FKA 'Playa Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Holding my nose through the CF quarterly conference call. The execs are really gulping their own Kool-Aid right now. They've taken to citing the highest per-caps (since Six Flags has been touting their higher margins) and insisting that CP is the rolly coaster capital of the world blah blah blah. Anyway, the new buzzword is 'brand (fill in the blank).' That having been said, Valleyfair and CGA are both currently under 'Brand Review.' They've finished brand review for CP and CW and they're doing whatever brand buzzword comes next. They've figured KBF's brand is well-established Long story short--they've made CGA's expansion plans public. There's obviously similar plans for Valleyfair--just no reason to make them public yet. No other CF parks were mentioned in this fashion. There ya go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariznglori Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 ^Would love a detailed summary of the call to be posted. Por favor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKA 'Playa Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Not that this call's terribly interesting as far as VF's concerned, but Seeking Alpha releases transcripts of all of 'em a day after they happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meghna Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Indeed you did. It is the ONLY Space Shot in the chain that has ejector air time at the top. The others just sort of make you float some at the top. Hmm... The reason I like our space shot is because of the floating at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) I've never been a fan of Power Tower, the airtime on the Turbo Drop towers is almost non-existent, and the Space Shot is only marginally better. As sad as it is, I find Corkscrew and Mad Mouse more thrilling than Power Tower. Anyone else going to the passholder preview on Sunday?

Meghna Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I used to be so scared of PowTow, I only rode it for the first time two years ago for a morning test. It's probably the height that makes it more scary, but once you get over it, yeah, I am infinitely enthused by Mad Mouse than I am of PowTow. Ugh, I hate the top portion of Mad Mouse. Maybe it'll grow on me with all the test rides I'll have to do this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKA 'Playa Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 While I'll admit preferring Intamin 2nd gen and Gyro towers? Farting Tower (northernmost of the two Turbo Drops) is a damned good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Rod Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I will be there on Sunday for preview day and opening day also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWingRider Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I tried an Intamin drop tower, the one at SFGAm and I preferred the S&S models. Probably because it was short at 227 feet and I guess I prefer the space shots because of the air at the top anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOFanatic Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 These might be the best looking flyers in the chain. I don't know what it is, but I'm just in love with how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Wild Thing looks underwhelming in the shadow of Flying Eagles But you can't snap on these Eagles. Is that a rule, or is this just because they're Larson Flyers?
