Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I just read that a doctor in Europe sewed a zombie together and brought it to life in his laboratory; but you see, that was fiction, too. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Deck'd Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 ^so an RMC refurb of Mean Streak would be called "Frankenstreak"? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 If Mean Streak does become a "hybrid" coaster, you may have just coined its nickname. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Goddard Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Screamscape is who is reporting that Mean Streak will being changed this year. Apparently the Mean Streak crew was told they would be redistributed later in the summer. However it has not been confirmed an RMC conversion. Edit: Beaten to the punch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I believe Mean Streak is having major work done. While I want it to be RMC I have my doubts. I still think that it is more likely we will see GCI. The stake which says RMC on it is just too obvious. Cedar Fair has stated more than once about the company's relationship with GCI. Also at CoasterMania, Rob Decker was talking about how good the Ghostrider changes came out and that the CEO had recently been riding it and thought that they did a fantastic job. He then asked the audience how many people planned on going and riding it with the modifications. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Screamscape said it, it must be true I like the idea of GCI coming in to do some major work on Mean Streak, if that turns out to be true. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Deck'd Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Besides Rob Decker's comments, has anyone heard how Ghostrider turned out (fanboy feedback)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Besides Rob Decker's comments, has anyone heard how Ghostrider turned out (fanboy feedback)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Have not ridden it yet myself. But everything I have read has been good. The MCBR was totally removed, although it still has some trims in areas. The ride is comfortable, but you can tell it is still a wooden coaster, and has some good airtime. The banking on turns has been changed so people think it has less laterals. The biggest complaint I have read is some people wanted it to be an RMC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bm0324 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I haven't read a lot on it, but what I've read has been good. However with the reprofiling, it is likely the laterals won't be as strong. No one does laterals quite like CCI did. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyrider Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 anyone else looking at that tunnel they're building and really, really, like REALLY wishing its a return of the floral (or vine) tunnel from several eras ago? That would make my summer. I saw them too and it bought back childhood memories of walking from Hannah Barbara and into Rivertown! It looks like their will be more than one arch going through the White Water Canyon line. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there are two floral tunnels and there is wisteria already planted and I think more will be added too. Should look really good in some time (maybe a couple of years)Sent from my XT1034 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTR Guy Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 On the Mean Streak topic : there was a picture posted about a week or so ago of surveying equipment near Mean Streak, and a stake that said "RMC". However RMC in this case most likely referred to Rigid Metallic Conduit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 To repeat pics from another thread: I'm terribly excited about its return! X2 no less! Where in the park was the original tunnel? I remember going under it, especially when it was raining, but my terrible memory has left me unable to place it within the park. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvertiJack Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Kings Dominion has a tunnel just like that. I think it's over by Grizzly and the water rides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 If my memory is correct it's where the current CFA table seating is located now. It sort of acts as a cut through from where the Fred Flintstone Yogi Bear entrance to River Town was. I believe it came out where the current DB exit/gift store is located Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Thanks for the info and that thread bump. I see its original path basically has been blocked off by, I think, the Cornerstone Café (or is it Grill), which is an employees-only eatery I've become a little fascinated with after noticing its sign while on DB's brake run. No wonder I couldn't figure out where it had been. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Guy Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I'm wondering how this is going be when it's all said and done. I seriously doubt that they'd go to the trouble is that tunnel is just for the WWC line. That would seem like a waste. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyrider Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I'm wondering how this is going be when it's all said and done. I seriously doubt that they'd go to the trouble is that tunnel is just for the WWC line. That would seem like a waste. I sometimes wonder if the new attraction will somehow utilize the Crypt building---maybe some type of interactive coaster that comes inside the building and shoots outside the building. Thinking of something similar to Verboten at Colonial Williamsburg Bush Gardens or Mystery Mine at Dollywood. If you have been on Verboten that coaster has a computer randomly change the scene inside the building and the cars start at the top in the building and the coaster cars has a freefall feeling as the lower track connects before shooting out of the building. I hope to have something as thrilling and themed as those two great coasters! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
