Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Don't worry this thread is spicy. Consequence of becoming a good park. -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Are most hotels still doing this? I just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in rural Arkansas for work and they had their breakfast and all usual amenities open. It IS rural Arkansas, but I feel like even here in Kansas City most things are back to "normal" in terms of general operational practices that were changed due to COVID. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

What does one do at a facility for horse racing when a horse race is not happening? The Louisville Slugger Museum certainly won't hold a baseball game, but I doubt a museum about baseball [bats] is going to be exciting for someone who doesn't like baseball. Going to KK would add another park chain and would void the benefit of the double Cedar Fair parks with season passes (not to mention I can get my home park out of that too... not that that is much of a benefit). The Bourbon Trail is more up my alley. Like I said, call me different, but I don't recall asking for anyone's opinion. My therapist prefers to call it sassy. -

^Yea call me different I guess. Horse racing is a laughable tradition, baseball is boring, KK closed for a reason, I don’t know what an ark encounter is but sounds terribly religious, and we have a Great Wolf here in KC I have proudly never been to. TTD is a one trick pony but it is one of those experiences that stays with you for a lifetime. Like seeing the Grand Canyon or skydiving. We will go to KI someday, but I don’t think this year is the one. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

I really really want to go to KI, but now that TTD down for the season at CP has been confirmed I am not sure... My husband is not an enthusiast and only entertains these trips for me. He asked me where I would want to go to include a park too, and Ohio was where I said. I am not sure Cincinnati provides enough of a draw for a whole trip for us. As a non-enthusiast, TTD was a must for him and CP was the icing on the trip. I also have HUGE doubts about Mystic Timbers based on my Prowler experience. I would go into it with super low expectations, surely it could beat those. -

You can certainly see those trims tugging hard on the drop, maybe it is extra hard for testing, maybe not. Either way that footage looked great! I am considering an Ohio trip with my husband to introduce him to Cedar Point and we would stop at KI as well. Neither of us have been to KI, but the Beast is a ride I have been wanting to ride for years. Glad to see it get some love instead of being torn out or even RMC'd! -
Six Flags St. Louis (SFStL) Discussion Thread

Pretty sure that was at SFOT. Regardless, no one gets their joke. -
Valleyfair (VF) Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to the_rock401's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Aquatrax. Shared pumping station with Thunder Canyon. Only thing that makes sense! -
I skipped this ride when I went last summer, not regretting it. I took a video of it because I thought it was cool to watch but when you watch what the riders are experiencing its a lot of moving metal around you while you stay in one spot and gently rock around. Too many complex moving parts for it to ever operate reliably. It looked like a more complex top spin with a worse ride experience.

Icon Park - Drop Tower opens today
CP_RULES replied to tndank's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The recent report I saw led me to believe they knowingly adjusted these seats to be the “larger guest” seats (like B&Ms have designated seats) and directed him to that seat. I don’t have a source to cite though, I’ll find it if someone calls me out. Yuck, it makes me sick to think it was someone’s manual adjustment. -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I guess I just wonder why parks keep building these when they don’t even attract guests when they’re brand new. It sounds to me like you would have found yourself at the park this year regardless of Tumbili. Not every ride is going to be a huge magnet ride, I get that, but in my opinion the free-spin fad needs to die as soon as possible. For those that like them, there’s plenty already built! -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
So to be clear: the new ride is good… BUT, you went to their second, third, and second-to-last newest coasters first and got the new one “for the credit.” Noted. -
It is hard to tell from the pictures, and I get the turntable isn't going to LOOK like much has changed, but Auquaman looks about the same as it did when I went in June 2021... The Mr. Freeze incident is concerning only because the ride(s) are becoming quite old and I wonder how much longer Six Flags is going to be willing to maintain the old LIM system. The Freeze clones are some of my favorite rides of all time, so hopefully they figure a way to continue operating them for years to come.

Am I the only one that gets rocked like a baby to sleep on these rides? -
Worlds of Fun (WOF) Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to OzCatter's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You mean you went right before they started closing for a huge chunk of the summer season and there were lines?! I went in 2021, things were back to usual. Worlds of Fun is still just WOF, crowds won't be there pandemic or not.
