TheGreatOne Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 Now only Cedar Fair can buy Lagoon? Why ruin a perfectly fine little traditional park?
Reality15 Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Shivering Timbers was honored.. Saw this back on like, page four or something... but no, Timbers was built in '98, Cedar Fair took over in June 2001. They haven't honored that ride, believe me. It needs some work done still.
darklight_tr Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 ^Really? I visited Michigan's Adventure for the first time several weeks ago and I thought that Shivering Timbers was great. In the long run, I think this deal is for the best. After visiting PKI several weeks ago, I don't think things could get much worse. All of the coasters (at least the ones that were open) were unenjoyable bone rattlers, with the exception of Italian Job and even that wasn't as great as I thought it would be. Several of you have said that Son of Beast has been retracked - I couldn't tell. I walked off the ride with bruises, a headache and a grimace on my face. Words cannot describe how uncomfortable those trains are. The only good points about Son of Beast are the first drop and the loop. I agree that Son of Beasts days are numbered now that Cedar Fair has taken over. As for The Beast, despite the massive number of brakes I got off of it with more bruises, a worse headache and a larger grimace. Both rides rank near the bottom of my wood coaster list. Frankly, the best rides at PKI are Delirium and Drop Zone. The only coasters I like are Flight of Fear and Top Gun but neither were open. I also have visited PKD and PGA. PKD was a great park with some awesome rides. PGA wasn't quite as good, but I enjoyed Top Gun. One definite thing about the Cedar Fair takeover is you might as well forget about any new wood coasters. They don't seem to be very fond of them. Oh and DOWN WITH PEPSI! GO COKE!
snapp0420 Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 a certain unnamed manager at paramount carrowinds said yesterday that cedar fair is not going to be the new owners, there supposedly is a deal in the works with Disney. not from a very reliable source tho, this chick is flakey at best.

Jon Sabo Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Omg. I can;t stop laughing either. Let me guess on "that" rumor. It was a little 'birdie' who cannot be named on the account that it may loose its job and they were informed by a dippin-dots guy who was smoking crack?..lol
Jon Sabo Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 *Did CF bite off too much they can chew? With the recent purchase of PP, it would appear that management over at CF may have bit off a bit more than they can chew.

Vekoma Fan Boy Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 You do know that this is over a year old right?
Louise Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Yeah, I think this can pretty much be closed now. Bumping old discussion threads is fair enough on occasion, but bumping old news threads is pretty much pointless. Thanks!! --Lou
