Agreed- happened to me this week with a Funnel Cake.

This. This exactly.

The Beach Waterpark is for sale!
A $171M sports complex/conference center/hotel is being constructed in Hamilton- not sure how much they’d be able to compete against that.

Kings Island's next big coaster a ground-up R.M.C?
I LOVE Exterminator at Kennywood. Put that in the TR:TR building and I'll be a happy camper. Kentucky Flyer is incredibly fun and re-rideable. I would not be upset with that in Planet Snoopy either!

Why not a smaller RMC (Like Twisted Timbers size) that has the most inversions on a Hybrid? Or perhaps the first vertical loop on a Hybrid?

I can’t tell you how happy I am that someone else likes Saint-Saens!!

Vortex. Wait. Nevermind.

Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
I was there from about 5:45 to close today- in both the Diamondback and Orion Queues, there were security guards posted that were doing nothing but social distancing and mask enforcement. I was impressed.

Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
You have a fair point- wouldn’t Firehawk’s plot of land have sat idle for more than 21 days but less than a year?
-
Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
The entire plot of land has been seeded and straw applied. If you needed any more indication that it is going to be several years before a replacement is built, that was it.

Markers at Cedar Point
It appears a storm drain line was damaged in the demolition. They have just excavated the area around it to repair it. Nothing more than that. Notice how several new catch basins have been installed around the site.

Ride Wait Times 2020 Season
It was a walk on around 6:30 tonight and yesterday. I was only there at the end of the day, so I can’t speak for the morning.

Orion Reviews
They weren’t using access passes today and yesterday, so you should be fine.

Wasn’t yesterday either.

Kings Island 2020 Finally Open Thread
Heck, I’d take being open until 8 at this point. It’s hard to do much in the park if you can’t get there until 5:30.

New B&M launch/multi launch-style coaster
Probably vests. I doubt the crew in Monthey would develop an inverting lap bar restraint just yet.
-
Ride Wait Times 2020 Season
No access pass required. Just walk on as much as you’d like.

Hint that FOF is next to go????
I find the problem to be less about transitions, and more about vibration. I feel like I’m in one of those mall massage chairs whenever I ride. I’m not sure if that’s a ride vehicle or a track issue, though I’d imagine it’s the latter. The Premier trains aren’t trailered either- if they were, it would probably make those transitions a little more tolerable.

Orion Reviews
This was a conversation that the separator was having with the people next in line to get a seat assignment. Not over the PA, but loud enough to where a large portion of the queue could hear it. @DonHelbig this same employee was also driving Blue Racer earlier in the day and was asking people in line over the PA “Raise your hand if Orion is overrated”. Sorry, I do not have a name.

Does the Banshee rattle bother you?
Thunder run is a great ride- Kentucky Kingdom really takes care of it.

Orion Reviews
I listened to a ride op on WindSeeker drone on and on about how Orion is subpar and basically a hyper, only 287ft, etc. Getting a little old at this point.
