Gerstlauer to build one-of-a-kind, record-breaking roller coaster at Glenwood Caverns; Opens May 2022
My vote is either Cedar Point or Icon Park. I think the bigger news is Cedar Point teasing Wicked Twisters demise. That coaster would be a great fit at WOF, MIA, or CGA. Its to good of a ride to scrap

I keep getting icon park vibes from this

Merging two chains
I think Six Flags and Cedar Fair could be interesting. I like certain things from both companies. If they combined the best aspects from both chains and spread it through the parks I think we would like that!

Wild Adventures to Retire Cheetah
Monster is a very solid ride. As for the scrambler I have no idea. I did not ride many classic flats there. Focused on the coaster credits, water park and unique stuff

TPR is my favorite site. Loads of information on every park. I am not part of club TRP. Its vast array of forums always has up to date news on the industry.

Most Painful Rides by Manufacturer
Oh I am on the Banshee train. I have ridden all 5 north American B&M coasters with vest restraints and I do not like them. X-Flight was the only one I could seem to get a little comfy on. Most want to crush and destroy you!!!!

Wild Adventures to Retire Cheetah
Last Saturday we attended Wild Adventures for the first time. We only had about 4 hours before the storms hit. We really enjoyed this park. Lots of stuff for our 2 and 4 year old to do. Twisted Typhoon was my 150th credit! Nice mix of coasters, flats, animals and other activities. Since its on the way to Florida right off of 75 we will happily go again in the future. Since we only had 4 hours I am sure we missed alot. Seeing Cheetah SBNO killed me. Hopefully it turns into Steel Cheetah lol

Clementon Park Bought by Indiana Beach Holdings
Very good news. Never fun seeing little parks closed. I am really curious to see what Mr Staples does to this park. We have already seen him purchase 2 coasters for Indiana Beach

What was the last roller coaster that you have ridden?
I think the last coaster I rode was Orion. luckily I am going to Wild Adventures first week of April and Beech Bend in May so I can finally start riding coasters this year!

Six Flags over Georgia
I am glad you had fun. That park has been near the top of my list to visit ( We usually visit 5 new parks a year). Sorry to hear you felt unsafe at times. I have heard the last year or so that security has really tightened in this park

Holiday World's Reaction to KK News
If you ever drive on highway 75 to Florida they have 1000 billboards advertising the park

What new attraction would make the best sense for KI?
I think either a Vekoma mad house or a flying theater good be good fits for KI

Canada's Wonderland's Next Coaster
Move Flight Deck to Valley Fair and give it new Vest trains. I picture Adventureland and Lost Island to really give Valleyfair trouble in the coming years. Demolish that abomination Time Warp. That would free up a nice amount of land for a good invert.

Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
I was still able to visit 4 new parks last year and have plans to do the same this year. It seems like if states let parks open that people are still going

What new attraction would make the best sense for KI?
I believe anything more then 4 and they will not do a vertical lift

Wild Adventures to Retire Cheetah
Take it from a guy who visited Adventureland Iowa for the first time this summer. I enjoyed my visit there more then parks like Valleyfair and holiday World. The park had a nice vibe, nice coasters, flats and a nice waterpark.

New B&M Models?
I have seen companies like Chance, Intamin and Mach make hyper lite coasters. I would love to see B&M take a crack at something like Alpina Blitz.

How much longer for Gemini?
Ever since I saw Alton Towers build the Smiler I have pictured Cedar Point going for the inversion record
