kirbias1 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I think a Dive Coaster would be a great addition for the next scream machine at Kings Island. Hopefully, Busch Gardens and B&M didn't agree to a stipulation that no others could be built a certain amount of miles from the two BG parks.
Banshee Back VII Posted May 29, 2014 Author Posted May 29, 2014 Not anymore. It was actually saying that it was the biggest investment in KI history, until Banshee replaced it as the holder of that title; it didn't mean physical replacement. But I changed "replaced" to "beaten" anyway to prevent further confusion, and axed the "The" while I was at it. Thanks, but I would recommend that you change it to "surpassed". It sounds much more professional.

jcgoble3 Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 ?????????????????????? How can you access the Internet without an IP address????????????????? Calling malem...... 3
malem Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 ?????????????????????? How can you access the Internet without an IP address????????????????? Calling malem...... BB7's Internet access is (of course) originating from an IP address. Wikipedia just blocks that specific address from registering accounts or from performing anonymous edits. Usually, this is because multiple subscribers' content is being routed through a single gateway with one IP address, making it impossible to distinguish individuals. The solution is to register an account elsewhere. Use a Wi-Fi hotspot, visit a public library, or ask a friend to create a Wikipedia account for you. 2
thoe124 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Whatever they put in, i just hope its not an intafail. *cough* Falcons Fury * cough* 1
APE Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 "Intafail" as you called it produces the most thrilling rides and regularly has their rides rated very high. Id rather Intamin push the envelope and have some downtime than for a park to put in a mediocre ride that's a people eater. 7
The Interpreter Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 But you don't own or operate Cedar Fair. They apparently use different parameters. 1

Id rather Intamin push the envelope and have some downtime than for a park to put in a mediocre ride that's a people eater. Yes, they currently have the top two coasters in the world. My favorite as well (Millennium Force).
silver2005 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Well, for all you Intamin fans, why can't you have a thrilling and reliable ride from them? Is that too hard to ask from them? If you want any indication of how they're viewed, look at how their American projects have waned, almost exponentially over the last 5 years. Look how long its taken them to fix our very own Drop Tower. I've said this many times, but if you really want something from Intamin, Mack has a lot of the same things and they have a better track record when it comes to reliability. 3
Banshee Back VII Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 Intamin has the most thrilling rides of any manufacturer. 1
The Interpreter Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 If you say so. Mr. Ouimet could do without some of the thrills INTAMIN provided Cedar Point. Just imagine how thrilled Matt was with Shoot the Rapids when he got THAT phone call. Or imagine how thrilled Busch is with INTAMIN right about now. 2
The Interpreter Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Is it open? And about those press releases. The love Busch has for INTAMIN right now shines right through. I expect there's going to be litigation on this one. 2
Banshee Back VII Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 It is delayed until "later this summer". Neither Busch Gardens park has an INTernational AMusement INstallation coaster.
The Interpreter Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 As nearly every INTAMIN installation is delayed. Parks want reliabilty, low or no downtime, safety and no surprises. INTAMIN's not very good at that. 2
silver2005 Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 It is delayed until "later this summer". Neither Busch Gardens park has an INTernational AMusement INstallation coaster. You must have missed this one then. Photo courtesy of RCDB. Also, whenever someone has brought up Intamin's reliability record, I have yet to hear someone try to defend them for it. Just sayin'. 6
Oldschool75 Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I would be happy with improvements to a certain Arrow in the park; that will make the ride bearable again. I'm not sure if that would be feasible.

How in the world could I forget about Cheetah Hunt? BB7, who is really tired

homestar92 Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I hear that a certain INTAMIN attraction in Indiana has taken a bit of a plunge recently, as well. We may not need to worry though. INTAMIN's relationship with that park Mayflower still, even with past difficulties. 3
TombRaiderFTW Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 ^ Intamin's relationship Mayflower? Not a Chance. 2
The Interpreter Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Especially if Pat still ran the place with Will. They loved great coasters, but bought custom ones. All operated by gravity. I've said enough. Loose lips sink ships. Sorry for the diversion. 2
Banshee Back VII Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 I wonder if Holiday World will install an INTAMIN coaster.
The Interpreter Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I can answer that. No. Not likely in my lifetime. They woodn't. Still. 3
Banshee Back VII Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 I have to agree; it wouldn't be smart.
Creed Bratton Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 That's a big Negative. Remember Girrafica/Pilgrims Plunge? 2
