blakelemay23 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Happy Friday! Here is a rare Skyride pic and 2 rare pictures that have both Von Rolls in them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I like the last photo the most. You get a sense of how that area of the park looked before four coasters moved it, and where they are today in respect to what's there. You can also see how the Frontier Trail was not yet added which is neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccentricGamerCL Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I like the last photo as well. It's especially crazy seeing just how small of an area Valravn currently takes up, at least when compared to its neighbors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 ^^^ I'm pretty sure that The Thirsty Pony is attached to the Rain water park and Quality Inn - and they are both pretty ghetto. The food at TP was decent and the beer was cold, but I do recall several empty tables that hadn't been cleaned off as as well as shoes sticking to the floor while walking to our table. Maybe we just hit it on a bad day. ^^ Great photos...thanks for sharing! I love retro photos of amusement parks, especially CP! Also, I thought Melt was confirmed to be coming to CP in 2017 about 1,000 boat jokes and 1,000 stupid ride names for Mean Streak ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Happy Friday! Here is a rare Skyride pic and 2 rare pictures that have both Von Rolls in them! Oh wow, now those are cool! I love vintage pictures of theme parks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Zo Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Also, I thought Melt was confirmed to be coming to CP in 2017 about 1,000 boat jokes and 1,000 stupid ride names for Mean Streak ago? As bluestreak noted, it was never officially confirmed, though this tweet by Melt hints pretty strongly at it. Interestingly, King's Island opened a Tom+Chee location late in the 2016 season, which is a sort-of competitor to Melt (though Melt is full-service and Tom+Chee is fast-casual). Melt is based in Cleveland and Tom+Chee is based in Cincinnati, so it makes some sense to let each one serve their nearest local park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 ^ Thanks Andy...it will be an interesting add if they do. Wonder where they would put it? Maybe in the now empty restaurant at Sandcastle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true and i have heard a rumor around closing time last year that Tom =Chee was coming to KI in 2017 and will be part of the meal plan, So i assume maybe Cedar Point would do the same thing with Melt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincinnati, interestingly enough, also has its own Melt, but it's completely unrelated to the Cleveland Melt, and there's only one of them, in Northside. I'm just happy Dayton's getting a Cleveland Melt in the very near future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I just found Melt's website... Yeah sure, I'll have the veggie instead.....phhhhht! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 ^ Bill - I actually DID try to get something "halfway healthy" the last time we went to Melt. I got the 1/2 Mushroom Melt with spinach, onions and provolone. Of course, then you throw in a pile of fries with all that bread and cheese...and it's not quite as healthy anymore!

ElectricUncleSam Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I actually never had Panda Express before. Im guessing Panda Express is to Chinese as Taco Bell is to Mexican? Exactly. People (as in people in general, not just TPR people) will says Panda Express isn't truly Chinese food because it's, and I quote from countless relatives, "it's cooked and served by Americans". Honestly, to me, good Chinese is good Chinese, no matter who cooks it. And if it's not good, hot sauce makes anything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, to me, good Chinese is good Chinese, no matter who cooks it. And if it's not good, hot sauce makes anything better. Even most Chinese food in America cooked and served by Chinese isn't Chinese food. They sweeten everything to satisfy american wants. Our version of Chinese food is nothing like whats really in China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I appreciate the culture lessons but I think we all understand that a Chinese food chain that's popular in mid to low level American theme parks and shopping mall food courts isn't going to be confused with something you'd find at a high end restaurants in Beijing.
