So Google Earth has finally started updating the maps, and Mean Stre.... I mean Steel Vengeance, looks so nice.

Google Maps

^ I find shots like that more interesting than I probably should...

^ doing the 3D buildings is pretty cool at amusement parks. I spend way to much of my time on google maps and good earth.

Most relate-able post of the day.

There have been times when 3 or 4 hours have past its felt like 2.

^ Fortunately, the Technology Genie grants that wish. The 21st century is awesome.

The last lap on this thing will be crazy. Immersed within the structure for almost the entire time AT RMC-LEVEL PACING

 

Head-choppers f**king galore.

[coasterbill]

That looks amazing.

[RollerManic]

I love the pacing. That transition out of the roll looks like it'll have some weirdly-awesome, drawn-out laterals, like Mako's S-bend above the midway. And the hangtime looks great through that roll.

All 3 testing clips pieced together and oh my goodness! The last clip looks stunning!

This is music to my ears. Headchoppers have always been one of my most beloved coaster characteristics, and I've really enjoyed them on some of the RMC inversions.

[Invertalon]

No doubt that this ride will be phenomenal! I do find it interesting the slight right turn at the bottom of the first drop to the right. Wonder if that was required given the structure alignment of Mean Streak or was just an added feature for some laterals.

 

Night rides on this thing should be madness, especially in that structure. Wonder how it will be lit (or not).

Definitely the lat-ter.

 

Okay, I'll see myself out.

[CoasterAuditor]

I've paid virtually minimal attention to this ride this off season solely because of Twisted Timbers being 40 minutes from my apartment. It looks absolutely phenomenal. Pretty sure if I was at Cedar Point I would be spending a fair bit of time in the back between this and Maverick.

Hi I was wondering if someone can help me with a park question.

 

I am heading there the third week in August from the 19th to the 23rd. I noticed that the hours change that week to closing earlier. I could go the week before if I have to where the hours are longer. My question is does this mean that there will be less attendants and some rides may not be open like full swing summer? I wasn't sure when their summer help leave.

 

Thanks for your help!

[coasterbill]

They'll be understaffed but it won't be all that noticeable and the rides should all be open. The only thing that might happen that anyone would care about is that Gemeni may not race. On the upside, the park will be a bit less crowded.

Thanks so much! I can live with that.

The end of August is when a lot of Ohio Schools start back up and College i think start up too. This will help with attendance at the parks

^ I'm glad Bert and I got to do BBQ & Brew and CoasterMANIA! in the same weekend, last year.

Too bad they decided to move B&B up a week, for it's start. But I guess it's a matter of crowd control,

especially with CM! including SV this time, etc.

I was just about to post this. It looks like a great deal for passholders. $22 for 15 ticket samples sounds awesome (much better than 10 for $36 at SWO and 15 for $55 at BGT for passholders with their similar events). It will be my first time and until I saw this pricing I wasn't even considering it. Depending on the portions, I could likely eat off that my 3 days there...lol Of course that won't happen since there are a couple other places in the park I'd like to try as well. There also are some items my partner can possiby try since he's a pescetarian/vegetarian. He eats dairy and fish and there is a shrimp dish, nacho dish & desserts he might be able to try listed on there. Neither one of us are into beer, but looks to be some selections we may be able to stomach.

I'll need to go through y'alls trip report again to see some of the food pics. Were there liquor samples available? We aren't beer drinkers, but liquor is a yes...lol
