Maverick00

I went to Knott's in 2010 and I was pretty disappointed with the park. It was right after the Xcelerator incident and in March so a lot of rides were closed. That'll be a nice addition to the park though.

Well I haven't been following the construction (destruction) threads lately but I think whatever happens, it'll be ready for 2014. I highly doubt it'll be a Giga too. I'd actually be shocked if it was.

It'll be Luminosity - Fueled by Marathon. I've already seen signs for it saying coming back in 2013.

"Space Spiral style"

Amusement parks better not turn into the airlines where every company must merge.

A new construction video and pictures have been posted on the Gatekeeper page on PointBuzz! http://pointbuzz.com/c/Gatekeeper.aspx

Ya I see them calling rides by there old names a lot.

Pretty cool. You actually can't see the path most of the ride. The fog pretty much covers the whole ride too.

Last night was probly the best night so far. I've never seen the park so dead (pun intended). Every coaster was a a walk on the entire night except for Dragster which was only a couple feet out of the station and Millennium which was at the end of the unload station. I walked right onto Maverick before closing. I rode Skyhawk and maXair several times without getting off. The haunt attractions were about 15 minutes all night. The weather was perfect too. No wind at all so the fog stayed in its location all night and it was perfect hoodie and jeans weather without feeling too warm or cold.

That area of the park looks great. I was there last night and its amazing how different it was. I never realized how much space Disaster Transport took up. It looks much better without Space Spiral too.

I've been pretty lucky. During my last trip to the Point, Millennium was down half the day but that was because of a lightning strike. Besides that, they're almost all always open. I do know one Intamin that's very reliable, Jr. Gemini

It looks like more and more parks are going with a show similar to Luminosity. Maybe in 10 years every park will have a pop dance show and we'll know Cedar Point started it

I still do not want Kings Island to get a giga, nor do I think they need one.

I think WindSeeker is a great ride. It's a nice relaxing ride with great views. It's nice on hot days too because it cools you off pretty fast. I think Cedar Fair is going to take a close look at these, I don't think they'll be open for the rest of the year at the seasonal parks (every park besides KBF).

I think it's safe to say this ride won't be expanding to any park in the United States. Some people think this doesn't affect much but I know many people that see this on the news every couple months and refuse to ride it.

I thought it was Kings Dominion's BLSC that was going to be relocated to Carowinds? I know it was closed for a while.

Must not be a Football guy. I'd never go to a park on a Sunday during Football season.

Can you post that topic? I'd like to see it.

Here's an article with pictures close up. http://www.wkyc.com/news/article/260593/45/Watch-Cedar-Points-Space-Spiral-crashes-down

I feel both ways about Millennium Force. If I grey out, I don't really like it cause I miss half the ride but if I don't grey out, it's one of the best rides around. I think Maverick is very under rated. Once you figure out how to ride it, it is just as good as Millennium and Dragster.

Any Inverted roller coaster by B&M and Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom unless your in the first seat.

Looks like it was pushed back to tomorrow from what I've heard.

They said SS will be down by the end of Sept and footers will start being poured on October 1st.

Whoops, didn't see that.

Oceans of Fun will undergo its largest expansion for its 40th anniversary in 2013. In edition, the parks will be combined under single admission and feature a new 6 slide complex. http://www.kansascity.com/2012/08/31/3790606/expansion-set-at-oceans-of-fun.html http://newsplusnotes.blogspot.com/
