As someone who doesn't live that close to any park and has limited time off from work, I love the option of FL+... Some days the added value is worth the extra cost to me... Some days it's slow and it isn't worth it to me... Everyone gets to do their own math on that and make their own choice...

Frank' N Coaster on top of the Burger King in Niagara Falls... Only coaster I rode in 2020 It was slim pickings up here, my options were 3 hours to Niagara or 6 hours to La Ronde...

Whatever it is, it needs to have good capacity. The park just draws too many people. And 'underwhelming' has to be taken in context. This is a park where the best coaster Paramount added was either Italian Job or the SLC. And the best overall coaster in the park when CF bought it was their suspended. And yet they still managed to pull huge numbers through the gate. 3 of those 4 additions you mentioned were great for the park.

Bought a Platinum Pass with All Season Fast Lane last February. Got to ride it 0 times

Not for me. YMMV

Not sure if they need it, but I never say 'no' to a Drop Tower. Always gives me that split-second AAAAAAAAAAAAgonnadie moment of panic. Love it.

"Always"? No. Eventually, hopefully far, far in the future, Orion will come down. At this point, it will no longer be the tallest coaster at KI. During it's service life? No, I don't think they will build a taller coater, barring some unforeseen breath through in coaster building.

It's just something about the way the seat fits (or doesn't fit). When the restraint comes down, for it to come down, it bends my spine crazy weird. I'm not a crazy tall person either. It hurts before the train starts to move, it's not a roughness things. And no other Arrow I've ridden does it to me.

Time Warp at Canada's Wonderland. Skip it and hit the funnel cake stand next to it. It's so bad, I'd ride the SLC next door twice before I ride this once. Honorable mention to Corkscrew at Cedar Point. Something about those cars/restraints just bends my spine in a very uncomfortable way.

Out of curiosity, what is the temp cutoff point for the Cedar Fair B&Ms? I've ridden while it snowed, temp that day was probably -2 C. Was cold enough I only re-rode once.

Iron Dragon is what you would get if you ordered The Bat from Wish.com

I find it a bit hard on the thighs if you sit the wrong way, but for it's age, I don't think it's too bad... I've always found it a bit underwhelming compared to newer hypercoasters, but I think it's just they deliver more of the feeling that I enjoy... I really enjoy the small hills coming back to the station, but that's also where the most potential for pain is... I also think that the ride is much better at night...

Are we talking about now, or back in the day?

Very jealous I didn't get to partake, it looked like a nice turn from the standard park fare... Hope it returns in the future...

I'd wager a Blue Ice Cream that there isn't. KI has a lot to offer, and I could see it being a few years before they add something that costly to the lineup. This year hasn't exactly been a great one from a profit standpoint, and I did recall hearing something about them just getting a fairly pricey coaster recently... I think if they do get a dive, it'd be a bit farther out than 2022...

I think if you're going off of 'significance on the amusement and theme park industry' I'd have to go with The Racer... I think a lot of people are answering different questions though...

This is true... I'd be down for buying an old wheel or brake pad that's outlived it's service life and is destined for the dumpster...

I'd rather see RMC do something build something from scratch than to modify one of the existing coasters at KI...

Ya, they're good because the Intamin ones break down too often

Very sad... I hope they get to the root cause and put things in place to prevent events like this in the future...

I personally go by the drop... If you take MF and bury the whole thing underground, it's still a giga to me...

Mondial Top Scan...

The one at CW isn't that popular with the GP... In a typical cycle, it's rare to look at the scoreboard and see more than half a dozen of the seats get a single full rotation, or more than 2 get double digits... This is purely due to the riders, not the cycle... Doesn't help that they lessened how far the wings go to make it harder to rotate due to a few people getting crazy high rotations... The average rider though just moves the wings around like a bird thrown out of the nest for the first time... The end result is that very few people give it a second go due to a disappointing first ride...

I'd like to not see the train renamed 'THE SNAK EXPRESS' with 'BROUGHT TO YOU BY SLIM JIM' written on the engine...

Manufacturer is not the same as Installer... To the government there is a very large difference between buying a coaster elsewhere, importing it, and having it installed by Canadians, and bringing foreign workers in to the country to build it... And the crux of the issue is that (apparently) RMC wants to do the install... For the record, I have no idea how true this is...
