  1. KI dealt with a big coaster last decade that had a lot of downtime. If we are getting a giga it is going to come from a manufacturer that specializes in safety and reliability. B&M checks both of those boxes.
  2. It was crazy how busy it was the last day of '16 was and then the rain hit around suppertime and cleared a lot of people out. I typically try to use my free Fastlane a couple weeks prior to closing and it has worked out the last couple of years.
  3. While I like the Mystic Timbers queue (minus FunTV), I think it would have been nice to make it an indoor queue to help add to the mystique of the theme. Basically once you get to the steps it would become an outdoor queue. Putting the security videos in an inside queue would be easier to hear the security conversations and you wouldn't have the distractions of the area around the ride. It would also make the wait better during Winterfest.
  4. Both the Banshee and Diamondback cams are currently down. It is probably nothing but it would be great if it was something.
  5. Maybe as they update Coney Mall they will put in a food booth that has more of the fair food like the deep fried oreos, pickles, bananas, along with the standard funnel cakes and elephant ears.
  6. I've always liked the idea of a wild mouse in that building. You could use blacklighting and props so the upkeep wouldn't be as cost prohibitive.
  7. I would also say '19 with '20 at the latest. Depending on where the station goes, I could see some flats going in that area where it ends up going in '19 and then the coaster in '20.
  8. I would like to see Coney Mall get some attention as well. I'll be excited not to have to go to Soak City to get pulled pork assuming that is what we are getting. As far as name changes go I wouldn't mind seeing Invertigo renamed to Screamin' Demon.
  9. I've always liked the guy who looks like Pauly Shore. The 90s... a simpler time.
  10. I'm not sure if anybody had seen the news that Dorney will have an all season locker rental add on. I wonder if this will be something that comes chain wide. More lockers would help with capacity if rides like DB did not have storage bins.
  11. I really like the new seats. Hopefully they hold up well.
  12. I think adding more family flats like a teacups ride, a tilt a whirl, or a Musik Express would be great for the area. Some are also rides that even grandparents may do.
  13. I am a fan of Backlot but I would love to see it relocated to a different area of the park (Action Zone). It does make me wonder if there is ever an example of a coaster being relocated to a new area within the same park.
  14. I really did enjoy CW and I think it is something to certainly spend a couple days there. It is a beautiful park. I would recommend combining it doing others things around the area. The Toronto City Pass is a great way to go to multiple attractions at a discount. The CN Tower and Cass Loma are both great. I would also agree with checking out Niagara Falls and Waldameer.
  15. Flight Deck, the current invert, is probably the worst coaster I've been on. They don't currently have a Wing coaster. Time Warp, another bad coaster, is a flying coaster not a wing.
  16. I figure Wonderland will either get a Wing or an Invert. While I don't think we will get a Giga in '19, I also don't think Wonderland's coaster addition keeps it from happening either.
  17. I agree that it makes more sense to put the entrance down by the former DA footprint. I would like to see them add some flats though and opening a footpath between AE and Racer would allow them to put some family flats there beside of FOF.
  18. Not to mention all of the issues with Lightning Rod, whether it is all RMCs fault or not.
  19. I think based upon what our GM has said that we will see something there sooner than later. It is important to note that he was the CFO at the time TRTR was built so he knows how much was spent on that ride. I think a nice dark ride would be great there and would be something they could keep open thru Winterfest.
  20. And then your head really hurts from the Gerstlauer trains.
  21. Or Les Taxis would fit nicely as well.
  22. When you hear a pop song while grocery shopping and it reminds you of hearing it many times at KI this past summer.
  23. ^ I would agree that was as big of a loss as the Antiques were.
  24. I would say the biggest mistake was the loss of the Antique Cars.
