RollerManic Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 This, if you dont know, is Marcus Leshock. He's a local Chicago Reporter and a known coaster enthusiast. They send him down to all the media days in parks in the region and he’s been as far as Silver Dollar City, Kings Dominion, Dollywood, Cedar Point for Valravn, BGT etc. and always does a short for media day, even though he’s only a local reporter. I’m not even from Chicago and I follow him because I quite enjoy the coaster stuff he does and shares (and because he keeps everything pretty non-political, which is a nice relief. Nearly everything he puts out is positive.) Anyway, I can’t believe his reactions to Steel Vengenence. He’s always geeky and makes the newcasters laugh but I’ve never seen facial expressions quite like this from him before. Just look at his EYES!!! They look so messed up! And look at the way how EVERYONE gets THROWN around in the last series of bunny hops into the brake run. That just looks brutal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterAuditor Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 It's going to be really difficult to go to Cedar Point and not spend 8 hours at the back of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 So I gotta ask, what's the fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo rule for this ride. I'm guessing no in-station cubbies so you need to rent one before getting in line? Small items like keys, phones and wallets can go in a secured Velcro, buttoned or zippered pocket. Waist packs and basically everything larger must go in a locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I'm almost scared to see a back row POV of this thing if that's what the front seat looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geek Mojo Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I got my trip planned for Memorial Day Weekend. Staying at Hotel Breakers so I can be as close to Steel Vengeance as possible. I can't wait to ride it! Loving all the media day coverage on twitter...It's got me all excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midgetman82 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Thanks for the response. Secondly, if I'm forced to go any Saturday of the summeer, which would reasonably have the least amount of crowds of any Saturday... or basically, which parts of what months should I look at the most?

Ed Farmer Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Still haven't watched any POV or animation of this ride, but the early reactions have me more psyched for Coastermania than I already had been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamedturtle Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I love how Cedar Point gets rid of one stand up coaster, and replaces it with another Nice. Anyway, looks like a neat little ride, can't wait to get on it. Actually, I'm going to start counting down the days: T-Minus 27 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwee Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 DUDE!!! That ride looks fantastic. CoasterMania can't get here soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCjunkie Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 So sexy with all that airtime and 'twistyness' on the second half. Now even more excited to give it a ride this in June. Praying to the coaster gods for good weather during those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 And here ya go... Footage Courtesy of Cedar Point among the BEST Birthday Prezzies I got today. I'm like a prisoner in an old black and white film. . got my calendar on the wall, and XXX-ing out the days, until I get to ride this. End of July, hurry up!!!

Wow, it's just...massive. And so fast! I still can't figure out what exactly happens on the second half of the ride. Can't wait to visit Cedar Point!!!

coasterbill Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I'm loving your updates on the socials this morning! Thanks for getting up at the a**crack of dawn to cover it for us. [twitter] [/twitter]My favorite part of this photo is that the Floridian is rocking a T shirt on a crappy Sandusky morning in April on Lake Erie and the guys who work in northern Idaho are wearing heavy jackets.

Xcelerator4 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Wow this looks absolutely crazy. They now have the trifecta of “insane” coasters with this, Maverick, and Top Thrill Dragster all so close. I’m trying to head out to the park mid September so I can get a ride on this thing. One question for Robb or anyone there: What’s the Fast Lane situation? Is it like Millenium where there’s a merge point a bit back in the line or does it lead you right up to the station? Either way, I hope to get some serious rerides on a Sunday during halloweekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 WOW. That video And the video of the newscaster riding it I'm so hyped right now. Robb's coverage just made me even more excited! If he says it's the best RMC... man, anything better than Lightning Rod is going to be great! Friday can't come soon enough! Hoping the rain lets up for us.
