Ok, so as everyone said already, Southern Yellow Pine is the wood of choice for all of the reasons stated, but that doesn't stop companies from experimenting with different materials to improve on various characteristics and design objectives. Not quite a decade ago, GCI was working with Kings...

Yes, that is a trim. And no, Orion's first hill is not a wave turn. It is not profiled out to induce airtime. Riders are simply hanging in the air sideways.

I think at this point the best thing to do is just worry about yourself. A contingent of us were at Lagoon and Silverwood the past few days and saw maybe half the park goers at Lagoon wearing masks and even less at Silverwood. We were sure to keep our masks on at all times, maintain social...

I would not be surprised to learn that Six Flags parks might be in a similar situation, but for whatever reason their possible liens are not publicized. SeaWorld already has the bad press from blackfish still lingering so I wouldn't be surprised about a possible media bias.

Somebody poke me in a few days when I'm not on the road to discuss how GCI has experimented with Brazilian Walnut.

So @tomahawk, @Snoo, @LooperOne, and I were able to tour S&S Worldwide's facility earlier today. I plan on posting a more in depth trip report once I get home, but I at least wanted to share some content and briefly talk about the ride. Axis was phenomenal, even though it's a tiny prototype...

Meh. It will be objectively good because of its scale, but it's still sooooo disappointing.

Those are indeed Dragon Slayer's trains.

Don't get me wrong, this looks like a great ride...but better than Nemesis? Katun? Black Mamba?

As discussed elsewhere, that pricetag for Flight of the Phoenix covers hardware costs exclusively. Deconstruction, shipping reconstruction, landscaping, etc will certainly inflate that price to familiar numbers, but by no means near Flamingoland's claimed $20m number.

Everyone is certain that Orion will quickly exhibit a rattle because both Diamondback and Banshee did only a few seasons after they opened. Considering how other Cedar Fair parks have managed to not only maintain their B&Ms, but also improve some of them, it's an indicator that Kings Island just...

I just had flashbacks of Patriot while watching that.

Last I remember, there is nothing in that spot currently. It's just some old cement pads that aren't really being utilized at the moment.

Hey, at least Cedar Fair cares enough to plant grass under the floorless coasters they plop down in a parking lot.

Same thing with the rest of Maverick's theming. It all must be #WhatsInTheShed

Let's not get carried away here. Yes, it looks "nice" and they happened to put a few static props next to the cattlepens, but it is by no means Disney or Universal levels of immersion. It's still very much a roller coaster queue line. Orion is supposed to be "themed" to a military spaceplane...

Wonder Woman is listed at 113 feet and Railblazer is listed at 106. That seven foot height difference could be attributed to footer heights relative to what is considered grade. 108 feet is right in that sweet spot.

As far as I know, Parc Asterix's launcher has not changed layouts. People have been seeing the rendering of Intamin's stock model, which was the archetype for Parc Asterix's ride, and assuming that the layout changed.

This is Cedar Fair we're talking about. You're not getting much more than concrete: Photo found on Reddit, since deleted.
