drummermattk Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Maybe I have the wrong definition of a capacity monster. I thought it was s ride that's really good with capacity. Like banshee's 30 second trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestreak Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Maverick and wild mice don't exactly have great capacity. Banshee, Diamondback, Millennium Force.... those are rides with great capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It is, but a Wild Mouse and Maverick are about the farthest from capacity monsters as it gets. Unless of course you were to put VR on them... Then they would be even less of "capacity monsters." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 ^Wild Mice are terrible with capacity, but Maverick's capacity is actually fairly descent. I always remember the lines moving at a fairly descent speed. Considering that there is less than a minute of track between the first two blocks, a minute between three car trains is still better than most major corporate parks can do.

drummermattk Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Hoping this isnt true (never been to a media day event if i was able to go) but rumor going around on KIC is that coaster groups (TPR, ACE, you get the point.....) wont be able to come to Timbers media day............... I really hope this isnt true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shavethewhales Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 ^I can't see Cedar Fair ever inviting coaster clubs to media days ever again. Is there a story I missed? I've been wondering for awhile now if the "golden age" of coaster groups will slip away... Some parks still bend over backwards to cater to enthusiasts during events, but how much do they get back from that? Some of us leave them good reviews and give them some minor publicity, but I know its a hassle, and there's always something or someone that makes the group look bad somehow.

Nothing specific, just there were way more coaster nerds than actual media. It couldn't have been cheap to feed us all breakfast and lunch. Plus the "entitled" attitude of many enthusiasts I'm sure didn't sit too well. I'd expect a casting call to fill seats for future media days, and that's about it.

hagwar Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hey y'all, happy new years! Quick question please, I'm in very early stages of planning a Spring Break trip for the family up to KI and possibly Kentucky Kingdom and after looking on the KI website the 2017 dates/hours isn't posted yet? Can anyone tell me if historically KI has been open the week of April 10-14 or on either side of the weekend. Thanks so much, will be our first time there, really looking forward to it.

bluestreak Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I think they usually open the weekend after. If I had to guess I'd say they are going to open the 22nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Password121 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I believe opening day is the weekend of the 14th/15th this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummermattk Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I believe opening day is the weekend of the 14th/15th this year. Opening day is on the 15th which means the pass preview night should be on the 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonskinny12 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Am I the only one who thinks this is absolutely beautiful? You're definitely not the only one. I love snowy roller coaster scenes and I love curving GCI drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love snowy roller coaster scenes and I love curving GCI drops. Not gonna lie, I was kind of surprised to see Invadr have a straight drop. Seems out of GCI's norm...

drummermattk Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 "It's Beautiful Clark" Seriously cannot wait for opening day! But for some lucky people, cant wait for probably Late March/early April to ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestreak Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Honestly it won't be too long before testing... maybe like 2 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
