Parker821 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Drove by the park this morning. Still no gondolas on the wheel, no coaster trains in the stations. I would assume they would need a months notice at this point. I am getting more and more confident they will not open this summer unless the government gives them permission real quick Maintenance has started back and is currently working on getting rides back together, They just recently had a crane day so coaster trains should be appearing soon. They are starting to process and train seasonal employees. I don't see them canceling the season, I think they might even consider extending the season.

grsupercity Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I went to Craigs Cruisers in Silver Lake. Got to ride the new SBF big air coaster. The hampster wheel was in op so I had a regular spinning car. Was a neat ride and seemed like a big hit. Will have to go back to experience the front seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 ^I know it still amounts to a family ride, but I'm surprised that hasn't been more hyped. Intriguing! (I do see now that I somehow missed the initial IAAPA coverage.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIAfan88 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 How were operations at Silver Lake? I plan on going to either the Holland or Muskegon location in early July. Do they have to clean each go-kart after every use? Are reservations required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I have not been to the Holland one in years. Silver lake did not require a reservation or masks. Gr is out outdoor attractions only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other waterparks like Double JJ, soaring Eagle ect have opened while MIA and Cedar Valley amusement parks remain closed. Added: Called that one. MIA announced today water park only opening. Opens to passholders on July 16. I just booked my first visit! https://www.miadventure.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIAfan88 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 It’s better than nothing. Weird that all the other CF parks are doing the opposite and opening dry only. Maybe this will promote a separate admission gate to the water park in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF15 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 My apologies for the inaccurate information, MiA confirmed on Facebook that they are staying open, and the executive order mentioned above looks like it only applies to indoor water parks.

grsupercity Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Some very quick pictures. Main entrance not in photos by Zach's Zoomer looks very nice. Its all blocked off. Coming along nicely.

grsupercity Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Park is opening May 29th. That is only a week later then usual. Most other Cedar Fair parks seems to be opening a few weeks or months later then usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I was looking at Michigan's Adventure on GoogleMaps and noticed the lagoon right in the middle of the parking lot. I found that to be quite odd lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on what areas of the country you go to, you have them next to parking lots so the area doesn't flood and water runoff has a place to go. I've seen them a couple times at Walmart's, Hotel, Gated Communities, and other places. Their usually there when the area is very flat and get a lot of snow/rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert425 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 ^ um. . it's still a Vekoma SLC. . so no thank you. i mean it looks great and all. . but at the end of the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Bert, this one is one of two Vekoma SLCs in the US that don't suck, the other being the Great Nor'Easter at Morey's. Beats me how this dumpster fire of a park can take a dumpster fire of a coaster model and turn it into a really good, really fun ride, but they did! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs the standard SLC train, right? The new paint looks great! SLCs may be terrible rides but they are quite photogenic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
