Worlds of Fun (WOF) Discussion Thread
MagnumFreak25 replied to OzCatter's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
CF did not dump intamin! They had rides like Gatekeeper and Leviathan planned well before there were problems with Intimidator. They will build more intamins in the future but they're building rides that Intamin can't build (Banshee,Gatekeeper.) -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

That would could be for extending the structure to support the new RMC....... but there would definitely be a lot more teasers if it was that huge of a new ride/. -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Yes, I know how the business works and agree with you on the above. But what I'm getting at here is that I don't think the ridership on those rides has suffered to the point of removal or change. The Mantis to Floorless conversion wouldn't be that cost-effective (Sitdown maybe, but I don't think the layout would be fun for a sitdown without reprofiling), RMCing I guess I could see being there. But on your personal note, does John Q public feel that way? Last time I was at Cedar Point, Mantis was at a two hour wait. I'll admit that even I was surprised, but I don't think ridership is super suffering on those rides. The Gemini Midway improvements this year have proved to give a great ROI to the park. Tony stated in an interview that they do plan at looking around the park at what areas need to be refreshed or improved. I would not be surprised if the Blue Streak Midway was next. With the haunted house located at the Point Pavilion now axed for HalloWeekends, maybe that front area of the park is next. My bet is that nothing will happen to Mean Streak or Mantis this year outside of one of them probably getting the "King James" name for a bit. Those have some of the lowest rider ship in the park. On the busiest of days Mantis generally won't go above half an hour and Mean Streak will always take longer to walk to the station than actually waiting. When they took out Disaster Transport it was still getting waits over 2 hours. If they are gonna update an area of the park my bet would also be the Blue Streak Midway but the Maverick/Mean Streak area and Mantis/Iron Dragon areas are in a need of a refresh too. -

If they announced by the end of august you could get your final ride in during Halloweekends. -

If they were announcing Mean Streak this year it would probably take at least till may to take down old wood and track. Then they would have to re-build it with new wood sections and Hybrid track which might take till 2016. I don't know how long ago that was said but it could have been planned recently. -

A long line on Mean Streak is a one train wait and there isn't a single person who says they want to ride again. Mantis is liked a little bit more but everyone I've talked to hates it. -

I've been on Nitro and Goliath and I can definitely say that B&M is capable of building a helix that grays people out. -

They pretty much are guaranteed and to happen eventually, they're the two worst coasters in the park and like Disaster Transport need to be and will be improved. -

If it does get new trains it seems like floor-less is the best option. They already have rides like Maverick and Corkscrew which would be a little bit too similar I feel. Plus the GP would get more excited over floor-less than plain sitting down. -

So I've been trying to install a zacspin CT (realtycoon3.com/realtycoon3/Forum2/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=69) but I keep getting a no SVD: for :SID error and I can't figure out what's causing it. If anyone knows it would be extremely helpful. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

I was at Wild Water Kingdom yesterday and the person behind me in line said that "Gemini's like 700 feet tall and goes about 350 mph!!!!! They should build that here!" -
