In the bread station they had a variety of bagels and 2 or 3 kinds of small muffins. On the main buffet they offered green beans, a shrimp pasta, a salad station, eggs Benedict, French toast, a carving station turkey & roast beef, omelette station, fresh fruit & 2 kinds of breakfast potatoes. Later on I saw someone with bacon so I assume they put it up later. There was a small desert bar with a few kinds of cheesecake & brownies. They offered coffee and soft drinks.

I went to the international restaurant Mother’s Day brunch and I’ve got to to say it was just ok. There’s was decent variety but I wish they had more pastries & a few more options available. My main problem with the brunch was the way it was arranged. They put the omelette station at the very end which resulted in the line coming to a stand still every time someone wanted an omelette. The main issue with this is that by the time I finally got done getting my omelette, my food was already cold. I’d suggest they next year they should try to move the omelette station some where else or have you order an omelette from your waiter so that the line can keep moving.

There’s no way, and I mean NO WAY that this was a pitched layout. If it was a pitched layout the only parties involved would have likely been B&M & CedarFair’s design team, and both of those parties would almost certainly not allow a leak like that to occur. There’s really only 2 options I see here, the first one is that someone took the time to create this layout to troll people or a contractor hired by the park ended up leaking the layout.

Then it’d be even shorter lol. On a serious note if the “leaked layout” is legit then it’d be a bunch of airtime’s and not a lot of sharp turns due to how straight the track seems to be.

^^^ That area of the clearing has at least been expand a bit. Don’t know how much until our spy plane gets some more shots.

I saw a tween curse at one of the ride ops on Mystic Timbers so there’s that. (He was also screaming and being annoying the entire ride)

I went earlier today and I noticed the line of trees were noticeably thinner then last week. I also noticed there was now several markers in the Firehawk area so I’d expect concrete pouring to occur very soon.

The layer of trees between The Beast and the clearing is now very thin.

Because I’m in denial that CedarFair isn’t building a 50 million dollar, 355 ft tall, 10,000 ft long giga coaster. In all seriousness I’m just being optimistic it isn’t really that short... I kind of was hoping the clearing was going to have been bigger when the park opened this previous Friday. At this point I think it’s probably real.

The street named Orion is Right next to that street.

Since they’re not tearing out the Dinosaurs Alive paths (As of now) maybe Field of screams might not be removed? It seemed like the most popular haunt last year.

I mean most people prefer Diamondback over magnum.. the point of his post is that CedarFair isn’t going to go out of their way to build mediocre coasters to protect Carowinds & Cedar Point because as you mentioned they don’t protected. If a park 4 hours away getting a giga coaster really threatened Cedar Points title of “Coaster capital of the world” then Kings Island wouldn’t be getting a giga in the first place.

Yeah but Yukon Striker broke all of Valravns records.... I think CedarFair will have their rides break records due to the fact it’s much easier to market them that way.

I don’t know if a wooden rollercoaster would be the best for an entrance, all of the supports might be somewhat overwhelming. Even scaffolding steel supports would be somewhat overwhelming... if they do a from entrance coaster I’d want it to be a B&M which don’t have a ton of supports, look simplistic & look cool. Just my take on a front entrance coaster.

I’m not sure it would though as CSF doesn’t do anything besides rollercoasters so I don’t think overall steel prices would have changed that much (If at all)

If the thing isn’t even 300 ft tall then I’m going to be pretty disappointed, if CedarFair went out of their way to give us a giga coaster that isn’t even 300 ft tall then that really makes me question their plans for Kings Island, and it certainly doesn’t scream “Going the extra mile” as Mr.Zimmerman talked about.

So you’re telling me The Beast isn’t the 5th best wooden coaster in the world????

It looks to be a reverse treble cleft.

I think he was referring to the coaster it’s self (How it’s 250 ft and made by B&M)

I’m sorry but if this giga coaster is suffering from “Budget constraints” a launch lift hill would make absolutely zero sense. As cool as it would be there’s a 1% chance they’d actually do it.

I don’t think people care about the height that much at this point... I think we’re all mostly surprised at how short this coaster appears to be.

Yes but a lot of people here were expecting that we’d be getting a #1 coaster and not a #8.... I’m sure it’s going to be a great ride but this ride really feels like a step back from Fury... Cedar Fairs new coasters always are improvements but this doesn’t feel like that at all.

All those who are getting that beast ERT, any news to share?

To add onto that, I doubt they would have wanted to remove Firehawk in 2014, the ride was still relatively newer.

I don’t know what the mods could have done in this situation. I doubt the park had contacted the forum or asked for the user to be banned because if they did that’d practically confirm the layout...
