I don't think that B&M is cheaper than Intamin... -

I've heard that Alpina Blitz is an amazing coaster (Nearly identical to an Intamin mega-lite), and that cost about 9 million, according to rcdb. That would be awesome, right? -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
GCI Wooden replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Is that similar to Prowler? I was surprised by how much I liked that coaster... Not sure, I haven't been able to experience the beauty that is known as Prowler (It's pretty unlikely, but I'm really hoping to get there to Worlds of Fun in August), but I can say that Renegade is pure awesome from beginning to end. -

VF could probably get something along the lines of X-Flight for $15 million Or possibly something like Flug der Dämonen at Heide Park, which costed $17,000,000. I would LOVE a wing coaster to come to Valleyfair, more so than an invert. -
What do you think of Fast Passes?
GCI Wooden replied to K1ngdaKa88's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
We always chuckle whenever we see someone in the fast lane line when the ride is a walk on. -
Hey, I just realized that the last day of school for Chicago Schools is on June 17th (It was supposed to be 16th, but they had to make up for a snow day, apparently), so that means that schools won't be out the monday that we visit the park. Do you think that Flash Pass would be necessary is the schools aren't out yet (As in, does the park get busy on days that kids have school)?

I was on the last train of the season on this beauty. Photo from TPR Park Index -
The rumor is that the park was looking into this but dropped the idea as the initial plan was to use GPS technology to allow the ride to shoot lasers and fire at the flat rides at pre-determined times throughout the season... destroying a few every year until the park had nothing but coasters. Sadly the park realized this was impractical and decided to go back to doing that manually every offseason. This post did not get nearly as much attention as it deserved.

They're available, http://www.bolliger-mabillard.com/product/flying-coaster In fact, Nagashima Spa Land is getting one this year. If you're talking Vekoma, they too, still make them: http://www.vekoma.com/index.php/experience-thrill-coasters/flying-dutchman That is something you NEVER here. -
