If only. It sucks knowing that KI has a coaster that should be ours. Personally, Kings Island can keep Firehawk for all I care. I'd rather lap Lightning Run multiple times anyways! agree!!!!! I see more Chance Morgan coasters in our future...... I think we will be the test park for them... if they're anything think like LR I'm coo with that!!!!! I actually picture CF being a big player with Chance testing, they have had good relations with them in the past!

I respect the fact that magnum was the first hyper coaster, hate the fact that it kills my legs. Padding would be nice on the lap bars -

In most parks, mean streak would be a big attraction. Biggest problem is that it is tucked back in the corner of a big park, and is way over shadowed by some big name coasters. Does it crack the top 10 in numbers? Clearly not. But look what is a head of it. -

That's right! I totally forgot about that. Doesn't CW's attendance exceed Cedar Point's? Yes but profits don't -

^ I am honestly surprised they never went with an Intamin prefab woodie at Cedar Point. Imagine if Intamin and RMC teamed up on CP's meaner streak! mind blown lol -

New trains on Maverick! I was hoping to avoid cedar point this year on my coaster trips, but with my favorite coaster getting rid of the otsr, and the mantisraguoe conversion I'm gonna have to try them back out. Now if they could just add the zero g roll back onto Maverick the best coaster ever made would be better haha -

I have ridden gatekeeper about 8 times. four in front and four in back. both sides twice. Back makes the ride a lot better. I would much rather just ride an invert. GK is graceful and smooth and beautiful, Its a solid coaster, though I found it kind of boring. All in all not bad. Id take raptor or Maverick any day of the week over it. Hopefully wingriders fizzle out and don't pop up at every park because there really are better choices out there -

I used to like the game day grill under raptor, but that's gone -

I don't think that B&M is cheaper than Intamin... Millennium Force was a 25 million dollar coaster in 2000. Fury 325 is 30 million today, but that's 14 years later. Today it would cost 34 million to build Millennium Force factoring in inflation. But at the time, B&M wanted over 30 Million to build a giga, and Intamin did it for 25 -

Intamins chain lift/elevator lift coasters are good for reliability. Launch coasters need more maintainance and tlc. B&M has only ever made chain lifts, thus better reliability. They have never pushed the envelope or gone outside the box. -
