You make a valid point there.  Either ADA ramps (which would kinda kill the flow of at least one side) or a leveling of the floor would be necessary if those or other *steps* have yet to be taken.

That's a grave question. The answer may not be set in stone. Oh, sure.

Oh, Terpy. 

I try not to boddah anybody.

Oh, sure.

I don't think putting a coaster over the front gate makes any sense either, knowing all of the existing infrastructure around there, it would be a difficult decision what to remove.  International Street is special with the fountain, putting a coaster in would detract from the theme.  It ain't broke. so don't fix it.

 

Anyone see the rebuilt Shake Rattle and Roll with all of it's LED glory, holy cow.  I really like it.  Reminds me of what Cedar Point did with the Gemini midway last year.

 

Hope to meet some of you at CoasterStock soon.  So looking forward to The Beast behind the scenes.

 

Hard to see but my avatar is a pic of us holding the origianal Banshee sign model from the Cedar Point print and model shop near MeanStreak.

I agree. As nice as it would be to have a front gate coaster I think it would ruin a little bit of the ambience of International Street.

Plus as others have stated there isn't much room around there for it, and since they have just done work on the front gate building I don't see it coming down soon either.

The day will come.

Purists will not be amused.

Terp, apropos of....

Oh, they can definitely make room, and kill the ambiance.  It's just not as logical a conclusion or easy a decision for Cedar Fair to make as some other parks.  They've already proven an ability to surprise us.

 

Some (many, actually) mourn the loss of the old main gate building at Carowinds, believing that the new one has killed some of the ambiance there.  There are others, however, who strongly believe that the new entrance is vastly improved, for myriad reasons.

Money talks.

BS walks.

Also, has anyone noticed that the magnetic trim after the zero g roll has been removed?

Yes. It's been mentioned here.

First I've heard of it myself.

I've yet to ride Banshee this year. How does it affect the ride itself?

It was never actually in use, to my knowledge...

Just a heads up for everyone.  If you ride Banshee in the rain, you will get grease, oil, or whatever is on the train dripped on you.  On Friday, one of my favorite t shirts got ruined.

 

Not knocking the ride at all.  Just letting you all know.

^ Ruined? Hardly. That's called Seasoned. You have now have a rare and valuable t shirt.

Great Bear at Hershey Park had warning signs for that.

I'm pretty sure that, earlier in this thread, I raved about Banshee.  For good reason.  It's a great ride, and it's something the park needed.  I had similar feelings about Diamondback when it was new.

 

On a related note, for the past couple seasons, I have more than willingly waited in long lines, if needed, for The Beast, Racer, Adventure Express, and The Bat.

 

Along those lines, I'm eagerly looking forward to (project) 2017...and beyond...(will I be in line for it beyond 2017?...I'm thinking there's a good chance of that!).
