Geauga Lake Discussion Thread
CP_RULES replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have ridden The Boss, and I'm not sure if it is the Gerstlauer trains, or the fact that the ride is designed by CCI that makes them so rough. CCI designs rides with high laterals and I think that may be the reason for their roughness... but then again it really could be the G-trains... -

Actually your quite wrong. Take WOF for example. As stated in this article, WOF attendance dropped under 1,000,000 for the first time in its history around 2003. Then came the addition of SD in 2004 and attendance went up just to go down again in 2005. Seeing that a small attraction wasnt enough, they added Patriot for 2006 and attendace went way up. CONCLUSION: A park with low attendance has low attendance because it has nothing to draw in the crowds. The GP who live around WOF were tired of the same boring crap until Patriot came along. A little river rapids ride may spike attendance for a season, but in the long run it wont do much. Location doesnt really have much to do with a parks popularity: if a park is good enough, people will find their way. MiA needs something big to pull in crowds, and I can see them putting in something huge within the next 5-10 years, and you can quote me on that! -

Can we honestly judge the re-track job on TW yet? Last I checked it still wasnt done! And if you're worried about the trim, when I rode it was barely even on. I think you're being a bit harsh on CF here. They may not have the best maitenance history with their woodies, but atleast they're trying! -
Isnt this thread the same thing?

Its official: WICKED! There is also a video made in NL that can be viewed at the link above. Looks cool to me! Its odd that we are seeing more LSM coasters now instead of LIMs. Reactions? This definitely isnt what I expected! -

According to Screamscape, Dorney is planning on keeping Laser, and even giving it some major re-hab: I still think that the only CF park that really makes sense to get X-flight is MiA, it seems Screamscape agrees: -

^WOF has plenty of room all over the place. Scandanavia, Camp Snoopy, Americana, and Africa all have room for expansion. The thing is I just dont see it going to WOF at all even if they do have tons of room. -
Fear of inversions
CP_RULES replied to youthink?'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The thing about Mantis isnt that it's rough, it's the fact that the seats are painful. Unless you bend your legs a little, taking all of those forces to the crotch can make for an unpleasant experience.... Anyways, about your fear, just ride B:TR when you go to SFStL because Ninja will beat you up a bit. Also, at WOF, simply ride Patriot, as Boomerang can also be rough, but not as bad as Orient Express. At CP, Raptor, Maverick, and Mantis should all be smooth. Stay away from corkscrew though. -

^The main reason I thought you were joking is just because its Cedar Point! Why would the infamous CP want a second-hand crappy Vekoma flyer when they already are getting Maverick!? It just doesnt make sense, and it would definitely not fit in at CP. -

I personally DONT think it will be going to WOF, they dont need it! Besides, that rumor about the GCI's for DP and then WOF actually have a lot of merit IMO. Just look at the rumors, what has happened in the past (Morgan Hypers), and what it happening now, seems convincing to me! I posted a thread about this over at Coaster 101 -
