    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    As long as the rattle isn't as bad as it is on Ka then I'll be happy. I always assumed the reason TTD was a smoother ride was due to the restraints (lap bar vs. over the shoulder). The mechanics for the restraint below the seat vs. at your head has to play a roll since the weight distribution at...

    Six Flags / Cedar Fair Merger Announced

    Not at this point. I would assume the earliest a harmonized pass would be available for be for the 2025 season.

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    The vibrations aren't too bad at all near the first (within the first 4 rows). I actually found my rides in 2023 to be pretty enjoyable as long as I could prevent the restraint from tightening too much. From what I've heard the back of the train is unbearable.

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    I nearly cried and since I was at work I had to hold it in. The video was so great and I'm more excited than I thought I could be for this park.

    Dollywood announce Lightning Rod's launch to be replaced with chain lift

    I got extremely lucky during my two day visit in April 2018 and got 4 rides on LRod. That launch was a ton of fun but if it will be open on a regular basis then I'm all for this change. I was so stressed before my visit about the coaster being down for my visit and while it was closed most of...

    Rides that don't feel safe

    Coast Rider at Knott's felt like the cars were going to fly off the track on every turn. The first time I was genuinely scared for my safety on a coaster.

    Dorney Park | Iron Menace | B&M Dive Machine | 2024

    Coaster Studios did an interview with someone at Dorney when this was announced and he said there will be a house that tie's in with the coaster, so good call everyone who thought of this!

    Loch Ness Monster @ BGW to undergo major refurbishment in 2024

    When I rode this in 2022 it was not as rough as I was expecting but this is great news. The interconnected loops are so picturesque I can't imagine BGW without this coaster.

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    With some of the replies I've seen on Twitter and FB recently to the new teasing and people speculating what's going on with TTD 2.0, I'm beginning to lose faith at people's ability to objectively look at that construction site and at least realize a second top hat isn't happening. So while I...

    Rides that don't feel safe

    I second this one. I didn't realize how much the structure moved until I was off it and my friend pointed it out. :oops:

    Most rides you've ever had on one attraction in a day?

    I believe during member previews for Jersey Devil I had about 15 rides in 90 minutes. My other would be 9 laps on Nitro and 7 of those were in a row without leaving my seat since the park had just opened and there was no line.

    Major Rides At Your Local Park You Always Skip?

    Pretty much this except I always ride Batman. If Joker's line is pretty short I'll always ride it. If the line is backed up to the switchbacks then I'll skip.

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    I couldn’t get a picture of the removed track pieces since I was on Iron Dragon but I’m glad a picture was posted. There was work being done this morning when the park opened for early entry but I couldn’t see what’s going on. Most of the brake fins on the launch have been removed. The only ones...

    El Toro incident 25 August

    I've seen several people who have ridden it within the last month say similar things. In 2019, El Toro was getting quite rough and the turnaround after the two airtime hills jackhammered me so badly I considered never riding it again. After it reopened for the 2021 season I rode it in May and...
