Beautiful but doesn't look like traditional Intamin track does it?

^Maybe I'm influenced too much by Intimidator since it's in my home park and I ride it the most but it just seems so slow to me compared to the others. That long train just seems to labor around the track. I will say I've also ridden Behemoth and I don't get that feeling as much so maybe it is just Intimidator.

^I agree. I know every park these days has one but from the park's perspective it's the perfect coaster...reliable, people eater and the GP will love it. I also agree that B&M might be able to do something creative with the terrain there and hopefully a little more out of the box, although it is B&M so I'm not getting my hopes up. If it is a B&M I hope they stay with the traditional 4 across seating instead of the staggered rows. It seems the trend has been to move away from the staggered seating lately with Mako and Candymonium both getting the traditional trains. To me the coasters that have this arrangement are better.

Ended up making it up to KD Friday and Saturday for our first visit to the park. I305...wow, just wow. I had it in my head that the whole "grey out" thing was kind of an urban legend but the first time around that helix I could barely see by the time we topped the first camelback! My 10 year loved it and said it happened to him as well. Overall this coaster was firmly in my top 10 but it's not a truly fun ride or re-rideable might be a better way to put it. It was without a doubt the most intense coaster I've ever been on (haven't ridden Skyrush yet). I absolutely loved Twisted Timbers. What a fun ride! The back is the place to be on this one. Got several rides throughout the two days and couldn't get enough. The airtime is great and the laterals and inversions are just icing on the cake. Only downside was the loading times. They were horrible. I felt bad for the ride ops because they were doing everything they could but between all the safety precautions and the public not following directions and having to take up time to re-do their lap bar or put something away they aren't supposed to have on the ride the dispatches were taking 2 to 3 minutes per train. Ugh. Overall, I liked the park and the other coaster were solid. I liked Dominator's unique layout and Racer, Stuntcoaster and FOF were good as well. All in all a good trip!

I was thinking about taking an impromptu road trip with my son to KD this weekend and take advantage of having a Cedar Fair platinum pass. The problem is we would be at the park on Saturday. Any idea if the lines for the major coasters will be horrible or if I would have to buy a fastlane+?

Thinking about a last minute trip to KD this weekend before my kid starts school. We have a platinum pass from Carowinds this year since we visited CP earlier in the summer and thought why not try and take advantage of the free admission. The problem is we would only be able to be at the park on Saturday and of course I'm worried about the crowds. Would they be unbearable this late in the summer? What kind of wait times for the major coasters can I expect?
