Meghna Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Yeah, there have definitely been some close times at Corkscrew, from what my sister has told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifthArchitect Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Just glanced at the webcam and happy to see a crane onsite and construction going vertical on North Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionCoasters Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 North Star vertical construction has started! WOW that is way more massive of a tower than I was imagining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCI Wooden Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 VF posted that there's some new North Star parts at the park (There's also a logo that I haven't seen until now). Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboor129 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I've been a season pass holder for 10 years and this weekend will be my first time going to haunt (hard to believe, I know). The FAQ on the website doesn't explain that much, but what time does the park officially switch from the "great pumpkin fest" to haunt? Do you need the skeleton key for all skeleton key attractions or is that just the fast lane for the haunt attractions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do need to buy Skeleton Key to go in the Skeleton Key rooms. Skeleton Key/Fright Lane are bundled together, so you get to skip the lines for all the mazes once, too. Have fun, Haunt is amazing (Don't miss Hacks, they're pretty funny). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need the skeleton key for all skeleton key attractions or is that just the fast lane for the haunt attractions? Great Pumpkin fest ends at 6 (when the kid's rides close) and the monsters come out around 6:40ish, with mazes opening around 7 or when the monsters get back from the opening ceremony. If you are in the front of the park around 6:50, I recommend checking the opening ceremony out! Based on past experiences, this weekend is going to be very busy, so if you are considering skeleton key or fast/fright lane, I'd say go for it!

garyman6 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Definitely check out Hacks! Very funny but it is a PG13 event! You will love Haunt. The whole park takes on a completely different atmosphere. Hope for the winds to die down because still nights are the best, it causes the fog to be very heavy. Renegade is amazing right now! Look for Renegade Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 So glad they're getting a star flyer, these type of attractions add so much to a park's skyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Rod Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 It is the last weekend of the season . I'm looking forward to 2017 Northstar opening next season. Are we going to see any more rides leaving in 2018 for new ones? Was Northstar in this year's budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually heard a rumor from another employee that Looping Starship might not be back next season due to maintenance issues, but that is just a rumor so don't quote me on that. Regardless, if Looping Starship was removed, I don't think many tears would be shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely that they'll just pull a ride like that after the season is over; I'd imagine they'd have a pretty big PR issue on their hands if they just pulled a ride without warrant.

coasterbill Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 There a few other rides like Looping Starship in the chain and I've never heard anything about maintenance issues (Berserker at KD and Southern Star at Carowinds come to mind). They seem to be incredibly low tech rides... I would think that if they removed Looping Starship it would probably be to free up space for more Soak City expansion.

CaptainUnknown Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The Looping Starship being removed to make room for a Soak City expansion has been around for nearly as long as the "removal of Excalibur for something else" rumor. I also heard that Supercat would be removed this off-season along with Enterprise to enter into refurbishments. That didn't pan out, so until the park makes an announcement, I'll put the stone and chisel down for now. But yes, I eventually see LS being removed for a Soak City expansion. Hopefully that's after we get our next coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have removed some rides without an announcement in the past (Hydroblaster, Antique Autos 1.0, etc.), but yeah, I'm not 100% sure about that rumor. Anyway, looks like the construction cam has been moved to Wild Thing's MCBR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionCoasters Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Do any of you guys have a clue if All Season Fast Lane is returning next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meghna Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Do any of you guys have a clue if All Season Fast Lane is returning next season? I'd love to see it come back, but I'm betting they're gonna raise the price. $70 seems like too much of a steal for an entire season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mdcastle Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Stuff that left with a big announcement and going away celebration: Enterprise Stuff they just demolished in the off-season: Chaos Antique Autos Imax HydroBlaster Haunt struck me as kind of an off year as far as decoration and staffing. I did go through Chateau because I had been through in the lights on tour and knew the general layout and where the monsters might hide, and Beserkers where everyone went through as a group.

Yeah, i'm guessing a price in the 150 range, since the $70 was from August-October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
