Worlds First Polercoaster
Oldiesmann replied to elyk's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
According to the article they were granted approval back in 2015 and that approval was extended in 2017 but expired last year due to failure to start construction. I'll still be surprised if this thing actually gets built. -
Stolen Roller Coaster
Oldiesmann replied to flightoffear1996's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I'm wondering what the thief/thieves plan to do with it. Most people likely don't have the proper electrical hookup for such a ride, not to mention the space it would take up or having to explain to others how you suddenly ended up with a roller coaster -
Cedar Point Visit Help
Oldiesmann replied to guy1115's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
The meal bands and FL+ bands are completely separate, so you shouldn't have any issues there. I'm not entirely sure about the second question though - I've never used FL+ at all. -
They're still doing Peanuts Celebration at Carowinds later this year (since the weather is a bit nicer down there in November than it is here). I do hope they bring it back to KI again, but apparently Carnivale is returning next year as well so we'll see.

I don't remember for certain but I believe they do.

Hopefully they'll replace it with something good. It does appear that at least one company still makes that type of ride ("Zero Gravity" from Battech Enterprises) but I'd be surprised to see it replaced with the same type of ride.

The day many have wanted has finally arrived. Cedar Point is now offering a Gold Pass for next year, good for admission at both CP and CP Shores, with free parking and 30 minutes early entry to both parks (compared to 1 hour for Platinum passholders and resort guests). Current price is $99. https://www.cedarpoint.com/tickets-passes/season-passes

That's a shame. I loved that ride. Any particular reason why it was removed?

New multi-level interactive water attraction, Seaside Splashworks, coming next year. https://www.dorneypark.com/blog/2019/august/dorney-park-2020-capital-project

Silver Dollar City 2020
Oldiesmann replied to Maverick44's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
There's more than what can be seen in that picture. The entire ride is supposed to last about 5 1/2 minutes and there's a "mine shaft" in there somewhere as well. -
Silver Dollar City 2020
Oldiesmann replied to Maverick44's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
This picture on the park's website gives a much better idea of what the drop will actually look like. -
Silver Dollar City 2020
Oldiesmann replied to Maverick44's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Looks like an awesome attraction but I agree that the drop looks ridiculously steep in that image, especially for what's being called a family ride. I also love the records they come up with for these new rides - this time "tallest drop on a raft ride in the western hemisphere". This beats out the current record holder by 9 feet (Infinity Falls at SeaWorld Orlando, which just opened in October of last year). -
Looks like KI isn't going to be the only CF park making a big announcement on Thursday... With the removal of Stinger last year (and the recent closure of Dinosaurs Alive, which I believe was pretty close to Stinger), could this point to Dorney finally getting a new (non-relocated) coaster for the first time in over a decade?

Carowinds adding parade to Winterfest
Oldiesmann replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
This is making me seriously consider a trip to Carowinds again later this year. I've got enough vacation time left that I could theoretically do it. It's just a matter of whether I want to drive to Charlotte that close to Christmas... Anyone know what the weather's like down there that time of year? -
They're up to 1825 signatures on that petition now. It'll be fun to see how many it gets to before the announcement (or announcement of the announcement anyway)

HUGE announcement from BGW!
Oldiesmann replied to MaxxForce's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Here's the full announcement from ACE Mid-Atlantic. -
HUGE announcement from BGW!
Oldiesmann replied to MaxxForce's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Definitely considering making a return trip to BGW next year... I'll have to see what other parks announce for next year as well -
HUGE announcement from BGW!
Oldiesmann replied to MaxxForce's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Depending on what this turns out to be (among other factors), I might have to make a repeat Carowinds/KD/BGW trip next year... -
Always thought taking a cruise would be fun. I might have to try that one of these days.

Cedar Point Observation Tower?
Oldiesmann replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
They had a rotating observation tower (similar to Carowinds' SkyTower) but it was knocked down in September of 2012.
