  1. Invertigo at Kings Island.
  2. From what I understand, the chain that a park is owned by does have an influence as to what is added to a park but, the General Manager of a park and their team make the final decisions as to which rides should be added or removed from a park.
  3. Splashtown
  4. Vortex at Canada's Wonderland!
  5. Only because Leviathan came before Fury 325. I haven't been on Fury 325 yet but, I can say that Leviathan does give a smooth ride even though it may not produce much airtime and not too much force as hoped. But, Leviathan is still a great coaster despite it may or may not be as great as Fury 325. But, all I can say is I still prefer Behemoth over Leviathan due to the amazing amount of airtime produced throughout the duration of the ride! My guess is that Kings Island won't receive a new coaster until 2018 and it may not be a large Giga coaster but, it could possibly be one with tons of airtime and force which in my opinion will satisfy many people.
  6. I agree. Many people are saying "the park built this" when really the park had a manufacturer come in who either had a design or help the park design a coaster in some way. Then, the manufacturer makes and constructs the coaster and has it installed at the park. I know I left some details out but, that's the basics of the process. But, in some cases, the park does construct an in-house ride or coaster which can be good or bad depending on who well it was constructed and what materials were used. Also, this kind of relates to people thinking that the coaster (example Vekoma Boomerang) is a unique installation, when really there are a couple dozen of coasters with the same layout because the manufacturer was able to make this design a more less expensive installation for parks that the general public will essentially eat up, despite how enjoyable the coaster actually is.
  7. Maybe (if you were stating your personal opinion), you should have said something along the lines of "It's highly unlikely that Cedar Fair will receive an RMC in 2017" rather than creating a fact/statement that has no proof.
  8. It's either a wooden coaster at KI or a Top Scan at Fantasy Island. Yes, that's what I was hinting at. Or, it could be the new KMG XXL at PNE Playland that opened in 2015. Another thing that bothers me is how people will refer to The Mighty Canadian Minebuster as either "Minebuster" or "The Great Canadian Minebuster" if they're going to try to attempt the full name. How hard is it to look at the sign and see the coaster's real name? Another funny thing I've heard someone say is "I'm never riding an inverted coaster again because Flight Deck was very rough". I was thinking to myself at the time that there are other inverted coasters that are much smoother and greatly enjoyable than Flight Deck. I've been on a couple of B&M and Intamin inverted coasters to realize that. But, I did find the Vekoma Invertigo to be quite enjoyable. It's quite sad to think that some people only think that there's one roller coaster manufacturer of inverted coasters.
  9. This year is the 35th year of operation for Canada's Wonderland as the park opened on May 23, 1981. I could see this happening for the 40th which will be in five years. But, I doubt an anniversary has anything to do with what will be coming to the park because Leviathan opened in the 31st year of operation.
  10. Here's my small list: Canada's Wonderland (2009-present) Kings Island (July 2014 and June 2016*) Dorney Park (June 2015) I plan on adding Cedar Point to this list this summer. *EDIT: I did not end up going to Cedar Point this year. Instead, I made a second visit to Kings Island again in June to ride the rest of their coasters I didn't ride during my first visit back in July 2014.
