The Geek Mojo Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Michigan's Adventure is sort of like the Six Flags America of the Cedar Fair parks. I'm thinking Michigan's Adventure is more like Six Flags Great Escape...Not SFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeGR Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Well this is interesting: I just saw this tweet from a local reporter that says "Michigan’s Adventure working on agreement to connect to the Muskegon County Wastewater System." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, "we don't have any expansion plans that we can release at this time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 This is huge news and shows the committment cedar fair has to the park. I know cedar fair has a long list of expenditures they'd like to add to the park (new waterpark entrance, connecting the back of the park to timbers) but they've all been delayed due to the city water, city sewage, and employee shortages. Now that all three of those are seemingly resolved, look for the park to expand much more than in the past 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codeGR Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 That is an outdated map. Notice Pepsi. The map is usually under Plan a Visit, but they must have forgot to put it back on after switching out the '15 map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 With the recent rumors of Canada's Wonderland possibly removing Time Warp, and Knott's possibly removing Boomerang, MA could possibly be seeing two new the park coasters soon. I wouldn't expect them to be scrapped and MA would be the most logical park in the chain to receive such coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedarpointguru Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I wouldn't mind Boomerange and Time Warp at MIA. I know they're used and not popular umongst enthusiasts (I completely understand why) but it's a way to grow the park and bring more people in. It will set up the park for the future and one day we may see a B&M hyper and/or invert take their place .... What? One can dream a little!!

I wouldn't expect them to be scrapped and MA would be the most logical park in the chain to receive such coasters. Great idea if they replace the regular trains for the new restraints for Boomerang. I know it's Michigan's Adventure, but they can spare $2 million every 20 years I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Time Warp would make a lot of sense at Michigan's Adventure. I mean... don't get me wrong. it's one of the worst roller coasters on earth. But people would probably eat it up since you ride in a flying position and they really don't know any better. Plus it's a portable ride that could be moved easily I'm sure. I would think that park would remove Flight Deck as well. The rides are right next to eachother, they're both terrible and it would free up some room for a respectable coaster. Luckily Michigan's Adventure wouldn't be a fit for that since they have the same ride. I sort of picture them slapping Kumbak trains on it and giving it to Valleyfair.

Time Warp is not a portable coaster as it has supports that connect to concrete footers that are attached to the ground. But, it would do very well at Michigan's Adventure as it isn't too intense and is considered a family coaster. Also, it's quite compact so it could fit anywhere within the park. It Canada's Wonderland were to remove Time Warp, they would removed Flight Deck as well because both these coasters have small footprints. It would only make the most sense to remove both of them at once to make more room for a better coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Good catch. I assumed all of those things were portable (most of them seem to be, they just sit on a concrete slab). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepoint4life23 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Sorry to be that guy. But I saw next weekend is opening weekend. I may be about an hour and a half away at the Race track. was thinking i may get away Sunday and check out the park How busy bad do the lines get on a busy day at Michigan's Adventure.

Here's a photo showing the supports connecting to concrete footers for Time Warp. It's mostly grass and a little bit of concrete underneath.
