CP's entrance is (not considering GateKeeper) CGA's ticket booths have been there forever, were recently renovated (at least on the outside), and are pretty iconic to me. Any improvements I think would have to still incorporate those original booths. P.S. I know, I have a problem with overuse of parentheses..its like typing with ADD I said NO coaster flying through the front people! Just a nice electronic sign, keep the carousel, but make some changes to get more people through.

NO! HW will not buy Intamin after Giraffca/Pilgrim's Plunge.

This is interesting. I wonder what they are going to be building. I guess GCI will go out of business soon, since they are losing 3 engineers. According to RCDB, they've only made 22 in the last 18 years. They are good, but I guess with RMC in the business, GCI just isn't making business while RMC is building all the woodies now in the US and Europe and The Gravity Group making the small, cheap, low maintenance ones in the US and China. If Cedar Fair buys from GCI, that's the only way there in business for one more year.

The Chinese.

They could ask some turkey squakings during the ride to make it cute.

Man.... that is a lot of hard work. And they ripped it all up. I wonder if RMC is doing this. But, Gravity Group could be doing it since Dan Koch has delt with them before.

It opens up on Friday, July 4th.

I know, when I rode it last year it was very smooth and had good airtime I don't know how it got so shaky My guess is bad maintenance due to them building Banshee they got a little too busy and forgot to do some TLC on Diamondback.

Michigan's Adventure. Horrible, especially for a Cedar Fair park. All they have Shivering Timbers, a hang and bang SLC and that it. Cedar Fair doesn't do much to this park.

Jeez. 6 min and 9 seconds before a train gets dispatched. I have seen 1.5 minute dispatch times, but 6 minutes. Get some new management or get Cedar Fair to take over this place.

GateKeeper is butter smooth. I like the back left. Definitely pulls some good Gs on you.

MIA would have re-track the whole thing if they want a return on the investment. Just throwing on some Timerliners will just make the ride worser. PTC hits the track when making a turn and that completely rips the track up. That's why parks don't add new trains unless it's PTC since they would have to retrack the whole ride it if they were adding Millenmum Flyers or Timberliners. GCI has retracked some parts of the ride before though.

Seems like it's worth $25. It makes the Gemini Midway looks even more livelier.

Update on Rampage?

Whoops. A Disk'O then and something else (Zamperla Air Race?)

Dan Koch will be a nice man and spend money on some awesome riders and not a BOOMERANG! Maybe Dan Koch will get a spinning coaster and/or an SLC for the revival of Alabama Adventure! Dan Koch will NOT buy a SLC.

An orange coaster would work well in the Thansgiving section of Holiday World. Orange and Turkeys?

What is the "E-Motion" concept? I didn't even know what it was until Robb put it on twitter.

Since Screamscape is absolutely reliable, let's just say Valleyfair is getting a waterpark expansion/makeover.

Glad to hear you had a nice day. That man was definitely strange. I've never heard such a thing. For the rides, did you have a Fast Lane or was it just fast ride ops all day? MF ride ops have been a bit slower, but that's okay. Also, Mean Streak is really smooth this year but I could fall asleep on it. Burn it down please!

Good to hear that there making progress on SteelHawk (or WindSeeker). Maybe they should RMC Timberwolf.

There is nothing wrong with the current entrance. The fountains and Columbia Carousel already make a really nice entrance area. I think he means just more of the "front gate area" coming into the park (from the parking lot to the turnstyles), not replacing the fountains and/or carousel inside of the park. That's what I mean.

Dan Koch will be a nice man and spend money on some awesome riders and not a BOOMERANG!

Would you like some flying scooters and a Disk'O just like my home park Cedar Point? Those two made the Gemini Midway area WAY more popular. The only problem is the CP's flying scooters loading time takes FOREVER!
