Skyrocket II's are soooo boring. They need a good launch coaster. Having never been on a Skyrocket II, even I can say they are definitely not boring. Maybe a little short? Yes. But definitely not boring. I have. They are boring. I must be missing something. Why are you so adamant about forcing your opinion on a Skyrocket II? I've ridden both Tempesto and Superman finding them both to be quite fun. It would be something quite different in the Midwest (meaning it would be very marketable) That's not the problem i have. It's the fact that somebody whom has never ridden a skyrocket II telling me they're good rides. They have too low of a capacity for almost any park. (except maybe Michigan's Adventure.) During haunt it would build up a three or four hour wait with the one train. I've been to Williamsburg. It took forever to get on with a two train wait. -

There's an area behind Saw Mill Splash (The over sized water slide that serves no purpose) that i'm certain that the park owns that. If they have a hyper follow the train tracks and turn around in the parking lot near the front gate. That would say "hey there's a park here." and that turn around would be very intimidating. (Like Wild Thing at VF) -

WOF has also done a lot of infrastructure upgrades in that same period of time (much like what SF has supposedly done) - the thing with WOF is that they are actually visible. I've been impressed with how ops have improved. I wish SF would take pointers, especially from food services. Coaster rumors are getting louder again. Next season may be the last season for the Forum/Heart of America ampitheatre What do they use the amphitheater for anyway. I remember way back when that path was open for visitors, but it's been closed off for years now. -

Same reason they bought Michigans Adventure and Kings Island Yeah, but GL was an hour away. KI is 3 hours away and MA is four. When CF bought GL the left it open for three seasons to see what the profits would be. I'm sure Six Flags was fine with having a park to compete with Cedar Point. Cedar Fair looked at it like this: 'We have to pay staff wages for park that doesn't make much in profit and takes guests away from CP.' It's understandable why they closed it. Sure it sucks, but with CP literally on their doorstep it was a good business decision. -

What else could it be though. I'm not saying it is, i'm just curious now. Sure. Two flat rides, a new front entrance, and a new coaster, and extending the operating season by two months, all in the same year, for a park with annual attendance of just over a million. Let's think long and hard about that idea. Okay, that should have been long enough to realize why that isn't happening. They also added Patriot and Prowler within tree years of each other. And with SFSL and SDC in the area why not try to make WOF the destination park in the midwest. Worlds of Fun will never match Silver Dollar City for me. Even if they were adding a giga coaster next year on top of everything else, SDC would still be the obvious winner. I don't get it though. Never been to SDC, but have been to WOF and SFSL. What's so special about SDC? -

The announcement is not for Haunt. That was on their facebook page as a comment from WOF. Here it is: (Original Question) New haunted house for Haunt??!!??! Because those are my FAVORITES!!!!!!! View previous replies Worlds of Fun Worlds of Fun Noooo....but def new Haunt additions this year! Check out website!! And KD presented fun pix and wifi at their press release. Something tells me Cedar Fair might be trying to one up Six Flags by waiting for coaster announcements. Like Mean Streak. Don't go crazy though. -

How do the restraints on this compare to a B&M hyper? Are they bigger or smaller? -
