Bennett Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Since the site Rick Rolled itself, it is no shock. Silliness turned into nastiness, turned into some jackwagon getting arrested (no fault of HTCO). I find it all so amusing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFNfbsy__bI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierjtf Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Forceful rides are a lot of fun. Maverick is easily in my top 5 because of how forceful it is. "Forceless" rides can be fun as well. I think smooth is a better term to describe them. I would throw Diamondback into that category. That ride is also easily in my top 5. B&M inverts like Silver Bullet (probably top 10 for me) are smooth, fun rides that aren't as forceful as maverick but are anything but forceless. I really like SB and it is forceful enough to not be re-rideable for a few hours. While a giga like I305 would admittedly be my first choice for KI, an invert will be just as exciting. Just to throw this in, IMO Millennium Forceless was a huge letdown to me when I rode it. Diamondback beats that ride any day. I've ridden it several time and have never failed to feel disappointed. Millennium is superior to DB in every facet... Feels like you are barely moving on DB when comparing DB to MF.... that 13 MPH and 70 ft make a big difference 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tr0y Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I passed by the clermont steel plant, they had there garage doors open and were working on b&m track. I was able to see it from the street in my car while i was waiting at the light. The track was not painted, there was also flatbed trailers parked at the front of the plant. I have pictures of the track from the street but i don't know how to post them from my ipad... What i saw was from the street i did not go commando and take a up close and personal tour, unlike some people from this forum Sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool75 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 If flat beds are there, then they are more than likely ready to start shipping track or supports. I would say we will probably start seeing something soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Meyer Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Doesn't look like this forum changed too much. Great Job to the Administrators though for cleaning up this thread. Anybody here going to Beastbuzz? I plan to attend! Maybe will get an inside scoop of what's to come for 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tr0y Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Im assuming that they will announce the ride August but not actually start installing supports and track pieces till mid September, i don't think all the footers have been placed, and they still have to pour a foundation for the station. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tr0y Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 All the evidence is pointing to a b&m 1) footers identical to other b&m coasters and track being made at the plant. Now we are moving on to decoding what b&m we are getting any suggestions? It's almost worth putting money down on a invert coaster, as strange as it would be with 3 under the track coasters in one section of the park, im curious if this is part of a plan in removing one of those coasters...

YoungStud Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 A coaster will only be removed if maintenance cost is high and ridership is declining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 There really isn't a line for flight deck, its practically a walk on during the weekdays and a short 5-10 minute wait on the weekends, arrow is out of business so parts could become an issue, plus think if they removed that coaster and all the paths that led to and from it all the room it would create, then we could see a phase 2 for the Action Zone revamp..

You have valid points, but I really hope your wrong. Its one of my favorites in the park! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Meyer Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I know you guys want to see Flight Deck removed, but me and my family have a lot of memories on that ride. I know life is about change, but seeing Flight Deck/Top Gun removed would be tough to swallow. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know life is about change, but seeing Flight Deck/Top Gun removed would be tough to swallow. That's how I am with Vortex. It's my first coaster (6-8yo). My dad dragged me on it. I lost him 8 years ago. I'd be devastated if Vortex was destroyed. It's because of him that I love riding. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_12 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I have no clue who created this but the footers and the layout look extremely close to what we see with the 2014 project! I think this might be spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tr0y Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I don't wish to see flight deck go but it only makes sense, i felt the same way about Son of Beast, if they remove flight deck they could add more flat rides and possibly give way for room to a giga coaster running along the outside of the park so it wouldn't take up space.. Personally if we were to get a giga i would hope for an intanim, not saying i have anything against b&m, Diamondback is excellent! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think running a coaster between the parking lot and Congo Falls and Invertigo would be interesting. They could even do what CW and CP did and put it over the entrance.

Tr0y Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Ya i have ridden Gatekeeper and its a awesome coaster kinda short ride tho, but i think there's an issue were Cedar Fair will not let its other parks outdo the flagship park Cedar Point in terms of records, this coaster being a b&m makes me think that if we were to break a record it would be 200 ft invert coaster, which sounds good to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday around 12:00 there was a 30 minute wait. I've never been so happy to wait in line because FD was actually getting some love for a change. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
