silver2005

From Flight of Fear's intruduction until Son of Beast's introduction, it wasn't uncommon to see 2-3 hour lines on FoF. Son of Beast would fill up its switchbacks and extend to past King Cobra's helix. Outside of the ever rememberable 4 hour and 20 minute Banshee line for its opening day, the longest I've ever waited was 2 hours for Beast (when it would fill both queue houses and leak onto the midway back when they had the painted lines and The Beast paw prints that led people to it from the Eiffel Tower, and the Coca-Cola Cool Zone), Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster (twice in the same day because it broke down during my first attempt, so 4 hours total for my first ever ride on it), Raptor (on my first ever trip to CP before I knew better than to head to Raptor upon the park's opening) and Volcano: The Blast Coaster.

Ride Thunderhead in the back and then get back to me on the alleged floater air.

^I still have the Cincinnati Enquirer issue with that Flight of Fear concept model on the front cover.

If some of you would have pointed out from the start that those posts were jokes and explained them (I certainly didn't see it as a joke and I've read stuff before that and there was no context to make me think that way), I would have dropped it. Sarcasm isn't that easy to convey over the internet.

My point- Why keep asking for teasers when you know Don won't immediately respond? I don't get the rationale in that. A thread full of that is tedious to read. All those particular posts accomplish nothing. What's so hard about being patient and going over the teasers as they come?

This site has a good relationship between the park and its management. I just don't want to see it thrown away when all you guys are nagging him for teasers. Any of you who were around for the last decoding thread should know how that works quite well.

I also don't get the mindset of us allegedly paying his salary through admissions and in-park purchases meaning that we have any sort of leverage over him. That's pretty much not true.

Uh...he's gonna post more teasers. Its his job. Asking him for more won't speed up the process.

^That doesn't mean we should be demanding of such things from him.

How about we stop being jerks towards Don and let them do things at their own pace, eh? Just a reminder- he's not doing any of these hints just for us. Quit forgetting about, you know, the other demographics that pay attention to the park.

I wonder if the GCI overhaul done on GhostRider is feasible on Mean Streak. Specifically, if Millennium Flyers can make it through the layout without stalling.

^Well, this year the Reds won't because they traded away key pieces and are near the bottom of MLB. When they are/get good, they will fill GABP up. The Bengals have the pieces, but just can't seem to break the wild card game curse.

^Pfft, we totally should have kept going and did Delirium and Invertigo.

^Try doing all the flats in Coney consecutively, including Viking Fury on the tail end. I think I can hear malem cringing from here.

^That, and I think its best to keep it there by Planet Snoopy since a lot of the events that use that cater to families. I honesty can't think of a better spot to move it to.

One thing every KI fan should do at some point- go up the Eiffel Tower to watch the fireworks.

Also make sure to see Off the Charts. Because, as always, saxophones make everything better.

^I do see plenty of that blue at KI.

I don't know. I don't see a lot of Maryland fans flaunting their school colors around here a lot... silver2005, multi-cross-threading.

You could always pull a Captain Black Biscuit and water bomb people at WWC. Always aim for the ones who don't want to get wet...on a water ride.

I found Prowler's ride page including construction footage, and it appears footings didn't start appearing until late September/early October. http://www.worldsoffun.org/prowler_construction.asp If this is a GCI, it may be a while until we see some hard evidence. I imagine (just guessing) a RMC would follow a similar construction schedule.

Oh how I wish I had a gold pass right about now.

I think at KI, the Arrow coasters (Vortex, Adventure Express and Bat) will close with anything more than a moderate rain. WindSeeker pretty much closes if you blow on it. High winds will affect Drop Tower and the Eiffel Tower as well, and I imagine Banshee and Diamondback wouldn't like high winds either.

I wonder what the topography is like at the far end of the alleged layout (south of the train track and just to the southwest of Diamondback's back stretches). I know there are some decent hills and landscape to work with around WWC if this is to be a terrain based layout. Prowler on steroids with a touch of Thunderhead's fast pacing and intensity is my hope for this.

This clearing by Beast- is it after you cross under the 2nd lift?
