^Woops, I'll edit that out. I considered maybe scratching that off the list but with the few suspended coasters out there these days, I can't pass it up. By the way, I'll do everything in my power to be there early. Last year one day my dad and I arrived at 8 O' Clock for Cedar Point! And Terpy, I'm sure I'll love it. Dave: My mom is not a rider, however, we were planning on buying the flash pass online. I guess it would still be the same plan, but instead of paying for it with money, I'd assume she'd have a certificate.

Alrighty. As part of spring break, my sister, mom and I will be going to SFMM Friday, April 2nd. I've never been there, and REALLY would like to make the most of my time. I'll be getting a Gold Flash Pass, which is good on any major ride besides X2 I believe (correct me if I'm wrong). Here's the list of rides I would like to ride: X2!!!!!!!!!!!! Tatsu Riddler's Revenge Superman The Escape (assuming it's open) Deja Vu Goliath Ninja Revolution Scream Terminator Salvation (never ridden a GCI, unfortunately) Viper Ninja Batman (for the sake of credits!) and to be honest I don't think I should have any problems getting those in with a GFP. Oh yeah! and... Mr. Six's Dancecoaster of course! just kidding.... So anyway, for planning: Looking at the map (Link Here) I should go to X2 first, you know, it being a popular ride, and the only one you can't use a flash pass on free of charge. Then I'd ride Revolution, then make my way clockwise around the outer ring of the park, hitting Viper, Deja Vu, Terminator, then going in to the center. There I would ride Superman, Tatsu, and Ninja. After that, I'd get back out to the outer ring, where I'd ride Riddler's, Batman, Scream, Goliath, and Colossus. I'd spend the remainder doing rerides of my favorites, or the remaining coasters. Does this sound like a good plan? Does this seem possible? Are there any good rides I left out? Restaurant recommendations (LA area too)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. When I get back I'll have an epic PTR! Thanks P.S. I've heard horrible things about reliability pertaining to Superman, X2 (though I've heard it's getting better), and of course Deja Vu. Any advice/ info?

Kindga Ka? RingRacer (if it ever opens of course)?

I personally don't think Flying Turns looks like a Best New Ride, but other people may think so.

Two days after the announcement and I'm still a bit numb. I'm tremendously disappointed, though I'm not sure how to feel. I now will not have a fun park to go to in Louisville with my cousins. It's great Holiday World is operating, and I'd be very happy if this closing could benefit HW.

^No.....WoA/ Geauga Lake are the same park....WoF is different.

Sorry, I'm color blind. What's the difference? P.S. YES I can see colors. I just get them mixed up.

SFoG: Goliath is epic! Make sure you ride it more than once! You may be disappointed with employees though, some I encountered were rude KD: Dominator is a ride that is painfully boring unless ridden in the front seat. I would much rather ride Vortex. However, If you sit in the front, it's a spectacular ride. Volcano is my favorite though. BGE: My favorite park. Alpengeist is the best invert I've ridden, Loch Ness is the smoothest and most fun Arrow Looper I've been on, and Griffon is just something that must be ridden to understand.

I can'twait to go to these parks in April!

Yep that's mine that I have for 2010. Except it says Kings Island.

I'm not afraid of heights, as long, of course, as there is a restraint keeping me in. I rode Top Thrill Dragster and Drop Tower when I was 8. I hopped on X-Scream (front seat I might add) and Big Shot. Insanity, I will admit, is the most fear I have ever felt before getting on a ride, maybe even in my whole life! Here's an awesome video of the Stratosphere Tower Rides: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eRhQTS41pE You have to realize that before you even get on these rides, you're already 900 feet up for Insanity and X-Scream, 1,000 for Big Shot! Looking at a 60 angle down at the ground 909 feet above is very terrorizing, yet once you're spinning, you can't hesitate to spread your arms.

I've never been there, but judging by how epic Williamsburg was, I'm sure you'll have a great time. As for rides, I can only tell you that you HAVE to ride SheiKra, because I loved Griffon. Montu also looks awesome, and so does Kumba. The theming in Virginia is abundant, so it will be great.

I'd LOVE a toy factory maze. Happy Jack's at CP was amazing! Not really scary, but still awesome! Hilarious too.

Cemetary Drive. No scares, at all.

Could it be a Theme park?

Looking at youre avatar, I just realized that the arch would make an amazing skycoaster .

No, they werent Then they weren't his. Problem solved.

Well, were they under the name Shagscooby?

I agree, those time...er elevator capsules are slightly unnerving. Glad you had fun.

Yeah, I figured I give him one.

In the US: SFGAdv SFGAm SFoG BGW Carowinds Depends on how you classify "many".

Exactly. While Cedar Point may be a park that offers great variety and many coasters, I'd rate Holiday World above it because, even though they only have three major coasters, all three appeal to families (not to metion Howler!), and they definitely appeal to the GP and coaster enthusiasts, and all three are spectacular, IMO. Same with Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Their coasters I would all rate very high.

These. Look. EPIC! It was pretty much guarenteed after they used Raven to test them, but seriously. I can't contain my enthusiasm right now. Wow. Go Holiday World. I can't wait to hear Giga's response! ^Meh, maybe it would actually make the mine train more exciting. That ride is horrible. And painful. And the only coaster I've ridden with more than two lifthills.

I'd say we're excellent. Honestly if you averaged the ratings of all the coasters at CP or KI, I think KI would win (or at least that's my opinion). I think Magic Mountain and Great Adventure look pretty epic though.

^As has been said numerous times, usually by Terpy, PTC does not recommend turning trains backwards...so I highly doubt they will.
