The Bear is just out getting some honey.

I wonder if that means Iron dragon will bite the dust first then. I would hate to see The Bat go. It's a great coaster! As far as Rougarou goes, I hope that goes to another Cedar Fair park like Michigan Adventure's instead of the scrap yard. I might be the only one on here, but I'm a fan of Rougarou!

I brought back the dreams thread, but nobody responded to it. I guess nobody has dreams of the park anymore.

With The Beast getting an overhaul this winter/spring, I had a dream that Kings Island was allowing people to come up to the platform on opening day to see the progress. Everyone was allowed to look at the center TV screen to see the construction photos and webcam of the progress, but not allowed to cross the loading area. Isn't that strange? I remember wanting to look beyond the lift hill, but the employees kept telling me to stay back. I guess I'm looking forward to the season starting.

Hopefully, come opening day, they'll have an estimated date by the entrance.

I hope the Fudge is made from scratch. I love getting some fresh Fudge when I go to Kings Island or Cedar Point

I know people will probably skip over this topic, but do you ever hear the songs they play in the shed for Mystic Timbers at a grocery store? If not a grocery store, then where? I've heard Total eclipse of the heart several times in the Giant Eagle I used to work at. What's funny too is I'll randomly go home and re-listen to it to connect me to the moment of being on Mystic Timbers. Does anyone have these moments?

Has anyone ever been so desperate to blow up their park map by taking it to Office max or staples? It cost me $25 plus tax. Not bad right?

^ Maybe I'm crazy here, but if they used part of the Crypt building for The Beast queue, wouldn't that seem like too much queue?

Are they going to relay new footers where the old ones are currently sitting at the base of the second drop? I thought part of the second drop where it entered the helix was sinking over the years? I figured that was one of the reasons they took it apart right there?

Now that we're in the New Year, does anyone think we'll have an update on The Beast soon? I need some kind of update here!

I'm sure you're being sarcastic there, but I would care. Heck, it bothers me that Blue streak at Cedar Point doesn't have the plaque.

^ Did The Racer what?

The one reason I could see people wanting a Ferris wheel is because it would offer another ride that you can take in the views of the park along with being able to snap pictures. WindSeeker and Drop Tower are nice, but you're not allowed to have a camera up there on either ride. I think Planet Snoopy would be a good area for a medium sized ferris wheel. Something along the lines of what Kings Dominion has near Racer 75. I know that Ferris wheel came from the late Geauga Lake, but from my observation, the guests seem to love it there.

^ Sorry dude. I just thought any alterations of a roller coaster being the layout or trains, it would ruin the ACE status. Now would it be different if say they added a new hill in the layout?

I never had a problem with roughness on The Beast. Some people said they thought the wheel seats were rough, but I never had an issue. My question is, with altering The Beast, will they lose their ACE landmark plaque?

I had a dream where I saw The Beast in the off-season with the new construction progress. Kings Island also showed off new trains for The Beast. I believe they were timberliner trains like what GCI used for Mystic Timbers.

I hope both families take their case to Cedar Fair to resolve this. That's just messed up. If the teens didn't do it, why punish them for it? I thought they had cameras on the park property?

Well the only new roller coaster in the chain is going to Kings Dominion. I'm sure park updates don't cost as much as a brand new roller coaster does. Someone help me out here, does scrapping a roller coaster like Cedar Point is doing actually help them out financially? I'm sure they get some money back for the steel scrap.

I'm confused what you mean by the nails? I know how the foot pedals work, but lost on the nails part.

That's beautiful!

I wonder If they'll put in steel supports like they did the one year for the helix? Anyone remember that from a year or two ago?

Actually, my friend took a photo from the ground. I wasn't planning on sharing his photo since I don't have his permission anyway.

I don't know If this is being discussed on another page, but I have a friend share a photo with me about The Beast missing it's drop right now. It looks like they're having track work done to it.

So out of curiosity, did they start from the top of the tower? It seemed like that a couple weeks ago.
