Make it 4! And add Mrs. NoChickens to it and the whole group is covered. Coming back to a station full of little kids and their parents, I wonder what their thoughts were, more adults on that train than kids.

^ Done. And if you end up remembering what that other item was you needed at Jungle Jim's...you know how to reach me.

Keep in mind RFYLCB was heavily refurbished by Hopkins Rides in 2001. The original version (Arrow Development) opened in 1968 at Coney Island. Haven't ridden it in years so I'm not sure if it's having the same problems as the older Arrow Development flumes mentioned previously.

Smoking area + trees = unhappy Smokey the Bear. I HAD to.

Paging Thrill_Biscuit...your artistic ability would be appreciated in creating the 2016 version of Trailer Tower. The 2008 and 2013 versions need a facelift. Hoeter, sipping on a Vanilla Coke as I type this.

Gotcha. That other beverage company came to mind as I posted something about it last night.

This confuses me a bit. Been scratching my head for the last couple minutes.

I think it's time to bring back the Trailer Tower. I repeat...Operation Trailer Tower is a go! Those who've been around the forums awhile know what I'm talking about.

I'm confused. I know Valravn isn't over 300 feet tall. So I'm wondering where Ryan's post comes into play. I wasn't aware there were 9 coasters over 300 feet tall.

Well there are currently 9 roller coasters over 300 ft...http://rcdb.com/rhr.htm?m=1 Carowinds teaser for Fury 325 was for the 8th Wonder of the World. I'm curious as to what # 9 is...

Building off of dtk1378's reply... I had to visit the Apple Store back in July of last year due to issues with my iPhone. Went to the Genius Bar. About a 45 minute wait. Clerk takes my cell phone number and advises me I'll receive several text messages, once when I'm close to the front of the queue, and another once a representative is ready to assist me. The rest of the time allows me to walk around Kenwood Towne Centre checking out the new additions since it's been years since I've last visited. Something similar would be a step in the right direction for the park.

I did get a notification for 50% off funnel cakes on Saturday. When we ran into you outside of Reds, there was a 3 hour wait. This was at 6:00pm. We had Larosa's on International Street instead. If ordering food on mobile (similar to Taco Bell) is implemented, please don't let Accesso handle it.

It's been almost 10 years since I've ridden White Water Canyon. I need to make it a point to ride it sometime this year. I've had fun over the years shooting the geysers at people on the ride. The last ride I went on in 2008 I talked smack to the operators placed in towers throughout the ride. Lo and behold, they blocked our tube in and had geysers of their own they could shoot at us. Happened at least twice on that particular cycle. Needless to say the people in my group were drenched and not too happy with me.

See also Ride Removal for 2017 and 2018. I'm biting my tongue on that subject...

They can disagree all they want, but they are unlikely to see a B&M anytime soon. Cedar Fair only buys $20+ million dollar rides from B&M. I do think Michigan's Adventure will receive a new coaster in the next few years, just not a B&M. With attendance estimated to be below 1 million people a year the best they are likely to see is a $10 million dollar ride. Lots of great rides can fit in that kind of budget just not a B&M. Valleyfair is in the same position. Likely to see a new ride but not a B&M. This is from Cedar Fair's website. The top three parks for revenue and EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) in 2015 were Cedar Point, Knott's Berry Farm, and Kings Island. I agree that the cash cows of the chain will get the B&M coasters and big attractions. On the other hand, look at Carowinds and the $30 million B&M that opened last year.

Piggybacking off of Terpy, "those who talk don't know and those who know don't talk" Or something to that effect...

I wonder how long it will be until someone busts up the front end of their car or worse on the concrete island at said turn-offs (if it hasn't happened yet)

Thrill_Biscuit's photos are always the highlight of any thread! Carry on people...

Let's say this was 2017 for a minute instead of 2016, it just got a whole lot more interesting.

Found this on my computer from one of Cedar Fair's annual releases last year.

That'd be awesome if you would do this, but it'll be a good amount of time until track starts being made (that is, if it is even a B&M, or actually, even a roller coaster!). I did not see the transfer track until a week or so before Banshee was announced, so yes it will be awhile. The next month at the park will be interesting and if we start to see footings, it's going to make the speculation even more so. IIRC stands for If I Recall Correctly. Sorry for the double post. The multi-quote feature has me confused.

As I did for Banshee, I can drive out to Batavia periodically to see if new coaster track is laying about. I'm only 10 minutes from the plant. For those that were here at that time or read through the almost 500 page thread, I broke the news of blue transfer track that ended up being for Banshee. As of Sunday, the only track present is the yellow presumably headed for Happy Valley over in China.

I'm curious to see how many survey markers and trees are marked back near White Water Canyon in areas not visible by the train. While riding the train on Saturday, it was announced that White Water Canyon will not open until Memorial Day. If it is a coaster, I'm thinking footings may be poured between now and then, with track being placed after it closes for the season. I'm going to make sure that I ride the train every chance I get between now and then and venture back by White Water Canyon when it opens at the end of May.

Well we still have 487 more pages to tie the 2014 thread, 488 to beat it.
