boldikus Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 So this one dude on Facebook claims that the #KD2018 announcement date will be August 17. If its on the internet, it must be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstrumSpark Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Damn I screwed up. I remember someone telling me that usually they're on Fridays. With that being said I'm highly skeptical of the 8/17 date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 There's a 100% chance it's announced either sometime between 8AM and 5PM, inclusive, on a day between Monday and Friday, inclusive, or else at some other time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that narrows it down It's also safe to say it will happen in the second half of the year but before the final quarter, or otherwise some other time.

Vonni Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Or it could be announced a few weeks before its opening. Tempesto, anyone? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 There is nothing confirming that date, but there is also nothing refuting it. Announcements normally happen right around that time, so it's plausible. This is something that I see all the time now to justify the plausibility of stupid bullsh*t and it drives me nuts. If some random guy comes up with some "inside information" straight out of their a** then the burden of proof is on them. We don't need anything refuting it. I honestly can't believe this screenshot of a social media comment from someone nobody had ever heard of gained this much traction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9Armgeddon4 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'll be going to the park Wednesday and I was wondering what I should expect of crowds. Will fastlane be required? I'm looking forward to riding I305 again. I'll also be going to BGW the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, it will generally die down once they leave around 5-6:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't believe this screenshot of a social media comment from someone nobody had ever heard of gained this much traction. I totally get where you're coming from. I guess my philosophy was just "who cares." We have seen announcements around that time, so why spend so much time supporting or denying this claim when we know they're gonna announce it around August anyway? Whether it's the 15, 16, 17, 20, who really cares this far in a advance? The coaster is still coming in 2018. I'm surprised too it gained so much traction! I wasn't trying to come across as justifying that claim. My initial reaction was just "that date sorta makes sense based on Cedar Fair's history, but it's also pulled from someone's a**, so what's the point of arguing either side?" Guess I could've been more clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee1999 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hey guys I have a question, can you renew gold season passes from 2015? I tried renewing 2 of them online but they keep coming up as invalid.. Glitch in the system or do I have to purchase new season passes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the announcement will take place on Earth? It might also be on another celestial body or in space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glitch in the system or do I have to purchase new season passes? I don't believe you can renew a pass from that far back. You may need to contact KD Guest Services (804) 876-5000 to find out for sure, especially since it will not allow you to do so online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP Maverick Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I know that anytime I missed a renewal year, the pass became invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9Armgeddon4 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I just finished spending an amazing day at the park. We rode every coaster multiple times in the front and back row only. Lines were very short. Rebel Yell only had one side opened so we skipped it. I'm not fan of riding racing coasters if only one side is running. Both Grizzly and I305 only had one train running. Also rode Eiffel Tower (Best ride in the park 10/10) along with a few other flats. I did get some remarks from the employees because of the SFGAm Joker shirt I was wearing. Up next is BGW tomorrow. Here are the ride totals Anaconda: 2 rides front and back Avalanche: 2 rides front and back Backlot: 2 rides front and back Berserker: 1 ride Boo Blasters: 1 ride Delirium: 2 rides Dominator: 3 rides front row once back row twice (back to back rides). Drop Tower: 2 rides Eiffel Tower: 2 rides Flight of Fear: 2 rides front and back Grizzly: 2 rides front and back. I305: 4 rides twice in front and back. Experienced the gray on all the rides. Ricochet: 2 rides front and back Shenandoah: 2 rides Volcano: 3 rides twice in front row and once in second to last row. Back row for both trains were unavailable. First and last ride of the day. WindSeeker: 1 ride Woodstock Express: 2 rides front and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enthusiastically support these ride choices! Must have been practically empty to get so many rides in. Glad you had a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9Armgeddon4 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 ^ Yeah the park was pretty much empty. I don't think I've ever just ridden the front and back row ride of every coaster before even at my home park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grsupercity Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Im guessing an overbank after the first drop instead of the current low to the ground turn around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBpony414 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 ^ 1. Excellent drawing in paint. No really, I'm being serious - track predictions don't have to be done in a sophisticated computer program to be effective. 2. I'd be happy with something similar to what you drew for the first part of the ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry M Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I think a more forceful approach with a low to the ground turn would be better, but it depends if they are going for a less intense ride. An overbank would be nice and fun, but that is it. An inverting first drop (Like stormchaser) followed by a fast paced turn would be really thrilling and fun. Then pull up for a beautiful, fairly large airtime hill...perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overbank I drew was largely exaggerated, mostly because I was using the markup feature on my iPhone. I think an airtime pop followed by a small overbank like Wicked Cyclone would be ideal. I can also imagine a tunnel after the first drop to increase the speed a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
