  1. There wasnt anyone infront of me. I think I was only person on track, maybe couple people behind me at the start. I think it slowed me down due to speed. I held that baby full pull whole time. Could be my weight 280lbs with too much momentum the sled knew I was going too fast haha
  2. I rode Goats on the Roof's coaster last year. Was fun until it auto slowed down my sled. The goats and funky store at that location was worth the stop alone.
  3. Went to WinterFest last night. Park looked great. We were only there for a couple hours. Kinda busy but not outrageous, still had fun. I couldn't confirm but is Mystic Timbers running 2 trains? If they were I didnt notice much of a reduction on capacity. The line moved pretty quick, could been no Fast Lane making up for it? One nice thing about 2 trains is less waiting in the shed. Seemed like you rolled right into the last part of shed and the show started within a few second.
  4. I say Voyage is 100% a woodie. Wood topper track makes it a woodie. Steel support structure has minimal impact on ride experience. It is done for costs and assembly.
  5. It will. Voyage has everything you want in a woodie.
  6. The coast up over hill was a bummer when I rode it. Still stand by my thoughts that the chain lift could be an upgrade.
  7. Originally the launch went up to the top of lift hill right? Then it got changed to about 3/4 of lift hill was launch with a coast over the crest. If the high speed chain lift is actually high speed then this change could be an upgrade.
  8. Probably still dont know if they will have enough employees to cover every haunt attraction.
  9. Its speed up right? Seems to be running a little quickly lol. Also the stabilization of the camera is dialed way up, makes it seem like the ride is actually pretty smooth.
  10. I am talking about when the time comes for KI's new coaster. I don't care what Dorney gets. Good for them to get a coaster but the next KI coaster better not be super short. Also I just watched the POV and the ride time is only 30 seconds from drop to brake run.
  11. Another super short ride bought by Cedar Fair. I know Dorney is a small park but this trend of going cheap and short seems to be the norm now. I hope The Vortex replacement doesn't go that way. Make us wait a couple more years to spend the extra $10ish million if you have to.
  12. Especially with White Water Canyon's and The Bat's super long lines. I have been on the ride with no line and when I get back to station I ask to re-ride but they do not allow so have to walk about a half mile to get right back on the ride while multiple empty rafts/trains go around the course.
  13. Shipping documents have been leaked indicating a family coaster built by Vekoma.
  14. The operations on the wild mouse up at Michigan's Adventure was killing me. Waiting for 10 minutes to get off the ride was torture. I think it had 7 cars? 1 loaded ready to go up lift, 1 unloaded in station, 1 unloading in station and the rest stacked up on the brake run.
  15. Theme it to mine trains. Miami River Mine Company sister company to its lumber company neighbor.
  16. No more water coaster What a shame that ride was great. Is it open yet or know a date?
  17. Hopefully another water coaster cause that ride was fun. Two good drops and got some speed at the end. Id be fine with the exact same layout. What sections were ripped out? Was it just the lift hills? They could be just rebuilding the lift sections if so.
  18. People are obsessed with the smell of splash mountain water so I can see people wanting to buy it.
  19. I thought blue ice cream flavor is a blueberry cream. Kinda like orangesicle but blueberry. Blue moo is a totally different flavor; more artificial, more cotton candy, little bit of a cake batter flavor. KI blue is more of a "natural" fruit flavor
  20. I just dont see the point of the disk. The rafts never leave the outside of the turn. Seems like extra material and a waste. Maybe its for strength? Maybe just for the experience of going around the disk makes you feel like you are going faster? Just a odd design to me.
  21. Does anyone know what the reason is for the big open disk areas on the turns of newer water coasters? Like the one in video above? And some turns have them and some do not. For example Cheetah Chase at HW?
  22. Has anyone tried calling that phone number?
  23. Nah this guy doesnt need to bring you down OP. I think you will be able to ride everything except for Flight of Fear. The Bat 100% you will fit. Banshee has the bigger seat row. Use the test seat infront of Orion or Diamondback and have someone help push it close to get green light like the ride op will do. For Orion and most other rides be the first to enter the ride row for 2 reasons. 1- so you are on the outside right seat to make it easier for ride op to push on restraint and 2 - if you dont fit you can just get up and leave real quick out the exit without having to make anyone else get up. Dont be discouraged if you dont fit on a few rides, there is plenty of rides you will for sure fit and you will have a great time regardless.
  24. I dont know if you know what a water coaster is. They use magnets or water jets to add propulsion to the raft to be able to go up hill and extend the length of the ride. Mondo does not do that. It is a giant funnel and Great Wolf Lodge only has 1 water coaster with 2.5 uphill sections. I say 2 and a half because the 3rd one is very small and only adds propulsion if needed due to a slow moving raft.
