  1. I would support that!
  2. Yes, please utilize this if you feel something needs to be done.
  3. Thank you! At least someone agrees with me!
  4. Good question. Although, I have a feeling they'd just say you can't ride.
  5. PTCs on all 3 woodies.
  6. Buy your tickets online, join a coaster club that has discounts to the park, get the little coupons at area restaurants that have $ off for general admission, etc. to get the cheapest tickets. July has been known to be a busy month at the park. Advice for Drop Tower. Ride it. Is it good to get prepared for the Slingshot and Xtreme Skyflyer? Depends on the person. Watch a video on Youtube featuring a Firehawk POV. That'll give you a better idea than someone explaining the layout. Xtreme Skyflyer, at least one person has to pull the cord. Also, people may stop answering your questions on here, if you start overloading the forums with them. You can ask questions, but keep the ones you can research on your own off of the forums. Google can be great at finding answers to your questions.
  7. Behemoth is a sort of Parking Lot Coaster...I say it's good!
  8. See Cedar Point and Carowinds, old buildings gone, new placed around to accommodate coaster track overhead and walkways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Can April 15th be here please?

  10. Can April 15th be here please?

  11. Absolutely. That's part of the reason I refuse to do VR. Yes I like my phone as much as the next guy...but when I pay $ to experience a park, I want to experience the park/rides and environment....I don't want to experience a screen that I can most likely watch something very similar on my phone when I'm at home.
  12. As long as you registered by the deadline, you should be good. You can always contact the park for further verification.
  13. We may only have 15 days, but the year after the coaster is installed, the State doesn't need as rigorous testing as they do for the opening season. Likely, the 3rd train will be put through a few hundred cycles before it's ready to go. The 3rd train not on track at this point has nothing to do with "stacking issues due to those seatbelts." I feel like a lot of folks are forgetting that the park has a good amount of coaster trains to break down, repair and rebuild. Be patient, the 3rd train will be there soon. Again, stacking is not cared about with the General Public. Coaster Enthusiasts are usually the only ones who whine about it.
  14. I've seen a post from Coaster Force on Facebook stating that the VR Headset is not optional. If you want to ride the coaster, you have to have the VR headset. Source: https://www.facebook.com/CoasterForce/photos/pcb.10153434956228639/10153434956043639/?type=3&theater
  15. Interesting... I honestly would be okay if the Hotel was sold....I think it'd be nice if it were to remain a hotel whether or not it does. I'm glad that both plans aim to keep Blue Streak. I didn't happen to catch if both plans spoke about keeping other attractions or not...I could only locate the Park's plan.
  16. That track is more than likely heading to China.
  17. Should be there. I don't think there is a meet up thread yet...but probably will be up soon.
  18. I get you... Now I do have a question....when did they start pressing for their $? Has it been in the past few years only or has it been since they haven't been receiving anything?
  19. I was saying that there wouldn't be a public path from Slaughterhouse, through the hammerhead by Diamondback to then connect with the area by WWC's new queue.
  20. Diamondback has simple looking trains, but is one of the complicated ones to rebuild. It'll be there.....there are still 2 weeks until it's needed to be there for opening weekend. It doesn't take all that long for a train to be commissioned for use once past it's opening season. I highly doubt that they will use the 3rd train as a rehab during the season. Diamondback is a people eater and utilizes all 3 trains well, no matter how many enthusiasts claim it stacks, ruins capacity, etc. The general public doesn't see that or care that it "stacks" and often hasn't. It really depends on the crew each day. The numbers for RPH are generally higher than many think. I highly doubt there will be a path from Slaughterhouse to Diamondback's Hammerhead turn to the midway by the train. Directly under the hammerhead there is a drop off....it's not as flat as some may assume. I'll never forget during training my supervisors took us out there and told us to make sure we didn't get too far out from under the track, especially at night be cause the land becomes incredibly steep. When I got to the point where I was close enough to be safe, sure enough, it was steep. We've also got to look at the area from the hammerhead to the train area. It's definitely not flat and is used for access roads. There are several lock out areas around there for low zones. Unless they would smooth out that land, place bigger fences to prevent folks from getting close to the lockout areas, it's not viable.
  21. Don't forget the front plaza has been updated and improved recently. Remember those beautiful metal detectors? The plaza has also been refreshed in the recent years, including the walk up to it. The entrance building needs a refresh though. It needs to not be covered in shingles and if it needs to be, they need to be updated to not look like something that belongs in the woods. There is away they could put the giga near the entrance without removing the entrance building, but it's highly unlikely that it'll happen.
  22. This may be bad of me...but if Conneaut is shuttered for good over all of this.....I kind of want to see the area to fail. I don't want the residents to fail, but the public works....the creditors, etc.
  23. Duh...that's the park's new family attraction, The Biggest Sand Box in the Tri-State!
  24. Couldn't figure out where to put this so I figured here would work since it's Rivertown and it's a stand Looking at the webcams.....made me realize something.....there is a building next to Diamondback's maintenance shed, that seems to only have it's lights on when the park isn't open. Have you ever seen this building open? Do they sell something from it? If so, what? I've seen it used maybe once in the past few years and they sold souvenir bottles. As of recently I'm not so sure!
