Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees

[Coaster Addict]

^^ Huh, I forgot about Knotts removing theirs... It wasn't moved to another park either. Okay I'm obviously barking up the wrong tree, carry on.

Someone better tell KD that Cedar Fair is coming for their Top Spin!

I hope not. It's one of the few left...

If all the Screamin Swings disappear I will be really sad. That's one of my absolute favorite rides.

Honestly have any Top Spins been removed from any CF park besides KI for obvious reasons?

Major Key

This thread is starting to move in circles 

[Engineering Coasters]

Splashdown = Major Key

What else splashes? WWC and RFYLCB

 

It doesn't add much to the conversation, but it is still consistent with previous hints.

If I recall one of DJ Khaled's quotes though: "The key is to make it."

 

Edit: Think of what else Khaled says... (Another one)

[FoF96"]

I can think of 4 Cedar Fair parks that operate Top Spins. If one really wanted to get on one the closest would probably be KD. Not to mention it seems like almost every Six Flags park has one also. They aren't that hard to find.

I don't think "major key" is a hint. I think its them shaping and directing towards the youth. It could just be pointing that Diamonback is major key part of the skyline or ride line up of Kings Island.

I'm not sure why I thought more of them had been removed... Brain fart

I personally think Don's "Major Key" snapchat wasn't referencing DB's lift hill. I think its referencing the splashdown... I'm still not convinced KI is getting a coaster, I think it's more likely KI will get a flat. As I stated earlier, keep a close eye on Dorney Parks removed Screamin Swing. (Sorry for the double post. Internet is acting up.)

Knott's removed their Screamin Swing last year, CF may just be removing them, kinda like they've done with most of their HUSS Top Spins. When rides start becoming problematic they tend to just close all of them to prevent future issues..

I wouldn't look too much into this trend yet. Both of the Screamin Swings that CF has removed have been the small 8-person capacity model. I would bet that the big 40-person models at Valleyfair and The Point are safe.

And looking into it there are actually 5 haha. Crypt- KD, Riptide- KBF and VF, Thunderbolt- WOF, and Firefall-CGA

They sure removed Hangtime too, look what replaced that

Worlds of Fun and Knotts removed theirs this season. The parks that still have HUSS Top Spins (or one of the variants) are California's Great America, Kings Dominion, and Valleyfair. Canada's Wonderland has a similar ride, but it's from Mondial, not HUSS.

 

The one at Worlds of Fun was awful--I think the seats are sized for children under the age of 10--but the rest are Suspended Top Spins that I dearly hope stay around. I've only ridden The Crypt at Kings Dominion, but it's legitimately a fun ride for me.

These are the same people who posted all kinds of pictures of Racer when touting their 2016 announcement. I wouldn't put too much stock in any of the hints.

[dragsterguy21]

They did a major key of The Bat

[Engineering Coasters]

Don and crew work in mysterious ways 

[freaks76]

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if there were no top spins......

[MadMaverick]

Maybe DB is a"major key" because it is getting ready to be dethroned as the tallest fastest rollercoaster at KI?

One can only hope, MadCowboyCoaster.

I really hope you did not just vandalize Wikipedia to get that.

Ah, the "Preview" function. Nice.

[stashua123]

Ahhh we are now on Stage Two of the Decoding Thread.

 

Stage One: Intitial Excitement and Speculation

Stage Two: The "no real evidence yet" overthinking lull. 

 

Stage three will come soon enough!

[CoasterDude48]

I think the picture of the "major key" that showed the splashdown could hint a dive coaster. Griffon at BGW has a splashdown and has a 200ft+ drop like DB as seen in the picture

I think - no, actually, I know - the "major key" Snapchat is simply an attempt from KI to appeal to the younger generation, referencing DJ Khaled's Snapchat stories. Seriously. That's all it is.

Move along now.

 

Edit: I realize this has already been said. Oh well, I'll say it again.
