kblanken Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 No, but I know it is a great ride. Yeah, almost as good as Legend at Holiday World. Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 I feel bad for Big Dipper. By the time somebody buys that ride, the only thing that will be good is the chain lift. Maybe Oiment or whatever his name is will bring back Geauga Lake one day. Unlikely to happen but in my mind and the mind of many others, that would be a wonderful thing to do. However, that would burn a large whole in the money bags of Cedar Fair and doesn't seem like a very Ouimet type plan....... But who knows, sometimes FUN comes in un-expected and suprising ways. Quote
kblanken Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 At this point, the only likely way is by just using the blueprints and starting over with new wood, if they could find a park it would make sense to put it. (Edit spelling fix) 1 Quote

kblanken Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Big Dipper gets the Zippin Pippin treatment as opposed to reusing the old materials.... But I just can't think of a Cedar Fair park it would make sense to put the Big Dipper right now. Edit to add: Also, evidently I am confusing myself now too. I don't think I noticed We were talking about reviving Geauga Lake as opposed to moving Big Dipper. Quote
The Interpreter Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Ah. Thanks. It would also help if it were certain who currently owns it and has the right to sell it. It's a mess. 2 Quote
Shawn Meyer Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Anybody think they'll have a big fence around the area of Thunder Alley and the SOB former spots? I know Cedar Point likes to use the long brown fences for new construction projects and I would guess we would see the same for Kings Island. Quote
zombiejane Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 not to change the wooden coaster subject, but i would like to see a blitz coaster go in. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I would think there would be some sort of fence, unless they plant some temporary grass. But that all depends on what they are going to do for future park expansion. And what exactly is a blitz coaster? Quote
PhantomTheater Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Maverick as an example is a blitz coaster. 1 Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I have never heard of it referred to as that before. Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 It used to be listed as such on Intamin's website, though they've apparently done away with that classification as of late. iSpeed at Mirabilandia was the only other coaster listed as a Blitz coaster, and it's now under LSM Launch Coaster. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 The word has some rather unpleasant connotations to this day.... Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 The word has some rather unpleasant connotations to this day.... Which word Blitz or LSM? Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Har har har. Terp, trying to behave (and figure out how not to get losted!) Quote
