The 2015 Media Overreacting to Standard Park Procedures Thread
I don't understand why parks that have rules against on-ride photography don't contact YouTube, or any other video host, and ask that they be removed. As long as people have a forum for this misconduct, it will continue.

Bolliger & Mabillard: Innovative Crowd-Pleasers for the Masses or Intamin: Creating Today's Record Breakers and Thrill Machines
Not that I'll ever ride big droppy thing, but I can only imagine how unnerving it would be to be that high as a train goes over, and the structure sways a bit.

Bolliger & Mabillard: Innovative Crowd-Pleasers for the Masses or Intamin: Creating Today's Record Breakers and Thrill Machines
I believe the problem here is actually New Jersey's ride inspectors not wanting the train passing overhead while people are on Zumanjaro. I could be wrong, but I think that is what I heard. The rides themselves are capable of running simultaneously, they are just not allowed to. Anyone able to confirm this?

Kings Island Resort After it Closed
What is your experience like with said company? Would you call them "luxury"? Is it a company you'd be willing to post openly about? Curious NoChickens.

Which would you choose if you had one weekend?
MrsNoChickens says to do Great Adventure and Hershey Park.

Which would you choose if you had one weekend?
Wow, I don't know if I can answer that. KD, has Volcano,I-305, and the Crypt. NJFTP , Nitro, El Toro, and the best wild mouse coaster ever, The Dark Knight Coaster. Both of these parks required a return visit this year. I know it's not on your list of options, but I think I'd consider doing both of them instead.
-
Which would you choose if you had one weekend?
Having only been to 2 of the 4, and each on opposing lists, not sure I can help much. But I can say that KD and NJFTP are both on our "return to" list this year. I just hope your better at decisions than I am.

Remnants of past attractions
Thanks for reminding me why I don't like coming here much anymore. Like it or not, you do, and as such you're bound by the TOS. Is it really that hard to hit the shift key? I see you capitalized "I".

Next New Ride?
ok, SIX, and FUN, lol The point is valid though, an El Toro like coaster would be grand.

Coasterstock at Kings Island
Well.....I say, Coasterstock, you and the wife need to see me We do!! But I have a long tradition at the track. She has already said she's doing Coasterstock. And I must admit I'm, leaning that way.It's still not an easy decision, years of tradition down the drain, and a passion. Don't know if you've ever been, but Indy qualifying can be quite intense. Just entering that place makes chills run up my spine.

Next New Ride?
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. If it wasn't for Cedar Fairs relations with INTAMIN, and El Toro like coaster would round out the woodies.

Racer Future
The Racer is iconic, as others have mentioned. I really don't see it going anywhere anytime soon. Though I will say a coat of paint would make me feel better about its future. The worst thing I could see happening would be RMC treatment. Call me nostalgic, but, it's not the same coaster redone. I know some of the younger, and a few older, people here would argue that it would be a better ride. I disagree, the SIX treatment of old woodies is a travesty. History is an important part of our enthusiast community. Would the Coney Island Cyclone be the same with steel track? How about Jack Rabbit?

Machine Gun Theme Park Comes to Kissimmee
I shot a few machine guns, and it was well themed. Took me a few years to get through the attraction, it started in Ft. Sill OK., and ended at Ft. Ord CA. ;-)

Coasterstock at Kings Island
Facing one of the hardest decisions ever. That is also the weekend of qualifications for the Indy 500. I was really hoping 2 awesome events would not "bang heads". Hopeful that the park will adjust the schedule next year to save me this vexation. As for now I am still torn, first Coasterstock vs. first chance to see the new aerokits capabilities. Some are saying pole could be around 235 mph. I suck at decisions, and this is a tough one.
