  1. ^^^ CW has put in Dining Plan lines at the I-Street Pizza Pizza and the Chicken Shack in Action Zone... I'll try to grab a pic next time I'm there... It was a Friday and the park was almost empty, so can't really report on if it's working well or not...
  2. ^^^ Hey, some parks WOULD charge for that so I can see why they asked...
  3. But my friends' sisters' boyfriend SAW it... And nothing you say can convince them otherwise...
  4. Purchased my Six Flags pass a few months ago, but haven't processed it yet... Hitting La Ronde, Great Escape and NJFTP in June... Going to use my Platinum Pass to shoehorn Dorney Park in as well...
  5. Oooh, that'd be a nice add... And if they've already got one sitting around...
  6. ^^^ Speed will be in km/h, height will be in feet, length can go either way...
  7. Curious to see how the wait times are during the season, and how the new ride affects lines in other areas of the park...
  8. Sky Rides are always nice... Would like to see one... A twist n splash or Mack's interactive boat ride would be fun... Does anyone make Gravitrons or Condors anymore???
  9. Here's some pictures from when the wind was blowing the tarp up... You can see by the cross-section that the spine of the track is pretty sizeable...
  10. The footage from these is just a bumpy mess anyway... Really hoping that parks everywhere start tossing people... If you don't enforce rules, you might as well not have rules...
  11. I just don't know what to say... But with the attitude of those involved it was only a matter of time before something like this happened... So sad...
  12. Thank you, we will for sure look into that as we will be in the area honeymooning for several days...
  13. I second the Diana's Deli recommendation... Good food at all hours of the day... I usually stay at one of the places near to there, and find it a nice change from the usual fast-food diet I have on vacation...
  14. Great!!! We had already decided on going here (and Carowinds) in 2019... Hoping it lives up to the hype!!!
  15. ^^^ This is very accurate... Found the water park packed from the heat, but the rest of the park didn't seem busy at all... Only line of any length was 35 minutes for Volcano, and that's just due to capacity, not from crowd level... The heat made it seem way longer...
  16. I care far less for how tall it is than I do for how it rides... I'd rather ride something that's 315' and knocks my socks off than a ride that's 345' and isn't as good...
  17. 1) Banshee 2) Raptor 3) Alpengeist 4) Le Vampire
  18. To me, the ride it gives is more important than the height... I'd rather have a great ride that's a bit shorter than a lacklustre ride that hits a certain height number just for bragging/marketing reasons... I personally enjoy Griffon more than Valravn, but to the average person through the gate, either would be a great hit... I doubt it will interact with the mountain... From where it is to the mountain is pretty long haul for a dive coaster... They're already going around/through Vortex, having to go over Guardian and may make it look really cluttered... As for inversions, if it's a dive, the answer is 'not enough'... Canada's Wonderland has 14 inversions, spread over 4 at best mediocre rides, 3 of which is are just off the shelf "I'll take one of those please" coasters, and the 4th is a Arrow Looper that isn't as good as Vortex (KI), Lock Ness Monster (BGW) or Anaconda (KD)... The park has rides with 75 and 80 degree drops... Do they really need a 90 degree drop that bad??? I'd say something is better than nothing, but I'd point to Soaring Timbers, Guardian and Time Warp as exceptions to that rule...
  19. They've asked him to not film from the west side of the park but told him he is fine to film from the south as long as he doesn't go over the park.
  20. The current inverting coasters in the park: Arrow Looper (1981) Vekoma SLC (1995) Zamperla Volare (2004) Vekoma Boomerang (1987) Whatever it is, I hope it addresses this...
  21. Here's a good photo that shows the pieces of Vortex removed... Giving the link instead of posting the pic itself so that the pic gets proper attribution... https://www.instagram.com/p/BebQGpQBj08/
  22. They've actually removed a chunk of Vortex's track to facilitate what they're doing in the (currently drained) lake... The paperwork filed is saying 9 supports and a tunnel...
  23. No... Unless you have some crazy love of flat rides, it'd easily skippable... Leviathan isn't as good as Millennium Force, I305 or Fury 325... Behemoth is a bit better than Diamondback, but not enough to make a trip for... Vortex (CW) and The Bat (KI) give the same ride with different scenery... The effects on CW's BLSC haven't worked since not long after the Paramount days ended... Dragon Fire isn't as good as Vortex (KI)... Nighthawk is leaps and bounds better than Time Warp, which is universally despised... Banshee is my favorite inverted coaster... Much better than Flight Deck is... None of the 3 wooden coasters are anything to write home about... Guardian has horrible capacity, the guns are often malfunctioning, and the 3D is blurry and dim... Silver Streak and FAAC are the exact same... As are Taxi Jam and Great Pumpkin Coaster... CWs Boomerang isn't inverted and slightly smaller... What else (other than flats) is there??? A wild mouse and Thunder Run??? If you're in the neighbourhood, give it a shot... Just be prepared to wait a lot... They get the same amount of people through the door as CP, yet only Leviathan and Behemoth have good capacity... Having a park full of flats means you're going to do a lot of waiting...
