Maybe Skyrush will actually be enjoyable.

^And then set it to every KIC error page including when the site goes down.
EDIT: I'm still getting used to the new logo when it comes to tabs. I keep accidentally closing the KIC page thinking its an extra/unwanted page or something. -
We've been lucky with ours in terms of down time. Most of the others have been bad at down time, both the normal Invertigo models and the Giant Inverted Boomerangs. I remember several news stories about the CGA and SFA versions being stuck with riders and it drew a lot of negative attention among normal guests.

I think Vortex is slightly underrated. Its not that big which means it won't wear out as quickly as bigger steel coasters and honestly its pretty comfy for a stand up IMO.

Its more like Banshee's trains attached to Dominator.

From following Carowinds' own FB as well as their fanbase, RMC means Routine Maintenance from Carowinds. They've been doing in-house retracking on Hurler and I'm guessing they're cleverly squashing actual RMC rumors.
I can't find it anymore, but I think they're also reverting Vortex back to red and black.

Maybe KIC will be issuing scratch off cards with the old logo that gets removed to the new one.

Kentucky Kingdom is cooking up something on March 7th.

I wonder why when most other wood coasters get rough, even among their most die hard fanbases, they were just bad rides, but for some reason, SOB got a free pass for being rough among its die hard fans.
Also, the OG poster wasn't far off from the truth.

Something musically relevant.

Racer getting more track work is also nice.

^On my visit last July, I found it weird that most people just made an immediate left turn at the gate at KD and the end by the Eiffel Tower was barren (didn't help that ET was closed). I think it also has to do with the asymmetric design of the park compared to KI along with a lack of pathing and attractions directly south of their ET. Seeing construction pics of KD, it feels to me like they really wanted to make the lake under Anaconda a main focal point of the pathing. Like, if they made their I-Street go in a more southwestern direction, it would have complimented the lake and pathing perfectly.

I'm in community bands all year and have turned playing my sax into a hobby including transposing a lot of music I just want to play for fun (and potentially for random solo gigs, may start to share recordings on here). College basketball was a big thing for me for a while, but I'm not liking what college football (which I've stopped watching) is starting to do with the other sports so BB might be up in the air. Its a bit tough as I find it hard trying to find things to do of interest in the winter (I don't dislike winter as much as many do), maybe Pops/CSO concerts if I find some I like and a bit of random photography if something presents itself.

Now that I'm seeing both Loch Ness Monster and Big One at Blackpool being retracked, I'm starting to go through the what if's of whether that would have worked with Vortex.
I'm hoping Magnum is in good enough shape to retrack in such a way as well.
-
I've caught a hat on Diamondback and a scarf on Beast. I've also been hit by coins on Vortex when they dropped from the top of the loops and landed as we bottomed out.
EDIT: Oops, I didn't know I posted the same thing a few posts above.

Wasn't the Dinosaurs Alive! film an upcharge at first? I think that may have delt a blow to its popularity. I know Spongebob did start to lose popularity its last few years, but it was also left there for an eternity compared to the previous films before ending its run.

James Bond: License to Thrill was my favorite film shown there.

^Before in 2018. The entire figure 8 section was jackhammer city (I rode on a center of the car row). Weather also affected it as it didn't have the ejector air that it supossedly has and felt sluggish. Its at 16 out of 37 wooden coaster I've ridden.
-
I always thought of an alternate reality where KI waited a few years to build SOB as an Intamin a la El Toro, but from what I've heard about El Toro aging (plus my own experience riding it), I'm not so sure that would have gone well either (would have at least been a better ride and lasted longer).
Such a boring layout, and a 200 ft wooden coaster with no airtime wasn't a good thing either.

I think there is a slight possiblity that some Arrows get rebuilt. I think the B&M rebuilds of Nemesis and Hulk have created that spark.

Could they just be having the conference the same weekend as Coasterstock as a separate event?

Backlot into pretty much anything better than California stunt driving.
-
Doesn't BGW have a thing where KD can't build a new B&M? Or is Cedar Flags paying through the nose to get around it or did it expire if true?

Skyrush @ Hersheypark getting new seats and restraints

^My leg muscles are built tight so I usually route stand up coasters early on park visits on parks that have them, and I do the same thing with Skyrush.
