Hi all I went to the park back in june for a few days I was blown away how not so busy the lines were on a monday for the summer season i took some pictures. I dint get a chance to ride black diamond or flying turns as the lines were 30 mins everytime i walked by.

Hello! I went to PPP in 2017, couldn’t make it last year. Tried to reach out to Knoebels to confirm some details but they couldn’t confirm one way or another whether Club TPR was still an approved enthusiast group for the event. Can anyone shed light on this?

I have not heard anything from them one way or another. I don't see why we wouldn't be an approved group as we have been in the past.

^Yesh, I figured as such! I’ll register and it should all be a okay! They didn’t post a list on the Facebook event like they’ve done in years past, just said like ‘card-carrying member of an approved enthusiast group’ or something. Thanks Robb!

^ I somehow missed it, glad you enjoyed your visit! Don't think I've seen too many photos from the arcade, so I liked seeing that. For future photo TR's, I'd recommend putting more comments underneath the photos, since that's a great place to talk about some of the more specific details on how your day went.

Wife update! (For anyone still following this saga of my wife who's afraid of coasters/heights, that is.)

 

This past weekend at this year's Phunfest, she finally bucked up and went for her first ride on Phoenix (or, as my daughter has taken to calling it as of late, "the trampoline coaster"). Managed to talk her into it by telling her the drop was only 2 feet higher than Jack Rabbit's at Kennywood, which she did last weekend. Super happy to finally get all four of us on at the same time! She denies making any noise whatsoever, but she let out yelps over every last hump in that airtime buffet.

 

It was a great weekend, and I'm sure everyone else who was there will put up full reports with pics at some point. But honestly, it's Knoebels. What more needs to be said?

I was very seriously looking at finally going to PPP this year, but it just wouldn't quite work out, unfortunately... However, I'm am absolutely planning on making it out to Knoebels finally next year, if not for PPP, just for a regular day there! It's definitely more than time!

God I love this park so much. If it wasn't for this site, I might have never got to visit. I had so much fun there last year, I wish I could have spent 2 days.

 

My Dad rode the Flying Turns at Euclid Beach when he was a kid, I need to get him out there in 2020. He'd love it. 5-6 hours from Cleveland but I think he'd find the trip worth it.

Knoebels is hinting on Facebook that one of their rides may not be returning next year.

 

Any guesses? I'm thinking it's probably a flat. My best guess is that it could be the Italian Trapeze since I have seen it dismantled or closed on my past few visits.

Or, they could be do the same bait-and-switch that they've done before - remove a ride, yes, but install an identical new ride in its place.

One thing that charging per ride does for a park is that it basically guarantees a popular ride will never be removed, since the more popular it is, the more money it makes. Rides with huge downtime are the ones to look at, since not only does it cost money to fix, but they lose money every day the ride is down. A park like Six Flags is only going to lose money on downtime if the ride is high profile enough to keep people away.
