    Stealing Kenny's Curtain | KENNYWOOD and CEDAR POINT | 22nd-23rd Jun 2019

    I'll be at CP but unfortunately, I will be working those days. Be sure to come by Millennium and say hi!

    Cedar Point 2019

    Cedar Creek Mine Ride turns 50 next year so I'm assuming most of the promotional materials are about that.

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    I would like to see B&M start to take a Banshee approach to their new coasters. Banshee has no MCBR but instead has that fly through-block after the helix. It allows for 3 train capacity, makes interval actually possible to hit (allowing for theoretical dispatch to actually be a thing) and takes...

    Queue Behavior — Why do they stop?

    It removes all of the faff while also ensuring that trains are filled with people. Empty seats and longer wait times are guaranteed if there is no one crowd controlling.

    Witches Wheel being removed at Cedar Point

    I’m Gemini’s heyday it had 3.2 million riders in a season. It’s capacity was absolutely insane when it had 6 trains.

    Construction starting for 2019 attraction at SFGAdv?

    I believe it’s going to be a Zamperla Giant Discovery for next year similar to Crazanity. That old waterworks building looks like the perfect plot of land for one of those. Then in 2020 they go for a Raptor or T-Rex that sprawls over the entrance of the park in some manner.

    Cedar Point | Steel Vengeance | RMC I-Box (Mean Streak Conversion)

    I could see the park going away from GoPods after their current contract expires. Yes, lockers are a revenue source but Cedar Point (and Cedar Fair) have been focusing on improving the guest experience as much as possible. Free lockers would improve guest experience thus, in my opinion, making...

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    I I’ll check it out when I have a chance but my bets are it’s photoshopped.

    Cedar Point | Steel Vengeance | RMC I-Box (Mean Streak Conversion)

    I rode last night when I was off and the policy is strictly enforced. They had ops walking through the queues telling anyone with a phone out to put it in a locker. Really I found it quite nice to disconnect for awhile while in line but it’s also unfortunate they had to get to this point. Edit...

    Cedar Point | Steel Vengeance | RMC I-Box (Mean Streak Conversion)

    People were getting nailed by phones on Steve as well. The park just had to draw a final line on it as too many incidents were occurring. I’ve seen the aftermath of someone getting hit and it is not pretty. Additionally, Cedar Point did get $10 transferable lockers this season!

    Cedar Point | Steel Vengeance | RMC I-Box (Mean Streak Conversion)

    Double post but Steel Vengeance is has gone the El Toro route and all cell phones and loose articles are forbidden from being taken into the line. This came into effect today on July 21st.

    Is your home park doing well?

    I’d say Holiday World is doing pretty well. I haven’t been in awhile but I still try to keep up with it as much as possible. Rumor is that the park’s next coaster is set for 2020.

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    Maybe dragster’s is just smoother in the “triple pull” transitions. I have never felt like I was being yanked 3 separate times while riding Dragster but I definitely felt it on Ka.

    Hardest final brake run slam?

    Arrows have pretty harsh stops, Gemini especially. I’ll give a nod to The Legend at Holiday World as that ride slams into the breaks.

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    Kingda Ka’s launch feels like it gains speed in spurts as opposed to Dragsters (and Stormrunner’s) smooth acceleration. While I only rode once in the front row, this sensation was easily identifiable. In terms of theming, KK’s theme is cool but the entire experience is runied due to the duel...
