  1. It does make me wonder when was the last time Cedar Fair sent the bigger, better to a park other than Cedar Point when multiple Cedar Fair parks were getting something announced at the same time. But at least it's not Michigan's Adventure.
  2. According to the National Geographic - "The odds of becoming a lightning victim in the U.S. in any one year is 1 in 700,000. The odds of being struck in your lifetime is 1 in 3,000. Lightning can kill people (3,696 deaths were recorded in the U.S. between 1959 and 2003) or cause cardiac arrest."
  3. Hey I say what ever suites you in the moment go for it. (Assuming no one is hurt and it's not illegal.) There are times when I really enjoy being alone, but other times when I love being with friends/family. I don't see anything about either case just different moods.
  4. I think a couple of newer items since this thread was most active are wing coasters and RMC coasters either built from the ground up or reworked. And, who would have thought someone other than CP would have both a giga and a hyper?
  5. Think you'll really enjoy the trip. SFGAdv use the skyway if it's running and also the bridge on the left side of the park is handy to get around.
  6. Hi - I'm new here this is my second post. My first post was kindly closed by larrygator who I want to thank so much for letting me know that I should post that on this thread. Now, being new and having been on other forums where they frown upon people posting to an open thread with a seemingly new topic I didn't realize that was the approved, sanctioned policy for this form so again I want to thank larrygator for helping me out. So my thread was locked and since larrygator told me to post here I'll gladly do that very thing. Oh, and in case there's any confusion or other questions I'll also post larrygator's statement telling me to post here and I do want to thank everyone for helping to make new members feel so welcome. Complete Lineup Essentials Postby Aptz » Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:41 am What are the essentials for a coaster lineup and park so no one is left out and no one goes home feeling something was missing? There is no maximum limit to the ride count, but the goal is to be efficient by minimizing cost/count. Also, choices need to be currently existing models/types. I'm thinking of a park that's at least a reasonably sized regional. Mine would likely include: Coasters: Height - Giga or Hyper or Dive Machine Launch - single or multi Inverted Smooth - B & M Wood - a Headliner to semi-Headliner (possibly substituted by an RMC?) and possibly a second wooden coaster like an out 'n bout Family (2-3) - Wild Mouse, Mine Train, Suspended/other Family Junior Possible Choices to also include: Sit Down Looper - if inversions are missing from above A Mistake Coaster - a boomerang comes to mind judging by many folk's opinion Wing Coaster? - is this an essential coaster, if not will it become an essential? Flat Rides: Thrilling - Drop Tower, 2 or 3 others (could also include an extra charge ride) Water Rides - Log Flume, Ragging Rapids Dark Ride - interactive Shooter and maybe a classic haunted house Family - Carousel, Bumper Cars, Vintage Cars, Scrambler/Tea Cups, Tilt-a-Whirl, Pirate Ship, Ferris Wheel/Observation Tower? Kiddie - Some cool ones like Bumper Boats, Frog Hopper, Kiddle Ferris Wheel, and also some kiddie circular rides (I find it interesting there are more iconic family flat rides, like the carousel and bumper cars than thrilling ones.) Other Shows/Games - some good ones, uncertain as to how many Food and Other Accommodations - spread out around the park, nice menu and serving style variety (at least one sit down restaurant) Cleanliness Reasonable Prices Landscaping and/or Scenery - nicely done and well kept Friendly & Effective Staff I think this hits most of the highlights. I'm curious to hear if you agree with my choices? What would you do differently? Have I overlooked anything?
