The Amusement Park World without Kings Island
Ride On_17 replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Kings Island
I'd still have my Cedar Point. -
I thought the supports would be blue since those are for supports for the transfer track. We have yet to see a piece of track at CSF.

U mad bro?

Exactly 8 days, 2 hours, 36 minutes, and 7 seconds until we finally know what 2014 will bring us. I can't wait!

jcgoble3 has some good points, so if this would be done if would have to be carried out differently. I could see something where members vote to determine the award/ribbon winner. There could be categories like post of the day, best thread, etc. Several members would be included in the poll, and it would be up to the KIC community to determine who deserves the award. That way trolls wouldn't get any votes, and someone truly derserving would be the one to be awarded.

Sound: Either the deep VROOM of Dragster's launch, or any older B&M's roar, like Raptor. As for smell, I've never actually paid any attention to this before. I can picture it now, my next visit to an amusement park I'll be sticking my nose to every seat, restraint, and train. I shudder with the thought of what my nose could be touching if I did that.

Save the Date - New World Record Breaking Attraction

So the announcement is at night...Which completely makes sense given the "may or may not be announced on a day this summer" teaser. (not sure the exact wording, just referring to Don's message.) As some people had guessed, it won't be announced a day this summer, but a night. I just can't wait to finally find out what this monster is going to turn out to be. -
I thought that was my Uncle Bob...Oh wait... I really don't have a drunken Uncle Bob. Just thought I'd clarify

Aye Aye Aye!

Death at Six Flags over Texas

IMO water rides are fine with seat belts, but as soon as you start having locking lap bars and restraints, I think that's a big no-no. And yes, I did just say no-no. -
I love many B&Ms since they're smooth, fun, re-ridable, and reliable. However, I have been on B&Ms that I hate (cough cough Mantis) while I have yet to ride an Intamin that I come close to disliking. They both have pros and cons, but I'd have to go with Intamin.

I bet there will be more discussion about this topic here than on PointBuzz, which is pretty sad. I personally hope it's a dark ride (and I've heard rumors that the park will get one either next year or in 2015.) I don't think next year will bring anything more major than a dark ride since there really haven't been any clues. It's almost August and we pretty much know nothing about what's coming. Sort of sounds like Kings Island...except at least we know what type of addition it's going to be--a coaster.

I do enjoy their off season tours...

And it will be a giga. Which means it will be a 2nd Gen Diamondback.

Now there are a few more

Everyone take a deep breath. There are far more important things to worry about than announcements and track. Let's all just relax and wait until something happens.

From Cedar Point's website: Rides will close due to weather conditions, particularly rain, high winds and/or lightning. A specific answer as to which rides close or remain open is not possible because varying degrees of inclement weather cause different effects on different rides. Those rides affected the most are the roller coasters and the high rides. Cedar Point makes every effort to reopen the rides as quickly and safely as possible after the adverse weather conditions cease. Sorry, no rainchecks or refunds. Generally, the following weather conditions will affect the listed rides and attractions: HIGH WINDS - These rides MAY close depending on wind speed and direction: Gemini, Giant Wheel, Magnum XL-200, Mantis, maXair, Mean Streak, Millennium Force, Power Tower, Raptor, RipCord, Sky Ride, Skyhawk, Skyscraper, Snoopy Bounce, Top Thrill Dragster , WindSeeker and Zoom Flume. ANY PRECIPITATION - These rides WILL CLOSE: 4 x 4's, Challenge Raceway, Giant Wheel, Raptor, Top Thrill Dragster and Woodstock Express. STEADY RAIN - All rides listed under ANY PRECIPITATION and the rides listed below will close: Calypso, Corkscrew, Gemini, Iron Dragon, Magnum XL-200, Mantis, Matterhorn, Maverick, Mean Streak, Millennium Force, SkyScraper and Snoopy Bounce. HEAVY RAIN - All rides listed under ANY PRECIPITATION or STEADY RAIN and the rides listed below will close: Blue Streak, Junior Gemini, maXair, Mine Ride, Monster, Ocean Motion, Power Tower, Sky Ride, Skyhawk, Snake River Falls and Wicked Twister. And by the way, what day are you planning on going to the park next week? I just pulled up the 10 day forecast for Sandusky and it actually looks like a pretty nice week. Next Tuesday and Wednesday only have a 30% chance of rain, so if a storm does pop up, don't expect it to last very long. That's the way things are at the Point. All of a sudden a storm rolls in but it's gone within a 1/2 hour. So right now things actually look pretty good for you, so have fun on your trip and don't let a short shower or storm ruin your trip! EDIT: It wasn't mentioned on CP's website, but Gatekeeper could also be a ride that closes depending on wind speed/direction. And I believe it runs in rain (not sure how heavy) but with only 1 train.

Who needs the Feel Good Thread when you can read this one instead? Seriously, I don't remember the last time I've laughed so much.

Still on that long bumpy road?

Can we all just get along? This person likes this, that person likes that. I like something else. Everyone has their own opinions, so let's just respect them all and get back to decoding.
