Cedar Point TO REOPEN MONDAY JUNE 9
Did the moose out front tell them? Hopefully CP gets this fixed ASAP. I feel sorry for the ones who have to deal with the angry phone calls, e-mails, and Facebook posts.

May 15, 2014: Holiday World Free Day PTR (with presumed 2015 clues)
For the record, "she" is Leah Koch, not Paula (whom "she" would usually refer to on the Holiblog). I'm thinking a steel coaster. They already seem to have a good variety of wooden coasters in my opinion; they can't really go much bigger besides going with INTAMIN or RMC. The latter would probably work best for wooden coasters since they're doing new things, although I think a steel coaster would be much more marketable for HW.

Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom
I still don't understand why they "had" to remove Rolling Thunder. Was it because of declining ridership?
-
Shoot The Rapids boat flips over with riders
He loved INTAMINs a little too much. I won't go any further than that. Speaking of INTAMINs, why do we capitalize it like that? Does INTAMIN wish for us to do so? Is it because INTAMIN is a registered trademark? (Don't answer yes please )
-
Action Zone and X-Base join?
Just longer, with hills and turns, maybe some inversions. Kingda Ka has 2 hills, and I guess 2 U-turns.
-
Your First Upside Down Coaster?
Vortex has only a 48" requirement. Thanks, but I'm positive I rode Son of Beast before Vortex. My parents haven't liked Vortex for quite a few years. Remind me to force them into 5-1 next time.
-
Your First Upside Down Coaster?
Probably Son of Beast in 2004. I don't know of any other inverting coasters that have/had a 48-inch height requirement. Prior to this, the only other amusement center I had been to was WDW.
-
Drop Tower? (update: now open!)
So either it's close to opening or they're having issues. Unless one or the other (or something else) has been confirmed already.

Original International Street
You really love talking about Great Advencha, Terp. Remind me to get over there sometime.
-
Kings Dominion new coaster
That's unlikely, as CF has contracted GCI for all of their recent wooden coasters. Then again, there was a time when every new coaster installation at CP was an Intamin... Well...
-
Drop Tower? (update: now open!)
A cliffhanger? How fitting.

Drop Tower? (update: now open!)
I'm not paying that much for Chicken Shack 1!

Giant noodle at the park this weekend
Not for KI!

What Tasty Treat Are YOU Ready To Eat on Your First Visit Back To KI 2014?
Craving nachos, to be honest. But since I can get those anywhere, probably Banshee Twist ice cream and something from Hank's since I haven't tried it yet. Maybe HOF too, haven't been there. Or maybe Chicken Shack, since... Well, you see der point.

Vortex being removed?
Have you tried riding in car 5, row 1?
-
Drop Tower? (update: now open!)
Maybe CF is starting a chain-wide Intamin removal policy? I kid, I kid.

Should I buy a pass?
Night ERT on Banshee and The Bat on May 9th? A Friday? Could we at least have another dat... Actually, never mind. That would be asking too much for the ride ops. Guess I need to get on that soon if I want to do that, and head down there right after school!
-
Next New Ride?
No need to call my idea stupid, that is against Terms of Service paragraph 5 beginning with the word respect. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/4128-terms-of-service/#entry60232. You have been warned! Not sure that covers ideas... but it could. It would be completely different if he called you stupid instead. But yeah, we don't need that metal box. Please remove it.
-
Should I buy a pass?
2.5 hours to KI, about 5 to CP. 5 hours to MA as well. Probably could get a Platinum pass, since all these parks are relatively close to me.

Holiday World 2014 Park Map
For the record, CP has not (to my knowledge) released their 2014 map yet. Giraffica being removed could indicate the removal of STR. Or STR could end up SBNO for the next 3 seasons. We don't know. If I were CP, I would probably just cut my losses at this point.
-
FUNTV First Impressions?
Oh, also wanted to know if FoF has FUNTV. I hope not, I love that pre-show. I mean, I guess they could have it in the outside queue...
-
Should I buy a pass?
I think Gold pays for itself after 3 visits actually, but I still get the point. Thanks! Probably should have specified that I want a Gold pass. Oops.
-
FUNTV First Impressions?
So, would you all say it's better than Chilivision? Chilivision was pretty much a bunch of advertisements from what I remember. Also, just some random thing I'm wondering about: are they using the same footings from Chilivision? If not, are the new ones in the same places?
-
Vortex being removed?
I'm gonna stop you right there. This is not a reliable source. Also, it is not "the Diamondback", it is "Diamondback", with no "the". No offense, just trying to help you out. Vortex is not being removed unless there is something we don't know, and it is not sinking. Just want to clear that up for everyone. Also, if they decided to remove it, wouldn't they have already done it, or started work on demolishing it?
