I’ve beaten this horse before but gut Boo Blasters and build something like Darkoaster inside. Give it Phantom Theatre theming and call it something like Maestro‘s Revenge. That’s an additional indoor coaster for winter fest, bad weather and potentially year round operations:

Diamondback received addition footers / reinforcement during its lifetime:

Possibly staging for paint?

I couldn’t make out if they were painted white or not.

Saw a crack on Diamondback I did not want to see. Thankfully the person corrected it quickly once they got off the train.

Just Bottled Water. Very warm tho, maybe next time there will be a cooler.

A Camp Snoopy retheme would bring a much welcomed addition of trees.

Yes and amble locker storage.. Could’ve had better privacy tho.

Just left the water park and now in the VIP changing lounge.

Not that Wikipedia is the most reliable of information although, interesting nonetheless: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incidents_at_Cedar_Fair_parks

They welded steel plates onto the affected support: https://twitter.com/TP_Predictions/status/1676241221562384385

Haven’t been to the park in awhile. Any idea when Sol Spin will reopen? https://www.visitkingsisland.com/attractions-advisory

Either way anytime someone sees B&M support or track, they’re immediately gonna be looking for cracks.

Someone pointed out what potentially was a crack on GateKeeper. CP was a lot quicker to jump on this one. Something tells me that the crack on Fury325 was there a lot longer than one day. This is also damaging to B&M’s reputation. Now anytime someone sees similar track and supports there gonna be looking for cracks.

2nd main theme calmer is FIRE.

Well you would think so but that’s not always true. If ridership doesn’t return maybe they’ll move Fury325 elsewhere. I know of a park within CF that has 773 acres of land and is only using a little less than half of it, that could accommodate it.

The contract Cedar Fair has with Peanuts runs till 2025. With an optional 5 year extension at the discretion of Cedar Fair.

Trade Orion to Carowinds for Fury325 with the broken support. It’s a win for Carowinds since Orion has all of its supports.

What will likely happen is there will be a chain wide email featuring a training video.

Well it looks like Zamperla has more work to look forward to.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was true, the maintenance department is probably short staffed because either A: they can’t find workers or B: to save money. I can almost guarantee a-lot of the daily maintenance inspections are just check boxes. Something that can easily be pencil whipped. It would be hard to not become complacent as it becomes difficult to thoroughly inspect things when you’re given work normally done by two people day in day out. I have theorized that this was ultimately why TTD’s accident happened. The signs of an issue for the bolts on the bracket for TTD were probably present. But who knows if the bolts for the bracket was actually inspected or if the little white box has a check mark pencil whipped on it. Which would be the reason why ODA found there was "insufficient evidence to find the action or inactions of Cedar Point violated any of the laws".

Yup and they do get creative or simply just identify the coaster as they see fit. Example: RMC toppler track being considered wood. 300ft drop coasters now being categorized as giga coasters. Im not wanting to beat the dead horse tho so back on the topic about TTD. I don’t know why anyone is upset with Zamperla. If there is anything to be upset about it’s the putt putt course CP just added. That’s the real tragedy.

Generates exposure which in turn draws people to the park. World breaking coasters is what CP is known for. They do lose records but with the next big coaster addition they end up just smashing a bunch more.

But it did break a world record.

If TTD gets a spike it will inherently take worlds fastest multi launch coaster from Pantheon. It will also be the worlds tallest multi launch coaster. CP has to have record breakers in order to be a destination park. Those hotel rooms won’t fill themselves.
