Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
richwoodrocket replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'll be honest, its fun to make fun of this coaster. There's so much to joke about this coaster. However, I think this is going to be an awesome coaster. This reminds me of when copperhead strike opened. Everybody complained that the coaster wasn't the tallest, fastest, and didn't break any records. Why does every new coaster need to break records? Surely these companies, (B&M, Intamin) are walking on the fine line of what the human body can actually handle. Not every new coaster needs to push the limits of technology. -
The only place I think they'd move it to is across the street next to the remains of cuda falls. I can't imagine they would move that coaster somewhere else just because of a power issue. I'm sure it would be cheaper to just upgrade the power, rather than move the whole thing across the park, possible demolish rides, and level out the area. Though I can see the power issue being plausible, as my friend who works for the park said that twister (rip) was not running a lot because it drew too much power, and would take away from the power capacity that the water park needed.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

I am sure it will be down for a while, if they felt the need to come out and say this. Probably at least a few weeks. Perhaps the part they need has to be specially made, and it isn't as simple as tossing it in a box and sending it over the pond. -
If they can use that to justify repainting it and adding a second train as a “new-for-2020” addition then yes I could totally see that happening. Otherwise I wouldn’t count on it. It’s like a pipe dream at this point but I’m still trying to have some faith that they’ll do something with these rides. Remembering back to when they did the new wraps on the viper trains, that was one of my favorite “little things” that they did that I wish they’d do to other rides too. Plus it’s six flags. I wouldn’t put it past them to spend $1-2 million on a new train and some TLC and call it new. Folks around here have wanted that for ages, it’s a perfect way to invest in the current infrastructure and claim there’s a new experience. New experience, aka the ride operating as Vekoma intended.

You really think I'm just going to let this go? Are there grocery store enthusiasts? "Weg-cation": Two employees visit all 97 Wegmans stores in one week https://13wham.com/news/local/two-employees-visit-all-97-wegmans-stores-in-one-week Personally, I have been to like 4 or 5 wegmans, and they're pretty much all the same. Well, one was a mirror image of my "home store," which was different, but other than that, haven't noticed much difference.

Moto could be on the way out... It doesn't look like it was ever even meant to be there permanently, sitting on a swimming pool. Maybe it's time is finally up. I don't think I have seen it advertised in any ads for the park that I have seen lately, or any SFDL instagram posts. If they removed motocoaster, tin lizzys, and the go kart track, there would be a huge plot of land for a big coaster. Wouldn't that be cool to have a B & M dive coaster either partly over, or next to the lake...
