prozach626 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I have no idea why in my head I pictured the trees already grown around it like the old Zambezi Zinger. I guess that didn't happen overnight..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could possibly matter less in the world? Unless you're part of the construction crew or park executive management who typically take the first ever train with people, you're not in the first group of people to ride a ride.

prozach626 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 It's not relevant to how important it is. It matters if they paid money under the pretense that they would have the opportunity to ride before the general public. I can see a reasonable person not being happy about that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarFlags Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I still think it was total BS that the park waited until the day before passholder preview to announce the delay. If the ride needed 3 more weeks to be ready, I'm sure that management was aware of that fact WELL ahead of time and could have given everyone a reasonable amount of notice to modify their plans. And add on top of that the whole raffle winners vs soft-open nonsense. Really a huge L for their PR team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker4552 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Those new Infinity Flyer trains looks very nice. The T-bar looks quite open and free, and no leg restraints or seat belts either. I'm a little surprised they are a Class V restraint that can do inversions. My friend and I will be visiting the park for the first time at the end of July. Can't wait!

WOF_Fan Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Great day at Worlds of Fun yesterday. The park is looking fantastic! Zambezi Zinger is a great addition! Mamba is running better than ever, nearly trimless, so the back half is a ton of airtime. Timber Wolf is re-rideable again. Mamba and Prowler crews were great. Excited for 50 Nights of Fire!

grsupercity Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 The new trains on Zinger are nice. Also great seeing a cedar fair park have a new train without seat belts. The T bar did seem to tighten throughout the ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I miss the days where there would have already been 10 picture posts and a lot of comments about the ride the day after it opened. We're a dying breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bulk of the commenters on even TPR's posts are complete morons and people just tagging their friends because they're too dense to realize that there is a "share" button. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I also prefer this format dramatically to Discord and Reddit, but I don't control what people like. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 The content here is moderated and you actually have to read to get information. There's no clickbait of spoon fed, often false, that caters to the modern day low attention span. Getting rid of social media on my phone and turning real paper pages of novels has helped my attention span. It's also amazing how much time I have saved, leading to productivity. I also realized two things about sharing snaps of vacation, possessions, etc. First, most people don't care. Secondly, it can often be an unintentional, or intentional, form of boasting. "Look at me, I'm at a beach house." "Look at me, I got a new car." "Look at me, I'm riding all of these cool roller coasters." I do often miss SnapChat, but I know I'm better off without it. Luckily, I refused to ever get Tiktok, because of it's addictive qualities. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
