KI's was down for a few hours in the afternoon today, but reopened in the late evening. It didn't seem excessively windy, but I know it is different when you get 300' in the air.

Today while in line for Vortex: "Does this one go upside-down?" Seriously, just look to your right.

This kind of got skipped over because it was posted right before the blueprints were, but these were handed out at the park today when you went through the parking gate. I have one sitting on the floor right beside me And between this and the piles of rocks/iron fence that popped up today, it points to a graveyard, in my opinion.

It seems as if there has been an increase in thefts in Soak City recently. I wonder if the culprits are the same in a few of these reported cases...

Sound: Dragster's launch Smell: Adventure Express' tunnels

It looks like a B&M based on footers and other various reasons discussed here, and it seems that the general consensus is for an invert. People believe that this will be a large attraction. The blue steel you mentioned doesn't have a destination that we know of just yet, so KI is an absolute possibility for that. Other than that, you have missed pictures, teasers, debates, arguments, jokes, a poor decision or two, several bowls of popcorn, Snickers bars, some interpreting, a lot of grammar issues, and many other small discussions. Welcome aboard the crazy train!

A roller coaster is unlike anything else I can think of. And Drop Tower is 315' tall, so rather large compared to the ones at fairs. Good luck!

Welcome aboard the crazy train.

Kitty park? All in fun of course. Glad you enjoyed your trip and welcome to KIC!

I was there that day as well! My mini trip report: Mean Streak - trims = Good Millennium Force + rain = Painful Winning tweetups = Fun Fast Lane = Good idea Pink's = Delicious CP Dodgems > KI Dodgems Taking someone to a new park for the first time is fun for both of us. Girlfriend's top 5: Maverick, MF, Gatekeeper, Magnum, TTD/Mean Streak

I would love to have another restraint system other than OTSRs. I agree with Stud that Gatekeeper's would be perfect. I don't find them uncomfortable at all.

Yesterday I was lucky enough to experience a trimless ride on Mean Streak! It was smooth and, somewhat surprisingly, fun!

The coin I won at Cedar Point yesterday is pretty cool. I'm 2/2 on tweetups this year!

Sounds like an off-season construction tour to me! Did anybody on here go to the one for Gatekeeper and PointBuzz? How was that?

These sound promising, especially Delta Delta Die! I can't wait!

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming! Oh, the irony

How depressing. I reached post #800 last night and now I am back in the #790's

It certainly would be that person's fault. Entirely, though? I think not. Many of us share blame for the attitude that may have contributed to today's unfortunate event. Luckily, we all can help fix it. Perhaps we need to cool down the hysteria a bit. We certainly don't want to contribute to someone's bad decision because we're worked up about some new construction activity. More explicitly, we need to communicate respect for the law and park rules at all times. In this specific example, if a member is suggesting that someone visit the park to take pictures of construction, we need to be explicitly clear that we're not suggesting any trespassing or rule violation. As recent events have reminded us all, safety is the priority in this industry. If "enthusiasts" are compromising that in any way, parks would be smart to have nothing at all to do with them. How is it anyone's fault other than their own? Sure, we are all excited, but I don't understand how anybody on here did anything to encourage illegal activity. Respect for the law and the park shouldn't have to be communicated. It should be common sense. And if somebody doesn't have that common sense, then it is nobody's fault but theirs.

I was there when this statement was made, and from what I understood, Ouimet was saying that he had given Rob Decker another project, not B&M. People just assume that because there was a B&M rep there that Ouimet meant there was another B&M coming to Cedar Fair. I believe he was speaking of Mr. Decker though. Edit: 14:50 in the above video.

I will be up there on the 27th as well! Hopefully the weather isn't too bad, because I'm taking my girlfriend up and she has never been to CP before!

A wing-over on a wooden coaster would be absolutely phenomenal.

Stud, I wouldn't exactly consider making elementary-aged kids cool, but whatever floats your boat. (or sinks it)
