SIX Flags 2018 Announcement Video
vortexfan replied to MDMC01's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Oh my... I wonder if Matt Ouimet could pull off the "tattooed leather-clad biker" look as well as Jim Reid-Anderson. -
I know you're joking, but since I love edumacatin' folks -- it's called "harmonized" because the provincial government decided to combine the provincial and federal sales taxes in to one single tax.
-
We pay a lovely 13% "Harmonized Sales Tax" (HST) on almost all purchases in Ontario.

When you were at the top of Valravn could you feel the ride swaying in the wind? I've heard the structure shakes a lot.

This reminds me of my last trip to NJFTP. The ride op on The Dark Knight was quite literally yelling inane Joker impressions into the mic. If he were any louder people in the queue probably would have suffered hearing damage... I appreciated the recorded spiels at Hershey. Professional and classy.

Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees
vortexfan replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
Is that what happened? I had thought Cedar Fair was considering the product from the "other company" but when they had finally settled on Mondial the "other company" started publicly whining about patent infringement, ruining the announcement for the WindSeekers. -
Cedar Point 2016 Talk

Last I had seen, the lift/drop structures have been removed but the concrete troughs, station, and some other scenery elements still remain. -
Sure, but other Cedar Fair parks, including Kings Dominion, Carowinds, and Cedar Point, have similar lists on their websites. My point still remains.

Canada's Wonderland has a rather comprehensive list of food options available for those with dietary restrictions. Presumably it would not be impossible for Kings Island to do the same.

Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees

I interpret that as a reference to the start of daily operations tomorrow. -
It seems like the biggest screwup on Cedar Point's part was combining OSU day and "preview" night. If there are going to be opening day jitters, they will just be exacerbated by huge crowds. And I'm sure the crowds are even worse with a new coaster opening.
