Bummer! Opening Sunday for the NFL! Oh well. Have fun all! Take lots of pics!

You can handle it tough guy!How about some pics of your hot wife?

If I have not been to either park? Park A I know the rides have better chance of operating then park B.

Kudos to the person(s) that pointed out his strange behavior.

Should be fixed now! Sorry for my boldness!

And then promptly closed for more repairs.What is your fascination with unreliable rides?

So is the tough guy really a wuss and scared to really tell us how he feels, or is he admitting to (by his own definition) being a troll? Hmmmm....

Mr. Kinzel at one time said that DT was also a poor decision. Ironically, an Intamin as well.

Cedar Point was a great park with record breaking coasters before the Intamin coaster additions. There is no reason to believe it would have changed without them.

This thread will soon become: "Starting to decode 2014 farmer's upgrades" Seriously- I have seen many large things being transported on the highways that I truly believed to be track (most times while going to a park) only to find out that it was some other part for an industry I am unfamiliar with. As a time killer, we will then attempt to try & figure out what it is used for.

I love Intamin, but wow, the issues they have......

^ I have seen it used on Saturdays during HW.

CP has been running out of room for the same amount of time Vortex has been sinking. From our perspective it may look that way, but that is just not the case. All rides have a certain lifespan. The business side of CP has to determine if the return on investment in the upkeep of ride "x" is worth it (DT and WC are prime examples as far as CP goes). It has been rumored for sometime that CP does have an exceptional amount of land near the Point.

We have now come full circle to the ride being sponsored by Doritos & White Castle.

Good question! We know it digs holes.

Whenever KI announces the current project, I predict within one week someone will start a topic wondering about the 2015/ 2016 project.

Removal for the offseason probably has more to do with corrosion than anything. I'm sure a protective coating is used (unless the park paid an obnoxious amount for non-corrosive magnets) that needs to be reapplied during the offseason. The protective coating endures a lot of wear & tear during the coarse of a season- especially from the weather.

I love that video.I purchased it on EBay many years ago as a beta tape, found an old beta player at work, recorded the beta version to a VHS, then sent it to *I believe* BoddaH. The beta player then died after making the last copy. Good times!

You say tomato, I say tomato. For many, construction (on anything) starts when payments need to be made for work performed. Does that mean when land gets surveyed? Sure. Does that mean when clearing starts? Sure. Does that mean when things go verticle? Sure. None are wrong, but not exactly right either.

For some reason I remember the land clearing starting in 1977.....

Beast did run trimless prior to opening day 1979. The ride was reported to be unbearable. There has been some to have claimed to have had trimless rides for special park events. Claim being the key word.

ABRACADABRA! *poof* KI now has a new coaster. (perhaps this will be something Mr. Alonzo will be doing come HH)

Ride will most certainly be sponsored by Doritos!
