^ And it's at its fourth different park now!

It's very nice that SDC has this listed

Looking at the full PDF, Lightning Rod was only top for 20% of respondents. That shows how deep 2016 (and late 2015) was for new coasters. http://goldenticketawards.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/2016-GTA-issue_complete.pdf

Vekoma has built four models of the Invertigo design. All of them have been relocated at least once except the Kings Island installation (which has had a name change)

I would have to go chicken (narrowly). Parkitect or RCT: World?

Donkey I was kind of hoping that someone would mention Queen or Duran Duran after I posted Roger Taylor, as the drummers for both bands have that name (not the same guy)

To make it worse, you can't get a taxi or an Uber there. You have to Uber from Cleveland to get to Cedar Point.

Completely forgot about that ending! It's impressive how Universal got that much track into a (mostly) pre-existing building (the track goes over and under each other after the launched lift)

They lucked out with the weather this winter!

Roger Taylor

Whizzer (another SFGAm coaster!)

I'm glad you guys are finally getting some rain out there! It's clear and about 20 degrees F here

Especially if it's your first time to SFSTL

1. What is the farthest distance you've traveled to specifically visit a theme park? 6 hours (to what I consider my home park!) Universal/Disney trips weren't just for the parks 2. Your favorite coaster in the state you live in? Shivering Timbers (it's sad that the best steel coaster in MI is an SLC) 3. Would you rather wait in line for a boomerang (at any park) or a VR coaster @ a Six Flags? Boomerang (never ridden one!) 4. Have u ever been the only person in a train during a coaster ride? Nope, but close on GateKeeper last year and Iron Dragon several years ago 5. What is your favorite thing to do at your home park that does not involve riding something? People watching 6. Better time for ERT: Early morning or late night? Night 7. Name some theme park food that *sounds* gross, yet is oh-so-delicious? Fried Oreos 8. Name your top three "bucketlist" coasters you have yet to ride. Goliath (SFGAm) Banshee Voyage 9. Have you ever been E-Vac'd? Did you receive anything if you did? No 10. What is the longest length of time you've waited for a coaster? Almost two hours for Valravn and Millennium Force 11. Worst flat ride ever. Name it. Any of those flat rides that come to the local carnival 12. Your favorite SWEET treat at a park that is NOT your home park. All the candy at Universal! 13. Congratulations! After aggressively gambling on the Plinko game you finally won a front of the line pass. Which ride do you use it on? Home park - Millennium Force Other - Lightning Rod (so I could get on before it breaks down) 14. If you could have a lifetime fast pass to ONE attraction what would it be? Millennium Force 15. Have you ever been next to someone that puked on a coaster? No, but I once puked on Magnum's exit ramp 16. Your home park is getting a new B&M and YOU get to pick what type. Do you want an invert/hyper/dive/floorless/flyer/wing/standup? All of the above is not an option. Flyer 17. Name your favorite Vekoma. Either Rock n' Roller Coaster or Deja Vu 18. What water ride delivers the most unacceptable amount of wetness? The log flume at the Mall of America 19. If you were able to help design a coaster would you want it to focus on airtime or inversions/positive G's? Airtime! 20. Most comfortable trains/seats for a coaster are... Maverick's new trains have really improved the ride for me 21. Choose one: Unlimited front-of-the-line access to your favorite coaster at your home park for one season OR $1,000 cash? 22. You just got drowned by a flume/rapids/chute-the-chutes. Do you pay the $$ for the dryer machine or do you continue on with your day trudging around like soggy dog? I usually don't do flumes, but I'd probably shell out the money 23. What is the worst food you've had at your home park? Can't think of any 24. You're at Cedar Point. You have a one hour ERT session on ONE coaster of your choice. You choose... Millennium Force 25. Favorite (non-clone) dark ride? Men in Black: Alien Attack 26. What was your favorite park you visited in 2016? Cedar Point 27. What's your current credit count? Don't be shy. 49 What makes it more sad and pathetic is that over 1/3 of those are/were at Cedar Point 28. Winner winner chicken dinner! You just won a trip with hotel and airfare included. The catch is its only good for Six Flags America or Mt Olympus. Which do you choose? SFA, as Mt. Olympus is not flyable from where I'm from (it would be longer to fly than drive) 29. What is the best Intamin coaster you have ridden? Millennium Force 30. Your home park has to remove one coaster and one flat for an expansion. Which two rides would you be OK with losing? MA: Corkscrew and any spinning flat CP: Corkscrew and Super Himalaya 31. Song/music you've heard playing at a park that absolutely has not business being played in a theme park? Gangsta rap (even though I will boogie down to it 32. There's 5 minutes before the park closes. You choose to: Reride your favorite coaster in the park, OR get the new kiddie/junior coaster credit? Get me the credit! 33. Do you visit the waterpark if it's connected to the amusement park? Almost never. (A) more time for coasters and (b) I don't want to deal with a FFBFWMAG more than I would in the dry park 34. What 2017 addition are you most looking forward to? Since RMC Streak is looking more like a 2018 project, I would have to guess Mystic Timbers 35. What was the most disappointing addition to your home park in the past 10 years? Shoot the Rapids 36. The most overrated coaster ever is... I can't think of any 37. What ride makes you wanna vomit? ANY SPINNING RIDE! 38. What is the best consolation prize you've won at a games booth? Don't play games 39. And the worst? See #38 40. End this questionnaire by posting a picture of your favorite light package (coaster/flat).

Yeah, with the money they're spending on Hurler and Mean Streak in 2018 I didn't expect much of anything. 2019 is totally our year though... Now that Cedar Fair is finally getting into the RMC business, it almost makes me wish Hercules was still around to get the treatment. It probably would have broken someones back if it was open another 15 years though. Hydra was for the best. However, CF only went with Mystic Timbers for 2017, so I could see another coaster in addition to Mean Streak and Hurler, likely to Canada's Wonderland

All aboard the Lex Express (not to be confused with Lex Luthor)!

To make it worse, it's diarrhea. You leave stuff behind in a locker.

A couple of weeks ago for my grandma. When was the last time you flew internationally?

Yep... http://www.themeparkreview.com/uk2006/pleasurewood/pleasurewood1.htm Now going back and reading the 2006 TRs. I remember going through these when they first came out.

My guess is 2020 or 2021 for Dollywood's next coaster (my guess is a B&M invert), since SDC is getting a coaster in 2018

How was the weather? I'm guessing it must be decent as most of the rides were open
