  1. I must have missed them lol. I imagine they will make a lot of money with single use FL at TT2 next year if they decide to add one.
  2. Did any other parks in the CF chain offer single use FL like KI did this year? I saw them at Orion/Flight of Fear and Diamondback/Mystic Timbers but I didn’t see any at Cedar Point this year.
  3. Hopefully we’ll notice a difference in the lights amount and it doesn’t just look like the same amount in previous years. I’m glad that Sol Spin and Cargo Loco will be open this Winterfest! I’m curious why Adventure Express won’t be open though. That would be such a cool experience to ride it with all of those lights. I hope that Snoopy’s Soap Box Racers will be open next Winterfest. It would add up more to our winter coaster collection. I don’t see why not when Big Bear Mountain and Dragonflier will both be open for Smoky Mountain Christmas down at Dollywood.
  4. Lots of work going on today. The concrete path is complete that will travel underneath Flying Ace. Footer work is definitely underway. I can’t wait for Winterfest to get a better look!
  5. Personally I would like one but not as our next coaster. Maybe a couple coasters then this. The next one we need has to have true inversions and the axis doesn’t.
  6. I don’t know which thread to put this question in so I guess I will here. Does anyone know if every member of your party has to be a member of a coaster club for CoasterStock? I can’t remember. Thank you in advance.
  7. Random question but does anyone know how many feet deep The Vortex plot of land is?
  8. Does anyone know why there seems to be a crowd of people near Flying Ace this morning? And yes they are moving I checked.
  9. I agree with you. I just think people don’t expect CP to go with no seatbelts. The lightning trains on display at IAAPA last year did not have seatbelts either. I’m pretty sure it’s a class 5 restraint anyway. Also does anyone know if there will be a max height requirement on TT2? I’ve heard rumors that there will be but I can’t seem to find anything.
  10. There is no seatbelts in the reveal however I have seen people talk about CP adding it last minute. I don’t think that will be the case because when Orion’s trains were revealed they had the clamshells with seatbelts at IAAPA. I think if they were to add them they would have already.
  11. The Pit Stop video was just released on CP’s YouTube channel. Looks fantastic! This has made me even more excited for this ride! No seatbelts is awesome! The trains have such an open design and being 400+ feet in the air with those restraints is going to be awesome. Cedar Point going with no seatbelts is the biggest surprise for me. They must have a lot of trust in Zamperla with almost all of their coasters having seatbelts if I am correct.
  12. I don’t know if there will be a live stream but Tony Clark tweeted and teased that it will be revealed around 10:30. Update 10:00: Tony Clark has stated that the video will release on their YouTube channel at 10:30.
  13. 2022 was my favorite season at KI and CF overall. They ran the parks so well. It felt like CF had everything figured out and they were adding a ton of things. All of a sudden this year it has felt to me that something is off. 2023 KI atmosphere was some of the saddest I’ve seen in years. It felt like Paramount days. CF continues to remove things and make budget cuts. It saddens me to see all of the budget cuts and low employee moral has become. I love Kings Island and I have been going for many many years and I know how good the park can be. I just hope Cedar Fair can figure some things out and maybe 2024 and 2025 will be better. I don’t want to hate on Cedar Fair because they really have taken our park to the next level I am just so passionate about KI I just don’t want it to be treated this way. Maybe this Six Flags merger will be a good thing if the parks as a whole make more money so less budget cuts are made.
  14. Honestly, that’s not a bad idea. As long as it was launched it would fit well. They could theme it to Mantis’s Revenge lol.
  15. Wow. If this continues to next year I don’t think I’ll be renewing my pass. I used to love going Friday mornings when kids would have school and there would be no lines but now I can’t go on Friday’s in August until 5pm. That is outrageous. Only 1 public operating day this entire April??? We used to be open 3 weekends in April a couple years ago. At least we still have 10pm closes in the summer months. Enjoy that while you can until it’s 8pm closes in a couple years.
  16. Glad to see Sol spin and Cargo Loco on the attractions list! Does anyone know if Flight of Fear will be Flight of Cheer or is it just a mistake on the website? It is listed as Flight of Fear currently.
  17. In fact, B&M has gone away completely from using vests on inverts. Monster at Grona Lund opened in 2021 with an updated over the shoulder restraint that is more comfortable but runs the track way better. Also, the new Phoenix Rising at BGT in 2024 will have a lap bar no vests.
  18. Fiesta is definitely much like a Cedar Fair park. Hard to say. All the Cedar Fair parks don’t feel like Six Flags parks in my opinion. But if I had to pick I would probably say Valleyfair. And again it does not feel like a Six Flags park but if I had to choose that is what I would say.
  19. The Good Gravy track has arrived on site. We don’t have footers yet for our’s. With that being said I think what I stated here will come to be true. I was skeptical at the announcement of Camp Snoopy that they could get it open for opening day but I don’t think they can achieve that date at the rate they are currently going. We are probably looking at a Memorial Day weekend opening.
  20. I’m most intrigued about the trains, I know we saw them in the announcement video but I’m interested to see if they will offer seatbelts.
  21. It would give Cedar Fair the world’s tallest coaster once again.
  22. I’m on the Cedar Flags train. It rolls off the tongue.
  23. I know this would hurt both companies but for the future of the parks, please have this merger to fall through.
  24. They should change their company name to Cedar Flags.
  25. I would sell my house and move to outside Branson MO. Lol.
