As I've said before Matt Ouimet was an upgrade to DK, but his main concern has been shareholders.

Whether X-Base is X-Panded or not, hopefully The Racer will get to stay. One thing I like about The Racer being in its current location is that conceals X-Base behind it. Which plays into the themeing of X-Base being a secret military test base that studies flight and propulsion.

Maybe Cedar Fair gets a discount with these back to back additions. You look at Cedar Fair's history with B&M you would see that there was a coaster addition or conversion within the chain just about every year since 2004. ( with the exception of 2007 & 2011 ) Silver Bullet - 2004 Hydra the Revenge - 2005 Patriot - 2006 ( no addition or conversion ) - 2007 Behemoth - 2008 Dominator ( ride relocation ) - 2008 Diamondback - 2009 Intimidator - 2010 ( no addition or conversion ) - 2011 Leviathan - 2012 Gatekeeper - 2013 Banshee - 2014 Rougarou ( conversion ) - 2015 Fury 325 - 2015 Valravn - 2016 Patriot ( conversion ) - 2017 One could only imagine what Cedar Fair's B&M customer awards card balance may look like.

The Racer doesn't need to be RMC'd there is without a question of it needing TLC tho.

apparently this is a position he held before in 2011. http://www.richmond.com/business/article_ffc4c791-f01f-5f8d-be82-d91e7bc1b6ce.html

Richard Zimmerman was promoted to president and chief operating officer or COO of Cedar Fair, Matt ouimet remains as the chief executive officer or CEO of Cedar Fair.

This moderator election is RIGGED!! With all jokes aside, congratulations Malem!

very much agreed, Ouimet was an upgrade to DK. But I feel like his main concern has been shareholders. Always having record breaking attendance and profits, which is great. But yet coasters and rides that require TLC, i.e. Racers / Beast need paint and stain. Diamondback seats needing cleaned or replaced, animitronics needing replaced or repaired on BLSC. Water affects no longer working on The Beast or BLSC. Lights needing replaced all over. Food concession operations needing major overhaul. There are probably much more to add to this list. Granted Cedar Fair is not Disney, and I do not expect Disney like themeing, but at the very least have some pride in the parks.

I don't know about anyone else but, Im more excited for the addition of Mystic Timbers than I was for Banshee.

KD fans need to quiet themselves, Michigan's Adventure has had one coaster addition since 1999. And that was in 2008 with the addition of Thunderhawk, which was previously located at Geauga lake before it closed.

My question is why did Hurler have to be closed for the entire season? Meanstreak is a much bigger coaster and yet remained operation till late in the regular season.. Cedar Fair has really thrown a wrench into the norm we are used to seeing.

Narrow gauge trains are typically are cheaper to build and operate and also do not require as wide turns as a standard gauge track.. In my personal opinion i believe it had to due with the sheer size of the rolling stock of standard gauge that kept Disney away from using standard gauge. With Disney using optical illusions (forced perspective) of things being bigger than they are. I would not be suprise if they choose narrow gauge to play into that illusion that objects were bigger than they appeared because of the smaller size narrow gauge track and trains.

Also one of the few John A. Miller coasters left. Sadly.

At this point I'd rather see either Boo blasters be converted to a tritotech dark ride or the entire Boo blaster building removed for more flats or a kiddie coaster. The park is horrendous when it comes to maintaining animatronics. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I know there are many, including myself would have liked to see a new life for the Big Dipper. I think Coney Island would have made a great home for the classic coaster. They could rename the Big Dipper, "Sky Rocket". which was the original name of the Big Dipper and the name of a coaster that was once graced the Coney Island skyline.

still up on the website, I'm assuming that means it's still a go. http://www.aceonline.org/events/

The 91 year old, ACE Coaster Classic, will be demolished within a few weeks according to a Bainbridge county trustee. http://fox8.com/2016/10/07/big-dipper-roller-coaster-to-be-demolished/

I don't care for the Sign, I'd much prefer the Classic one. But change can be good, hopefully with the little themeing touch ups details they do. They follow up with bigger projects on The Beast such as the track and supports being stained again and maybe the water effects returning to the chutes at the station.

What if there is a uncooperative rider who doesn't follow the group? Is he/she left behind? Do the storm troopers carry them away?

As mentioned before, a Gerstlauer sky roller called "Flight Commander" and restrooms would be a nice addition.

King Cobra to Coney Island.
