It's like removing a Chance Toboggan, nothing of value was lost.

Prowler also has 400 feet of Titan Track.

I'd like the Flight of Fear midcourse brake to revert to the "no dead stop" operation... Trim speed as needed, but only stop if it has to.

At KI? There's not any undeveloped land that's either accessible or suitable for other uses.

Should be available in this version, you just need to switch the default emoji set from Invision stock to the full Unicode emoji selection.

That might be due to KD's 50th event.

Cedar Point recently did slices from the original inversion track from Maverick, so it's not out of the question under current corporate.

With rumors of Superman: Escape from Krypton being removed (and it currently being SBNO) I think it more likely that Ninja would get the axe at Magic Mountain in addition to Superman. Viper I believe recently got an overhaul and is also nowhere near Superman, but Ninja is and the recent removals have trended towards being near each other if multiple rides are involved.

Looks like telephoto distortion. It's zoomed in and also from an angle that makes the launch track appear shorter.
Edit: I just watched the entire Rapterra Report 3 video where that clip came from, and all the other, non-compressed views of the launch look fine.

I expect KI's hits from Project Accelerate would be Invertigo, Congo Falls, and possibly Timberwolf and the Skycoaster. So far the parks that have confirmed closures are closing rides located near each other. Carowinds is a little different but Scream Weaver and Drop Tower are close together, despite not being close to Nighthawk.

I expect they want to close the park while still in the initial 5 years of the lease-back agreement. Taking the 6-year renewal for the 11 total years would be very costly.

So is Batwing next?

Meanwhile there's not much left of Green Lantern. Very much NOT a relocation.

Yours is a steal compared to the other two on eBay right now. There's one for 10k, and one for a whopping ONE HUNDRED thousand, but hey, that 100k gets you free shipping!

What about Starbucks? I've always found them to have the best hot choc in the park.

Oh not this again…
The drop is 300. It’s a giga.

Sure, it's a stock model originally intended for another park, but it looks like a good fit for that plot of land with the bleachers where Wildcat was, and the empty plot behind that where some of the old dorms were demolished. Apparently going to be re-routing Perimeter Road closer to the marina to open up that property.
Honestly it seems like a win for the park. They're basically getting a "free" major coaster and filling in that awkward plot of land. The color scheme isn't the best, with the theme some kind of blue scheme would fit best, but I doubt they'd want to repaint a newly made ride.
I wouldn't want it to replace Vortex, that plot deserves something custom-built and using the terrain and midway proximity. Flattening it would lead to a strange looking area, sort of like how Orion's station and queue area look somewhat strange because of that land having previously been flattened to fit Firehawk.

It wouldn't surprise me if Zamperla takes the design modifications they've figured out and simply delivers all-new trains from the factory. It's probably in the contract that they're responsible for the cost here, and waiting on parts from Italy and rebuilding trains on-site is less than ideal.

I didn't see it until 2006 and didn't get a full video, but after the first viewing I made sure to see it whenever possible for the rest of the season. One of Paramount's best productions.

Perhaps Raven and Legend could benefit from some Gravity Group prefab track. They've already installed some on Voyage, and I'm hoping they can eventually get it to where running trim-free is back to being standard operation, instead of an event perk.

Current marketing in Soak City for the 2025 addition. I wish we got a fleshed out media campaign like we did for mystic. (Should anyone wish to use these photos please just reference me you have my permission!)
That fence has seen better days for sure, but I expect they'll have to install a new one further back towards the road anyway.
1 hour ago, DoomPlague said:I think we need a new term for these. Or for the rollercoaster water coasters. Which was first?
Schlitterbahn created it, the original was in 1996. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Blaster_(Schlitterbahn)
WhiteWater West builds them now. Master Blaster is a fairly recognizable term for the overall type.

The CF/Paramount season pass integration was clumsy for a while and that was only five parks (and their admissions system, because CF was still using an ancient setup and Paramount's Gate Central was adopted chainwide), but for the number of additional parks here, it'll take some time to get them all transferred over to the Cedar Fair admissions infrastructure and get every park's systems playing nice with each other. Better to do it slowly than have a chaotic integration plagued by technical woes.

What's a Cedar Fair?
Looks like the TOS is breaking the TOS.

It certainly looks like they’ve added a “swoop” into the turn to the brake shed, based on existing structure above track level that hasn’t been taken out yet.
This means Gravity Group track all the way from the top of the first lift through the midcourse tunnel, in addition to the helix rebuild. Hopefully next year they’ll do the final stretch from the tunnel to the second lift, might be able to back off on the braking too.
