Doppel Looping

Not to steal your thunder. Their communications have typically been poor and out of date. but Did I hear somewhere they just reported bad financial results and Zimmerman has resigned?

I got a ride on minebuster today. It is the first time this year that i have seen it running. it was good The new track starts just before the first drop. It takes a little dip before cresting the hill and gives a mini pop of airtime going over the top. (I was towards back of the train. ) The first drop and out section was nice and smooth. I was concerned about the back trip and helix but while not as smooth, they were at least passable. It was the nicest minebuster ride i have had in a long time.

I guess what i mean is that it seems strange to go to france to see a large american corporation’s take on french food. I would rather enjoy a great meal at a little local bistro.

if you want a nice meal, go to Provence. Then sit on your terasse and watch the sun set with a bottle of rosé.

Should be fun. wonderland will be busy from now until september. Fast pass probably a good idea. Friday traffic near wonderland will be bad. 1 day max in niagara falls is all you need then get the hell away from there. it is far away from everything else ~2.5 hr to wonderland in good traffic . Maybe 1.5 hr to western toronto In niagara there is the boat under the falls and standing around looking at them from shore. There is an old hydro generating station that was restored with interactive displays and tunnels you can take to the base of the falls. The drive along the niagara river is nice to niagara on the lake which is a nice historic town with some good restaurants and a much less trashy vibe than the falls themselves. They have the Shaw festival theatres with some good plays on you could see. My wifes favourite restaurant is treadwell in notl. Also good area for picnics. I would suggest you find a hotel on west side of toronto or north near wonderland If you get a day in toronto, take the ferryboat to the island it is really nice. As of last sunday i saw one train go around the track from the final brakes on behemoth. The station was being actively worked on with ladders and construction crews. They are working hard on it. be sure to ride Behemoth in row 8 for the floater air. Leviathan is great back row and even better at twilight. feel free to reach out for more ideas.

Good to know.

Think if all the fun you will have being among the first to watch them test it

I think wildebeast got some refurbushing over the winter. I rode it on passholder preview day and it was almost rideable. minebuster was not open that day but has supposedly had some new work on the out and back section. I hope they are making efforts to improve them both but we are not in the same universe as kings island. They made time warp, the old tomb raider coaster much smoother to the point it is completely flat with no track whatsoever. (Ie completely removed it). It looked strange to see the station building as all that remains with nothing in front. the track for alpenfury looked really good in person compared to the artists renditions on the internet. It looks like it will be a lot of fun. I did not see anywhere for transfer tracks but maybe they are hidden inside the mountain.

Mindbuster and wildebeast would like to have a word with you.

Do we need a new record for the park with the most record breaking coasters that it has retired?

Spring is probably the best time. The park gets really stupidly busy in the summer. Toronto weather is usually nice then. Summer can get hot and humid. Check the schedule for splashworks waterpark. It may be open weekends from the may 24 long weekend. They have a fish and chips place in the waterpark area that is pretty decent. You may be able to get a hotel deal in the shoulder season. Check out the harbourfront area. There is lots to do in toronto. Take the ferryboat to the island if you get the chance. You can rent a bike or rollerblades there. It also has a frisbee golf course. There are also walking and bike paths along the waterfront that are really nice. if you want a tour of the city get on a streetcar on either king or queen streets.you can see a lot and it is a nice way of getting around. Toronto is a city of many neighbourhoods and each has their own unique feel. you could do the while trip without a car if you wanted to. You can take a train downtown from the airport and take the subway to wonderland. There is a short bus ride from the last station. Feel free to reach out directly if you want more suggestions.

Hey i have a sweater from my aunt sadie that should have arrived. Can you check the tracking for me?

When fire and ice come together, usually the ice melts and puts the fire out. still, looking forward to this coaster.

For what it is worth, I am planning a trip to cedar point a few weeks from now. I am planning to stop by waldameer on my way over and get to CP sunday afternoon/ evening, spending all day monday there before heading to KI. I am hoping it won't be too busy, though may get a flash pass if i need to and almost hoping dragster doesn't reopen and draw crowds of people. There are so many coasters i love that it is worth it even if the big one trick pony (is it 2 or 3 tricks now) isn't up and running. The late summer breeze off the lake should be nice this time of year.

Sarcasm button broken again. It was thrown off by a thread titled first trip to cedar point no longer being about cedar point.

Also, florida in august = too hot and a lot of weird things going on there these days.

Don't rule out Michigans adventure!

And not even a hint of a carousel joke.

Can we get ai to cleanup the st louis thread?

So... I'm no fan of paying more for things than I have to, Or big monopolistic companies that can throw their weight around, often resulting in the higher prices. But considering both companies came out of some pandemic years with lots of debt only to be hit with rising interest rates and borrowing costs through the roof and staffing shortages.... I would like them to stay healthy and open for business. I would like for them to be able to invest in new rides and properly look after the ones they have. I am grateful to live within an easy drive of Behemoth and Leviathan. Not sure if season pass holders will be able to go to all parks on the same pass now but that would be a nice bonus on top of just having them continue to operate.

Does anyone know if you can get discounted tickets at local grocery stores or other locations? i am going to go with my wife a week monday june 3 on the way home from hershey. not sure if unlimited ride passes are worth it.

Glad to see this coaster running again. the colors are a bit garish but nice to see a fresh coat of paint on it.

Are they installing cupholders?

Where is the fluffy bunnies with medicine and goo filter when you need it?

Did they play pink floyd as you looked up at the dark side of the moon? it would have been cool if the t shirts were glow in the dark. Next time…
