Opening day this year wasnt bad at all. I don't remember waiting over 45 minutes for anything but I didn't enter x base.

Six Flags hasn't had any issues with their RMC coasters. I say coasters and not trains because of NTG. RMC didn't make the launch on LR. That was another company. I don't see any launched coaster coming to a CF park besides maybe a Mack.

Yea that a GCI footer right there. It has the 3 holes in a triangluar shape like the slanted ones above.

RMC makes some great coasters, but their biggest weakness is the fact that most of them are over in like 30 seconds (like pretty much everything Alan Schilke has designed.) They are short but sweet, but just TOO short.

Did you see the Wildfire POV uploaded today? The ride is massive and super long.

The longest I saw a line get up to on Thursday was 45 minutes for Diamondback. I was very impressed with the operations since it was my first visit back since opening weekend. There were still some stacks but it was a lot better. I saw a phone laying on the track after the mcbr. Anybody else see it? It was silver.

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, may have missed it, but they now have food ordering kiosks over at Juke Box Diner. It may be elsewhere but I've only been to Juke today. And of course the kiosk couldn't find my meal plan...

This is the same case as at Cedar Point. Atleast it will help the general public with lines.

Lets look at Rob Decker's last 5 years. Valravn, looks amazing still a dive coaster but it looks amazing, Fury 325 is amazing and looks amazing, Banshee looks and is amazing, Gatekeeper looks amazing and is amazing, Leviathan looks great but it was b&ms first giga so Ill give them slack. Still better than Millennium Force. I trust Cedar Fair.

Wildfire in Europe is a wooden RMC and its crane is still up after it just started testing.I think I remember them being used during the construction of Son of Beast.
SOB was also what... 200+ feet tall?

This coaster will more than likely have a crane as well, just for bigger pieces that can not be hauled by hand. (Or metal track that is RMC...)

I think it is just Six Flags' fault because I rode it in 2012 and it was so smooth. It was my favorite ride of the day.Haven't posted in a long time, but had a question and was curious if someone could enlighten me. Recently I was lucky enough to take a trip to SFMM thanks to my sister living out there now. While there, we rode the GCI roller coaster formerly known as Terminator: Salvation The Ride, now dubbed Apocalypse: The Ride. My sister pleaded with me not to go on it, but I love wooden roller coasters, so she was going to have to deal with it. Now I know that not all coasters are the same and that not all companies are perfect, but this particular GCI was absolutely awful. I couldn't wait to get off and I'm not someone who doesn't love the whole getting beat up and out of control on a wooden coaster, well maybe not SOB beat up
Did I catch this coaster on a bad day? Does it have a bad reputation to others? I know I've ridden GCI's before, at Hersheypark, but I really don't remember if I enjoyed them or not.
On a side note, I really really really want an RMC Hybrid coaster. Twisted Colossus was the biggest surprise I maybe have ever had on a roller coaster and it was by far my favorite ride in the park. It was the only one we rode 3 times all day, and that was by choice. (Although I didn't get a chance to ride X2 because (shocker) it was down for the day)
There seems to be a lot of love for GCI which usually means that they have good coasters, just curious why the more recent Apocalypse was so bad?

The Joker that just opened has a curved drop. My favorite part about a GCI are the couches cough cough seats.I think it is going to be prowler-esque and not a clone. If this is the layout then it is going to be GCI, which could still have some inversions or a launch, simply because of the drop. I don't think any of the RMC's have a twisted drop in them.

Has anybody thought about the drop going into the ravine? Im on the train rn it looks duable. I trust rob decker

I used to be on the bandwagon that Gatekeeper was forceless and terrible but after my marathons on it this season, it is my third favorite ride in the park behind Maverick and Millennium Force. Has Banshee lost a little bit of its rattle? It was almost rough opening weekend. They needed to run the soft wheels on it.
-
What ever happens I just feel the north side of the park is better spacing for a giga. The Rivertown area seems a little tight to Squeeze in a Giga. But CF nows how to make things happen. So we will see. Would have been perfect t if they would have just made DB a giga. It's placement is perfect.

I was surprised that nobody asked Rob Decker about KI2017 at CoasterMania today. It was all just a joke on who could roast the park officials the best

No Limits is such a pain to learn so I don't blame you.

I like how Cedar Point has a bunch of freestyle "rooms" i guess you could say. They also have a lot more snack related restaurants which are less popular so people naturally use those for refills. Kings Island just doesnt have enough places to refill cups. Another thing I see at Cedar Point is there are less cups per capita. The average weight of a guest is a lot lower there too? Coincidence? I think not. I don't even have a cup. I just spring for the water fountains with a water bottle so it fits in my pocket. I save money on lockers, and the initial cup while staying healthy.

I love how you just decided to go out there on a whim lol.No new green track out front. Still just the one piece. Being completely straight, my guess is it's for a station or brake run.

This may sound crazy but the back row is the smoothest. I know this sounds crazy but I felt a rattle on Valravn back row and Rougarou was glossy. It is running so good this year.Oldiesmann and bm0324 try leaning your head forward a little on Rougarou. If you rest your head all the way back, you're going to have a headache for sure. I will admit even with the transformation into a Floorless roller coaster, there is still a couple spots where you bump your head, but other than that, it's been a big success for Cedar Point. Anybody else on here like Rougarou?

The gold pass promotion thing with the count down timer has pink coaster track in it. It reminds me of Divertical's track

Cedar Point seemed fantastic opening weekend. The employees knew all the dining plan options and that they actually changed from last year. The Panda Express line that took me 30 min at KI opening day took me 10 min Cedar Point opening sunday
