  1. are you looking for how much an individual 4 person car weighs or a whole 24 person train?
  2. Cedar Point and Magic Mountain if you are looking for only quantity and quality coasters. There are a bunch of parks that have nice collections in smaller numbers though!!!!
  3. 2020 continues. I really kangaroo on our visit. Are we thinking budget cuts or some good new stuff planned?
  4. I can never remember what is and isn't allowed to be posted, but on another site there are pictures of bamboo themed supports and S&S free spin track. Should fit the safari theme well!
  5. Glad to see Cedar Fair sell it, and get a little money coming in
  6. Yea I would be worried when trying to evacuate someone that the train would be imbalanced and would start moving
  7. I guess my thinking was with Knotts, Disney and Universal fighting for the same guest Six Flags would need something to market.
  8. I was serious. In the competitive Cali Market I think MM wants to be able to brag first park to 20 coasters! I am by no means a maintenance worker. I am sure though that Superman, Tatsu, Ninja, Yolo, Riddler, Viper, WCR all need crazy attention given age or tech on those rides
  9. I cant picture MM removing a coaster before they claim first park to 20 coasters. I picture them removing Jet Stream or tidal wave
  10. Did this park ever get timberliners for great white?
  11. Least they are trying something. The sticking there head in the sand approach has been interesting
  12. The ride with a joystick is a chance uni coaster. They are easily one of my favorite flats. I rode the one at mall of America and I couldn't stop laughing
  13. I just rode it for the first time Saturday. My first ride was under whelming. My second ride later in the day was a better seat, felt faster and seemed to be better paced. The speed hill really makes the ride. I would take rides like Fury and Mako over Orion but Orion is still very fun and very rerideable
  14. Orion Kings Island Oct 24th! TP posted earlier
  15. A zierer Starshape seems like a pretty big deal. Not common around here at all.
  16. So we finally got to Kings Island. Everytime we planned on going in the past something would come up that would prevent us from going. We went Saturday the 24th. Thank goddess for fast lane! It was also our first experience with funpix. We have avoided parks this summer that required masks but with how chilly it was the mask was actually nice to keep the cold air off my face. We started the day off with Banshee. I have never met a B&M invert that I did not love..... Until this ride. The vest got tighter and tighter throughout the ride. I have been on all 5 coasters in America with the vest and they are not for me. It also had a vibration that I am not used to on inverts. I could see how the layout would be very good otherwise sadly. Next was the Bat. This was a very fun coaster. Good swinging. Way better then Iron Dragon which is my only other suspended coaster. Invertigo and Adventure express opened late so headed over to the Racer. We did the blue and red side. I found it to be a pretty smooth ride given its age. Decent pops of air! Orion was next. My first ride was underwhelming. My later ride which was a fastlane walk on was better. It had warmed up and felt fast. Smoothest coaster in the park. Someone else said it best that it is a gentle giant. First drop is steeper than I anticipated. First drop and speed hill were best parts of the ride Backlot stunt coaster was the surprise hit of the day. That death delix out of the launch was great. This would be a perfect coaster for spinning cars Flight of fear was fun. Launch was good. First cobra roll and ending corkscrew were great. Everything in the middle didn't do much. Rougher than other premier coasters that I have rode. But Banshee and Diamondback were also rougher than their counterparts so theme of the park lol Beast is a legend among gp and enthusiasts. A ride so big in lore, The world's longest wooden coaster. Broke every record out when it opened............Was not for me. Grouperut me on a rear wheel seat and I felt every bump and pothole. Between the trims, and rough ride and lack of any airtime this was a one and done for me. I can see how it could be fun with some drinks and a night ride but a midday sunny ride did not live up to the hype Mystic TImbers was my most anticipated ride in the park and it did not disappoint. Had a bunch of quick transitions and quick pops of airtime. I am torn between this and Orion as the best ride in the park. I am leaning towards Mystic though! Diamondback was fun. Grouper actually gave us back seat. Had a noticeable rattle but did not take away from the ride. Had that nice classic floater air these are known for. Third best ride in the park after Mystic and Orion. The hammerhead turn around felt more forceful then others I have ridden Adventure Express was a neat mind train. Liked the theming on the final chain lift Invertigo was fun. I used my SLC trick, I hold my head all the way forward out of the restraint to avoid any head banging. I am sure I look stupid but makes them good rides. I would say most forceful ride in the park Skyline chilli lived up to the hype. We had a 3 sample tasting card in our group. We tried pizza and cupcakes with the pizza being the better selection We walked away with way too much merch. Great Merchandise in this park. Sorry I had my phone in a locker most of the day so not a lot of pictures Very very very nice park. Easily in my top 3 Cedar Fair parks. I hope to return soon -- GRSUPERCITY
  17. Im sure Disney is a huge tax generator. Let the park and hotel tax dollars not show up for a year and see who needs who more. Florida was smart and realized Orlando lives off the Amusement industry
  18. They should sue. Cali needs a wake up call. I was hoping they were going to follow Florida's lead
  19. S&S seems to be having a decent year this year. Glad to see them chugging along!
  20. That looks sweet! Seriously S&S comes up with the neatest stuff
