No one wanted to blast out the reservation system went live around 0800 this morning?
I don’t see the problem personally, perhaps they did it earlier in the morning so that the system didn’t get overloaded.

While it sucks the hours are shorter one thing to consider is the fact that lines will likely be shorter due to limited capacity.

So this ride is gonna be about the end of the arth because another planet hits us right????
The ride theme is that meteors are hitting the earth and we need to go to a new planet in the future. Scientists have created a simulator “Orion” that’ll be used to conduct tests on what’d it be like to travel to a new planet. I think that’s the story but I could be wrong

At that point, it might just be cheaper to install a fountain and buy the BiB of your favorite sodas
The cartridges are actually quite expensive for the freestyle machines.

Shivering Timbers?
That was built before the park was purchased by Cedar Fair. Ghost Rider while finished under CedarFair management was already designed and under construction before their purchase, similar to The Bat.

Plus the GG team consists of many workers from the old CCI company.
It is also interesting to note that CCI was favored heavily by Six Flags, CF, and independent parks. Paramount did not buy a single CCI coaster.
I mean the Paramount Parks already had a pretty large wooden coaster collection and they seemed to focus on somewhat unique or innovative rides. Also I don’t think Cedar Fair built a single CCI rollercoaster.

^ I think the new fountains themselves are better then the original but I do think they should have added the topiary around the fountains.

I emailed Kings Island and they said they aren't using paper maps this year.
That’s interesting considering the fact we’ve already seen printed maps.

Watching that Worlds of Fun video: is it just me or does a ton of that look like it was filmed at Kings Island?
Yes, that video is just going to be posted by every park, notice how they referred to it as Cedar Fair parks and not Worlds of fun.

Just out of curiosity (I'm definitely not in that group lol) - is that before the park opens?
The first rider event is scheduled to be on July 1st with more details to be released later this week.

I really hope they didn’t. Is there any reason you feel this way?
Cedar Fair has cut their Capex for this season, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the theming was canned.

As per the whole mask debate yesterday, if they aren’t going to require masks then I probably won’t go to the park. It’s a simple but effective safety measure to prevent the spread of Covid-19, I’d be disappointed if they didn’t require masks.

^ I wouldn’t necessarily say the park doesn’t care about the atmosphere, just look at all the work they’ve done in the past few years improving areas around the park. They seem to be caring more and more about the little things (glockenspiel, having areas have a cohesive theme) I think as each season goes on the park returns more to its original vision of being a well rounded theme park.

With reduced capacity in the parks and more frequent sanitation, will fastlane be available and it so, will it even be worth it (as those in the FastLane line will still be subject to delays)?
I’d venture to say yes, Fastlane is a huge money maker for the parks and I’m guessing with limited capacity the profit margin will be very slim so they’d like want a way to maximize guest in park spending.

Cool to see but wow, that is a lot of concrete with no trees. Hope Area 72 isn't Action Zone 2.0
At least it has a cohesive theme

I imagine throughput would have been miserable compared to all of the other coasters.
400 riders per hour, I think the worst part of that ride is probably walking up all those stairs.

Wow, and I thought Intimidator 232 had trims!
Yeah but Behemoth is actually a good hyper coaster....

Out of those options the only one that sounds good is the 2nd to last one.

I think it'd be great if the park brought back souvenir maps for the 50th anniversary.

I don’t think Cedar Fair went to Intamin and said “Please make a coaster that causes people to black out and will require re-profiling after one season of operation”

Dorms are filled with people under 30 who are not dying. Relevant? I think so. I think so A LOT!
1st of all people people under 30 can still get very sick from this virus but more importantly those people in the dorms would then spread it to others which will eventually lead to older or more at risk people get infected with the virus

I have a question for anyone who has operated Vortex (maybe @VortexBFForever can answer): Was the mid-course brake run capable of stopping a train? If so, could the train make it to the brake run from there?
The point of a mid course is to stop a train from that position and they’re designed at an elevation that allows them to still be able to complete the course.

Amusement insiders is not close to being a reliable source, take that video with a huge grain of salt.
