I ALMOST headed to the park this morning for a couple of hours before heading home, I am glad I decided to forego that thought now after seeing this. On the subject of yesterday, thank you to all of the ride crews for toughing out a hot and humid afternoon and putting in the extra effort to keep things moving quickly!

I would DEFINITELY be down with this!! We already have the ramps and platforms, lets get something like this here! No sing-a-long, no other "variety", just this!!

I would have for sure taken at least one day off this week to come down if the park were still open. I personally think its a$$, I dont want to hear "But the kids are back in school so we cant staff the park". B.S. put Mr. Selfie on a ride and all the other gold tags and keep it open daily until Labor Day.

In your next email, tell them you are a Prestige Passholder and see if it improves the response time Edit: I REALLY want the "You must be this tall..." pin to wear, thanks for the heads up that exists!!! Much less expensive and easier than trying to win one of the big plushie signs to carry around

I was thinking more along the lines of an elementary school playground "My Daddy can beat your Daddy up". I will listen to the people who actually work or have worked in areas like this as opposed to a self-proclaimed "Master" of anything.

Fury 325 doesnt apply for the reasons you mentioned, and believe me had that not been right out in the open where Stevie Wonder could see it, there wouldnt have been peep one from the park.

@IndyGuy4KI @RallyomalleyI agree with both of you, communication would be great but the reality is, can we trust a single spoken or typed word that comes from anyone above the rank and file non management park employees? I feel the answer is a very solid “no” from Zimmerman all the way down, it will be a collection of feel good phrases and other such flim-flam. Even something as simple as “Hey folks we get it, one train ops irritate everyone, but one of our trains is currently undergoing maintenance and it will be back on the track ASAP” would at least present a sliver of an olive branch.

These assclowns are even doing drastic SATURDAY staffing cuts now?? The people in the glass offices in Sandusky and Charlotte need to take the firearms out of their hands and quit shooting themselves in their overpaid feet, because that is exactly what their short term gain stupidity is akin to. Ive already said pass renewal is at a tipping point for me, and there is absolutely no way I am alone in my thoughts on that, at least not in the World outside of fansites.

Sad sign of the times when a genie program does a better job than someone who spent way too much time and money in school and has a 6 figure salary. I guess above all what I want to know is, what was the deal with and the point of all of the "Smoke the competition" and other similar garbage that would open the door to some form of race or competition. The only competition this is going to have is how many times I can ride SV and still make it back to take pics of people that go with me to the park who waited to ride this ride?

Call it “Deuce”

Seeing this is confirmed makes me want to go ride Valravn… and for those who have been around a while know my thoughts on Valravn aka Dive Turkey.

Ive been saying all along since seeing the B.S. "leak" that the only thing true is that its Zamperla, and everything else is exactly that... B.S. I am feeling that this combined with the B.S. "discovered" HTML code that was briefly on the CP website hold the truth together. I feel everything in that "oops" is correct (276ft spike, 65/87/112 launch speeds) but the Polaris name is not.

A BRILLIANT way to secure your phone without paying for a locker, I mean, would YOU go pick up some rando pair of shorts to rummage through them?

I am a little late to the game here, but here are my thoughts and feelings. I was happy as soon as I saw the announcement for Cargo Loco, and was VERY happy when I found out the barrels could be manually spun like the teacups at the Disney properties. I took my first spin on CL July 3rd and at first felt bad about being "that person" with FL and being a single rider, but once I saw that it actually does run people through the queue at a fairly rapid pace those feelings went away quickly and I now Love my solo rides on it. Ive never once had a problem spinning the barrels quite quickly even on my own, though it is a workout and I will appreciate when I have others helping me spin when Im not solo, just spin the barrel into to rotation (the platform spins counterclockwise so spin the barrels counterclockwise as well). As far as Sol Spin goes, I always had a fear of Enterprises, and even though I have no problem riding the Paratrooper style rides like the one at IB, I had a mental block/fear of riding an Enterprise or the like due to going fully inverted so I never thought Id ride it. However, I am happy and thankful that @DJSkyFoxx convinced me to at least give it a try 2 weeks ago because, after the initial fear and a brief thought of "Hey, the restraints havent come down yet, I can hop off and slip out the exit" I toughed it out and LOVED it enough to ride a second time in a row. I experienced absolutely none of the discomfort that others have experienced in the seats or with the restraints, and while snug like it should be, sitting in a full containment racing seat with 5 point harness makes the seats on Sol Spin feel like Cadillac seats so I was right at home and happy as a clam in them. Ive got to say my favorite part of Sol Spin is the G pull when you go vert on it as it reminds me a lot of the feel when a jet leaves the runway and the plane rotates and lifts.

A new coaster installation at a CF park that isnt made by B&M or GCI? Surely you jest!! And no, Top Thrill Wicked Polaris doesn't count as a new installation, its a revision.

Gotta be the Dippin'Dots person!!!

This is why fate will never allow me to win a Powerball.... because Im one of those goofballs who would pay BIG coin for one of those lead cars just to have chillin' in my game room.

Im happy they didnt kill the ride, but a queue relocation and replacement of the hydraulic launch with LSMs would have been fine with me, and honestly much more satisfactory than the Dragster/Wicked Twister drunken one night stand Love child this is going to be.

C'mon man, really. Yes we can say that, as it would have been shut down just the same, at the same time, had it been a coaster of any other manufacturer.

Remember another wise statement a certain poster used to make here.... "Those who know, dont tell", not even as much as was told here... so there ya go.

Dining and drink plans wont change, if they are going to utilize their regular M.O., they will go for the BIG money grab and eliminate Passport season long FL and make it valid only at the park the Gold is assigned to. People can leave the park to eat and can always get free water, but there is no way someone who is used to having FL at KI for instance would tolerate a day at CP without it and they know it. so that way not will they get the $1000 bones from the sale of the season long FL, but also however many $150 wristbands that person buys.

This right here, I think Ive finally gotten to where I really wouldnt miss having it, I can find other things to do.

That is literally the one RMC I wouldnt ride.

That would go over about as well with the townsfolk as Kinzel buying a house in the new housing development on the property.

And gee, just think, probably something as simple as a Tweet that said "We are just gutting the building of the Wolfpack maze" or whatever would put a stop to so much of that garbage... but that would be approaching actual disclosure and we know that everything in the industry is Classified as if it was the key to the nuclear football. "No decision has been made at this time" if anyone remembers back to December of 2012.
