This may sound stupid, but Does anyone think that maybe KI could run Banshee trains backwords for a couple months? Sort of what Six Flags does with their Batman rides -

Did they test Leviathan with the Brace on the drop? I could see them doing this. -

i think the little things they are using right now can take it off, they'v already packed up all three cranes. -

Honestly, like all other viewers of the webcams, im surprised we haven't seen a single piece of track out in place this week. I did see that weather wasn't good last evening. Maybe they're just waiting on track? who knows. Thoughts? -
Valleyfair (VF) Discussion Thread
drummermattk replied to the_rock401's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Just wondering if anyone has seen this, on Valleyfair's webiste, under Thrill rides, they have listed that Excalibur will close September 14th. Is this normal or will it be removed? Thoughts? -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
drummermattk replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
i think i did read somewhere, might have been Screamscape or Cedar Points facebook or a rougarou files video, but someone from Cedar Fair stated that if the conversion from Mantis to Rougarou goes well, that theres other Coasters that they are thinking about transforming.... any thoughts? -

Looks like the foundation for the new zamperla family ride has been poured. Now just waiting for assembly to start for the new rides . -

i can see VF getting a windseeker since its one of the only Cedar Fair parks without one -

Maybe the memo the news company found was just a decoy and this new dive coaster is heading to a smaller park, like VF or DP? -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
drummermattk replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The struggle of a teen that will be 18 and no license. Honestly a week long trip to Kentucky Kingdom, Holiday World and back to my home park KI would be nice! 2 new coasters to ride and lots of credits to add to my count. Sadly idk when i'll make it to Indiana. Question is what record breaking world class attraction are they gonna build next -

honestly I've rode diamondback at KI with the seat belts added on and in my opinion, if you keep the restraint a little loose, the seat belt doesn't take anything away from the ride. I think its just a safety thing so something doesn't happen like it did Down at Six Flags Over Texas. -

^ thanks. i like how B&m is theming their coasters stations now. Fury Station is gonna be bad a**. Banhsee's station is sick as well. Wondering whats in store for the next coming years, wonder if B&M will put another good coaster in at Carowinds and KI in the near future -

Does anyone have any updates on how the station looks? -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
drummermattk replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Honestly i think Vortex's days are numbered. Either it starts to break down alot, doesnt pull in al ot of riders, or parts become to expensive, i could see them maybe putting a winged coaster in that area, or maybe an intamin blitz. Maybe we'll see some construction signs at the beginning of the season. Im ay sound like a broken record and i know Rougarou is not a new coaster, but KI usually gets a new coaster a year after CP does. -

the area between flight of fear and the racer seems like a nice place to fit a station in at. That was actually the first spot that came to mind. I wouldn't mind seeing something Intimidator 305 at KI. -

I can see them doing this if Cedar Fair ever works out a contract with RMC question is where would they put it. Maybe in Vortex's place? I love Vortex for what its worth but over the years its just getting rougher and rougher every year. -

but gemini in my opinion was a little rough when I first rode it this past october. it is a great ride though. even if only one side was running -

not to change the subject, but i might sound like an idiot. I think CP shouldl run the last two cars on gatekeeper backwards, like Thorpe Park does with the Swarm -

after riding Banshee 103 times this past year, it is a hard to put your hands up but on the sides it is easy to stick your arms out
