Valleyfair (VF) Discussion Thread

I also drove by Valleyfair tonight just to take a look at North Star. The red and white light's look cool. I could see the LED lights coming from hwy 101. I think North Star will be fun to ride at night with the LED lights. -

With the new improvements would this help to run all three trains on busy weekend's with out any problem's? I'd like to see trains like Diamondback on Wild Thing B&M hyper trains make it even a better ride. -

I drove by Valleyfair on the way to work. North Star has a great view coming from hwy 101 makes the sky line better. Just wondering are we going to see maybe a theme que line with red, white, blue covers over the que like Power Tower has so it doesn't get so hot waiting in line? Have some shade. Weres the ride enterance and exit going to be? -

Looks like construction is moving along nicely possibly due to the nice weather past few days could see why they wanted the ride to be done by end of December. I'm wondering if the tower will be done by next weekend? -

It is the last weekend of the season . I'm looking forward to 2017 Northstar opening next season. Are we going to see any more rides leaving in 2018 for new ones? Was Northstar in this year's budget? -

I know that Valleyfair wants to expand Soak City is it possible that some of the water slides at Wild Water Kingdom would be re located to other Cedar Fair parks? -

I got in line about 4:30 pm Wild Thing went down at 4:45 pm for mechanical issues. They stopped the train on the lift hill had one parked in the station. It was down for about twenty minutes I waited it out was in the front row. Seems like maitnence crews we're working on the final break run area coming into the station. They seem to fix the problem Wild Thing is up running again after 5:00 pm. -

I drove by Valleyfair on 101 saw Wild Thing was doing a test run maybe it might be open later on? I also saw Excalibur and Xtreme Swing were both open. I'm in the main lot now and I can see Wild Thing doing more testing. Possible the flood waters have gone down. I also was wondering about the annoucement on Thursday? Wild Thing is up and running. -

I'm planning to visit the park later today. Is the back of the park closed from yesterday's heavy rains flash flooding? Why is Wild Thing closed are there some areas of Wild Thing under water? I don't remember the last time Wild Thing was closed for flooding unless there's something else wrong? I have seen Wild Thing down this year but sometime's it will open back up later on. -

I think the first year of the dino contract at Valleyfair was May of 2013? Would that be right? -

If they were to remove Excalibur for the next water park expansion. Would it be possible if Valleyfair wanted to re locate Excalibur to another Cedar Fair park perhaps Michigans Adventure? -

My speculation is that we're not going to get a new coaster till the Dino contract is up. I just don't see Valleyfair getting a new coaster untill 2020. I think in 2018 we will see a new Enterprise replacing either The Monster or Super Cat for rehab in 2018. -

In the article it'll says "new heights coming in 2017". Hint. I'm still going to guess it's a Wind Seeker. If that's all we got I would be happy. The height of 301 feet would be thrilling for Valleyfair. This would be the tallest ride ever at Valleyfair. -

If the Enterprise will leave for a year for rehab I believe we'll see a new Enterprise for 2018 season. My speculation is its going to be either a Wind Seeker or a Star Flyer to replace the Enterprise. How about the Supercat or Monster are they also going to get rehabs done at the same time? It will be different not to see the Enterprise in the same spot for 2017 I will miss it is one of my favorite flat rides at Valleyfair. Why is Antique Autos leaving? I'm on my way back from Kings Island I did ride there Wind Seeker as well it was open all day both two days I was there. What are the mechanical issues for Wind Seekers? -

If Valleyfair were to get a Wind Seeker couldn't we go as high as 275 feet? Maybe get something like Storm Chaser smaller one like the one at Adventureland in Iowa? Is our max height 275? -

Just wondering has anyone gone through the Dino area to look around and see if there are actually any signs of markings?
