Or England. Seems like every other park there has one.

I've seen those before, Didn't Great Adventure have something like it in '99?

9 days until the wind is seeked.

They should have called it Wind Breaker.

Top Scans are awesome. I have only been on one once and it was the one at Canada's Wonderland, but they are definitely one of my favorite flat rides.

Best flat at wonderland by far.

KI's seeker is being pushed back... May get to ride the first one ever. More likely it will get pushed back too. Wonderland usually has their stuff together on making deadlines though.

The reason I am so very happy on this fine day. Early Construction could not be a bad thing.

So that's where GA's Flight Deck is going.

I Origionally thought that months ago but have since talked myself off that. CW doesn't do hand me downs.

Maybe my Wild Fyre the Dragon Beast Idea

CW does what Cedar Fair decides it will be allowed to do. The past is not the present nor the future.

At one time, Cedar Fair didn't do parking lot coasters, either. Been to Kings Dominion lately?

AV Matt · « **Reply #36 on:** May 03, 2011, 06:53:18 PM »

Yeah, I always laugh when enthusiasts assume past patterns predict the future at parks; i.e., parking lot coasters, hand-me-downs, every X years = new coaster, and my favorite is the assumption that a park wants to have two of each manufacturer next to each other like people are saying about Hershey right now.

That groups of two thing makes me laugh... It`s just the one guy though isn`t it. It`s a cool observation, and I wouldn`t be shocked if it`s B&M.

But in all seriousness CW isn`t getting hand me downs anytime soon. CP doesn`t get them and neither should CW. Hand me downs are for the MI`s, WOF`s of the world.

Aside from the fact that CW deserves better than hand me downs there is the fact that they have no need for extra coasters that aren't high end. They have a ton of average coasters and don`t need anymore. What they need is a few high end rides, and they always like to go the high capacity route. Flight Deck doesn`t make sense from a few reasons. First of the elevation differences wouldn`t work in the area being worked on. Also it would render the current Flight Deck useless. It`s ridership has been cut in half or more since behemoth has opened, and bringing in GA`s flight deck would kill it. which would be great for me but doesn`t make sense to bring in a 20 year old coaster under these circumstances.

It might not even be a coaster... but the only other thing that might make sense there is a screaming swing. Most other major flats CW already has. Anyway`s I`m more of a wait and find out guy, then a speculate guy, so lets just wait and see.

In other news Vortex has either been painted or it has new trains. I was also told it`s really slow this year in bank buyouts. something about wheels for colder weather... does this make sense to anyone. I`d be sad if the slow down was permanent.

No I haven`t been to kings dominion lately... coaster in the parking lot? lol

If Vortex has "warm weather wheels" installed (soft wheels), it will run slow in the cooler weather. Since it's not their top attraction (for most people, not me though), they may have felt it was a waste of time to switch the wheels out when they can safely run it on the same wheel setup.

Geauga Lake's Dominator was built on the edge of the parking lot at Kings Dominion.

No time for Kennywood that weekend.

Besides, Kennywood is a day trip for us.
