I rode Flying Ace once back when it was Runaway Reptar and I'll say it is also very close together on the seats. Defintiely made for kids. I could kick the seat in front of me if I just raised my legs a little bit.

I remember him. Yet another reason I'd agree with Terpy about the ride ops not talking. His enthusiasm is great, and fun when you're ont eh ride heading out. But listening to it for 10 minutes while waiting to get on gets old real quick.

I agree. The new theming/paint on it looks great. But all those details, while minor on their own really stand out now with the fresh paint and decor elsewhere and becames very noticeable.

While it might go upside down I don't think it counts as a coaster. Mine was Raptor at Cedar Point.

Mine would be Delerium but it's not on the list.

Well I understand with it not fitting the theme of the land anymore wanting to change it to being part of a different section, but it always got me too that they'd change when you have to clearly walk into there to get to it.

Haha was actually watching the episode as I read that. Would be awesome to have that. No idea where I'd out it but maybe it could be converted into an awesome limo.

That's ridiculous they don't let them have water there. Agree there are plenty of ways to conceal it or make it look better than just a cooler there.

Not sure if the Fantastic Voyage stuff was but at least from the time it was Phantom Manor it has been considered part of International Street. I know a lot of people don't realize it since you have to clearly go into Planet Snoopy to get to the entrance. Which is why I think it'd be easy to retheme it to Peanuts even though it is considered International Street, they could just start considering it part of Planet Snoopy then.

I think Flight Commander's old pad would be a perfect spot to put in a new Flying Eagles.

I felt the same as a kid. It was great seeing the meticulous theming of everything there when it first was bought by Paramount. All of the rides when they first opened were great too with lots of attention to detail. I never really expected to see stuff like Tomb Raider and Italian Job there with their extensive theming. Though in later years they did let a lot of it slide. Was disappointed when Cedar Fair first bought it and gutted the theming. But these last few years they have really enhanced the park and made it great again and above where it was at the latter days of Paramount for sure.

I would have been so annoyed if I was one of the people around them. His screams were pretty loud at times there. Not to mention he dad never shut up even before he started screaming. Miss that ride though, remember going on it when I was a kid. Was disappointed when they were first taking it out, but Phantom Theatre was one of my favorite rides there ever so at least got an even better replacement. Unfortunately that spot ahs just gone down since then.

I remember reading those as a kid. And agree with everyone else that the first was much better. Been awhile sine I have read them though. And I agree you don't get too old for R.L. Stine. MY roommate and I started binge watching Goosebumps last year when it got added to Netflix. Still not as good as Are You Afraid of the Dark> but that's what Amazon Prime is for.

My friend Dave sent me a text at 11 this morning saying a normal 10 minute wait for Diamondback turned into a 25 minute affair. I just saw reports that Behemoth and Intimidator Carowinds have the seat belts as well. Check out this bit about Behemoth operation today from kunpc1, a moderator over at the fansite CWMania: Is this similar to the way Diamondback is being operated right now? I haven't seen any posts that specifically address the new loading procedures. Interestingly enough, despite the seat belts on Behemoth they are not currently on Leviathan. Say what?! This whole saga is just getting more bizarre by the minute. Yea they whole thing has been strange. Though t it was awkward that they didn't add them to Leviathan but did to the smaller coasters. Also it seems weird that they'd check the seatbelt before lowering restraints. Every other ride they just do it all together and it seems like a big time waster.

Exactly. If it's ok to give your Fast Lane ticket to someone else why not just hand your part ticket itself to someone else. Maybe sometime in the future they'd want to buy an actual ticket and pay to go to the park then.

Did that a lot as a kid at places like Disney too. I would always go to the parks fromt he moment they opened until they closed and my family would never make it all day. So i'd catch the busses out tot he parks and then meet up with them later in the day. Then go ride more after fireworks when they left. Would chat with random people in the lines and sometimes meet other people there by themselves and hang out riding rides together for the day.

Huh? The waterpark got Tidal Wave Bay, Splash River, and its current name in 2012 as part of a large expansion and complete retheme.Or are you still in denial over that? Breakers Bay was the first name that came to my head, yes I know it is TWB. The river is the same except for a few water doo-hickeys. Listen to Mr. Helbig's recording on the call waiting. (Yes, I know it's a new retheme, but I'm discussing water slides explicitly.) I stayed up all night and was uber busy as well, give tired BB1 a break! Yea I woulnd't count taht as a major addition. It was nice adn teh retheme and painting of the waterpark was much needed and look sgreat. But we havne't had a new slide since it became BB. I would rather see a couple flats added first but I wouldn't be disappointed to see a new slide complex added as well and/or a water coaster.

I don't think it would be worth it for taking awy the aesthetic of the park's landmark. If they really wanted to build a polercoaster it'd be better just add a new tower for it.

Racer seems to be having some slow ride ops this year. They were extremely slow when I was there last weekend as well. Skipped riding it again that day due to how slow they were. The line was at the bottom of the ramp and to the turn leading to the queue house and the wait was about 20 minutes. Pretty sure the line didn't move at all for about 7 minutes at one point.

If you are talking about the one fo teh group of them cheering with Snoopy jsut ont eh other side that has always been there. But speaking of that ride they really need to remove that patio table next to Snoopy. It looks so cheap and tacky and I always here people comment about how bad it looks too.

The old stars are still on the back side of the concrete bridge. Tacky. That really surprised me when I was there too. With all of the work that they put intot eh area and the painting that they did I'm surprised they didn't paint that bridge area and get rid of all of the military/aircraft theming. As it stand now that whole walkway area to The Bat looks pretty poor withthe abondened ride queue and station and teh abandoned theming that looks faded and run down itself. A fresh coat of paint over it would do a lot I think and be quick and cheap.

I agree whatever they do with it, if that building stays there I hope they throw some theming around it. Just some sort of façade to make it fit the area better than just being a big metal box, and tweak the outside a bit to look more old west instead of Asian with being more of a mine entrance than a standard cave surrounded by bamboo and stuff.

That would be awesome. And they could potentially reuse the crypt building for the dark ride portion of it.

Remember going on almost all of those and there are some great ones to lose. Really miss Phantom Theatre, Tomb Raider, and the Les Taxis.

Yea with them adding the new TVs everywhere be nice to see a few added around that would show wait times for major attractions. And adding wait times is the one thing I've always felt should be added to the app. Feel the only thing that you really need for the app is show schedule, map, and wait times and you know everything you need for the day.
