So basically every B&M since Banshee that's been installed at a CF park has failed miserably at raising your heart rate even a little........which is one ride, Valravn.
Seems like a broad statement to make based off such a small sample size.

I'd even argue that they had a winner on their hands with Valravn.......
Me too......outside front row at night is one heck of a thrill.
Remember, I didn't make the statement that they have failed miserable since Banshee. I'm actually in the process of booking an April trip to Carowinds to check out Fury cause I love me some sexy B&M goodness.

EDIT: Id Love to ride something new at a CF park that actually raised my heart rate a bit, which B&M has failed miserably at doing since Banshee.*
*Note, I have not ridden Fury 325 yet, so that may be the sole exception to this statement.
Just curious......which new B&M rides at CF have failed miserable for you since Banshee not counting Fury?
I can only think of one, Valravn?

Thanks for the info! Another dumb question, do you have to be a member of a Coast Club to participate or can you just be a Gold/Platinum pass holder?
Club members only.

Gatekeeper ridership number for 2016 : 1,923,420, nearly 2 million, tops at the point.
Apparently a few people enjoy wing coasters, including me.

No coaster clubs will be allowed this year
Fact or opinion?

Now if they could link your Funpix to your season pass so it would be one less thing to carry around...that being said, I did not have Funpix, but my understanding is it is a seperate card with a lanyard.
As I've stated before......our Funpix plan is linked to all 3 of the passes in my family.

We have it on 3 platinum passes......they offered and set it up, I didn't even ask for it on all our cards.

Not sure about the drink/dining plans since we don't have that option but our Funpix account is linked to each of our cards.

I think sometimes, when claims are made of guns being broken, the cause can be traced back to simply incredibly poor aim on the part of the rider. If you can't aim the gun properly, you won't hit any targets, and if you don't hit any targets, you'll tend to think that the gun is broken when it's not. Pro tip: don't try to shoot one-handed. Use both hands in a proper handgun grip for maximum accuracy.
This perfectly describes my wife.
I rarely have trouble with mine but hers is always broke.....what are the odds?
A 50/50 chance each time we ride and she gets a non-working gun, lol.

I just confirmed with Blood Drums on their Facebook and they will be playing at five six and seven o'clock on the last day of the season
Seems odd that they would start a show at seven when the park closes at seven.

I cannot find details for the free friend bit, but is that allowable on any public open day remaining, or does it need to be a Sunday like the fast pass thing? I have a few friends that might like to go, but I cannot plan when to take them!
Sunday only and one per passholder which must be present.
See my post above.

They are requiring everyone to have a new picture for next year, since some people may still be using pictures from around 2007, so you must choose one of those options.
Also, does anyone know the process for getting a new card for someone who renewed from a Gold Pass to a Platinum Pass. IE can they get their platinum card this year and be able to use it for the remainder of the 2016 season (renewal) with the understanding that the platinum benefits do not work until 2017?
First I've heard of the required new pictures. Ours are only a couple year old.
For the record.....I chose "take at park" for all of our passes and there was no problems using them this past weekend.
Wanted to mention, because it threw me:
When you renew this year, and print your "vouchers", there is no barcode on it to scan to get your Fast Lane, like in past years. Actually, you don't need to print anything. The free bring-a-friend ticket can be redeemed at the ticket sales windows, simply by scanning your pass. Same with Fast Lane wrist bands at the Fast Lane booth.
Very convenient.
Convenient yes but that pretty much restricts the benefits to the card holder which I understand is the premise. Last year my daughters friend used the wife's Fast Lane since should could not attend and we was going to let her use the Bring a Friend tickets since me or her will not make it back this year. Oh well.
-
As mentioned earlier in this thread......when renewing online you must pick a photo option to continue (capture, upload, take at park). I certainly don't want to do any of those options and I can't remember what I've done in years past but our passes/pictures always carried over.
Thoughts??

Here's a kicker, what if the problem wasn't with the restraint? What if the restraint worked perfectly and held the passengers in the boat just as it was designed to do? That still wouldn't have prevented the injuries that killed the boy and injured the other people in the boat.
How do you know?

Did I miss something........the second announcement is KI installing a Ferris wheel in Newport?

Don't have a link since it was one of the multiple reports I read earlier today but it stated his brother was not in the raft with him, there were two adult women that also suffered injuries.It also brings the question, was his Brother in the raft with him? The thought of his Brother being right there to see it unfold would be.... unimaginable.

Take a look at the plans again. The building are at a perfect 90° angle, the track isn't.
Yeah.....I knew there was a radius in the final turn but it kinda threw me when the renderings were released and it seemed there wasn't enough room for that type of transition.
I must be having a hard time judging the scale of the shed/station.

-
I thought of that but I just don't see enough width in that area.......turn tables require quite a large radius.
Maybe the shed/station rendering is way off and it won't be a dead sharp, right hand turn.
If it is accurate....I'm stumped (pun intended).

That turn looks interesting though. It's a tight one.
Yep....instead of "what's in the shed" I want to know how the train will make a 90 degree turn between the shed and station.

Based off their pricing structure KI would be around $168.
If it comes to KI I would expect it to be higher than the above number.

Technically, RMC has. Isn't Lightning Rod 206 ft?

Lift hill height is 206 ft. which is 80 ft. above lift hill crest.

I had always heard that location, the area between Chicago and CP, was very desierable to Cedar Fair. Correct me if I'm wrong but was there not a couple of failed attempts for them to buy land and build a park from the ground-up in the Michigan area? Near Battle Creek possibly??

After booking at Camp Wilderness I remember how much I miss the campground.
So wish KI had their own lodging options....I understand why they don't but I really, really wish they would. Not all passholders live in Cincinnati.
