  1. I was there for Media Day too. In fact, I took a personal day at work to come to Media Day!
  2. I could see Kings Island putting a ride like this in the near future. I could also see the park getting a traditional ferris wheel. With the Coronavirus messing up things, I could see a new roller coaster come in 2023. If not for the coronavirus, I was saying 2022. My gut tells me they don't want to let the former Vortex land sit vacant too long.
  3. Since I'm 35 years of age now, does the Planet Snoopy area count? It was Hanna-Barbara land back when I was 5 years old. I don't remember the rides too much, but my parents probably have vintage photos of me riding those rides.
  4. So where does Orion rank as far as just North America? I'm talking tallest in North America too.
  5. Would this coaster be the first gravity group roller coaster in the Cedar Fair chain?
  6. The last time I went to Disney World(2012), I spent a lot of time in the Hollywood studios area. I'm sure a lot has changed since I went there last. One thing I hope doesn't leave is the Rock-n-rollercoaster featuring Aerosmith. Does anyone know how much longer the licensing on that will run till? If they change it, I wonder what they would theme it too? I would theme it to another band since they have the guitar set up on the building. Maybe they could honor queen for example.
  7. Great! No fun for us this year. Thanks a lot Mike Dewine!(Sarcasm)
  8. So with everyone assuming the park won't open this year, does that mean my opinion doesn't matter? I don't want to sound like an idiot for thinking the park will open sometime this year, but everyone on here says it won't open.
  9. I hear you dude. I pray for good news everyday.
  10. ^ No you're not being nostalgic. I feel the same way about re-creating a modern version of Vortex as a B&M Floorless. How would you feel about the new vest restraints If they did re-create the layout as a Floorless? I would be all for it. Yeah Kings Island already has two launched roller coasters in the park. They could never put another launch roller coaster in there in the next 10 years, and people would still be happy with Kings Island line-up. I'm sure Kings Island will get a Dive, but yeah I agree about putting it where Vortex was. It would just seem out of place there.
  11. #1. I'm looking forward to riding The Beast! 2. Riding Orion and seeing how much of a punch it packs. From the video, it looks like it has a lot of speed and airtime. 3. Seeing how the park looks without Vortex in the skyline. That will be a huge change of scenery for me. No pun intended there.
  12. That looks sick! And I mean that as in wicked fun! Cedar Fair could always try something like an Intamin pre-fabricated ride at Michigan's Adventure and see how well it does there. I've heard Wolverine there isn't that good. Maybe they could replace it with an Intamin pre-fabricated woody. Just a thought.
  13. ^ That swan was interacting with you. You should make a funny face with it next time.
  14. ^ Yeah they forgot to throw in there. Gee, what can we shut down today? They seem to enjoy shutting things down.
  15. So Is there still a chance employees could start being trained in mid-May and open in June?
  16. COVID-19 can shut everything down, but not spring!
  17. I hope they replant trees in new areas.
  18. I guess we're not supposed to have fun this year.
  19. I wonder If Kings Island and Cedar Point will just wait until mid May like they were originally to see if anything changes before they decide to make a move similar to Knotts berry farm.
  20. ^ Well that is a wild ride, but yeah since they just spent probably $30 million on Orion, I doubt they'll spend that much on something like that. But that ride packs a lot of punch! I love how much intensity it packs throughout the ride. Reminds me of Maverick. I also love how you picked Green!
  21. ^ I know right. They seem to be good at shutting everything down. Different topic though. The last time I dreamed about the blimp, it flew over Cedar Point.
  22. @SonofBaconator you're cool. My ideal roller coaster to take the spot of Vortex would be a Floorless. I don't know if you read my comment on another topic or not, but I mentioned how cool it would be to have a floorless similar to Dominator at Kings Dominion. It's in the topic, could KI get a Floorless topic.
