  1. In that case could it be shortened to run the Coney Mall midway?
  2. If we get anything out of this, I would like to see some of their flat rides find a second life here. Berserker, Centrifuge and Orbit look like fun rides that would fit in well here. I’m not sure if relocating the sky ride is an easy feat considering it was built for CGA and no other park.
  3. That was an error I just noticed, I got that one confused with Mad Mouse at Myrtle Beach Pavilion
  4. My thing is, I’d prefer a brand new one as opposed to a relocated one that has miles on it.
  5. I appreciate it! My main concern is that Psycho Mouse is an Arrow
  6. The way I see it Flight Deck to Valley Fair Railblazer to Worlds of Fun or Michigan’s Adventure (both parks could use a sit down looper but which gets which is a toss up) Patriot to Worlds of Fun or Michigan’s Adventure (same argument as stated above) Psycho Mouse to KI? We don’t have a wild mouse Gold Striker to Dorney? (If they can relocate it of course)
  7. There are 4 Cedar Fair parks that haven’t received a coaster since the late 2000’s that would be more suitable candidates than us for a potentially relocated single rail.
  8. Who knows, it might be something like an escape room in the Chaos building
  9. Like I said, don't read too much into it
  10. This is a stretch so do with it what you will but could 2022 be the start of a construction year? I know it sounds dumb to tease construction a year before ground is broken, that's why its a stretch. The only reason I say this is because lately, the park has had coaster related construction start two years after a coaster is built: Banshee debuted in 2014 then two years later on 2016 there was land clearing for Mystic Timbers, Mystic Timbers debuted in 2017 with land clearing for Orion beginning in 2019, Orion debuted in 2020 and this poster is referring to 2022 meaning something coaster wise would debut in 2023. Like I said don't read too much into this, the numbers just seem to match up to what's been happening the past few years. I'm personally not getting my hopes up for anything coaster related since our 50th is next year so I'd rather focus on that than a construction project.
  11. Getting back to the topic, I feel like any park in the chain's "big four" could receive one. I'd even throw in Kings Dominion. Ironically, Kings Island is the one park I would think would be the least likely of the five parks I just listed to get one. We're missing that traditional looper and I feel like spinners aren't for everyone. Kings Dominion needs a stand out coaster which an extreme spinner definitely is. Carowinds is always in talks of getting something big but with them getting Copperhead Strike it would be unlikely that they would get something else from Mack so soon. Canada's Wonderland needs more support coasters and more launched coasters so I feel like one would fit there well. Cedar Point is always adding new, exciting, coasters so a record breaking spinner would certainly turn heads but I don't think they would be ready for one any time soon. In my opinion: Kings Dominion Canada's Wonderland Cedar Point Kings Island Carowinds If Cedar Fair decided to get an extreme spinner I think it should go to Kings Dominion. It could be a first for the east coast and could give people more of a reason to go to the park after they've removed so many attractions.
  12. In my defense the C on my phone is right by the G!
  13. Which park do you think would get the chain's 1st Mack Extreme Spinner?
  14. Kumba- Light Green track with Dark Green supports
  15. I heard there was a smell issue
  16. Speaking of theming older rides, look what Fiesta Texas did to Poltergeist
  17. I like Orion for the speed and I like Diamondback for the floater so I can't say I like one over the other.
  18. Define "right." I feel like their biggest issue is staffing which is a catch-22. You don't have as many staff on Thursdays therefore you can't have as many rides open but if you don't have a lot of rides open you're not bringing in a lot of people
  19. If Haunt would be extended to Thursday nights, would you have the same operating line-up that you'd have on the weekend or would rides and haunts be limited?
  20. No I completely agree. I prefer originality over IPs, I'm merely arguing that IPs can give an unfair advantage.
  21. I mean Planet Snoopy won Best Kids section for nearly 20 years. I believe they're focusing back on Planet Snoopy in the coming years. Orion is a completely different story. Read @KIghostguy's book and you'll understand. I don't understand the dated part. The park spent a ton of money renovating International Street, the Eiffel Tower is being repainted, they restored the glockenspiel at the Festhaus, brought back an antique car ride, I could go on. We did have a global wide pandemic that affected spending across the chain. The lack of shade part I can understand but the rest seems a bit exaggerated considering everything we've gotten under Cedar Fair.
  22. For me its either Beast's second lift hill or Vortex's. I have a soft spot for low angle lift hills that take time and build anticipation. Anything from Cedar Point is great too just because of the views.
  23. I partially feel like there's a certain "weight" to that stuff. HHN is run by Universal, a movie company, so they have access to IP and certain cinematic elements at their disposal. Not that HHN isn't a good event, in fact I'm arguing the opposite... I feel like their event is guaranteed to be good. I mean look at this I don't know if their use of IPs gives them an unfair advantage or not.
