So if you haven't seen the Trip Plans for 2017 thread recently, I'm planning on visiting a couple parks this summer: http://forums.coasterforce.com/threads/trip-plans-for-2017.40460/page-7#post-990356
I figured it'd be worthwhile to start a thread for all (let's be honest, it'll likely be most as I'll probably forget this thread) of my park visits throughout the year. I can't promise a full journal style write up for each park, especially since I'd rather not write about yet another visit to Cedar Point or my 8th visit to Kentucky Kingdom to whore Storm Chaser after work, but I'll attempt to put in a solid effort for the new parks or the ones I seldom get to visit.
So let's start with Cedar Point, shall we?
- First thing's first...Mean Streak: http://forums.coasterforce.com/thre...onversion-rmc-i-box.40073/page-45#post-991285
- The park was experiencing opening weekend growing pains. It was evident that employees were still green and there were frequent, minor breakdowns all across the park. Magnum didn't even open today.
- Ripcord has a new location where Shoot The Rapids used to be and blends in quite well.
- Maverick was running great today.
- Millennium Force, unfortunately, gave its worst ride in probably seven or eight years for me. It was a bit surprising as the park has been taking great care of the ride over the past few years and it's been aging like a fine wine, getting a bit faster and more intense every year. Hopefully it'll run great again once the weather warms up.
- The park expanded their barn yard and features more animals, including some emus, hares, a second camel, and a lot more goats. I thought it was pretty neat to see all the kids getting up close to the animals.
- Cedar Point Shores looks like a snoozefest, but is anybody surprised?
I'll leave everyone with this photo of Sampson. If you get to the Point this summer, take some time to say hello to Sampson and Ardee:
