I'd be even more okay with a Hyper GT-X at either. -

What gear do you use? I hate to be THAT guy, but as an avid photographer myself, I am curious. Also, your dynamic range is absolutely beuatiful! -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

I think this thread may enjoy this: http://nytimes.com/2016/05/07/world/europe/boaty-mcboatface-sir-david-attenborough.html?referer= -
^Because the likelihood of either to me just seems low. Maybe if the idea was pitched to the Staff, but I can't imagine the park has considered this as the chaser light's on Eagle were removed and wouldn't have any ROI being constantly run. Colossus's lights wouldn't have much ROI either, but would sure attract attention from the Interstate. Both cost $$$ to install, run, and maintain. Sure both would make the park more charming and fresher. However, that's not enough considering that there are many things the park has yet to do to tidy up sections (which they have been). I would absolutely love to stand in the DC plaza, at the back of the park, or the front gate and watch a colorful wheel spin or see Eagle's lights heading off into the woods from a distance. Don't get me worng.

Amazing water slides
RollerManic replied to FLIPDUDE's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That suprisingly looks utterly amazing. However, i wouldn't feel too good about sticking my feet out over my raft. I would like a bigger raft, but thats not possible. -

Scaremongering. More views. Also, they called the ride Air Galatica?? Way to show you don't even know the name of the ride you are already poorly representing. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
RollerManic replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
HEY! The Screamin' Eagle is the reason to go to SFStL! There is going to be a cult following one day! Actually, the Screamin' Eagle is a fantastic classic that rides well and is full of good airtime. -
Hmm.. Do you think the park will add anything in the field the gravel maintence road under the second airtime hill leads into? There is a ton of space, and would be even more if they got rid of that weird rectangular pad. Also, do you think they would connect the path behind Thunder Run to Storm Chaser's plaza?

Nice trip report and pictures! My family and I were there as well that day, so we may have crossed paths at some point. One quick thing; it seems like all of your photos have a blueish tint to them. Did you take them all with an iPhone? If so, you might want to doublecheck and make sure that your camera doesn't have an automatic filter turned on by accident. If you open up the camera, then check down in the lower right hand corner; if the three overlapping dots are black and white, you're good. If they're in color, then you have a filter turned on. I found this out myself a while back when I went to Hersheypark and took a ton of photos, only to find out that they all had that tint to them, and I quickly learned that even if you hit that by accident, it doesn't reset itself unless you manually turn it off. First off, thank you for the compliment, I really appreciate it. I actually took every one of my pictures with a camera, a Panasonic Lumix DMC FH27 to be exact. And you are right, many of my photos do have a tint to them, but that's on its normal setting. Next time I go to any park, I'll change it up so that it looks clearer. Thanks! It looks to be a white balance issue. Set it to the appropriate weather.

^Yes. Today is one of the Music In the Parks days. My little brother is over there for MITP today, disappointed that Lightning Rod isn't open (shame on you Dolly!!). I hope you like middle schoolers and teenagers. -

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

I could have a drinking game right here on this thread everytime someone whine that KD deserves a new coaster. -
I don't understand why Six Flags hasn't installed a GT-X yet, other than not having dealt with Chance Rides yet. Do we know of their maintenance or their aging? From reports I've heard, they pull some good g-forces, and it would be reasonable to say they endure more wear (?). Anyway, where could one go? The Ninja likely won't be leaving.
