I was very impressed by how they handled the long line for Timbers. They walked everyone back in a very organized way, and I particularly appreciated how they kept the different queue extensions separated in a way that allowed the Rivertown midway to be unimpeded. I imagine they'll use the same system for opening day.

Goble will be delighted to know that the spinning wheel games are now entirely front of the line tickets.

Dodgems looks amazing.

My Mr T Review I think the nickname is fairly appropriate for the ride. For those GP that say it's not up to snuff because of the stats, it pities the fool. Its a fantastic ride from start to finish. The pre-lift is a decent build up, the ride paces very well, there's airtime everywhere including on elevated turns where you wouldn't think there'd be air, laterals were decent, the s-curve into the tunnel is everything I'd hoped, and the trick track into the jump up to the brakes and making that subtle banking turn is a great way to cap things off. It's soooo great having the best wooden coaster trains conceived by man in the park. This is easily a top 5 woodie for me. Shed Spoilers

^That kind of displays another great part of Millennium Flyers- while there is a difference between the back and the front, there's more consistency between the seats than any other wooden train.

The good news is the slight risk for rain today and Saturday has disappeared from the forecast, but Sunday is still looking mighty wet.

I think JJ might be the only Premier spaghetti bowl model to have this occur so often (others including the FoF twins, SFFT's Poltergeist, and Crazy Cobra at Discoveryland in China).

Just out of curiosity, can you make out what's going on in the shed from the queue/station? Or is it more well concealed? silver2005, who will be bringing his headphones with his phone on Friday. I also love the way the train looks approaching the station. It looks like its meandering through an old saw mill town.

If the rain on Sunday could be on par with the epic Haunt meet up of 2014, that'd be great.

Yeah, I'm definitely getting a back seat ride on this over the weekend.

One reason I suspect CP can work as a resort better than Kings Island is location. Kings Island is in a far more urbanized location and has more competition with hotels along with being closer to Cincinnati than Sandusky is to Toledo or Cleveland. There's also far more to do within, say, 20-30 minutes of Kings Island than there is within a similar radius of CP.

Dang, even on the slightly more stretched out bits, GCI squeezes in some trick track. The turn around section looks crazy awesome.

^Does Lucas' snow summoning cover other forms of precipitation?

Well, at least Friday and Saturday are rain only. Sunday is looking like thunderstorms.

Unfortunately, I see rain in the forecast for this weekend, a very low chance on Friday, slightly higher chance on Saturday, and Sunday has the highest chance.

If they're dispatching that quick, they may be training the crew tonight.

It absolutely flies through that 2nd hill. EDIT: If you want to see it go through the whole course, see the Diamondback cam. Its tearing through the entire course. I'm more giddy about this than Thunderhead. It's also entering the brake run rather quick to give you an idea of how is pacing through the course.

A tip I would have in giving directions around the park is don't always use ride names to describe landmarks. Guests can often forget which rides are which, so try to use visual cues instead of ride names (ex. Vortex- the big coaster in the back with the loops, Banshee- the magenta and blue coaster in the front, Racer- the white coaster, etc). Use more than one way to describe a path.

Come to think of it, its kind of surreal seeing Kings Island nearly tied in coaster count with Cedar Point. I never thought that'd ever be a possibility.

I do like all the pass holder ERT events the park has scheduled this season. Definitely will plan on attending a few.

I imagine it'll be spoiled immediately on social media.

^You could fit a few flats and a restaurant back there easily.

LED's on Vortex's lift and inversions please.

That whole area between the Eiffel Tower, Grand Carousel, Backlot, Diamondback, and Coney Mall could use some attention.

Well, to be honest, Carowinds' wooden collection even with Thunder Road was hardly anything to write home about.
