    Herschend Buying Kentucky Kingdom

    As did I but the fact that they're teasing something now means maybe it's been put back on the table.

    Herschend Buying Kentucky Kingdom

    Kentucky Kingdom has started teasing something. Reddit seems to think the map connects all the Herschend properties. Decide for yourself

    SeaWorld Orlando | Ice Breaker | Premier Rides Custom Sky Rocket | 2022

    yeah, Having ridden west coast racers, comfort collars are going to kill an otherwise (probably) great ride. really a shame. That said my biggest issue with the collars is I'm short. Taller people may have less of the issues I did.

    SeaWorld Orlando | Ice Breaker | Premier Rides Custom Sky Rocket | 2022

    This honestly looks like a great little coaster that's going to be absolutely ruined by comfort collars...

    Lightning Rod Status

    At least as far of the first drop is concerned, the part of the first drop not being retracked is the part where the only part of the train making contact with the the track is the upstop wheels, at least according to what Pete had shown us back on the 2016 Live.

    Not 100% sure this is the right place for this but it appears most Cedar Fair parks are announcing opening dates in May. https://cpfoodblog.com/2021-cedar-fair-parking-opening-dates/

    CoasterForce's Favourite Roller Coasters - 2020 Edition

    A measly 14/25 for me. While I suspect I'll be able to pick up the last US cred I don't have on the list (Mako) this year if things go well, it will likely be awhile before I'm able to pick up any of the coasters outside the US. Happy to have been able to pick up Shambhala though on the one...

    Do you have any theme park guilty pleasures?

    +1. Basically any arrow without an inversion is a guilty pleasure. Also Flying Scooters

    What is the most surprising airtime moment you’ve experienced in your enthusiast career?

    Almost forgot literally every hill on leap the dips. Never in my wildest dreams did I think my butt would be that far out of the seat.

    What is the most surprising airtime moment you’ve experienced in your enthusiast career?

    Not sure this counts but I knew to expect airtime on Phoenix and Jack Rabbit's (KW) double down, but I was not prepared for just how strong of the airtime to expect. Also the drop right out of the station towards the back of the train on Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk was quite a...

    What is your favourite use of special effects on an attraction?

    Expedition Everest's Yeti the year it opened back when it worked the way it was originally intended to was to this day the most incredible special effect I've seen. I'll also give this a +1. Crazy to see to Disney's special effects have evolved over the years

    The Boss at Six Flags St. Louis Closing?

    I would have to imagine that depends on how the experiment with it on predator goes.

    US Election; what are your thoughts?

    The best part is Pfizer specifically refused to be part of warp speed so his claim of victory on that front is fraudulent anyways

    GCI Titan Track Conversion

    To expand on the Darien Lake part, It's likely retracking the helix turnaround (at 43 seconds) and potentially the hill immediately before and after. That has consistently been the roughest portion of the ride despite it being retracked frequently. Sadly this also likely means SF isn't...

    Voted for Mojito but I'm also a big fan of Dark & Stormy and of Kentucky Mules

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    This was my inclination. As much of a bummer it is to see these classic rides removed, I'm not in the least bit shocked a PR owned park is trying to reduce costs during this global pandemic where profits are down. Truthfully I still think it's a miracle KW was able to build a coaster to the...
