^^It was pretty obvious anyways.. I'm really expecting something good to go in it's place..

I am in LOVE with their new website re-design!
I REALLY hope other Cedar Fair parks go with that design, or a similar one. It's defiantly a MUCH needed upgrade to many of their sites. As they look very "old" and useless. I am happy to see switches.

^ Kings Dominion was the first, and they got theirs in August. I'm with you, hopefully the other CF parks change theirs soon as it's a welcome change! California's Great America REALLY needs a new website; they still have the Paramount design!

I love the Crypt when it was Tomb Raider. After I rode it when it was renamed The Crypt, I thought to myself what has happen to one of the best thrill rides in the park. Yes I know it ran on a crazy program that was hard on the ride. Cedar Fair though could maybe run the ride on a more thrilling program that wasn't to hard on the ride at the time they were changing everything to CF ownership. Although if it gets taken out hopefully CF can replace it with something better.

2012 non-labeled Map is Posted. Crypt is still on it, Son of Beast is not.

^^Well yeah, most park maps still have the same information..

It looks like Kings Island is Painting their Invertigo the same as Dorney Park's

Work has begun on giving Invertigo a new color scheme. Aqua track with royal blue supports. http://twitpic.com/8jhgd3 - Kins Island's Twitter

^Oh, how very glad I am to see that. I think many coasters incorporating a lot of yellow paint are ugly, and combining it with red just makes it worse. On the other hand, I love practically any coaster with aqua, teal or turquoise paint.

That's going to look great, especially from the entrance plaza of the park as it has those colors out there. Those colors really faded badly and the ride looked like crap... glad it is getting some TLC.

Is this the surplus paint from Leviathan?
