Haymaker

Another reason hes full of s**t is that all the coasters have 2 trains except ROS.

LOL, how did that conversation even go? Kid is in 8th grade, he doesnt know s**t about what is or isnt coming

Well, as you can tell, I tried getting some info out of him lol. Was worth a shot But either way, wnycoasters has replied to instagram posts of DL with info and stating he has connections as well. Who knows, maybe he’s actually legit. Would be nice if we’re actually getting something big in coming years. I doubt it, the kid might not even be out of puberty.

The ME train(s) was actually my guess for the small addition earlier because I had heard that the ME trains were at the end of their service life. So my official prediction is a water coaster and new ME trains (SFNE style restraints)/paint/retheme.

I liked the Halloween event better than Christmas. More immersive IMO especially at the front gate with the photo ops. Christmas just seemed kind of bland. Your mileage may vary of course.

Dont get me wrong, this looks like itll be a great ride, id ride it, itll be fun and id love to have it at my home park. The only part I was agreeing with was that a lot of B&M's seem to be very similar. That said, their cookie cutter is amazing compared to Vekoma's or Arrow's terrible cookie cutter. Wegman's (B&M) vs. Walmart (Vekoma) if you will.

No, I'm acting like this is the exact same ride I can go on in many different parks throughout the US or North America, or the World: hell, even pretty much in the exact same park, which is why there's no incentive to visit once this ride opens. You know it, I know it, Robb Alvey knows it, people who consistently ride coasters know it. Hell, even my family and friends know this B&M cookie cutter crap just does not cut it or warrants additional visits to the park. Orion is a Mako, Diamondback, Fury, Leviathon, Behemoth, blah blah blah all the same. Trim brakes on airtime hills, blah blah blah all the same. This is the same crap B&M has been doing for about 20 years now. Enough is enough. Parks dropping $20+ Million on coasters need to do better than this, because it's a joke, and I don't know why that is a problem for some of you "enthusiasts" to hope for instead of applauding the next turd they crap out. And I don't know why wanting parks to create better rides than this is frowned upon. Yeah I'm critical of ride additions at times, I think Kings Island could have created a much better ride experience than this for the money, and I think they should have instead of just bending over to the constituency! I don't see why there's anything wrong with having that opinion. Im with you on this, I havent ridden a ton of B&M's, but watching some POV's they all seem pretty much the same with a few exceptions.

For onsite guests, not sure about members

Im going to go out on a limb and say water coaster with something else small, maybe some re-theming or something.

dnn would be the one with the answer to that.

No, CP uses their version of Grizzly Run as a corn maze. The trough where the rafts and water usually are is drained and lined with corn stalks. Fright Fest isnt a kids oriented event anyways so who cares if its normally a family area. Grizz is in that section that as fully blocked off last year during Fright Fest. Rowdy’s ridge and Mind Eraser were all closed, so unless they were to find a way of having enough workers to keep that area open, not sure if they’d want to do that. Simple to block off between Sleighride and Campfire Grill. Especially if they use the normal Viper exit vs. the Galaxy Theater exit.

I havent seen it firsthand, but my understanding is they line the trough with cornstalks to make it a pseudo maze.

I wonder if theyre doing one like Cornstalkers at CP using Grizzly Run

If they did, I wonder if itd fit in Ranger's spot. Or if theyd do a couple of shifts and move Haymaker/Silver Bullet and put it there.

If youd read the posts in this thread instead of blathering on about nonsense, you wouldve seen that it was done purposefully on a budget, and had overruns as it is. They got what they could with the money they were allotted.

Arent you the guy that did the math on how much it would cost to paint ROS by going to Sherwin Williams?

During the week you shouldnt have a problem with lines. Food... leave the park and drive to John & Mary's on Broadway. Get a chicken finger sub.

I agree. It's so much more fun to keep going back over and over to a thread that makes me question the viability of humanity. Its really just a vocal minority. Although I saw much of the same complaints in the SFA thread.

Premier took over for Herschend after the 2014 season. They added Rolling Thunder, Brain Drain, RipCurl and Tantrum. 2007-2010: CNL/PARC 2011-2014: CNL/Herschend 2015-2017: CNL/Premier 2017-2018: EPR/Premier

Herschend operated it for CNL....

CNL invested in all the new waterpark stuff, Rowdy's Ridge, Blast Off, Rolling Thunder, Motocoaster, ROS's new train and painted/refurbed Giant Wheel, the carousel, Boomerang and Viper.

Well if they’re still all operable, why doesn’t SF get them running. I mean they even have forked over the money at TGE for 2 train ops. This really isn’t rocket science here. Theyre havent been 2 train ops for 4 years, you should be used to it by now.

There were two built for Darien Lake. One was more custom that headlined on the show. The other was similar in design, but built more around one of their standard semi-custom choppers as something that could be driven. The second was the one that was to be raffled off. Except the winner turned out to be Canadian and the motorcycle wasn't legal by their regs. So the raffle bike sported a For Sale sign for about two years. Oh I thought you were talking about the coaster train bikes.

Its been said that theyre all (ME, Viper, Predator) still operable
