coasterbill Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Magnum did over a million and a half riders last year, the fourth highest total of any ride in the park despite not having early entry. What the f*ck are you people talking about? Nobody needs to call Alan Schilke, nobody needs to call B&M, it doesn't have a 40 year shelf-life, it's not going to be replaced with a swimming pool and it's sure as hell not going to Michigan's Adventure... lay off the drugs.
DirkFunk Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 This thread has turned into something where I want to do an impression of an overenthusiastic 12 year old with lots of smilies like and of course . LMAO at the sperm smilie. It looks like its wandering through a postmenopausal wasteland. One day, Magnum will be gone. But of the many ways it might leave us, "It is moved to Michigans Adventure" is not one of them.
grsupercity Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Magnum is fine as is and where is. Only change I could see on it is Steel Dragon 2000 style B&M trains on it. Only reason I even say that is because Cedar Point has been good about upgrading there older coasters recently.
Rollercoaster Rider Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 While this is waaay off topic since it is a MiA thread my two takes on Magnum is that either: 1. I see Chance retracking since they did a great job with Phantom's Revenge. Would definitely see some tweaking on the return portion by replacing those triangular shaped hills into more rounded better airtime hills or 2. Magnum just comes down and a new, larger wave pool is built on the site of the old one, taking up the spot where the second drop is. I always thought CP Shores' wave pool was a bit small, especially if they are tying to make it a premier water park. There's still some land of the former Challenge Racing and Ripcord. Or a parking garage
Vonni Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I would expect MiA to get a new thrill ride before a new coaster comes along. Perhaps a Huss Frisbee.
whatabeast Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 It doesn't even have to be a coaster right away. Any thrilling dry side attraction will be welcome. Drop tower, super loop, skyrace ect ect. Im going to say again a system to get the tubes up the hill to Mine shaft and mammoth river is much needed. An elevator lift to get tubes up funnel of fear would also be appreciated. And a second train on Wolverine Wildcat!! Magnum did over a million and a half riders last year, the fourth highest total of any ride in the park despite not having early entry.

We all know this park will never be the craze, but small additions like the ones above will be success stories in my book. Not a 150 ft B&M 5 inverted coaster that other parks dream about. Cedar Fair has stated multiple times they won't re-locate rides. This isn't Six Flags.
codeGR Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 The GM did an interview with Blooloop Some interesting notes: They considered a Halloween event Self-service kiosks for food service Taking photos at the turnstiles for season passes
grsupercity Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 She also said that MIA will continue to be a family park and not a thrill park
djackson Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 She also said that MIA will continue to be a family park and not a thrill park So basically MIA is going to continue being the Great Escape of the Cedar Fair chain.
Password121 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 She also said that MIA will continue to be a family park and not a thrill park Does this surprise anyone?
MIAfan88 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Unlike most interviews with the head person, I never heard anything about future additions. Most upper tier people when interviewed hint about or say they are excited about the future improvements. All I got out the article was a present type thing where the main idea was "Hey we exist, BUT, Cedar Point is better." Which 99.9999% of the GP already knows.
DILinator Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Yeah, I realized Cedar Fair's plan for MiA years ago, and accepted it a few years after that, so this stuff doesn't even phase me anymore. Every three or four years I'll take my kids, but otherwise, it's not even worth my time to drive the two hours over there. I had a CF season pass last year and didn't even go! Having said that, if they DO get those conveyors for the larger water slides, I will definitely make my way back there that year!
Vonni Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Well, there is now the potential of receiving KBF Boomerang with the announcement of its removal at the end of April. It would be a good fit for MiA, even if it is a Boomerang.

It would be a good fit for MiA, even if it is a Boomerang. Helps that there aren't any Boomerangs nearby. The nearest one is at SFSTL, with the next closest ones being at Hershey and WoF. The end of April removal would allow a renovation before/during a potential move

The end of April removal would allow a renovation before/during a potential move The Bat at Canada's Wonderland and Boomerang at Darien Lake would like a word with you. But yes, Michigan's Adventure would be a good home for Knott's Berry Farm's Boomerang as there's nothing like it in the area. The park would also be able to market it as "the first of its kind in Michigan".

But, if you're including those Boomerang coasters, we might as well bring Le Boomerang at La Ronde into the mix.
RCF Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 I mean, it works. This is probably the only park where a relocated Boomerang would be accepted, even if it replaced Corkscrew. With it being Cedar Fair, you know they would also put brand new trains onto it like they did with Carowind's Flying Cobras. I see it as a wise decision for a park that needs something if that is the case. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk
sfkk Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 ^It would also give the park its only traditional vertical loop, something that I personally believe every park should have at least one of.
grsupercity Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 If it got trains like Carolina Cobra that would be great. That is by far my favorite boomerang. Boomerang are forceful in reverse. I wonder what KBF will put into such a small location?

Myself Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Ten minutes of crappy editing, and voila... If MiA does get the Boomerang after all, this is my best guess as to where it'll go.
michaellynn4 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 That's not a bad guess (and is a pretty good editing job). Seems like the best location.
thrillrider Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Wouldn't that essentially cut off the path for future expansion? I think the more optimal spot would be next to wolverine wildcat, or along a new path that would (finnaly) connect thunderhawk and shivering timbers. They have a LOT of land to expand in the future behind where the boomerang is placed in that picture. Nice job fitting it in there though. Area in question
