Not sure of the credibility of Screamscape, but they posted 2 plausible rumors and one that seems to be a stretch. 1) Predator retracking. Low hanging fruit, as thats a yearly thing. Claimed it had a small fire though. 2) Mind Eraser SBNO this year, unless they can duct tape and glue the Frankentrain back together. New train(s) were supposedly cut from the budget. Now for the stretch... Ride of Steel to be removed after this season. No plausible explanation was given for why that would happen.

Looking at photos of them, she's had no issues with Cheetah Hunt style restraints (Maverick, Storm Runner). She's ridden Valravn and Apollo's Chariot, so I would think Sheikra and Kumba would be fine, Montu I think would be the only one she'll struggle with as she didnt fit comfortably on Raptor or Alpengeist.

How is BGT in regards to plus size people? Might make a stop there in Feb and the wife is concerned about making the walk of shame. For reference, she failed the test seat on Raptor and Millennium Force, but has ridden every other ride at CP except TTD (always closed). She's also fit on other Intamin's with no issue (ROS, Hagrids, Velocicoaster).

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Its not a LIM launch, but theres this about Hulk: "In the end a drive tire system was selected, where 230 electrical motors power a set of tires that pinch the train's underside to provide propulsion.[2][14] As this system required eight megawatts of power to propel each train, the park built several customized motor generator sets with large flywheels to reduce the risk of browning-out the local energy grid with every launch." -
The thing with the popcorn bucket is its not even a limited edition thing. Its the "must be first" attitude that @robbalvey despises. I'm sure by Wednesday itll be available without a wait. Another WDW blog I follow (that did not wait in line for it) said the same thing happened with Orange Bird sippers a few years ago.

They ended it because they needed the bandwith to use it for Cosmic Rewind. -
Favorite non-rides
Haymaker replied to CedarFlags's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Is it though? More like a tour of Tomorrowland. I wouldnt call Carousel of Progress a ride but it moves too. Good call on Harmonious. KI's Haunt was a fantastic atmosphere. MNSSHP parade was great too, especially theGrave Diggers and the band. -

Not sure if it counts as a non-ride, but WDW's PeopleMover is on of my favorites. -
Where Are You Going in 2022?
Haymaker replied to ytterbiumanalyst's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Busch Gardens Tampa is a possibility in February Kalahari Sandusky end of April Darien Lake (home park) Cedar Point is always a possibility, if TTD stays closed we'd probably skip it this year. Annual WDW in December. -
I would put up the waterslide and do the Hurricane Harbor theme thats two years overdue before I start anything else. Then we have 3 large plots of land, two of which need dismantling. Then an unpopular SLC with a Frankentrain and 25 yr old paint job, and one train on our flagship ride, and a rough woodie, and....
