  1. Jokers Jinx does not even have a trim where FoF does, and it runs perfectly fine that way. Would you be angry if Diamondback's MCBR were used at full force so you got zero airtime for the second half of the ride? Would you consider that unnecessary, considering that it runs fine as-is? All of that money comes from the same pot... are you really more likely to buy food because it's advertised on a shiny new LCD TV?
  2. I just hope it doesn't look at tacky during the day. The extension cords at CP looked horrid...
  3. No, I'm saying that CF could EASILY save money in different ways- for example, what purpose do the LCD TVs in Jukebox Diner serve? They cost more than a normal menu board. Why did we need a new Test Your Strength game when there already was one? That cost money.
  4. You can step on the actual track while boarding and exiting... I guess it's the part underneath that fits?
  5. Cedar Fair LOVES useless trims. There is very little reason for the trims on Diamondback, Son of Beast, Vortex, The Beast, The Racer, Fairly Odd Coaster, and Flight of Fear. Nearly all of them can run without them (possibly with the exception of The Beast). In fact, many of them have run without trims.
  6. They don't even fit the track!
  7. I would love to see that. As long as it's not the Gemini/Blue Streak film that they have at Chuck E Cheese.
  8. Hey, even at Cedar Point a blue streak has lit up the sky.
  9. I wonder about the safety of having Gerstlauer trains on the track. Those trains were not designed to sustain those speeds and levels of roughness.
  10. Son of Beast. It looks amazing. Tragically, it doesn't provide an amazing ride... well, amazingly rough...
  11. I don't think a Rotor would work well these days- it would take much more force to keep, ahem, some guests... stuck to the wall.
  12. WIN! WIN! Techincally, Racer was not designed with trims... hmm!
  13. The trains look ridiculious on that track.
  14. Go to the "Options" dropdown above the first post in a thread, in the same bar as the title. Then click the Go To: Outline button.
  15. Coundown until Terpy or someone else brings up the PTC issue...
  16. Maybe they can use that "DO NOT PET OR FEED ANIMALS" sign that's on the railroad "scenery"?
  17. There's a difference between the slowly slowing down and seeing the entire train lean forward because the trims grab so hard. Simply spreading the shed trims out would help. Even non-enthusiasts notice it.
  18. Would you EVER actually consider BLSC to be in Rivertown?!
  19. "PKI announced Phantom Theater would cease operation Sunday, July 14th, 2002. " -Dafe.Org Oh, really? "When DAFE first posted the rumor that Phantom Theater would be removed and be replaced by a Sally, Corp. interactive Scooby-Doo darkride over a year before, we didn't expect it to be removed from operation mid-season with virtually no notice. That is exactly what occurred. DAFE got a heads-up about it mere days before it closed. At that time PKI officially confirmed that the rumor was true, they would re-theme Phantom as Scooby-Doo and the Haunted Castle for 2003."
  20. What month did they let people know about... ...King Cobra? ...Kings Dominion's Flight of Fear? ...Phantom Theater?

  22. OH ROTOR YES I rode Finnish Fling at Worlds of Fun. It was, well, worlds of fun.
  23. Don't Stop The Music, anyone?
  24. I really wish they'd do a one-day event where they untrimmed it. Just so enthusiasts could ride it ONCE with no trims. It'd be so crowded... The track work really helped.
  25. I'll miss Scooby more than Nick.
