I'd also like to know where the Zamperla disappointment comes from. I've never known them to be particularly bad at anything.
-
KI's past problems with 'giant' flat rides (see Tomb Raider, a Giant Top Spin and Delirium, a Giant Frisbee) may have deterred them from getting the bigger model as well.
-
I'm hoping for a nice eye catching lighting package on Sol Spin.

Hersheypark Announcement
silver2005 replied to Orion742's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
^From what I've heard, Iron Gwazi had a quick transition from testing to opening and HP and RMC may be doing Wildcat similarly. -
All that over a little paint, huh?

Is it just me or does Titan Track sound like its pretty loud? -

Woot! We have testing! https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=259806769865489 -
So I did indulge myself in a POV taken this past weekend with the new track (won't post it due to it being questionable on permissions for said POV), and it appears that Grizzly wasn't entirely redone, but a good chunk is. The areas redone are the first drop into the second hill, and the second drop all the way through the fan turn after the tunnel. Could be a multi year thing like Racer if KD is committed to going 100%.

^That and on the video I posted in the TTD thread it's shown running. -

I've seen reports that Iron Dragon opened today. -

From what I'm aware, the drone footage in this was taken legally and within the proper guidelines. Overall, the track is done, they're adding a bit more bracing to some of the later elements, and getting the queue and locker area finished (the ride has 2 stations a la Flight of Fear or Millennium Force). The red track with the black bracing makes it pop a bit more visually than some other red RMC's IMO. Also like the use of the old track as a nod to the original GCI. -
I'm seeing generally positive reviews of GG Grizzly on various forums.

Good luck finding adequate staffing.

Online tickets only good for specific day?
silver2005 replied to jensenracing77's topic in Kings Island
I got the same issue with having to wait until the day before I go to BGW later in July, going with the better weather day if rain is a factor. -
Possible coasters that could be gone in 5-10 years for parks
silver2005 replied to dropdasher's topic in Rumors
Other than the possibility of parts being scarce due to it being a rare model, I don't see how all these Invertigo removal rumors have any traction. Lack of capacity on its own isn't enough for me to see it going. -
I feel like I have to bust this out for this thread. This is a whole other level.
-
Joined a live chat on YouTube with Eddytainment, and he's pretty confident Grizzly will be open by Memorial Day. There's apparently trains on the track and much reprofiling by GG. It's also a smidge taller and steeper on the first drop.
-
Bringing this back to the forum.
-
^One that's open more than 2 days a year.

I know this would have been unlikely, but I wish that history would have been kinder to Coney and that this area would have a small park similar to, say, a Knoebels, or a Waldameer, etc where Coney had like one centerpiece classic wood coaster and a bunch of classic flat rides and the like, obviously nothing at Kings Island's level, but a small alternative to KI. I really wish the Cincinnati area had a small park like that.
