  1. This ride looks amazing and will add to an already great lineup of coassters!
  2. Thats good to hear that there are going to clean the park up and make it look nicer! See i honestly wouldnt mind seeing SOB torn down bc it isnt worth it anymore.
  3. Yeah this park is a lot of fun! I suggest it for everyone!
  4. Well I decided to make a trip down to Dorney Park for the day! Since I only live about 5 hours away I could make it a one day affair! My girlfriend and I arrived at the park around 10:30 am and noticed that the parking lot was packed! I really enjoyed this park last year on my crazy ass road trip! We got in and it cost $36.95 to get in so thats not bad at all compared to Six Flags (Cough Cough). We headed right to my fav B&M Invert Talon The Grip Of Fear! I love this ride for many reasons 1: I love the paint job! It just stands out and is so bright! 2:I love the name and I love the queue line and how the ride goes all around it. The ride is running better than ever! Those of you that have been on Talon before I love the cool messages on the lift hill! I love the layout and it is really intense and unlike some B&M's (Batman the Dark Knight at SFNE) (Hydra) this ride really packs a punch! I love the landscaping around the ride and how the ride so close to the ground! Overall a great ride and we rode it in the front and back! The wait was about 15 min each time. After Talon we decided to hit up Hydra The Revenge! I personally think this ride is not very intense but a lot of fun! I absolutely love the Jo Jo roll! So much fun! The Layout is decent and I just love the colors and landscaping of the ride. I like the station and it reminds me alot like Dragsters station! One thing I love about Cedar Fair is the logos and Names for all there rides and coasters! There so cool and its so nice to see cool names unlike some parks. We rode Hydra once and it was a good ride! Next up the Lazer! We headed down the hill to the Lazer! I have never been on this ride before and was curious of how it was gonna be. The loops looked very intense and this ride really flies! We sat in the front and up the slow lift hill we went! The drop was a decent drop but the hightlight of this ride was the double intense loops! It was a fun quick ride! As we got off the Lazer we looked and saw Steel Force looming above us so we decided to head that way! Steel Force is a fun ride with floating air time but there isnt any ejection airtime. Its a fun ride though! I like the Helix on this ride bc its fast and huge! I much prefer Phantoms Revenge over this and I wish Morgan wouldve made this ride with out the MCBR. On the way over to Thunderhawk we rode the Revolution which is alot of fun and I love the color scheme to all the rides at Cedar Fair parks! If it wasnt for the cool and bright colors the parks wouldnt look as much fun! Thunderhawk is a great classic wooden coaster with some insane pops of ejection air! Later on in the day we rode the Crazy mouse! It was a good breakless mouse and a lot of fun! We were getting hungry so after the Crazy Mouse we went to eat at Game Day Grill! Good food and it was really busy! After we ate we toured the park and rode a lot of there flats! They have a classic Whip and those are always fun and there Top Spin HANGTIME was great! We rode the nice log flume and there train. After that we took a walk through Wild Water Kingdom! Very nice water park and it was extremely busy! The just added a new wave pool! It looked really nice! I love how Talon Soars above the water park! It was around 5 or so and we decided to leave! On our way out we stoped by the 3 point shoot out! We watched it for 30 mins it was a lot of fun! So as we left the great park I relized why Cedar Fair has great parks and thats because they care about them! The staff was great and very quick! Talon never stacked trains! The park was clean and there was room to move around and walk around! I love the setting of this park and the layout! Honestly if this park was ran by Six Flags or Paramount it wouldnt even come close to being a good park. Picture the park with the same rides, layout ect but with a Six ***s name in front of it of a Paramount name in front of it! It wouldnt be the same! Well thats all for now but it was a great day at a great park!
  5. expect a better ran theme park! Better capacity rides! Better food options and please Cedar Fair if your reading this PLEASE PAVE OUR PARKING LOT!!!!! bc Paramount is way to cheap to do it! Thanks MOD EDIT: PLEASE WATCH THE LANGUAGE!
  6. Just think whats in store for KI in the next 10 years or so! I can only imagine. Great Trip report todd! I miss you guys and cant wait until oct!
  7. I have heard from an inside source that it will feature 12 inversions!!!
  8. They have good coasters, decent flats an incredable new water park and ur saying u wish u wouldve went somewhere else?
  9. You guys need to relax a little. Maybe the worker was an International and did know the exact rules. Maybe he thought u were guys where gonna take it on the ride. wasnt there but I do work with a alot of Internationals from all over the world. Sometimes they do get confussed and thought something else. Yeah a bad employee is gonna ruin ur day. OMG if this happend at KI you would say it ruined your day! CF is good and will do good for KI. Ki has some bad workers and say the worng things to guest. Its normal and it happens at all them parks.
