Hawaiian Coasters 325

I wish that could be a ride so we could all do it lol

Why do we even have this discussion in the first place lol. I absolutely DO NOT want Disney to buy Cedar Fair and I believe it will never EVER happen.

Yes, but the theme doesn't really go with Rivertown too much.

I don't believe we'll see one of those low capacity rides. Tbh I think maybe we could see a Mack or Primer launch coaster be built with that kind of theme. Tbh I wonder how a West Coast Racers type ride would work. Maybe giving it a horse derby type theme.

A little hard to see, but it turns out you can see Orion from my neighborhood!

Yeah those are just the vertical pieces on the haidrail. However, I do see a strip on the handrail that look kinda blue imo. Maybe that's a similar light strip to Fury. However, we don't know.

They usually don't release the real pov until around the ride's opening.

Also we can see a little bit of the Quonset Hut building.

Decided to make this for what could replace Backlot Stunt Coaster if it's removed. This is an overhead of an intamin blitz (I used Maverick as a reference)

It's kinda crazy that Google maps hasn't changed yet.

He's been gone since I believe around the end of the season. He got into some type of argument with the mods I believe.

I think I saw somewhere from No Coaster Con that Don said that a world record breaker isn't what they wanted and they wanted to take advantage of the land topography and build something unique to the park.

yeah. I honestly wish Sixohdieselrage was still allowed on here because he would be our best source to find out more things lol.

Maybe there is an actual reason they aren't. Maybe because of Area 72, like area 51, they want to keep it secret lol. However, I'm sure likely when we get closer to opening, we'll see some sneak peaks into the area. Heck, maybe they'll invite John Matarese in for a sneak preview like they did last year.

Cedar Fair literally just shot down an offer from Six Flags. I don't believe we'll ever see any type of merge or acquisition between the two chains.

Here is a great video from Amusement Insiders talking about what we could expect in terms of when coasters are going to be built.

I haven't really heard much about Carowinds lately in terms of performance. I might be wrong, but I don't think they got too many honorable mentions for this past year even though they opened Copperhead Strike. Does anyone know anything on how Carowinds did?

What an amazing story! I'm working at the park this year and one of the things I'm most excited about is meeting new people.

I believe they're going to do whatever they can to keep it around. Beast is a lot more legendary and iconic to the park than Vortex was.

New Instagram post from Kings Island:

The only way Beast closes is in the highly highly highly unlikely event that Kings Island shuts down.

Well the lift is gone. Now all we have is the predrop, the drop, and the first 2 turns.

I don't know if the Koch family is too interested in buying another park. I believe they chose not to buy Kentucky kingdom because it wouldn't have worked out for them. I believe they do best as an individually ran park.

I hope to God that holiday world does not close. That would likely make me even more upset than I am about this!

Wow! I didn't see this coming! I never got to go to this park! It looked like a great park! This feels like Geauga Lake all over again! My heart goes out to the employees there as they move on.
