Why are we just thinking more time on Gatekeeper? More people in the back of the park means more time on all four B&Ms! Okay okay. Some laps will be taken on Valravn and Raptor. gotta look out for the boat

Clearly the park is removing mean streak to add the big dipper. But really, less people in the front of the park means more laps on gatekeeper.

If any one is at the park today for coaster madness, feel free to swing by upper games by Apollo and say hi to me! I'm here all day!

Does Cedar Point still bring in a lot of Europeans to run the rides & live on-site during the year? Are they still around in October? Some of the European crews could fly, and they were often really friendly. I'd imagine there's more of a local hiring drive for Halloweekends, but surely it can't be total turnover from the usually-good regular staff. If CP internationals are anything like Valleyfair's, most leave by the end of daily operation due to work visas or schooling in their home country. There are a few that stay through til the end, but it's a small number. Why stay when they want hours but have nothing to do for most of the week? And I don't know the housing situation at Cedar Point, so I can't comment/speculate when it closes for the season--but that could be another factor. Cedar point actually gets a lot of college students for the summer. With bowling green being so close, and Michigan right there, they get a lot of those students for the summer. I'm not sure how many internationals they get.

This seems like wonderful news!!!

From what I have heard and read, the park is keeping close eyes on the storm. They are preparing for it by taking a lot of tables, trash cans, and other things like that behind scenes. "With the aforementioned hurricane watch now in effect for Orange County, Walt Disney World has deployed a number of specialty-trained Cast Members to begin what is known as a park-wide “tie down” which essentially involves removing all loose items around the parks and hotels, including trash bins, tables, chairs and anything else not firmly attached to the ground, and storing them in a secure location where they won't be blown around by the wind. In addition, anything that is loose but attached to a building (like a hanging sign or banner) is being tied down and secured with rope and zip ties (which, as you might suspect, is where this process gets its name). In addition, you'll probably see a scale back for in-park entertainment over the next few days (especially those that require any substantial props), as Disney will be putting away everything it can in preparation for the storm. " They are also letting people cancel or change their In addition, you'll probably see a scale back for in-park entertainment over the next few days (especially those that require any substantial props), as Disney will be putting away everything it can in preparation for the storm. with no fees.

Don't forget to take a picture here when at pinks!! And add me into the list of enthusiasts that love gatekeeper!!

Well...... Tell us how you really feel?

Okay, thanks! I was searching for about 15 minutes. Explains why I couldn't find anything.

OK, you win. It's being shipped to Dorney Park and is expected to open in 2018. Not as an RMC, though RMC is in charge of the relocation and re-erection effort. I can confirm this. Mean Streak will be placed in Hydra's current spot, however it's too expensive to remove Hydra, so they are simply building Mean Streak to be intertwined with Hydra. That is why they are taking it off piece by piece so reconstruction is easier. For the name, they are still deciding between Green Streak, Moldy Wood, and Hercules: The Revenge of the Revenge. That makes perfect sense. They will use the whole terrain and even the old footers in the pond from Hercules. And I would go with Hercules: The Revenge of the Revenge.

Did the park do special fireworks last night? I saw a tweet with a video of fireworks but can't remember who tweeted it. I'm pretty sure it was for the anniversary.

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if they completely ripped out the coaster and built something else there.

^^^ trains looks beautiful!! Did Rougarou trains arrive this early when they did that conversion???

^^ thanks!!! It's kind of weird how they announced this back in may? And haven't started vertical construction yet, but KI has already.

Random question: has the park started any vertical construction on InvadR? Ive saw from some Instagram accounts that they are working on that tunnel and land clearing.

Could the crane be to take all of mean Streak down, use the wood to build a shed, and house the boat there during the off season? Or is KI using their shed for boat housing?

That. Video. Those two shots of gatekeeper going through the key holes were amazing. Loved the one from the sky ride!!! Amazing work!

Fixed that for you. But back in early December 2015, while the world record breaker, Valravn, was being constructed, many people were complaining shocker about people posting photos of the littlest things happen, I.e. track piece coming onto site, a bolt being tighten, the usually. So someone posted a photo from the webcam and said a long the lines of "as you can see, a boat is leaving the marina" and then that started the whole boat thing. It went on all off-season.

It is that time of year again!! #BoatLivesMatter

^^^Same. and look at the circled area. Clearly see the color difference.

Um. Interesting.

No probably coasterbill! Maybe another day! And trick or treat was new for last year, and yes cornstalkers was up in the water park.

So the verdict is that it will open tomorrow. And after this weekend, they are hoping to get two more weekends out of it.

Forgot to add that the park is doing refillable hot chocolate mugs as well!
