I don't see how it could valley there. It's still going very fast, so fast that many don't even know there is an inversion there.
-
The swings rely on centripital force to swing outwards away from the tower. Because they were stopped on the tower, there is no outward force exerted on the swings, therefore they were dangling vertically.

Age does not constitute maturity. Some adults act worse than the eleven year olds you mentioned (ranging from smoking on rides to picking fights)

See King Cobra, The Bat, the monorail, among numerous and numerous others. Those footings remain to this day.

New Cedar Fair Trademark

For all we know, this could be the next Stratosoar. -
Can't wait to use my free Skyflyer and Slingshot rides this Sunday, as well as the front of the line pass tomorrow. All I have to say is a thank you to Kings Island. The program was great for it being a prototype, hope to see some other ideas expanded upon next year.

Who says ticket and season pass processing construction gives the kennel a free ride? To reference the example you are so fond using, when the GR offices were remodeled, what happened to the rest of the merchandise shops in the building? Nothing.
-
But couldn't it be argued, that the kennel still serves its purpose with the materials it has now? "Why fix what isn't broke" , to quote what you said in another thread.
-
According to you, the kennel is too outdated and should get a facelift because it is just over a decade old? I have news for you; Kings Island's front gate has looked the same since 1973. First impressions are everything, so why shouldn't the front gate get a much more attractive look? Dogs don't seem to care about aesthetics as much as humans, anyways.

What could potentially be in between you and the window? The criminal. If that is the case, I would rather throw a desk at the guy and then run, rather than pray he/she doesn't kill me while I'm helplessly sitting in a corner.
-
So it's alright if the pet care center gets remodeled, but not the front gate?
-
The threat is the same as always, as the metal detectors were rarely on.

May I remind everyone that if WindSeeker is fixed, the chances of being stuck for three hours is very slim. The chances of being on the gondola, as well, is even slimmer.
-
Many (some) people like Son of Beast. What happened there? Geauga Lake?
-
Good luck with passing under a terrain hugger.
-
I did some digging around the Mondial site and found that all WindSeekers were built just a few meters shy of the maximum tower height, but the gondola diameter was built to the largest extent possible. It is also German GUT approved. It says nowhere that they meet United States specifications*. Could these factors have any impact on the rides' performance (or lack thereof)? *Now, this one sounds like it is nowhere close to being correct. Shouldn't all rides constructed in the US be built to US code?

I know if I want a good view of the park, I go to the Eiffel Tower.

IRON MAN coming to Disneyland Park?
TheCrypt replied to bkroz's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Regardless of where the attractions are placed, you are still at a Disney park where non-Disney themes have been introduced. I think if Iron Man is to be integrated with Disneyland, it won't feel rushed or tacked on. Who knows, it could be a completely seperate area like Cars Land, which last I checker (oops I mean checked, didn't intrude upon the atmosphere of the rest of the park. In short, it is too early to determine whether we hate it with a burning passion or love it to death. It's still a rumor! -
IRON MAN coming to Disneyland Park?

I could point out Rock 'n Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (CBS/UPN in their respective reign), and Test Track by General Motors. But I won't. -
Geauga Lake 1982 promo video
TheCrypt replied to PhantomTheater's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Those were the days. Oh, do I miss that park so. -
Yuck. Someone clean the Royal Fountains! It's a light blue with dirt along the bottom. Looks less "Royal" and more "Revolting".

Kind of like how our German area doesn't play German music, how our action-centered area doesn't play action-y music, or how our western town plays no western music. Instead we get sad songs by Adele and songs about ex boyfriends by Taylor Swift.

If they were to have 10 stars, I believe it would be benificial to make it easier to level up. I spent a lot at the park, got my gold pass scanned literally every transaction, and only got 3/4 to level 4. All I would like to see is an improved and consistent conversion rate, so others wouldn't get screwed and we're all happy.