  10. I bet it doesnt cost much to instale them at the parks! I know Dorney, CP, GL, Ki all have them now! Any other parks have them?
  11. Thanks for the pic! THis is such a great Idea! GL also has one as well!
  12. I went to Dorney Park yesterday and I say the game there! Let me tell you it was a hit! I watched it for about 30 minutes and I probably saw 30 peopel shoot and they all pay 5 bucks!!! Thats a lot of money! THe whole day everytime i walked by it was packed with people watching it and playing. Its a great game and a great move by CF!!! Does anyone have any pics of it at PKI yet? This is the first simple step in the right direction!
  13. You dont understand. It feels like a wood coaster and looks like one too but it is really smooth and reliable. I hate how rough SOB and Beast are its so painful!
  14. Yea like I said before it was the smoothest coaster ive ever been on and ive been on over 200 coasters!
  15. Well since I know live in Springfield Mass and work at Six FLags New England I planned a trip to go 4 hours south to hit up Six Flags Great Adventure! Ive been oto this park numerous times before and I wasnt really impressed. The coasters were good but the midways and the staff sucked. I came down just to ride EL TORO and I was able to ride it 2 times. The first time I rode it i sat in seat 1.2 and then the last time I rode it I sat in seat 6.6. This ride is absolutley beautiful looking and it doesnt make really any noise once so ever! When we started off I relized how smooth it was! The cable lift was really cool! Before you knew it we were on top of this monster in about 10 seconds! Incredable the turn around was really cool and gave you anticipation for what lies ahead! The first drop is wicked kool and the air time in the back seat on it is insane! The 2 hills after the drop were amazing and had some intense ejection air! The turnaround was so smooth and quick and yet agian out of your seat! The two bunny hills after that were a lot of fun! Then you flew over Rolling Thunder and it is what I call the HILL bc this was the most INTENSE air time Ive ever experianced! The shape of the hill just doesnt even look right! The Crazy zig zag turn around was just amazing and there is some air time at the end and trhen you hit the smooth brakes!! Overall yes Ive been on Voyage 7 times and El toro 2 times but Honestly Voyage has everything you could want on a great coaster but El Toro just beats it bc of how intense the air time is and how smooth it is! It was the smoothest coaster Ive ever been on! SFGADV has a amazing ride on there hands and I cant wait to get back there and ride it again!
  16. They wont sell Great America for a few reasons.... 1: why would they? 2: CF doesnt own any parks in Northern Cali and they can really market this park really well here. They have a 50 year lease! 3: The 49rs SUCK!!!!!
  17. They should tear it down and donate the wood to the U.S.B.A.! The United States Beavers Accosiation!
  18. I hate to break it to you but.... The park was already ruined! Paramount wasnt investing enough money into the parks and the parks were becoming run down and focused on cutting back on budget. Ill be completely honest with everyone that reads this....those of you who know me, my name is Brandon and I was a Supervisor on WWC last year! I've worked at PKI for 2 seasons and was on the greatest BEAST crew ever! BEAST 04'!!! I recently visited the park last mon for the first time since I moved up to Agawam Mass to work for Six Flags New England! Here are my thoughts... Boring employees and they def werent as friendly as recent years! Dispatch times were horrible! Y are we stacking all 3 trains on Vortex? Seriously! No one seemed to be happy! It was sad to see! I love PKI with all my heart and all my great friends out there that work at the park IM not hatting! I went to Cedar Point the day after and darn! There employees really changed sinced recent years! I met this guy Steve, he was working TTD and by far the best GR that i have ever seen in ANY park! He was goving people high fives and always smiling and pumping you up to ride the ride! It was a great feeling! MF broke down and the workers went out to GR on the ready breaks for 15 min! The park was spotless and I relized why it truely is the best of the best! Im not saying CP has friendlier workers but everyone at KI needs to step it up a notch like we all did last year!
  19. I miss my EAGLES!!! The best ride in the PLANET!!!!
  20. BC Cedar Fair bought it!!!! SO now we can finally get some good rides we deserve!!
  21. When I made my trip to Six Flags Great America and Holiday World last month I also was amazed! The Voyage is absolutley amazing and the speen NEVER lets up! I was actually worried when I rode it the first time because of the mid corse breaks! They stopped the train quickly and you lost a lot of momentum! But by my surprize the tripple down was darn good and the train seemed like you hit a booster or lims and you got launched out of the breaks! The last half of the ride was probably my fav just bc it was so intense and fast! I love the angles of the track and the 3 90 degree turns! Just an amazing ride! No doubt! WOOT to HW!!!!
