^I love your photos! Absolutely beautiful. Great work!

Robb, do you want us to do that on the belated Valleyfair day? I should be able to take some, if you want.

I really hope that ScreamScape is wrong here. I just don't want to see Excalibur leave to be replaced with a parking lot. I hope the new coaster has a similar intensity level, with the high g-forces and awesome airtime.

I watched the new World of Colour show on Youtube, and I am blown away! I can't imagine seeing that in person. The scale of the show is so incredible! Awesome work, Disney!

I think that it is closed every first sunday of June, which is why Coasting for Kids is on a different day than all the other parks. I would say no for these, seeing that they are all 1/2 hour away. I would love to see a zipline at Valleyfair, but I don't think that that will ever happen.

Looks like it will be Timber Falls. Thankfully, we won't be going to Mt. Olympus.

It is really jerky, but it has a really good airtime hill which makes it all worthwhile. I had a fairly smooth ride on it in the front seat on Wednesday.

So, I logged into my fundraising page, and I found out that Valleyfair participants have an additional week to fundraise. 16 days for Valleyfair to fundraise! Also, thanks to your genorosity, I've raised my goal to $100, which was more than I expected to raise when I signed up!

Not sure, is it Mystery Mine at Dollywood?

Yeah, at Valleyfair I hear a lot of people say that they want to go on Renegade because they like the shakiness.

^^^That is incredible! I can't believe you only did it in a couple days. Looking forward to the POV About the coaster, I saw lots of really high banked curves, which I think is awesome! Should be a great coaster!

Renegade was extremely smooth today. It could be because of a lot of recent re-tracking, though. I love GCI, and I don't think they are finished.

I was at the park today. The heavy machinery in the parking lot was being used to replace dirt with rocks, so nothing important. I saw a Giant pile of dirt when I was on Renegade's lift, not sure what that was for. I didn't really pay attention to much because I was with a bunch of my friends, and it was too hot to pay attention to anything. I did realize that they had the other red tower running today. The one that is normally open was closed and the one I haven't ever been on was open. Maybe we'll see both red towers running in the summer

Can we still get in early, even though we don't have season passes? Thanks for the info!

I just saw this video from Jimmy Fallon, and I pretty much died from laughter I'm unable to embed this for some reason, so you'll have to click the link. Sorry! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_55fi0GTKTk&list=UU8-Th83bH_thdKZDJCrn88g&index=2

^^^^That looks like one of the worst, most painful coasters out there. Ow. An "Interesting" line-up, indeed.

I've never seen whatever that is in the Excalibur queue. I try not to look too far into things, but this is very interesting. Could it be hinting at the removal of Excalibur/a new coaster next year? What thing in Excalibur's queue?

I'm wondering, what is the fundraising deadline? I think that it is June 5th for most people, but is it longer for Valleyfair participants, since the event is on a later date?

Hey guys, I know that I've asked these types of questions before, but our trip is coming really close so I want to make sure we've got a good plan. We're most going on a Tuesday in early June, how are crowds on Tuesday, and when do the local schools get off? I know to get on Goliath ASAP, after that should we go to American Eagle, X-Flight, Raging Bull, Whizzer? Or should we go Goliath, Batman, Superman, then go to the back of the park again? What's the best way to go about the park, avoiding as many lines as possible. Also, how does SFGAm do in inclement weather?

So, since we are in the final stretch for donations, I'm making a list of all the Team TPR members that are below the $75 minimum in order from least to most. Here's how I'm organizing it: Amount raised- Name (TPR Screen Name)- Park- Fundraising link NOTE: If I don't have your screen name, that means that it isn't on the front page. $0 - Lorine - CP - http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1250963&pg=personal&fr_id=1371 $0 - Joseph - CP - http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1045426&pg=personal&fr_id=1371 $0 - William - Carowinds - http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1253501&pg=personal&fr_id=1370 $0 - Brittany - Carowinds - http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1224661&pg=personal&fr_id=1370 $10 - Bruce - Knott's - http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1016663&pg=personal&fr_id=1381 $15 - Holly - CW - http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1248481&pg=personal&fr_id=1361 $15 - Ashley - Carowinds - http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1248482&pg=personal&fr_id=1370 $20 - Teresa - CGA - http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1249813&pg=personal&fr_id=1360 $20 - John - CW - http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1254471&pg=personal&fr_id=1361 $30 - John (biker6) - VF - http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1248105&pg=personal&fr_id=1390 $35 - Jen - Knott's - http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1250643&pg=personal&fr_id=1381 $40 - Stacy (Shagon6)- Carowinds- http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1056467&pg=personal&fr_id=1370 $60 - David (Intaman) - KI- http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/CoastingForKids/General?px=1248608&pg=personal&fr_id=1380

Yep. Cedar Fair's website is where the un-edited version of the screenshot originated from.

Ok, that's strange. By the way, you can see it without inverting colours. It looks like someone took a screenshot of Cedar Fair's new website and edited that in. I think someone's messing with you.

I saw Robb and Elissa on Formula Rossa, but I didn't see them anywhere else. I didn't start watching until it was halfway through, though

Just saw on Facebook that Cedar Point is now SELLING selfie sticks.

Their next expansion is part of that investment plan. I do agree that the last couple years seem to be a build-up to something big, but I also think that there is more work to be done, such as the old Scrambler pad and the old Tilter spot. Right now, Scrambler's spot is concrete and Tilter's spot is dead grass. Something should be done with Scrambler's area because that is one of the first things that people see. For Tilter's spot, plant some grass or something. Other than that, I think we are ready for a large investment.
