I keep wondering if Vortex’s replacement should embrace new IP or pay homage to its predecessor and I always go with the latter. Top Thrill Dragster/Top Thrill 2 up to the north utilized an IP that has become synonymous to guests of Cedar Point; I argue Vortex is the same for KI. Vortex was the tallest coaster in the park for 13 years and it was impossible to miss on the skyline. It was the first big looping coaster for a lot of guests. Despite its roughness as it aged and a lot of smoother coasters to come after it, I think people miss the IP. If it could be resurrected, a lot of people would be happy.

That’s a major elevation change between being above the park gate to Rivertown station. Disney World’s 4-4-0 Baldwin struggles up a 2% grade.

Sure just acquire two more locomotives and passenger cars as well as a few more miles of track

I personally think the support structure looks ugly as heck and wouldn’t want one unless it’s enclosed. The Vekoma we’re getting looks a lot nicer And before anyone says anything, it would be too long to fit in the Crypt building….I checked.

In theory You could fit one next to Diamondback’s transfer track:

I get and don’t get their sales pitch. I get that they want to let potential customers know that their ride is compact to the footprint to that of a Wild Mouse. What I don’t get is: do they expect parks to demo their wild mouses in favor or their Wild Moose?

They missed the rebrand boat for Action Zone when they built Banshee. They could’ve called Invertigo “Screamin Demon” when it was repainted and possibly repainted Drop Tower new colors in 2012 and 2013 respectively. This would have chipped away at some Paramount identity each season while building up to Banshee and The Bat.

I wonder if they’ll operate the new Camp Snoopy coaster for the winter

I think it’s the colors of RMC’s logo

My time stamp says 3:26PM. Not sure the exact time you posted yours.

From their social media page:

At this point they should just give us a clone of Twisted Timbers and call it Son of Beast so people can finally put it to rest.

Disney does a really cool thing with holiday overlays for some of their attractions. Could our park benefit from this practice? I’m looking at coasters that already feature heavy theming like Adventure Express, Backlot Stunt Coaster, and Mystic Timbers for the fall time.

Right around when the 2023 regular season is about to come to a close? Wouldn’t it have made more sense to share this at the beginning of the season to hype people up?

Weird that they’re posting something about that now. It’s a shame because it looks great and would’ve been an awesome teaser for Adventure Express’ updated theming. It seems like a missed opportunity. Now everyone’s on Instagram saying sOb 2.0 Is CoMiNg.

What’s the context of this AE post? https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cv-eUVzARso/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I’m no expert but if KI wanted any shot at retaking the World’s Best Kid’s Area from Dollywood, they’d need to overhaul the entire section- not just the back corner of it.

Here’s my take on Camp Snoopy’s 24 hour notice. How much money is spent on the concept rendering that is shown via social media posts? The reason I ask is because stuff like that takes time, resources, and effort. If I was working on a project like that, I’d at least want the park to hype it up a little bit more.
