I had it last night. Different than previous years- they are serving the macaroni without any cheese then you pick from 4 different cheeses which one you want. From memory- five alarm, brew master (beer), alfredo, and classic. I had it with Bacon jam and the brew master cheese- it was pretty tasty. Much better than CP.

What I find most interesting about this is that it is designed by Joe Draves, not Alan Schilke. This will be his first RMC. Both are consultants at Ride Centerline, which has designed all of the RMCs.

I have been sitting on KI drive for the last 35 minutes- crawling along. The park is about as slammed as it gets. They are parking cars in the grass next to the road. Diamondback: 150 min Orion: 180 min Banshee: 90 min Mystic: 90 min Beast: 150 min Flight of Fear: 150 min

Agree with this! We did the same. The roast I had at Grain and Grill was fantastic, and so was the au gratin potatoes. I wish the sirloin at Coney BBQ was as good as that roast was (though I will still get the sirloin ) The portions at the burrito bowl place on the other side of IS were very large- more so than Hank's. I couldn't finish my bowl. Grizzly is, hands down, the worst wooden coaster I have ever been on. This year I got two more rides on it, for an all-time total of 7. It still earned that dishonor before, but this year was on a different level. The layout is really nothing too spectacular- especially the first drop that goes right into a slow turn-around. The roughness was just brutal. Rougher than Mean Streak or SOB on their worst days. If it were to get re-tracked (completely) AND get new trains, it might stand a chance at being decent. Reprofiling some of the turns and hills might give some semblance of airtime, instead of feeling like sitting on a washing machine full of rocks and getting punched by Ronda Rousey.

I mean... aren't all inverts floorless?

Really wouldn't be too hard- might have to beef up the footings on either side of the hole, but then you'd just run a steel beam across to catch the columns that are removed. That service road access is done just like this. Seclusion, on the other hand, is a different story.

There is some construction happening in Coney Mall- pavers have been removed just outside the Kill Mart building, with what appears to be a concrete pad poured. Sheets of plywood cover the slab to protect from recent rain. Thoughts?

A few more pictures I took last week:

I really liked this movie when I was there a few weeks ago. The films for the 4D theaters are produced/licensed by a company like SimEx Iwerks: https://simex-iwerks.com/shows/yogi-bear-4d-experience/ They really do have a lot of shows that they license! https://simex-iwerks.com/shows/see-all-top-4d-experiences/

The building near the front of the complex is the maintenance building, which is not necessary to open the resort. My comment was regarding the delays up until this point- not necessarily why this week didn't proceed as planned.

Materials have really been a challenge this year. Lumber has been well covered, but things like insulation, copper wire & pipe, even the plastic pool lounge chairs are experiencing manufacturing delays/shortages.

Camp Cedar *should* (barring any major issues) be opening late this week….

I wonder if a Screamin' Swing would fit in there. I kind of doubt it, but that's never been done before (to my knowledge).

Yes, bring on the Boingo!!

@DonHelbig does this mean my wish is coming true?!

If they made a chain grease scented candle I'd buy it.

Those went fast. Less than 5 minutes to sell out.

I am SO excited to have a Schwarzkopf looper so close. The closest one currently would be Sooperdooperlooper.

How about a ~135' GCI Titan Track with a infinity flyers, chain lift, 95° Drop, midcourse LSM boost, and 3 inversions?

Maybe you are right. I definitely want to see it in the daylight tomorrow to tell if it’s actually new track or not.

The new machines were gone today. Perhaps we will see them permanently installed next season throughout the park or chain.

Honestly I would love to see a (ground-up) RMC family coaster.

Now show this with the clearance envelope.

Disagree. Just rode twice and there was only one section of about 15 feet that was new- the dip in the helix.

It appears that the park is testing new metal detectors at the front gate today. They look to be the Express model by Evolv Technology, and allow security screenings to take place fluidly and without bag checks. Traffic was flowing much faster through the security checkpoint using these new machines. https://evolvtechnology.com/products/evolv-express/ Have you been to the park and experienced the new screening process?
