  3. A used flyer is mentioned along with the two boomerangs. From the article: The Belgian Plopsa Fans website has recently gotten in contact with Trans Studio and has learned the following: “And as-designed, our Trans Studio parks will receive a pre-owned flying coaster and boomerangs. Indeed, the Plopsaland Bat Flyer will be one of them. Also interesting, one of the Boomerangs will be the one from Knott’s Berry Farm.”
  4. I don't know how reliable of a source this is but this article indicates Firehawk may be going to Asia. https://www.californiacoasterkings.com/this-is-where-knotts-berry-farms-boomerang-is-going/
  5. I rode in row 16 Sunday and didn't notice any difference from normal.
  6. FoF doesn't require a locker at KI, and I've been surprised at what the ride ops have had me take on the ride. Both a full drink cup and my camera bag full of gear have been for a ride.
  7. I know these awards don't really mean much and we shouldn't put much stock in them but I do find it interesting that Kings Island and Cedar Point are the only parks with multiple top ten coasters with 2 and 3 respectively.
  8. Personal acquaintances, those who aren't enthusiasts, have both heard of the rumor (on the news no doubt) and told me they would want to ride it. I stated I was talking about people outside forums. Any expectation I would have (I also stated that a SOB revival was unlikely) would certainly be an RMC. I don't know what you mean by an ultimatum. I don't have one and don't think SOB is ever coming back. Ill certainly keep visiting the park regardless.
  9. Why have a grave reminding of that black mark? While I think a SOB revival is unlikely I've only seen excitement at the prospect with the exception of these forums. If a silly poster at a different park could garner this much attention then who knows?
  10. Dino's closed last year and were removed this year. It hasn't been stated if the cars will go in that area or not.
  11. Wait... He doesn't tell the rest of you what and when to post?
  12. I don't know what you're getting at but I want some names for these hypothetical statements! Even if they are just hypothetical names. On a more serious note I have to agree that FYE gave no proof of how the wood and flowers arrived at the SOB memorial. Perhaps many feel the explanation is likely and therefor aren't questioning it.
  13. That is how a lot of rumors start. But the rumor would have to have some sort of origin or trail to claim it has been rumored and I haven't heard anything about the old station being used for a Giga outside of speculation/imagining here.
  14. G forces are measurable and not a matter of opinion. Millennium Force pulls 4.5 G, likely on the first turn and has a decent duration. I've never understood this insult, you may not care for the ride but to suggest it doesn't have both decent positive and negative g forces is false. For a little reference Diamondback pulls a max of 4.2 and going above 5 for more than a few seconds can result in a blackout. Speaking of Diamondback it's a ride built on having zero g forces as much as possible, which turns out to be really fun too. Not liking the coaster is a valid opinion, but any lack of force is merely perception. How anyone could not perceive 4.5 G is beyond me. In summation -
  15. The last Harry Potter ride, Escape From Gringott's, is also an Intamin.
  16. Many would also be 500+ feet tall and kill you on the first turn, I don't think they're too worried about the details.
  17. You should look into Open RCT2. As long as RCT2 is installed it will work without a disk. It also has a lot of tools and cheats to make things easier/possible that aren't in the original game.
  18. From Maverick I could see the storage shed only had Blackjack in it. I can't be completely sure but I think they had 2 trains going. It started raining as the park closed so I didn't stick around to see.
  19. We waited around 20 min before bailing, was down probably around 40 to an hour. It seems to be a bit temperamental so far this year. It violated a block a week ago when I was on it and stopped for around 20 min.
  20. They have a sign up, and Valravn has been breaking down today and yesterday. The Intamins have been running pretty well. Top Thrill has been having issues today though.
  21. Rain stopped about an hour and a half before close, everything was a walk on except a sub 10 min Diamondback. Got off of FOF around 7 and did Beast, Mystic Timbers and Diamondback 4 times.
