  1. Water coaster please. They are so much fun and can have good capacity. I have been on the few at Holiday World, all great, even the little one in Great Wolf Lodge is tons of fun. If they make one it needs to be a record breaking huge one though. Room is an issue in the waterpark. Either have to squeeze it in between lazy river and train tracks behind pineapple pipeline or make a parking lot water coaster if that is even possible. Be really cool if they could make it go down the ravine like the family raft. IDK. They could figure something out.
  2. They gotta stop teasing the return of backwards Racer and just do it already.
  3. Everyone is different, depends where you hold you weight and how squishy you are, and every ride op is different too in their method of getting people in. Only way to know if you fit is to try.
  4. You will for sure fit on The Bat and Adventure Express. The Racer and The Beast have the same seats and with the short lines on Racer try it first. Its going to be tight but if you get that second click you are good. If you can fit on Racer you will probably fit on everything else except Flight of Fear and Drop Tower.
  5. That has to be one of the best jobs at KI
  6. They were working last time I rode it a couple weeks ago. The operator controlled ones. The public pay ones were not working.
  7. Depends on how squishy you are haha but you should be good on all the adult rides except for Flight of Fear. Use the test seat outside of Orion or Dimondback. They use the same restraints. Banshee has larger seats on certain row just tell the seat assigner you need the bigger seats. Mystic Timbers can be tight if you have large thighs. Need two clicks on The Beast and Racer. The ride ops can help you push the lap bar down if needed.
  8. $35 Per person aint hateful of a price for a buffet. I will defiantly try this soon.
  9. I was at the park yesterday. Stayed til 10 to watch the fireworks show. It was a pretty good show but I found it very odd the drones were behind the eiffiel tower. We couldnt see them from the front of the fountains near the entrance plaza. Had to walk down and all the way around Eiffel Tower. Once we got down there though they were awesome. Tip - if you want to see the drones the best spot is between Eiffel Tower and the junkyard.
  10. FYI the Google Maps satellite image has finally updated. No more Vortex, just empty space.
  11. What wood was used for Son of Beast? Heck what were all the rides wood type? And how does the types compare to each other?
  12. Wanted to mention during Halloween Haunt re-entry is not allowed after a certain time. Id imagine to discourage people from going to their cars to get drinks and what not.
  13. If you are doing water park then 2 days would be plenty. If you are just doing the dry park 1 day with FL+ will get you on everything. Park safety has really only been a problem late nights on Friday and Saturday and that is very isolated. Pretty common sense is to avoid large loitering crowds,
  14. Interesting. Im guessing the wood flattens after a train runs over it. Does that mean a wooden coaster gets smoother a little after it is built and tested?
  15. Avett Brothers are great live. Very excited to go to that show. Unfortunate its a Tuesday night but thats what PTO is for!
  16. That is pretty normal operation. If something were to happen the train will stop on the lift hill. With Orion not having a mid course block section they want the next train going up the lift hill asap and ready to drop as soon as the train in front clears the final brake run.
  17. I'm pretty sure it will be exactly the same just a new chain. They wear out like any other moving part. Speed of the lift would have to do with the motor and gearing assembly not the chain. I wonder if a faster lift would slightly increase capacity though. Im guessing maybe a few seconds faster ride time for a Orion speed lift but would that increase capacity or just have you waiting in brake run for a little longer haha.
  18. Kennywood (went once 20 years ago when I was 10), Dollywood (never been), Holiday World (would be 2nd visit), and maybe Kentucky Kingdom (never been).

    Meal Plans

    My GF and I shared an all day dining plan on a trip to CP a few years ago. It worked out great, We were able to share like 6 meals throughout the day. Was nice to try all the different foods offered. Even got to try Pinky's before they shut down.
  20. The entrance of course! The view of the fountains and Eiffel Tower are iconic.
  21. I like the 3 seater torpedo style like wildebeast and cheetah chase a little more than the raft style. Air time in the back seat is great. Even on Great Wolf Lodge's two small drops you get a good pop of air. I'd take any water coaster though, just make it big and tall.
  22. I am a huge fan of water coasters. Been on all 3 at Holiday World and the one at Great Wolf Lodge. They are a lot of fun, good capacity and a definite crowd pleaser. I would really love to see one built at KI's water park. The worlds tallest or longest water coaster would bring the park to another level. Please Cedar Fair?
  23. That speed hill is going to be insane. I also like how the park is keeping the head-chopper, after the helix, under the drop a secret. I think it will really blow peoples minds.....
  24. Could the "prop building" be the metal detector area?
