Malem, this is, in fact, the case. Cedar Point eliminated a large number of smaller clubs from the list, and Coaster Crew was/is one of them.

I believe there is a headstone that is displayed during Haunt at KI...in rememberance of Bobby Schiering.... that states very well how this will go, especially considering the reality of this being an Election year: "#!@* no! It ain't happenin'!"

Like coasterfanatic, I join the clubs for the events. I have my own social circle that Im happy with. As far as which clubs, I was a GOCC member from 2010 to 2012, and a Coaster Crew Member for 2013 and 2014. I will instead be joining ACE this year.

I have a very serious question. In the event that an amusement park shutters its gates between operating seasons, are the individuals who purchased passes for the next operating season refunded/reimbursed for said now useless passes, in the event that a park is not part of a chain where the pass could be used at other parks?

I certainly hope not, tubes are intended to float on water, not hold it. Much like the hopes and dreams of those wanting this Titanic venture to succeed.

Even though this will never happen, I would like to ride Mean Streak with the drop trim de-energized, and the mid-course trim reduced. My honest thought is that, with those two things done, the train will have enough speed/momentum to not shuffle like it does and actually make the ride smoother and more comfortable. Yes, yes, I know about the trims being there to reduce maintenance costs etc etc. Ive heard that horse beaten to death so spare me the lecture or "expertise". I know this way of operation is not possible for that reason, but I truthfully find Mean Streak "tolerable" as-is and would Love to see if its even rideable sans-trims.

That would be an EPIC win in my eyes! Id so Love that ride then, even if they do end up painting and naming it after LeCramp.

I will be there, having a GREAT time with DJSkyFoxx, her partner, and hopefully one other person Ive been wanting to meet for some time now! It will be my 6th Pride Night in a row.

How would you feel in The Beast had a "Rocky Mountain Makeover" About the same way I feel about square tail lights on the new Corvette! Now, it WOULD be cool for a park to build an RMC Beast clone, so we could experience it without *******izing a Classic!! Imagine an inline roll coming out of the curve right before the second lift hill!

I dont see Lightning Run being lost when (oops, did I say that?) KK closes. My opinion is that it will be purchased by a larger park, or possibly even one in Alabama.

If any park is going to make a game non-winnable (Im not saying any are or arent, but everyone knows my thoughts on money grabs, which is why you wont ever see me playing said games), PLEASE let it be any of the ones that give those infernal basketballs as prizes.

The way some of you describe that coaster, you make it sound as if it makes SOB feel like a B&M. I rode it in January of this year for the first time, in the back car of the train, and I found only two less-than-desirable transitions... coming out of the turn before the loop, and then coming out of the loop itself. I dont know who has and has not ridden it with the Premier Taxi trains, but I wouldn't have hesitated one bit to ride it multiple times had I not gotten busy with other things. WMAJrKY, give it a shot and judge for yourself, I may be "painfully" wrong, or you may enjoy it.

Super Loop? Really guys, you are resorting to putting State Fair/Carney rides in your major theme parks????? EDIT:Link to this silliness... http://coaster-net.com/forums/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F12905-six-flags-2015%2F#entry265767 http://www.larsonintl.com/pages/giant-loop/giant-loop.html

I just read that Mr Drakos passed away in early August.. Thats a shame ... R.I.P. Mr. Magic.

The purple train has rattled for 2 months, especially noticeable in rows 3, 6, and 8.

NO bumping in bumper cars, LOL.

OK, NOW I have to figure out how to fit a Carowinds trip into my schedule before we move further away from it.... sheesh!!!

All I have to say about the park.....sorry taxpayers.

What could be worse than Proposing on Top Thrill Dragster?? The "Honeymoon".... talk about something that you shouldnt do in less than 30 seconds!!

But think about this. Raise the Platinum from $185 to $300... thats $125 PER person, per Platinum. Think of that number multiplied by the tens of thousands (guesstimate) of people who have Platinum. THERE are some greenbacks for the profit till! EDIT: AND, use those extra staffing dollars to put line monitors throughout the line to crack down on obnoxious line jumping ^*&*&^*&^*&^(*&)*%&)&{*YT&...ers!!!!! AND, take a SIX stand on it... do it and get caught ONCE, and enjoy the view of the park from Kings Island Drive.

Even though it will likely be a moot point for me, considering the distance I will be living from nearly all CF parks next season, I will say again that I would GLADLY pay $300... Hell even $400...for a Platinum Pass with its same current perks to make up for lost revenue by getting rid of this crap program. Have I had the money this year to use Elitist Lane?? Yes, I most certainly have, but the number of times Ive become one of the "1% ers" is exactly zero. Raise the price of Platinum Passes (which are, and have been, HIGHLY underpriced for years) and make it totally fair and equal for all across the board.

That is exactly where they are, Devan. EDIT: I am not SURE of that at this current season, but they most certainly were not long ago

I watched every single video posted on the web, and every photo/video update that Coasterdad ever posted on GL Today. This one, I still cannot watch all the way through without pausing to collect myself.

That is 100% correct, see the long defunct Screamroller at Worlds of Fun, that was (briefly) transformed into a standup and re-named EXT... Extremeroller.

OK, you, I, or anyone else who is a private citizen would be hanged from the highest tree in the Nation if we ever came ANYWHERE NEAR being over $900k behind in taxes, and I wont even bring up not paying said taxes since 2007!! How on this green Earth does a company... be it amusement park or otherwise... get away with this garbage?
