I love this picture from RMC's Facebook!!

that a really great shot

[thrillseeker4552]

Such a sexy drop!

[TBpony414]

Admission and Fast Lane Plus for only $64.99?!

 

Don't mind if I do.

 

Thanks Bill for the heads up!

 

That's a crazy good deal! I wish they had some FLP deals for Platinum pass holders. Haven't seen anything myself although if I was planning to go on a weekend, even with my PP it'd be cheaper to do the Admission/FLP sale deal!

[Canobie Coaster]

I jumped on the deal. I plan to visit sometime before Memorial Day weekend (targeting mid-April) so I can upgrade my days admission to a platinum pass before going to Worlds of Fun.

 

Based on the progress of Twisted Timbers, it looks likely it'll be open in that window.

So will Twisted Timbers be open in time for Pass Holder Preview Night on March 23.

 

I'm sure that's the plan but I'm not sure how you expect a definitive answer on this.

Media Day will be on Thursday 3/22, although I don't know if TPR members/admins will be allowed to attend as it appears that another group got the primary invitation ( ). Barring major technical issues, I would consider TT also soft-opening on Friday's (3/23) Preview Day confirmed at this point.

Apparently it’s supposed to begin testing within the next couple of days.

I think you totally misread that. ACE members are invited to Media Day. It would be foolish if that is who only attended. I'm sure media outlets will be there. (That includes whoever TPR sends if not Robb himself.)

^Yes, this looks like a call to get people to fill the trains for video purposes.

[CedarFanboy]

Rumor has it Gary Chadwick has left Cedar Fair. Pretty sad, I really liked the guy.

[steamedturtle]

Look what somebody spotted on 95! That's a big ass sign!

 

 

[thrillseeker4552]

Wow! That's going on the station building/box, right?

[JRice92]

That sign looks awesome! I can’t wait to see it in person!

[Superbatboy]

Sign looks great, all this new RMC hotness for 2018!!

[cal1br3tto]

Wow, talk about something fun to see on the road. I see carny rides occasionally, and you sometimes hear about someone spotting coaster track or a manufacturer's truck, but this is a pretty unusual sighting, I'd say. Looks great!

[MiningForGold]

Damn Gary Chadwick left.

 

I’m not shedding any tears tbh because he didn’t seem to grasp the Park well and came off as rather mundane. Their new GM Team Johnson has been there since the beginning, meaning he should have a great concept on how to make the park as successful as it once was.

[CarolinaJay]

Look what somebody spotted on 95! That's a big A$$ sign!

 

 

 

OOOO THAT'S EXCITING!! I'm hoping they'll add lights to the sign so it'll light up at night some sort of way. I can't wait to see all of this amazement in person on preview night!

^That looks awesome!

[mike541x]

Wow. They're really going all out with the theme on this ride. I love it!

 

So weird seeing the old Paramount logo on the station.

[coasterbill]

Wow. They're really going all out with the theme on this ride.

 

I mean... so far they made a sign that says the name of the ride in plain, Helvetica font and out it on the roof of a rectangular metal building.

[Dombot]

So weird seeing the old Paramount logo on the station.

That's what I thought too. Did they keep that while Hurler was still running for everyone to see? Oh, Cedar Fair.

[coasterbill]

No, they put promotional banners over it.

[WolfBobs]

I quick repaint of the station and you could make it look like a barn.

 

Does ivy grow on sheet metal like that? I can only really think I've seen it grow against wood and brick. I guess you could nail some wooden lattice and get ivy to grow up that. It would look great! lol
