coasterbill Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I got the cheese stick at the stand by Gatekeeper...the one that sells fish sandwiches. Same here... personally I'm not a fan though. I prefer to stick to the franchise restaurants at Cedar Point. They have a good selection of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'd be curious to see just how soon Knoebels is willing to invest in a big attraction like another coaster. And if that coaster could actually break the tradition of wood-only coasters in the park... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 To be fair, Kozmo's Kurves and Black Diamond are both steel coasters, but I get your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor6 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Since they are less than 15 minutes apart, I wonder if Knoebels is going to work with GCI on their next coaster? A custom terrain woodie on the side of the scenic overlook chair lift hill would be pretty awesome. Edited January 27, 2014 by raptor6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfreak101 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 ^On the other hand, the entire purpose of the Millennium Flyer's aesthetics is to envoke a sense of nostalgia. The park has a great relationship with GCI - they do maintenance work on the coasters, and Mike Boodley (designer of the Flyers) is really the only reasons the Turns is finally open now - so I wouldn't be surprised to see them get a coaster of theirs. Maybe instead of a terrain GCI, we'd see them go for something like a Rye Aeroplane recreation?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arby Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Bison burgers are not too hard to find. The other food items that Larry listed, though, I've not seen anywhere except for Knoebels. Just curious what other amusement park you have seen them at, so I can be on the lookout on future visits. Yes, I don't recall seeing Bison Burgers being offered anywhere else. Good point. I wasn't considering 'only at amusement parks' as part of my comment. I have seen bison burgers numerous places but not at any amusement park I can think of. Outside of an amusement park, I've seen them numerous places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 ^GCI did a great job at Knight Valley with their mountain-based woodie--why not? I would have complaints with a GCI at Knoebels, especially if it is similar to Knight Valley. Does anyone anyone know if Knoebels actually owns all that land where the chairlift runs.

ansley Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think they should build a terrain steel coaster on the side of the hill where the chairlift is located. Think about it, if they got with intamin or another similar manufacturer, they could build a terrain steel coaster ala Boulderdash, but with extreme steel drops and turns through the woods. Sorta a Skyrush on the side of a mountain. By using terrain and never going above the ground too much except for maybe 100 ft to add to a big drop, they could probably do it fairly cheaply. Probably 1/2 the price, it not a greater discount the the current price for a hyper coaster. Problem is a lot of expense would be spent on engineering/footer/placement on the side of a big hill. I can dream? Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. M Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Does anyone anyone know if Knoebels actually owns all that land where the chairlift runs. This is what I think every time this gets mentioned (which is pretty often). Didn't someone here say they don't even own the land their parking lot sits on? Since they are less than 15 minutes apart, I wonder if Knoebels is going to work with GCI on their next coaster? A custom terrain woodie on the side of the scenic overlook chair lift hill would be pretty awesome. I think a GCI would be too "normal" for Knoebles who is looking for special rides. What makes you say that? They already have two wooden coasters that are as traditional as it gets. How would a GCI be too "normal"? I doubt it'll be a GCI, mind you, since why work with them when they could just do it in-house like Twister, but still. I don't think another wooden coaster would be too "normal".

I don't think another wooden coaster would be too "normal". By GCI, I mean those GCI woodies. They are everywhere nowadays just like B&M's. Knoebels has Phoenix which is from Playland Park, Twister whose layout is based on Twister II, Flying Turns which brought back the wooden bobsled category. Even if they build something impressive like Knight Valley's Wooden Coaster or those new concept coasters from GCI, it couldn't be that special. But I wouldn't mind if they build a completely normal Intamin woodie By the way, just heard from someone back from Knight Valley, Wooden Coaster became very rough already.

This won't be an issue at Knoebels. They take excellent care of their wood coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrlittle Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hmm The 4th generation have been sequestered in our conference room all day. We've tried to listen at the door but without success. What are they up to?!?! Knoebels Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) If it does end up being a GCI creation, I'd love for it to be as good in its entirety as the little portion of track is that they worked on when modifying Boulder Dash... Or they could just build their own Boulder Dash. Edited January 28, 2014 by jedimaster1227 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they could just build their own Boulder Dash. Yeah, this park would do great with another high intensity woodie, and I think both GCI and RMC are both capable of making a kick-butt ride. Uh...

Mrlittle Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 From Knoebels Facebook. When is Eastcoaster? We’re gradually learning more about what the fourth generation is up to. We know they traveled to at least 3 states in search of the right project. And what are all of these long distance calls about? Will they say anything at Eastcoaster?
