^ That's a hard dose of honesty. Thank you.

 

It's been cool to see Valravn's construction this winter, and I think a lot of us are thinking, "Now what?" Great for the park to start us talking about the queue. Growing up with SDC, I've grown used to interactive queues, and they come in all sorts. Thunderation has signs throughout its queue with mining lingo, Wildfire and Powder Keg have set pieces that tell the story, and Outlaw Run uses music to theme its queue. Really, any of these methods can enhance the waiting experience and really get people into the mood of the ride. Queues are often an afterthought, so basically any thought given to the queueing experience has a positive effect.

Bacon > Strippers

 

I've seen where too many strippers come from, being that their homes are always piles of filth and dirty burnt spoons next to hypodermic needles are always nearby. The magic has been forever ruined for me.

 

On a side note... Valravn looks decent.

 

You and I have been hanging out with an entirely different group of strippers. Not to say that your scenario doesn't exist, but very few of my stripper friends/ women I dated, had much more than a taste for pot. And all of them drove really nice cars, had great apartments, and were very generous. In fact, I have very fond mamories of my college and post college Summers bartending in Vegas at Cantina Charlies on tha graveyard shift. Where the 4am crowd consisted mostly of after shift strippers. I heard the odd horror story, but they were few and far between.

 

With that said, bacon< strippers, but

 

On a side note, Valravn looks to me as potentially the best dive coaster out there. I can't wait to get on it this year.

Thought I'd stop by the webcam to see if the boat had returned. . . No such luck. I wonder if boat will ever come back.

Looks like a lot of STR is gone. Idk if i want to say RIP to this since i never got to ride it.

[cedarpointguru]

Anyone notice the crane by Mean Streak? Maintenance or fire wood?

[WOFanatic]

I think that they are going to sacrifice a live goat every hour in honer of the valravin. You will be able to witness this while waiting in line.

But it will be a very slow, ten+ year process in order to entertain generations to come.

It's probably just because I live in the St. Louis area, which is pretty much a sh*t hole. I'm jealous that you have the option of choosing clean strippers.

We could only hope no firewood, otherwise RMC will have to build from scratch later on. More than likely trains are being loaded back into transfer.

What ever they are doing with the queue line that will really that interesting. I think they might be doing something with the queue line to make it more efficient but I can not imagine they are going to add theming.

At a time of great loss such as this, I always find it appropriate to post comforting messages like "Rest in Peace" or "Bye Felicia".

Maybe they are using the wood from Mean Streak and building new boat docks

You've clearly never been to San Bernardino....

There has been an awakening.... Have you felt it? Oh wait. It's just a chain. XD

[RaceBoarder]

Tony just needed a new chain for his bike... Old one was stretched out and causing shifting issues

[DoinItForTheFame]

I really wish I knew "how" installing the chain on a lift hill happened.

 

How do they get the chain from the base of the lift hill, all the way to the top, over and under, and back down??

Looking great! It's amazing how tall the MCBR is

I believe that they use a rope, and they feed it up. I remember they had something on it for Fury. Ill see if i can find it.
