Was just chatting about this in another convo - my honest wager would be, whenever the time comes for KK's launch system (because it will be the launch system, RIP Formula Rossa) to be retired, Six Flags make the same gambit as Top Thrill and modify as a swing launch LSM system. With some...

TBH, with such a compact layout, it may not be as late as you think. Track construction often doesn't go vertical until the off-season, for instance.

First, new off-ride rendering: Second, upon further thought, and to echo @TPoseOnTantrum's sentiment - why is Cedar Point getting a tilt coaster!? Plugging the open plot of Wildcat's land after years of sitting idle I understand; further rumor mill suggests this or another coaster was in the...

I’ll merge and move appropriate posts to the new Vekoma construction thread. Thanks for starting the new thread!

Did NOT have this on my bingo card @davidm! 😉 Big surprise, and will be really interesting to see how it stacks up next to Valravn as “vertical drop” attractions. Some other observations: The footprint looks like it will require alteration to perimeter road, swinging it westward, closer to...

eight years, six years - time is a circle after COVID. 😅

If it also helps add to the water slide scales, Kings Island is receiving a water slide next year - could be a bulk order. I also realized my statline was wrong, the original Soak City waterslides are actually as old as me, built in 1988. 😅

On Steel Vengeance Loading Protocol: Ahhhhhh yes, the RMC "Seatbelts First Lap Bars Second" protocol. I'll agree CP is pretty gruff on their delivery having to pack so many syllables-per-second. Some other honorable "they do it too" mentions are Hersheypark (Wildcat's Revenge), BGT (Iron...

As much as I'd love this to be a water coaster of some sorts (or indeed a straight water ride replacement for Snake River Falls), this could also be new water slide additions to the Cedar Point Shores (formerly Soak City) water park, which quietly removed the original batch of Soak City...

Fury skating through at #1 is the most Golden Ticket Award move ever. Shared in another coaster chat, for the un-GTA-initiated: On Golden Ticket Awards and how it can get 60% general alignment with broader consensus… and then 20% so off-base it makes you wonder if an Octopus was making picks...

1. Helix 2. Slink Dog Dash ... talk about the most polar list ever.

Man, Blazing Fury is gonna slap in 2026!

Hmmm, so the launch really ends at that sneaky bunny hill, and the train carries up the rest of the sweeping turn? Will pack in more positive g’s than I expected for that portion!

I'm quite familiar with this phenomena for 2024.

I was taking hope in the clear work and focus that was put on the train (and weighting it with new modified weight system), but alas time clearly ran out for serious work this season. Please just have this thing ready to rock and roll come next May. Enough with the flub ups, and Zamperla is...

Meh, I think people are biting a little hard on Iron Menace's rough transitions and generalizing them to the whole. B&M is fine, and you're low key geeked for this ride, most likely.

Love the world's highest coaster catwalk on the airtime hill too. :P

Can’t wait for everyone to just call this “Wrath.” Well, save the GP; they’ll call it “Raging Bull.” Great ride overall - still coming off of Valkyria at Liseberg back in June; if inversions are half as good, we will be doing swell.

Due for a six year (!!) update: - B&M has continued to grow as "most ridden", with modest growth by Intamin and Premier. Mack and Vekoma rides are still an interesting minority in ridership. - Ride Designer stats are getting ever more sketch due to bad reporting, but still a hella-lot Ing...
