Kw6sTheatee Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I feel pity for the Minnesotan coaster enthusiasts... even the super landlocked Nickelodeon Universe has a higher chance of getting a new coaster than Valleyfair. If a Zierer Tivoli does have to be replaced, whatever goes in its relative spot has to be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually ok with it because we get to ride a top 50 coaster in the world(In my opinion) With basically no line the entire season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleyfairfanatic Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Valleyfair pretty much confirmed that they aren't getting any major additions any time soon. This comment was on a recent facebook livestream: Â I think VF is headed in the right direction. Is it the direction enthusiasts want? No. But what do we know about running amusement parks? The reason I say this is because we are not the target audience. Families, who spend money on food, games, etc are more valuable to the park profit wise than your typical season passholder who goes 50+ times a year. While im sure everyone would want a new coaster, we have already had immense expansions in the previous years in a considerably short time. That's better than nothing.

coasterbill Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) I feel pity for the Minnesotan coaster enthusiasts  They'll get over it. Despite living in a frozen tundra it's the only place in America outside of Florida or California where you can ride coasters and an epic log flume 365 days a year. That's a nice consolation prize for having new coaster additions that are few and far between. Mall of America is awesome and Valleyfair is a very nice park that has actually received a decent amount of new additions lately (albeit mostly flat rides and one epic and utterly unique seven story loop roller coaster).

VF15 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 ^ Nick Universe’s operations aren’t that bad, I’ve seen them dispatch rides fairly quickly when they are fully staffed.  As for the direction the park seems to be moving in, it seems to be the best business choice and I’m fine with it. Despite what a few dozen coaster enthusiasts think about Valleyfair, most of the general public seems to like the park just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy232221 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 whenever I go it takes 5 min do dispatch Avatar and it takes 2 people 2 min to dispatch rock bottom i must go on bad days then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Bot Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Valleyfair recently announced a new Peanuts Celebration event which reflects what was said in the recent Cedar Fair conference call about the company focusing on new events instead of rides. In the event's announcement, the park said there would be shows at the superior stage, Loon Landing stage, and Peanuts Pavilion. I've never heard of any of these places before, and it doesn't look like there are any new permits indicating that Valleyfair is building new stages. Has anyone heard of these places before?

VF15 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I drove by the park this morning and did not see any flooding from the road, though there is still a decent amount of snow on the ground so there could be flooding in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The park just posted a pic on Twitter of some digging going on in the field between The Wave and Corkscrew, I wonder what it’s for. Photo from @ValleyfairMN on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCjunkie Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 ^ The latest construction permit issued for Valleyfair is a 'Plumbing/Icee-Coke' valued at $11,000. With another one out there for a $75,000 'Icee-Coke/Building' the digging may be for that plumbing. Possibly followed by a new refill station there. Hopefully it is for something more fun than that but that would me my guess for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Glad they haven't completely forgotten about that part of the park. An ICEE/refill stand would be nice there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyman6 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Could have something to do with the new Peanuts Celebration in June! Those lines look like some kind of heated water tube to thaw out the ground for digging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF15 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Looks like High Roller is getting some more retracking this year, this time in the bunny hills after the first turnaround. Photo from VF's Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Bro Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 The map also shows that there is a new dining location in Soak City called "On a Stick!", and they have changed the Side Winder Burrito by the Xtreme Swing, into El Taco Mercado.

Mdcastle Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 and they have changed the Side Winder Burrito by the Xtreme Swing, into El Taco Mercado. Â Easy way to charge $2 more for the exact same burrito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCjunkie Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Just checked for any new building permits issued for VF and there are four new ones. One for ICEE on a Stick , $5,000 for plumbing. Another two for new commercial buildings, one for $9,500 and one for $30,000 with no details in the permit to tell us what or where. And also one with no dollar value attached to it (or description of which one) but has the title of BATHROOM REMODEL (couldn't ALL CF parks use this? ). These along with re-tracking High Roller (and hopefully a new paint job) means they are at least still improving things in an 'off year'. Still on the lookout/hoping to see a road construction permit for the back of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
