  1. If this is the case, why are they running that train in the first place? Do they not inspect the wheels every morning like most parks?
  2. I'm not looking forward to explaining this system to guests. I start on Monday.
  3. Kings Dominion has the worst food of any Cedar Fair park I have been to. It's awful.
  4. You are being too nice. The England area looks horrific. Awful. Picture the worst English stereotypes from the worst Austin Powers movie and that is the theme of once was a great welcoming country.
  5. Ugh. The 2015 plans. http://bgwfans.com/2014/busch-gardens-williamsburgs-project-2015-revealed-part-2/
  6. Dorney Park is a breeding ground for Cedar Fair GM's. I must go there.
  7. No park should ever go down the stand up route ever again. Ever.
  8. Maverick also had cameras installed, but I don't think they ever got them working. Hopefully they work better than Verbolten's. I live next door to the supervisor of those videos and she says 90% of her day is spent on the phone with IT trying to get them to work. And this is now my favorite picture in the world. Thank you for sharing!
  9. For older discussion here is a similar topic from last year. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/27291-something-new-coming-not-in-sobs-area/?hl=+fountain%20+upgrade
  10. Follow up question: What is that? Just a fancy way of saying controls?
  11. So if this ride isn't reliable can we stop making so much fun of Intamin? At least from a reliability stand point (ejections and things like Maverick's roll are still fair game). Somewhat sarcastic!
  12. It will be for thrill seekers. That is pretty much all we know.
  13. The building to my left contains my office! Glad you enjoyed the park! EDIT: the quote didn't work.
  14. You would be correct. When Environmental Health and Safety higher ups talked at intern meeting they had nice, fancy graphs displaying Thursday as the most likely day to be injured at a theme park.
  15. Fun fact: Most of the injuries in theme parks happen on Thursdays.
  16. Cedar Point is crowded when 60k+ people are in the park. I can't imagine that many people in a newly developed park that doesn't offer as many things to do as Cedar Point does. It had to be insanity. I've said it once and I will say it again; times have changed since a very young Mr. Speigel was given a chance to manage the park. What's the average age of GM's in the industry now?
  17. Story is now on a popular sister site of Gawker and Deadspin. http://gizmodo.com/cable-snaps-on-6o-mph-amusement-park-ride-1611732268?utm_campaign=socialflow_gizmodo_facebook&utm_source=gizmodo_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
  18. Maverick; any seat. Raptor; very back on the right side. El Toro; any seat. Griffon; back row. Top Thrill Dragster; any seat. This concludes Zach's top 5.
  19. Three weeks until I can ride this thing. I'm so excited.
  20. Mack water coaster is my guess. I haven't followed along with this as much as some of you have.
